- A trio of GW delight... are you wondering what the differences are between the Rangeman GW-9300, the Mudman G(W)-9300 and lastly the Riseman GW-9200?...
Just to add that the Mudman used in this review is the G-9300 which the only difference is, the GW-9300 has Multi-band 6 and a carbon in the strap
This video will show you all their functions including their quirks so you’ll have the best understanding and experience of how they compare to each other.
And yes, the brightness was glowing on my finger tips, so instead of having a hissy fit, just lower the brightness your end and save those angry lines... cheers :)

My Mudmaster and Rangeman really enjoyed this video.❤❤❤❤
U saved a lot of my time by making these time stamps in the video. Thanks a lot for your effort.
Very welcome by friend... cheers :))
I have the GW-9400 Rangeman and IMHO its the best digital display G-Shock ever made. It has all the sensors that we need (except the depth gauge) and it looks so damn good. It also pave the way for me know/befriend my good buddy Mr, Rangeman.. Cheers to you Buddy!!!
I bought my GW-9400 from the reviews from TimeToGo and Watch Geek... I traded in a ProTrek for it... best all round G-Shock, and the easiest to use... love the ABC single button, and how it remembers the last sensor you used :)
It's great to build a friendship from afar... cheers for your support from both channels :))
Best weekend!
@Spikey Scenes Just seen your comment, how bad is that LML ;-P
I had the same as you 2500, and it was the REC side of that ProTrek that I wasn't fully happy with, it just looked too complicated to read quickly, while the GW-9400 does this with ease on the eye ;)
Fantastic review. Thank you for all your effort.
Thank you my friend... have a grand weekend :)
I like how all of these watches look very well loved and enjoyed. I also never heard of a Riseman. That just tells you how new I am to a G world. Cheers!
We are always learning so don't feel left behind.... get a Riseman before they become really hard to find... these will become a real collectors piece in say 25yrs LML :-P
Have a great weekend my good friend :)
YES! Thank you so much for the re-upload! I was waiting for this! Awesome! Btw I saw this video before your channel was shutdown and it made me want all three. And I'm happy to let you know that I've achieved that goal. 😀
Cheers for the continuous support my friend :)) Hopefully by not covering anything that's funny toward BOLEX the channel should be here for always :))
So cool to see all 3 together. You can tell they all belong in the same family. They remind of different levels of evolution of a Pokémon 🤣
That's brilliant, I like that :))
Thank you...most helpful video...cheers!
So welcome my friend... cheers for the feedback :)
I've been wearing the Riseman everyday since 2009. Never had to change the battery since! Oldest but prettiest of the 3 :D
I'm thinking to flip mine :( but it keeps me from doing it, and I can't understand why... think it's because it's slender, vintage looking and has a unique shape and build... the Barometer is great and the fact it's solar and MB6 is the trick as it looks too old to have that inside.... I don't wear it very much at all, and it's not old enough to sit with the DW-5000c and those older G's.... I know I will see it one someones wrist and go all slush and keep it LML :-P
It is the nicest to look at of the three I agree :)
I remember this video Mr Rangeman! Keep em coming!
I'm glad I had this one saved... not many more of the old ones left... need to get busy, as I have many ideas and watches to show... and some pointless tests... have a grand weekend our friend :)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Are you still going to review your new camera? It makes my day when you post a video Mr Rangeman. You have a great weekend!
@@Mark-P I have so many videos inline to make, and with a house full of bodies it's not easy getting peace... usually the day is quite and I can nail a few videos at once... then edit over the week or so... but I've been out on walks and hikes and become lazy that side... but I've been posting on the community page on the channel... I had a few trips to CH planned as well, which has gone to toot... will review my behind the camera video when the channel builds up a little more, don't want to worry them with my pin hole camera LAL :-P
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Well good luck Mr Rangeman
Ingenious. And interesting results
I guess my test is a first still... the Rangeman has the nicer push, but in those tight spots the Mudman is my go to :)
Binge-ing the back catalogue!
This is the king of videos. Very entertaining, thanks. After careful study my personal opinion is that for price vs feature the Rangeman 9400 has all of the G-Shocks beat. But yet I continue to buy more Casio watches. Now I'm on a Square kick.
