Given the size of the module and the actual case of the watch, it goes to show the serious shock resistance Casio puts into it. Amazing engineering!
Engine is small, but it needs a huge protection
I took apart my GW-9400. Thanks to your video. There was a speck of dust between the decorative piece and the front glass. Possibly a failed quality control inspection. I got that speck of dust out and was able to reassemble everything back.
Finally bought the 2023 Yellow accents Rangeman i love this watch what an amazing machine
Always enjoy your video dissecting and explaining the parts in details. Has been waiting for this
i waiting this video 😍😍😍.thank you bro ,salute from malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾
Film Extraction, Chris Hemsworth was rocking this watch! 💪
Ikr..thats cool
Thanks to you, I have been able to disassemble and remove that horrible metallic gold ring! Thank you! now i can look at my happy rangeman! without any golden ring
You have huge knowledge about G-Shocks , interesting vid.
Yes!
Amazing!!! Now i saw all parts of my rangeman....and mine is like the video....green negative display too...awesome video!!!Greetings from Brazil!
Wow. Very nice job. I am saving this video for future reference. Thanks again.
Awesome! That sophisticated and complex technology in the super thin machine! Amazing japan is amazing!
Anyway you need to get more respect, your channel is so great, i hope one day casio will look at your hard work....
Most Excellent detailed video! You could teach classes at G-Shock University my friend...
I would be so scared to do this not everything goes back together...you keep track of where everything goes.. very smart
I'm about to open my rangeman in order to fix some issues so I found your video very useful. And btw about the weak part of the wristband that you've talked in the beginning of your video. Ive broke mine after 5 years. I really like that watch which is IMO in the Top 3 of the best professional watch of all time. However it have a weak point at the wristband. (This is theoretical, and for a " normal use " it shouldn't be a problem. BUT if you have a job like ; firefighter, construction worker, military and law enforcement... just mind you, every G Shock as a limit, and because of the intensity of your routine, you are going to realize that you are actually way tougher than your watch can be ; )
Maybe you use to tight at wrist ?
Awesome video! Thank you!
"if casio would downsize their next gen rangeman they could"
Casio: NOPE
Hell No !!! Go Bigger !!!
He'll no downsize just a bit.... lots of people out there looking so stupid with small or even average wrist and a giant G-Shock cough cough... too clunky there's nothing tactical about it..
The Range man and the mud man are the biggest G-Shock i own along with the 7900. I love them but I always wish they were a bit smaller...
Chicks definitely don't dig big clunky watches either so they serve no purpose to be that oversized ...
I still wear all my G's though
@@BuffaloNickel9 i mean chicks dig big chunky watches if you have the arms to match them, but if not it just makes your small arms stand out even more.
@@ROrneli yes you are right!
Of all the gals I've seen asked, females do not like large flashy watches on men....
The ones you hang around maybe different but the models that were asked much prefer dress watches on men... matter of fact is pretty well-known women dislike oversized watches on men...
I would say the only exception is a man with an arm size to match
I'll Try to link a couple videos if i remember where I saw them... but it was a group of models in New York and some girls in Miami who were in these videos giving their answers on which watches they preferred men to wear...
What I noticed the most was women weren't really interested at all in men's watches
.... when they had to choose they chose the watches that were 40 mm and under...
Look I didn't write the rules I'm just telling you what I've seen of the women that were polled..
I wear a Rangeman a lot, but always wish it were a touch smaller...
Men have started wearing watches so big these days they are clown watches
a bigger watch will make your small arms stand out yeah i agree..
@@ROrneli I just read the rest of your comment..Yeah you mentioned something correct "if you have big arms to match the watch"
That's very important otherwise it looks like a clown watch.. I'll definitely agree there...
unfortunately many men are wearing them these days...
a clown watch is much bigger than a range man GW 9400 by the way I'm not referring to it... I think it fits my 7 inch wrist but it's the biggest I would go.. Cheers
Do not be tired
This video is amazing! Good job bro
Thanks Love your vids you are a True G!!! Thanks
You're welcome man!
