    I used the record to record the time and date my daughter was born. I then took a pic of the recorded time and printed a picture and framed it. I hung it in my office.

    The record time is useful for me as a security guard. When I respond to an incident I can record the time I arrived, EMT and police arrival, departure and scene clear and then pull it up when writing my incident report. Allows me to keep my hands free which is a huge benefit.

    OMG so here I am again... Just bought THIS one and watching yet ANOTHER tutorial. I LOVE this watch. It literally has EVERYTHING that I would use and want in a outdoor piece. I just bought the GW7900-1 but I really have no use for the tidal/moon features AND the 94 is triple, solar AND atomic. The ONLY other feature that one could think of is location tracking in bluetooth. Not for me. I just want a stand alone "survival" piece and this fits perfectly. I tried not to spend the other hundred but it's too much of a bargain for the rangeman. The new one is really cool but HUGE. Once it's shrunken down a little I'd definitely go for it. The display is crazy nice too but the 9400 is rugged, practical AND beautiful in its design (to me). Thanks again and may your creator bless you richly. There's only ONE you.

    Hey, I would like to point something that is missing from this greatest tutorial about Rangeman ever existed :). I watched both of them, part 1 and part 2 and I think something is worth mentioning about that auto time calibration Multi Band 6. In the manual it's specifically said that if "Power Saving" setting is ON, then the Receive Operation is disabled. I had given up about this, I also own another G-Shock with radio controlled time, and that one didn't worked either, so I just resigned, I thought that I was just too far from the wave. But, after reading the manual more closely, I stumbled upon that warning, I disabled "power saving", I enabled Receveing aaaand, succes, the next morning both of my g-shock's were calibrated. So, I think it's very important to know this, IF you want for the watch to auto calibrate at night you must disable "Power saving".

I managed to catch it on the inside of my sleeve on my dress shirt one morning, and as I tried to work my arm through the sleeve, the fact that it was caught on the inside of the sleeve was apparently...ALL IT TOOK TO BREAK THE LUGS!!!!! I thought, "YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTIN' ME!! This is supposed to be a G-SHOCK, and a dress shirt is all it took to break this supposedly "tough" watch!?!?!" By the time I found out I was gonna have to shell out about $250 to get the thing fixed (I had to send it out to Utah from Michigan to do it), I swore I'd NEVER buy another G-SHOCK again!! I don't know who the "brain-iac" was who thought up this "watch-band-lug" crap, but they need to pull their head outta their A** and think of somethin' else!!! Extremely frustrating!! About $280 bucks down the crapper!! I only had the thing for about a year & a half!!

    This maybe one of the last good true military G-Shocks as I need a watch that works completely on its own. When I was in the Army there where many times I didn’t have a phone or cell reception. This rules out Bluetooth paired with an app functionality. Also forget about watches requiring an external power source, aside from solar, such as the newer Garmins. Many of the advertised military tactical watches is straight marketing BS as they aren’t practical.

    The army does not use solar powered watches as you don't want to give your position away to the enemy while doing something as miniscule as charging a watch. Also, worrying about the watch's charge level instead of the task in hand would be considered as a distraction. The military uses basic, battery powered G-Shocks for those reasons.

    Excellent video, I am still watching. Difficulty changing it. Thank you for informing me it automatically shuts off. Always had a Casio watch-G shock, Mudman, had early Casio phone book as well as Casio calculator watch. I loved my mudman. Stopped doing stopwatch & countdown functions, I believe when battery was changed, something happened. Video is useful, since I have difficulty reading small print manual it comes with. I am not clear if I am pinging a tower for atomic time, do I still need to set up manually?

    many things could be better but still the best watch in the world for me, yes it is plastic, but in my business it is ultimate tool, no charging like modern wrist gadgets, I use barometer trend all the time, I didn't use compass because I use different one for navigation but it is must have for emergencies, but the ultimate thing for me is one button stopwatch, use it absolutely all the time in emergency as mountain rescue situation, as soon as I get a call I press button and I know my response time, how long it was from a emergency call, yes you can remember when the call was made or mark it somehow but in high stress and adrenaline situation things don't work that way... it is simple thing but for me it is a deal breaker, no other watch can do that and also it is always ready no need to worry about battery life, and it is always accurate to the second, can't beat this with any wrist gadget with ton of useless functions, in stress situations when you have injured man to rescue they are useless,when adrenaline rush and you must react you just don't scroll trough functions and check battery status etc. you have other. things to do... I hope they will make this model forever

    i got this watch a few days ago, got the negative display version, it is a lot harder to read, in the site and all the photos of this watch shows it a lot better then it looks irl, keep this in mind if you plan on buying, another thing that i found weird is if you put it in a time zone that suppose to be out of the range of the receive function the watch wont let you try to sink or put the dst on auto although if you put it on another city in the same time zone, you could receive the signal, so far i had 2 nights and it did get the signal successfully.

Not to mention, the Rangeman is tougher and a hell of a lot cheaper. What's not to like? Tee shirt or a suit this watch gets attention! I love ❤️ it. Buy one!

    I think it's decimal, i added the decimal values (closest rounded) and the sunrise / sunet times are identical with the ones on the weather app for my city. I was confused by the little degree mark on the Lat / Lon screen making me thing i need to add the DMS value.

    I can vouch for the lugs breaking. I did some rock climbing and bam, next thing I know all 4 lugs are broken. The reason for this is because the watch bezel, bands and case are all connected to the lugs, so any force you put gets directly transferred to the 4 lugs. They have fixed this issue with the new Rangeman which uses 1 extra pin bar on each side, and a plastic covering over the lugs to spread out the force. Be warned, if you do anything even remotely rugged, this watch is not for you. I have the older Mudman G-9300, and that uses 4 separate screws to attach the bezel to the watch case, 4 screws to attach the bands to the watch case and 4 screws to cover the lugs and the backplate, making it much tougher.

    Fuck you and your bullshit about this watch. No lugs are broken since 2013. Take your broken lugs bullshit some place else. The only rock climbing you ever did was behind your computer. The GPR B1000 is a piece of shit. There´s a reason why it lasted only 2 years and the GW 9400 is still alive and kicking since 2013...