No rangegirl, no mudgirl, no risegirl. Omg what are we to do. I love it. We dont need this nonsense in every aspect of our lives. I think i would vomit if casio came out with a rangegirl.
My friend, I must thank you for being down to earth and not wrapped with all these invented issues we don't need "GirlMade' is not happening, it's just a word to say it's made by hand, and back in the days when ladies were escorted and handkerchiefs laid down on a dirty benches, they didn't complain then when the men hammered horse shoes, and now claim to make a change, for what reason?? If you're that way of thinking then you have an issue, to us that just get on with it, aren't making conversations exhausting... damn, being PC isn't me, I'm just how I am and no fluff from me...those who know me, know I'm a good guy, and I don't need to wrap words like 'Black' in a concrete tower... the Rangeman GW-9400 is an iconic G-Shock, for the money it's brilliant... to me it's a Master of G :))
Have the Casio 9300 and 9400 both solar , love it added the wire protection looks more tough / more character ... got the gwg 100 and gwg 1000 the best Casio master of g Looking forward to the frogman and gravitymaster and gulf master
Buddy... you have got the G-Shock addiction... the last three I have :))
Great Job..!! I enjoyed the video..!!👍 I don't have a riseman, but I do have the other 3.. But I'm thinking on pulling the trigger on the newer Casio, the gwg- b1000 Mudmaster.. Thank You and God Bless..!!
Always a wealth of knowledge, thanks man.
Cheers buddy... experience is more important... how is your channel going... still can't make out what your profile picture is?? I've seen you've posted a few more videos, so will have a look over the weekend... cheers to our channels hey :))
The Riseman is still my number one hiking watch. It's a little smaller and fits my slender wrists better than the others.
Great video!!!
I like the Carbon Fiber strap ,but the original resin strap is still pretty durable. I worn mine every workday for seven years and although the crystal has scratches and bezel its beat up , the strap it still going strong.
The resin straps are good, but the carbon insert just keeps the strap from over stretching and breaking near the points of abuse.
Which G-Shock are you referring to my friend?
Cheers :))
Los 3 son fantasticos,yo tengo el g-9400 y el mudman g-9000 y estoi encantados con los dos
GW-9300Japan version is my big Love. Dont need more. But all of them are good.
I think everyone should buy all three models, they´re great watches :)
I've since flipped my GW-9200 to someone who just wanted it so bad, but the GW-9400 and 9300 is still firm in my collection... the 9300 bezel in my opinion is the best :))
Please add a gulfman gw 9110 in this comparison. Great video by the way ❤️👍🙏
Cheers buddy... Well the Gulfman is focused upon the Tide/Moon side, thus has no sensor, so was only doing these three as they offer the sensor side from either 2 or 3.
The 9110 is a model I like, mostly as it has a brilliant module and is in titanium so not sea water can dissolve it :))
informative 👍👍👍, greeting from Indonesia
Cheers bud... glad you found it useful :))
Hi! I just came across your video today after i bought my first G-Shock watch. I was just wondering where did you buy the strap with the carbon fibre for the Rangeman. Thank you!
Hello I have the wave scepter app on my iPhone. do you know how to initiate a manual receive with the riseman.?
my riseman is so cool, it's now on nato straps!
Mudman for me 😎
The Mudman is an excellent beater for me, and love how compact it is, and with those buttons, doesn't get accidentally pressed in those tight spaces... cheers buddy :)
Great video my friend mudman always caught my eye but don’t see them in the uk (Glasgow) much only online in Europe looking to add one to my collection 🇬🇧
When I realized the front screws on the rangeman were fake, stopped using it. Feels cheap now since they’re designed to look real. Same with the mudmaster, although I understand in that case they may be for added protection as well.
My new GW-9400-1CR Rangeman arrives today!!
@@PEAT_LAND Very. The watch is virtually indestructible. I wear it every day and I'm very hard on it due to banging my hands and wrists on desks and things. That's why I picked gshock. I'll never own any other watch. Though I would fkn kill for a MRGBF1000R1A Frogman lol but that won't happen either lol
Rangman hands down. A beast of a timepiece. With a NATO strap.