Everything is precision design .. Protection for electronic parts .
Great video, thank you for making this!
I am wearing the gw 9400 right now
Thank you for this video :)
Terrific tool watch! I just bought the black version and I'm loving it. If it's 20bar the sensor should hold up well for shallow diving. I mean, it couldn't have got the 20bar certification if they hadn't tested it before, right?
Very interesting episode thanks 🥂
any tips on how to remove the solar panel (rectify fogging)? is it very easy to crack/broke?
I'm binge watching you take apart all my watches
Thank you!!!
GX56 next teardown please kinda curious of what the layers of protection is like
Amazing .
Thnks very good
Good vdo thank you.
It is the second time I own one exactly like it. Great watch! Thanks for explaining all the details of it. Please, is there a way to remove the sensor along with the module without having to disconnect it by just pushing into the watchcase instead of pushing it out? Thanks for a great tutorial!
I'm not sure, since I haven't tried doing so. Usually remove them separately is a lot easier actually considering the restrictive space in there. Also the sensor ribbon is really thin, I accidentally broke one in the past. So better safe than sorry.
amazing, I just bought one 10 days ago, good to see its ANATOMY
How's the watch?
Maximus 32 the watch can be described in few words : fully optioned + low price + dependable
@@Omar8156 U mean the watch is excellent ? As i'am also planning to get one .
Maximus 32 of course
I had two actually ,black one and this
@@Omar8156 thanks man... looking forward to getting one soon🙂
Hi Bro, so i believe there is no worries on the band to rip of from the Lug. As you said that the band is well design to fit it to it. I guest i will take this Rangeman instead of the Mudman 9300. From the country where i came from (Malaysia), the Mudman-9300 & G Shock King has fogging issues, might due to our humidity ratings. and this Rangeman is really pack with all functions. Thanks Man
I'm not sure you'll even see this comment, but how's the GW-9400 holding up?
I'm still not convinced it's worth buying, as the multiple posts I've seen about the lug issue online are not reassuring.
It'll be interesting to know, as you're someone who was aware of the issue and still bought one.
@@StardustLegacyFighter
You can just get an adapter and get around that issue completely
Very nice!
The main circuit board layout and the side where the main ic's are located looks very similar to the Casio Protrek PRW-3000 circuit board layout?
Nice bro
Excellent!! Please do GBD h1000 teardown video also✌️✌️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Dope !!!
A very interesting video. You learn a lot about the construction of a G-Shock. I also have a Rangeman and I am impressed.
I like the music! What's the song's name ?
Keep it up !
How hard is it to change the illumination button from the bright shiny stainless one to the black one. I just ordered the green band and the tiny fake black corner screws.
nothing without mudman! 💪🙂
Can you tell what's that black stuff that covers the sensor, I mean the one that looks like some kind of paste and is all over the O-ring and the sensor itself. I've just disassembled mine and was wondering if I can clean it? Thanks.
Hello friend! Another great and informative video coming from you! I am planning to swap the module of my olive green Rangeman(negative display) with my regular black (with positive display) I have a question that I like to ask you I hope you dont mind. Is it necessary to totally remove the sensor first (just like you did in 8:25) before removing the module?? Cant it just be pushed inside so we dont have to detach the sensor from it's connection?? Pls reply and advice me on what to do thank you in advance.
just curious, when are you going to make for the frogman 🤔
The glass on my rangeman is foggy. Is it okay to remove the back metal plate only and keep it in sunlight till the condensation goes away? Till where should dissassemble to place it in sunlight?
Till which minute on the video should I dissassemble?
I wonder if you can share the tips how to manage the sensor flex cable during assembly and disassembly. Many people said that it is very fragile, that's why i don't want to mod my rangeman yet, for now. 🤦🏻♂️
From my experience so far, it is pretty stiff but I understand the worries. If you follow the way I remove the parts then you should be okay.
Basically just be gentle and take your time during the process. Do not force it.