I agree, and it was the first ABC G-Shock, so has a solid place in the G-Shock charts... just be careful that aftermarket lug adaptors, can make it weaker, so would be interesting which ones you've used?
Does using the Nato, make the Rangeman top heavy?
Wonder if Casio will re-release the Rangeman like this exact model. Would buy one in a flash
Great video. Very thorough and enjoyable. Ordered the Mudman and it should arrive anyday now. Can't wait! About the straps? Are they interchangeable, same size? Can the carbon fiber with the double loops fit the Mudman? If so, I will be getting it🙂 Awesome video one again and new subscriber here. Hello from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦. ⌚👋😃
The Rangeman strap won't fit.
I chose and bought all 3 models!
WOW! Now what's your thoughts on the Riseman GW-9200? To me it's like it's more from the 90's but has the twist of the solar and MB6... the Altimeter log is great, not seen one with a timer before???
Cheers for sharing and enjoy the boys :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I love my Riseman!! It's a classic but still can hold it's own against the modern Master of G G-SHOCK's collection!
@@3000spills It’s also a very compact line of G-Shock... becoming a classic slowly and I’m sure will be collectible in 10yrs if earlier.
I like the formfactor of the Riseman. It's way more compact so I would probably go with that one- Just can't find it lol The other ones are just too damn big for a daily beater type watch. These belong in the forests and mountains
Could you tell if the mudman has aluminum in the bezel ? It says that on the casio specifications while all others are stainless steel , aluminum is lighter but not as strong as stainless steel aluminum vs stainless steel ? Thoughts ?
There is actually a mudman with multiband 6, that would've been cooler to compare with that one its called GW-9300-1JF Solar Radio
Apparently it's from Japan only ? Apparently here in the USA they only sell the world time mudman 9300
I got the mudmaster ggb100 from watching ur videos and it’s awesome but I only wish that it would have solar as I get tensed while using its functions.
So I came here to decide which one to go with
My friend... use the GG-B100 without worry... in fact you could abuse it over two weeks I'm sure using the compass without seeing the LOW on the display. Really easy battery replacement too... the Bluetooth uses so little energy, it has a really fast module which again uses less energy... if you bought the GW-9400 say, then combine their strengths I'd say. The GG-B100 has a really good barometer, the compass uses the second hand to point to north, plus the backlight is a torch... don't be afraid to use it, the battery will last longer than you think.
Wow thanks a lot mate . I didn’t know about this and I was scared that I would run out of battery .
@@Rivals-jo4ns It will run out of battery, but not in a few days... just use it and not worry... it's just an easy battery replacement, really easy :)))
Is it possible to set an specific day or month for the alarms in these watches, like you can do in the Mudman G-9000?
In the main screen you can see what of the 4 alarms is set, like you can see in the G-9000 (again)?
Thank!!
Unfortunately these don't have the adjustment for a particular date, they're all daily alarms... even my DW-5600c has this option, and why it's not included throughout I have no idea... the G-9000 is very similar to my GLX-5600, as that has the date option in the alarms, but that has the twist with the tide and moon, so a very practical all rounder... the most modern of G-Shocks with something like that, is the GW-B5600, which isn't as such as an alarm, but a reminder which can be set for any date in the future, would've been great if it was acting like an alarm, backed with ((VIBE)) but CASIO don't listen enough I feel these days, more about cosmetic adjustments more than anything... maybe pester the MR-G department as they seem to be more risk taking :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman it seems something easy to add, but... Aaah, we don't know how these new models don't have this function.
Thanks for your answers.
I prefer the Mudman over the Rangeman and that's why I own one now. The compass display is more legible as it doesn't have those lines blocking it and it's built as a more tough watch due to the focus on mud resistance. Yes the buttons are hard to press, but not as hard as the older Mudmans. It has all the features I need as well with nothing over the top and that's what attracted me towards it. I found the tide graph Casio's to be useless as you have to update the high tide times frequently for it to be accurate and I'm not a surfer so that would do. The moon phase is a useful feature for me and it is very accurate when I compare it with the lunar calendar.
I have heard problems with the Rangeman regards to the lugs as the break off when the watch is used roughly. Though, I have yet to see that myself. I also find the display small to use the compass sensor properly as well as seeing the remaining hours of the day in the sunrise and sunset mode.
A little wrong on the first "Man" watch. It was actually the Frogman DW6300. The sensor on the left side of the Mudman is the bearing sensor and it has a 1,000 hour stopwatch. Also, did you know that the Riseman was the first G-Shock to have MB6? You might want to mention that next time 😜 cheers.
Hey buddy... I would agree, the Mudman is that little more solid built, and the compass kills the GW-9400 because it's clearer without those lines! I was thinking more of the land series of the 'Men' than the Frogman's, and to me, the Frogs are really in their own department with early ones having no sensors, so it was more that way of thinking with the Man's :))
I forgot it was the first G-Shock with Atomic, and I would've mentioned that for sure... I have flipped my GW-9200 Riseman and the GWX-56 is also gone, I have now 7 G-Shocks I use more frequently... but the GG-B100 is still the one I use the most often :-P I've kind of gone off the GW-9400 now, as the GG-B100 just does it better... but the GW-9400 is still a great watch, probably one of the best ABC G-Shocks when getting more serious into them... I hear lugs breaking, now, this isn't to do with those silly jaysandkays adaptors??? I'm brutal with mine, and never had lug issues, I feel the user is at fault, maybe over tightening the strap screws??? but feel adaptors could be the real reason, and G-Shock ain't having any of it???
The Mudman could be the toughest G-Shock, and I like the buttons being hard to press, at least it's not beeping in every tight space LML ;_P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman the first Man watch in the land series was the Mudman DW-8400. I agree with you about passing on the watches to someone else who'd use them instead of letting them collect dust. Didn't know you'd love the B100 so much but I agree. The sensor features are more usable on that one compared to the 9400.
If you still have the 9300 Mudman, a mud resistance test is in order between that and the Mudmaster to see which one can survive the elements better. I think that would be a fun video.
I don't find the buttons too hard to press. They are easier to press compared to the 9000 Mudman and the battery change is a pain on that watch as you have to take the straps and the housing off to do so which takes a lot of time and effort.
@@traviswalker8933 The idea of those protective plates over the buttons on the G-9300 Mudman, would be to prevent button presses more than dirt... when I remove the bezel and all the other trimmings, it's usually quite full of dirt, so to me, it's better to have the buttons more exposed, thus the dirt can at least escape.
with regards to testing, the GWG-1000 would be better, mainly because it has more grip on the buttons, the G-9300 does offer more resistance to button presses, thus better in more confined places like pot holing, but can't say I know anyone who wears a watch for that... but with mud covering, there isn't anything to define them... maybe having sapphire would keep scratches being less obvious, but to be honest, I've not experienced marks on mineral crystal when in the dirt.
The crown on the GWG-1000 would be something I wouldn't want to use in Mud, think testing that would just be a ruin to the shaft on the Mudmaster, so thus why I use the GG-B100 the most :))
I haven't really worn the GWG-1000 much, just have it as they are going up in value, so would be annoyed if I wanted it again only to see they cost £900 instead of £350... overlays mine is worth more as it has some of my DNA on it LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman the GWG-1000 retailed for $800 so it's been fluctuating in price. It's interesting to note that there was dirt inside housing of the 9300 as the membrane was to prevent dust and mud from getting inside per Casio. Accidental button presses will be prevented even if the 9300 did not have the protective membrane due to the case design. Well, you learn something new everyday.