What's in the watch gw a1100-1a3
is the triple sensor more or less the same, the one with the compass? do you know where to buy these sensors? Are the sensors replaceable?
How do you do the AC reset on the gw9400?
Just got myself a used Rangeman but found that the compass is stuck at 240 plus/minus 2 degrees, tried the two point calibration but only got "ERR", removed the battery to "reset" the watch as well, but problem still there. I even tried to put a speaker magnet to "pull" the compass and managed to get it to about 310-320 degrees, but it would still go back to 240 degrees.
Where's the compass sensor? On the module?
Great Video sir...thank you for documenting this! QQ, If my goal is to just replace the polarised film to negative (black), would I still need to disconnect the white housing around the screen, or could I just do it without messing with that? I hope that makes sense...Thanks in advance for your help
Sounds possible but rather spend some time to remove the white frame first just to be safe.
After opening the o-ring of the triple sensor, I pressed it a few times, and then it keeps showing ERR. How do I get back to normal?
good
GW-9400 has the same lugs like GX-56 (king of G).Some say that the GW-9400's lugs are a weakness, while the GX-56 is recognized as one of the most durable watches
You're right! You could plug a GX56 band into a GW9400 model. I tried that. The lug on the king model is stronger maybe because it was also supported with the bottom cover. Great watch!
Great point...the GW9400 lugs are SOLID. Why people complain is because they just repeat bad information but never actually experience any problem...
@@gshockhighfashion quick question! The GW 9400 Rangeman has a band connection similar to the Gulfman 9100?
@@BuffaloNickel9 yes it's solid but in few
situations, if you wear in normal way it can be tough. The people complain because they didn't used in the right way ( tried to destroy it, like drive a car roll through it ) not every Gshock can do this test. Even some gshocks can do this test after that it will be a large damege
Wow it's a awesome watch! Actually I have one but sounds like a little rattle when I shake it, is that normal? Great video!
Very good video. : ) I came here to find out where the Solar Panel is inside the watch ? The one that recharges the Battery ?
9:45 The o-ring name comes from its circular cross-section, not its shape. :)
Tenho um igual ao que você descontou. O meu embaçou o visor sem motivo aparente. Acho que vou desmontar e tentar limpar. Se eu desmontar será que perde a proteção contra água?
Thank you for your video !! Very interesting for me ;) but if I can asking a question ? What do you think about the pressure in theme , she’s lost when you’re open this typical watch’s or is a fake this pressure for make working the watchmaking ??!! Thank you for you’re futur réponse...
Ok thank you for you’re video but not for answer , she’s inexistant....so have a good day.
is it possible to remove the solar panel? my watch is foggy, i want to clean behind it
Can i use it for normal diving? And how deep can we go without damaging the sensor?
Can i use rangeman while swimming?? And is it possible to use it as daily wear?
Will this same rangeman strap fit on the aw5700 (the watch from 20yrs ago? Have you ever tried it?
Very good video tutorial. Could u continue abit about dismantling the solar panel and glass. Mine is foggy, I think the fog is between solar panel and glass. cant find the video anywhere. Thanks.
I haven't done that yet as well. Sure, I'll give it a try first.
@@gshockhighfashion any update about cleaning the foggy glass ?
So this means that this Rangeman only has mud resistance on the sensor button ?
Thanks for this very well done video! Question: Where exactly is the part hidden that turns the digits yellowish on this model? The readability is not very good, so I would like to either change the polarizer to a clear one or find another background reflector. Just don't know where the colour is build in. Or is it the glass of the LCD itself that is tinted? I do like the negative display. But I know there is the GW-9400BJ-1JF which is very costly, but has just the right display for me (negative AND clear white digits). Thanks for any advice on how to modify it (if at all possible)!
Usually the colors comes
from the background reflector which was glued behind the back polarizer. Sometimes, it is polarizer itself. No way to tell unless you try to peel it off a bit from a corner and check the polarizer colors.