@@traviswalker8933 The GWG-1000 is sitting around the £350 - £400 for the olive green version like mine here in the UK, and the Tiger King version seems to be the cheapest floating around £300 :-P
I must add with the G-9300, the dirt was very fine where the buttons are, and you'll find on any G-Shock with a bezel, it'll have some kind of residue inside... the beach is the worse with sand, that just gets everywhere as we know LML :-P
2:24 Did you know the name of that cat is Claude? Claude the Casio cat. 😉🤭 I have always liked the etched logos. Be it cats, moles and or toads. I had an imitation "P-Shock" many years ago and I fondly remember the back plate having a dolphin as a logo. Granted the movement was very cheap and back plate looked screw, but actually was pop. I loved that dolphin.... 😍😁
I've been given a poop watch by my Mum... she got it free from a magazine... I've had to replace the battery... then I wanted to rip into this watch, but everything I try to find bad is annoyingly working, then it goes and does more than I thought making it a terrible watch at being poop... it's for fun, but will video that and share :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman As they say, my friend, poop is poop. What magazine was it from?

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman ah! The famous postman scenario. Or was it the milkman? 🤭 Then again we used to get fresh milk delivered to our house daily when kids and not once did we receive any gifts apart from ants drowned in cream. 🤢😄 I will take a photograph of a cheesy desktop watch that was offered as a free gift to people subscribing to Reader's Digest many years ago and upload to Instagram later tonight. I found advert in an old Home Repair catalogue. Those catalogues one would "build" over a period of a few weeks to months to years! 👴🏻
Have 3 Rangeman models, green, black & gprb1000 amongst other G Shocks, still prefer my JDM gw9300 ❤
Which Black version do you have, is it the Blackout or the Panther?
I've noticed the prices increase on the GW-9400's especially on the secondary market, so your JDM is one good investment at the moment.
Cheers for sharing my friend ;)
How do you put the sensor washer on Riseman? I don't know which way it should be.
I'm sure the silicon gasket has the ridges facing outwards sitting on the stainless cover?... I can't remember it so much now... my advice is to look closely how the parts sit, if you have to apply force then something isn't correct... the main stainless cover has the widest part against the sensor, and that gasket I'm sure was with the ribs outwards away from the sensor?? There is a flat spot on the inside edge of the gasket with an opening at the bottom, think it can only go one way??
Just to ask, did you also remove the two screws on the sensor?
Great collection, mate! I have the Desert Camo version of the Rangeman. I think the Rangeman is the best digital G-Shock.
I made a Mad Max G-Shock video, think you'll like that :) Cheers for the comment my friend, and the GW-9400 is one of those G-Shocks that is still in great demand :))
I have both and DW5610 is the best. Rangeman looks like kids sports watch
@@drk9148Those little square G-Shocks look like a postage stamp on my 8.5 inch wrist. I sold my Rangeman and bought the GW-6900. It fits much better
@@MadMaxx1977 simplicity is key. 6900 is just too common. Good for average dude
@@drk9148 Simplicity is key, but the 6900 is "too common." You contradict yourself. There's nothing special about the DW5610. It doesn't even have tough solar or atomic time. It's got a few pretty colored bezels. Oh goody! The Rangeman and GW6900 are in high demand for military, law enforcement, and first responder use. I'll take them over your pretty kids sports watch.

Great comparo vid. IMO Casio has screwed up big on the 9300's deployment. Should've included the GW variant for the export market even without the carbon fiber-backed band. Also should've included the frontal light button config such that the RHS buttons can retain the two-way forward/reverse adjustment functionality. Meanwhile retention of double-pinned clasp design would've been nice as well......
Have been wearing the G-9000 as my daily runner and only started to look into the 9300 (as a replacement) fearing that the 9000 would be discontinued. Turns out this is just not the case yet...
The 9400 OTOH has also been on my wishlist. But the price, the actual sensor usage, and the uneven LED backlighting performance have made me steer away......
Meanwhile I don't see a future with the Riseman where the 9200 was a 2008-09 model and has no direct successor whatsoever......
So as long as the basic-colored G-9000 is still available I'll continue to purchase it as replacement to any previous 9000s that may have reached EOL......
Brilliant comment... funny you wrote that, as I'm just about to post a video on a new G-Shock, so new that CASIO need to make it, so will need much support in the comment section and to be shared so CASIO listen to us, as I agree, CASIO are really close, but in the real world fall short????
I flipped my GW-9200 as I have the GG-B100... the G-9300 is a brilliant design, and central backlight buttons is a must!
Cheers again :)
Hello. I have a question. I have my Riseman for many years now, and since some days i have a new Rangeman. I like both watches very much, but i'm confused about one thing. Why is there so a big difference between the barometer of the Riseman and the barometer of the Rangeman? If it is a precision sensor, wouldn't both watches show the same level of hpa? I thought, maybe one sensor is working not correct, but then i watched your video, and i saw, that your Riseman and Rangeman also have different levels of hpa. Do you know the reason for it? Is that normal for g-shocks?
Hey buddy... try adjusting them both at the same value and see how they compare after a week say... I feel the sensor on the Riseman is more true, but it's only by two digits. Now air pressure isn't effected by the build of the watch, so it's down to the sensor. The barometer sensors aren't that complex, it's really between two objects moving really... I find that all my Barometer watches are differing, but only by a few numbers.
If you calibrate it against the Rangeman and let me know how they compare say from a week today and I'll do the same :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman You are right. Thank you for the good idea, but i think, for the moment i will let them at the factory settings. At the end the barometer graphics are very very similar on both watches. So they work, and i can see the weather change good enough. That's more important than the number of hpa, i agree. Thanks for the answer. You have cool watches and crazy videos. I totally like them. 👍

What is your opinion on the gigantic G-Shock movement in terms of watch size? they've Exceeded the point of being so big they are unwearable IMO!
I have a 7 inch wrist and my range man GW 9400 is as big as I could possibly go, almost too big. I can't imagine the GBD 1000.
the thing is I've watched a lot of G-Shock videos where they disassemble the Range man 9400 and mention that the watch could easily fit all the components inside in a much smaller package but they choose to make the watch super large...
To me it's getting to a point where it's just absolutely silly! you could shave 30% off the new Rangeman gbd 1000 and I still wouldn't wear due to its clown size...
By the way I own all watches depicted in this video and they are all great as well as the video.. I would say I wear the Range man and the mud man the most
I feel if a new Rangeman does happen, that it should be more sized to suit more wrist sizes, and I agree, it's a big dinner plate, even for my 7.5 wrist. I watched gshock highfashion take his apart, and there was a lot of case, but also there's a lot of solar surface, so feel the size was upon that side, as the solar really does make a big difference. I feel the size has placed many off heading towards the Garmin Instinct, and can't blame them, but those who own the GPR-B1000 have really bonded with it, and despite the size forgive it as it's a beast on power reserve.
I've since flipped my GW-9200 Riseman as I bought the GG-B100 Mudmaster and a few others... it's kind of replaced my GW-9400 too, mainly because it offers more, and the time can be viewed in very low lighting... it's one of the most comfortable G-Shocks I own too.
The G-9300 Mudman is my full on beater watch, mainly because it's compact and doesn't catch on anything, plus the pushers don't get knocked easily when in those tight spaces like working on a motorcycle engine :)
Sometimes G-Shock just like to test what collectors are looking for, and when the GX-56 The King came out, this was at the time the biggest G-Shock, and oddly had the most tiniest of modules that was just buried in the watch, but has proven to be a hit, so if it's not for you, then for another who is looking for that something bigger.
I've not heard anything with regards to a Gen 3 Rangeman, but if they do, then it'll have to be something that's sized like a Mudman!
I just bought 9300, gonna watch it after office hour...
A friend told me about the G-9300... now I did go crazy and buy the camouflage editions, but sold them and stayed with the G-9300 without MB6... I thought it was too similar to the GW-9400, but it's actually more fitting, as the case has no lumpy parts, plus when in those tight places, the buttons don't get pushed so easily. I really like it, and yeah, the buttons aren't easy, but it's for a reason :) Which model did you get?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I decided to get the 9300 with positive screen since I mostly go to work with motorcycle until night making the negative screen hardly readable. At first I wanted to take the 9400 but it looks like its too big and won’t fit nicely in my hand. The only thing that bugs me is the 9300 takes too long to recharge the battery from M to H. However, all the other fractures work perfectly. Nice channel, subscribed 👍🏻
@@rizkipujigustian3775 The negative version I has was more for show, as in any low lighting it was really useless, and needed the backlight on LT.