These polarizer is pretty easy to get. But just be careful not to scratch the glass or the connection segments.
change the entire screen, its like 15usd max :D
we need to put analog on the rangeman. lol. or the heartbeat one
Here is a question regarding the triple and Quad sensor. You mentioned at around 5:30 no diving due to moisture getting into the case. How does this design differ from the Quad sensor Gulfmaster that can dive? Is there a significant difference in the seal around the sensor on this watch and was it improved enough for the Gulfmaster Quad? Or is the Gulfmaster Quad also prone to leaking? Thank you for your videos! I am watching many as I decide what will be my next watch. Are you a fan of the ProTrek 7000 Series as compared to the Gulfmaster? Thank you for any insight.
No comment
I was so close to buying this seemingly perfect G-Shock, but I found out about the lug issues, and it's definitely not worth the hassle.
As with anything in life, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
This Rangeman seems like a watch engineered for functions over toughness and reliability.
No G-Shock should break that easily.
what lug issues?
@@squintygreeneyesit has plastic lugs, and too much pressure on ur watch can break them
@@cherchil oh, i installed metal lugs so i can use nylon or leather zulu straps so i guess i dont have to worry about that/didnt notice. the upgrade was only about 20$ for the lugs and u can get all kinds of zulu straps for 12-15$
@@squintygreeneyesI have bought this one & every time affried about the lug issue. Will you please describe your solution or replacement of metal lugs, so that I could do the same. Thanks in advance. Awaiting for your answer 👍
Interesting to see what is inside the Rangeman. I have one with positive display. Can you do similar video for G9000 Mismanagement? Or have you already done it?
I have done it before. But not entirely like I did here.
Quick question, do you think it will be easy to change the glass, mine has several scratches and I want to change it.
I already removed one on my gx-56, and end up braking the solar panel...
Any idea how I could do it without braking it the solar panel?
Cheers from Portugal
Ouch!. That gotta hurt the wallet.
Anyway, Casio add a black tape-like thing around the solar panel & glass assembly that holds tight. From my experience, the best way is to use a heat gun to melt the glue just enough that it got loose and the glass will be a bit flexible from the heat allowing it to be pressed out without breaking. Carefully, slowly and little by little at time.
Pretty much like how people open up smartphones for repair work these days except, very gently.
how to remove solar panel and mineral glass?
Where can i buy the baro sensor, i have a broken baro, its nod reading
By the battery compartment, I didn't quite hear what you called the silver spring. There are two gold ones, and a silver one (maybe audio spring?) I was changing the battery on mine and this spring came out. I tried to just lay it in there but it seems like it shouldn't be loose. How would I go about putting it in so it stays? Great detailed video.
Every beep spring has a 'tail' at one end. That side need to be pressed in. It'll hook somewhere and stays there.
@@gshockhighfashion thank you so much for the reply! I do see a 'tail' now. I will try and press it in. It's so small, I marvel at how these things are put together in the first place.
Hello, do you know were can I buy the positive LCD display? the negative is hard to see and I want to change it, I am in México but I can use internacional shipment
did you found it ? im thinking to change the polarising filter but im a bit afraid lol
Nice information. Whare did you get your tools from? Thank you. Scott
I got mine from Aliexpress at the time, Amazon have too these day
without the mask looks really good
maybe you can do it with new Gravitmaster GR-B100 ??
I lost one of the gold springs changing the battery’s where buy more gold springs
Hello. Does anyone know if I can buy the sensor for this watch? Mine says sensor error. I've already inspected it and two of the circuit tracks are broken. Does anyone know where I can buy this?
good day, where can we buy the tire cases for these watches, thanks
pacparts have original ones. If you can't get it there, use buyee:
bit.ly/buyee-gshockhighfashion
Buy any parts from japan, look through yahoo japan auction.
Hey man i see a GST B 100 in the back, can you do a tear-down video of that watch.? Also good job nice video
Oh I Surely will!
gshock highfashion waiting for it.
Tho I'm pretty sure you have knowledge in what you're doing, still scares me, wish I had the confidence too in doing this.
It s just screws
Great vid, but can I ask you something?
Are there any bezels that are compatible with DW6100?