Really comfy watch, but I've added a second keeper to stop the tongue from exposing too much, but I do have the resin version of the strap, and not with the carbon insert. The solar batteries take their time to charge fully, so don't worry too much, but you can turn off the MB6 if you have that version just to help maintain more battery reserve. The GW9400 isn't that much bigger, it looks bigger because of the lumps on the bezel, the 9300 feels thicker, but I like the cover over the stainless back, keeps the wrist cooler :)
Thanks again my friend :)
can i put the gw9400 sensor on the g9300?
I haven't tried, but this will be what sensor exactly? As the only one that might work would be the barometric side... the compass is on the circuit board... you prefer the case design on the G-9400???
Me and my GWX5700 watching this video 😎
please make instinct solar vs gshock comparison video,would-be interesti g
Hey buddy... I made a few videos with testing them out together... here's one of the videos, the rest found in my playlist... cheers :)

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman many thanks from Azerbaijan.gave my rangeman 9400 to my son and cannot decide to get another gchock(or protrek) either go with instinct solar.Your videos are replacing any owners manual))and vary like your English humour!
@@alia.6456 Cheers buddy, you really help with me making more videos, it's a boost for sure :))
Question, what are you wanting the most from your next watch??
Cheers buddy :)
For me, the Mudman would be better and perfect for me just with the separate extra Light button in the center, with the double lines of holes strap and the flash alert.
Althoug I still prefer the 9300 overall.
I have to admit, the build and design of the 9300 is perfect for those times when you don't need excessive amounts of bezel edges that catch, and with those protective buttons, means I'm not clanging the buttons in tight spaces... I was recommended it a little while ago, and wasn't sure, but now I understand why they like it so much... the GW-9400 needs a bezel like it, as that isn't as compact, it's more like Darth Vaders helmet design :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman yeeeah. That's a good point :)
I haven't worn my riseman in months
I've flipped my Riseman because of my GG-B100 took over... flipped 5 G-Shocks in total because of it. Some think the GW-9200 is worth hundreds (unless a rare model) and keep them for an investment, well at this moment, it's going to take a while longer before that happens. The Riseman is a nice watch, but as with all older G-Shocks with sensors, they start to feel the age over the faster modern sensors, and is that enough to keep hold of it?? The Riseman is a slim G-Shock, does have some nice features, and includes the MB6 side... it looks older than it is, and that's the side that attracted me, also it looks nice. I enjoyed it, used it lightly, but wasn't one of those G-Shocks that I would miss if I didn't have it. I think it's the only G-Shock which has that Altitude recording side???
What are your thoughts my friend, why haven't you worn it???
Cheers :)
Sold the riseman now have blacked out rangeman, best ever in my opinion
Now that's really interesting, as I've sold my Riseman and am pondering on the GW-9400 Blackout LML :-P
I've heard mix feelings with the negative display, what are your thoughts?
Cheers :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman it definitely is hard to see at times but that is probably the only issue I can think of, I would still not choose the positive display
@@npc-sd7hk Cheers for your answer... I really like the look of the blackout version... StromRider did a great review on his, and likes the positive display too... thanks again :)
What is the difference in thermometers between the Range and Mudman?
Probably the Mudman is a little more precise, but to be honest it's not taking temperatures that requires such tolerance... for reading room temperatures, outdoors or maybe a vivarium it's plenty good enough ;)
If you want water temperature then the GWF-D1000 Frogman is the best in the game ;)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I find the Mud stays steady more but the Range is more sensitive.
@@davidjoseph921 The Rangeman uses the back case, and the Mudman with a sensor at the front I believe... or is that the Riseman? Place them in the freezer and see what their readings are, it's be more stable with this experimental side as opposed to outside with air movement.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Would you even recommend the Riseman if one already has a Mudman and Rangeman?
@@davidjoseph921 If you find one in good solid condition which means the silver sensor label is present on the left side, then yes. It's really compact which will surprise you, but it's the design and how those battles either end sit... such a lovely watch and it looks vintage, but has solar and is MB6. It's one of those G-Shocks that will become more collectable too... needs a little more time before they become sought after. If you're used to bigger G-Shocks it might alarm you with just how thin it is, but a nice one to have between the Rangeman and Mudman, it's where it sits in my case. I was thinking of selling it, but it's one of those G-Shocks that once gone it'll cost more to replace. You can still get the straps, and the bezel can be found, but they don't have the silver sensor label on them oddly? A good price would be £100 but £130 would be my top price which needs to be in great condition. I got mine very cheap, but that's what I doz I just wait for that one to come along as I have patience.
El Rangeman es mejor reloj...
Tiene la protección del Mudman y más sensores.
El Rangeman tiene el lado del sensor triple, y técnicamente es resistente al barro ... el Mudman está hecho para esos espacios realmente desordenados y estrechos, por lo que los botones no se presionan accidentalmente.
Gran número de seguidores para ambos, pero el diseño del Mudman es más compacto con bordes menos rectos.
El Rangeman es un G-Shock muy icónico, ¡y no puedo decir que haya escuchado a nadie que no le guste!
Salud :)
I was confused if I should go with the mudmaster gwg or this rangeman gw9400.
Things I need in a watch:
1) solar
2)triple sensors (abc)
3)with positive display
So which one should I be going with ? Pls tell me because my birthday is coming soon and I want to buy one of these 2 watches
Hey buddy...
Positive display is only with the GW-9400, the GWG's are all negative displays.
The GW-9400 is without doubt a solid choice, it offers all you need with some nice quirks within the module. Only down side, if you like the compass to show a bigger north bearing, then that will be on the smaller side as it uses the sub-dial.
There is also the price difference too, the GW-9400 is bang for buck, but they are creeping up in price.
Do you like all digital, or do you like the ani-digital the most? Analog is excellent in low lighting, and the second hand is used in the compass, plus it's used as a difference indicator.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman hey buddy thanks for advising me . I thought the gwg 1000 mudmaster had a positive display so i was confused if I would go with mudmaster or rangeman. Negative display is a huge downside for me because they are nearly impossible to read in dark areas. I’m really excited to get the rangeman .
U r right the prices are going high and I’ll have to wait for them to go down but can you tell me the actual rangeman price so when the price comes near it , I’ll buy it soon
@@Rivals-jo4ns There is a handful of negative displays that work really well in low lighting, and the GWN-Q1000 Gulfmaster is good, the GD350 is really good, but the GPR-B1000 is just brilliant, could say it's better :-P
Looking forward to when you get it, and of course HaPpY Birthday more importantly :)))
@@Rivals-jo4ns The GW-9400 when it first came out was quite expensive, it's really classed as a Master of G, look at the back case, that's really more towards the Master side... but on the twist the prices really dropped about 3yrs ago, and in one shot they were selling them for £99... sold out pretty quickly, but now they seem to be around the £200-250 for the basic model, and increase depending if you want one of the more colourful variants.
I've seen the best prices from the USA, Uk is very expensive and it doesn't look like they're going down anytime soon.
Maybe worth holding back, or maybe find a perfect pre-loved one??? then you'll have some money towards a nice Birthday meal out :))
WTF 1h 09 ??? i need just a fast colclusion ! What is the best ?
it would be nice to have battery meters even on non solar watches.....are you listening casio...
YOU are the ONLY ONE that has the NONE multiband 6 mudman 8-/ 8->
Im just missing the riseman
said the Wiseman :))
Buddy, just sold my Riseman, as I bought the GG-B100 Mudmaster... great watch and enjoyed the times with it, but like to rotate my regular G-Shock's and the GG-B100 just offers a side I need more... I use my G-Shock's as intended, and they all need to offer something different... I only collect the vintage G-Shocks, and I guess one day the Riseman will be in that place... prices have quietened down and you're looking at £130 for a nice condition GW-9200... just make sure the silver sensor label is present when looking at the black version, as I've seen some with it missing, and this means the bezel has been replaced.
Cheers

Not heard that one before... Clarkson is the top favourite... well I was the Stig, but hush about that please ;-P
Top Gear inflections. Drives me mad when every single sentence goes up and down like that
I spend more time searching than watching. It’s will quickly be not worth it if they do this to our family.