Haven't tried using those but the thickness looks different. So maybe not compatible.
Trying to buy a new rangeman gw 9400 green but I guess the illumination light doesn’t work any idea on how to fix it?
Check the led connector on the board. Maybe some cleaning is enough but still, you'll need to disassemble it to inspect the circuit.
Definitely going to clean it thanks :)
2:00 Not so fast, dude! Just because it fits there doesn't mean reliable. Yes, it is the same design many of Gs have.
But just compare the case of Rangerman and Mudman. Those little plastic parts connected to the case, where the belt is mounted, are longer and thinner for Rangerman. The belt acts like a crowbar pulling the screws that twist the plastic they are attached.
It is the same bad design that is more accentuated for Rangerman. And so many complains about it weight more than any demonstration of watch guys.
Wait where's the speaker you say in the beginning it's on the back panel?
I think it's just for the beeps. It's only able to make a few similar tones though. I'm not sure
Dude watch your finger at 13:52 there's a small spring wandering. I personally don't like the negative display version of the rangeman. I tried it out and I could barely see it. I got a DW6900 LU3 with negative display and it looks just fine. Casio must improve that display on the rangeman being on a higher price range is just wrong imo.
do you know the place to buy a casio like this in green ? , thanks.
Normally I would check on Yahoo Japan Auction, these models are quite hard to find these day especially in brand new condition.
hi man
thanks for the video.
I have the black edition which have the same reversed lcd like yours . do you think that would be hard to change the polarising filter on them to make them normal? I found them hard to read
I haven't tried it myself, but I'd seen other people done it. It is possible.
Every G-Shock uses the same polarizer film, so if you can swap it on other G-Shock, you can swap on this Rangeman as well.
I would like to try out the gw9400 case to put this gwg1000 frame. The fake items are so good, so I want to try to put the genuine stuff to be pretty. Which the cat does not have Mudresist features as well Put it in the frame. Gwg1000 should have a Mudresist as well. Because of the original gwg1000 Mudresist already offended
Hey there Mate!
I really need your help on this. My Rangeman's Mineral glass has a deep pitting/crack in the exact centre of the screen. I dropped it while checking the altitude and it fell right on top of a rock. I need to replace the glass. Can only the glass be changed or do I need to replace the entire module?
Please help. I am not getting any proper guidance regarding the same from the service centres here in India.
It's not easy but a professional watch servicer may be able to press a new glass into it
I have a gw 7900b with a dead battery it takes a ctl 1616 rechargeble battery. Is it possible to put in a cr1616 if i dont care about it recharging.
No problem, that'll work just fine. I did that all the time.
I think most Rangeman owners are going to want to know what the module looks like. In the UK I see the Rangeman at same price as the Protrek 2500 and I don't know which is a better all round purchase .....
The Protrek has some good features too. They even use the same sensors.
The difference is that it has a sleeker appearance and different interface. It is weaker in term of protection and water resistant too when compared to G-Shock.
@@gshockhighfashion Thanks GHF, you've given me an idea to look at these models on the used market. I was thinking what better way to get a triple sensor as a 'beater watch', than one in a used condition. Thanks also for the info on the sensors, I didn't know they used the same one,
@@freeatlast1963 I'm afraid that information is wrong. I own the Protrek 2500 and it uses the 2nd. version of the sensors. The most visible difference is the altimeter accuracy of 5 meters. The Rangeman uses the version 3, which is smaller, more power efficient and you can see the altimeter with 1 meter accuracy.
Hi I replaced battery on my gw9400 and it says OPEN on display, how I can fix that? Please let me know, thank you
where did you get those set of tools you're using?
Any smartphone repair tools would do the job
I just bought a new Rangeman and from the code on the back I see it was made in 2011. I was thinking about putting a new battery in it just to have it fresh...any thoughts?
No
Is the barometric sensor prone to malfunctions? I have en ERR message from barometer and altimeter and don’t know how to reset it... So I wonder if it’s broken or something
Thanks!
Mine stoped working also.
