You say that one of them has to go. I realize that they're g-shocks, and can take a beating, but with the way you throw remember onto the table, just get rid of them all. I've had some of my Casio for over 30 years, and I never toss them around like that.

As a G-Shock lover I'm still on the fence on this one. $500 for a watch like this, and with no sapphire crystal... This watch just doesn't scream Rangeman! My $350 Mudman 9500 is waaay better than this imo! If this watch was like $300 I'd buy it for sure. In the meantime, I'll keep wearing my GPR-B1000. Thanks for the review tho.

This GPR-H1000 is very niche. It’s perfect for those that participate in mud runs or obstacle course racing. Otherwise the extra weight over the GBDH2000 puts it somewhat at a disadvantage.

Hi Jim, with your star ratings, what watch/s have you given 5 star ratings, as one of those I might buy. Your reviews are so balanced, that I don't know what to do, Nearly bought the Mudman, then nearly the Rangeman GPR-H1000, now in limbo. Would welcome advice please. Many thanks

Good question! The running, walking, or biking exercise functions use the GPS to show you the distance traveled and your heart rate. Additionally the app will show you the course you took on a map. But the calculations for calories burned and other details may not be accurate. So I would guess that you could choose the from among those exercises on the Rangeman.

I can't agree with you. I always want to know my steps, distance, tracking route, regional weather, heart rate, SPO2, altitude, temperature, barometrics datas and others. The breadcrumb navigation and the barometric forecast (storm) are superior. This is the reason why Garmin always be a solid point to the real hikers. Casio is a traditional and a money hungry company. They want to sell the same thing many times as they can. They make a little modification and the job is done. (They think, but the users don't agree) This mixed attitude is the worst for innovation. What I see and read on forums (for example: @Chase the Summit), many G-Shock enthausiast and users abandon the brand and find themselves at Garmin's ecosystem (Instinct 2X, Fenix and Epix). They want more. This is the reason why Casio would like to catch Garmin, Suunto, Polar, Apple, etc. but it can't. They would like to walk on the same way. I think, this is what truly happening. Just see the Casio and Polar collaboration. The GPR-B1000 was a legendary watch but new demands forming the market.

I’m new to Gshocks but I’m a quick learner. It would appear that the GPR has a cut and past module and largely the same programming (with the addition of trekking) from the GBH 2000. As such all the downfalls from the 2000 are naturally contained within the GPR. It is not a Rangeman as per the GPRB but a 2000 with mud resistant buttons.

GPS takes 5-10 minutes to start up unless he got a faulty model, button delay which is the case with all their smartwatches, inaccurate heart rate data and GPS is a bit off. Casio clearly doesn't know what they are doing in this area, so they should scrap all that and do their traditional layout with a MIP display to keep the cost down because the design alone is cool enough.

I'm a collector, I love all my gshocks, have about 80 and 22 of them are rangemans 9400..for me, like I said, it's not about the value of the watch, it's about the principles behind it's inception. I see this release as a reskinned gbdh2k and nothing else and if I decide to pickup one, it will be only to replace my gbdh1000... Y'all who have 9400's in the collection, keep them close, they will be worthing their weight in gold in a few years..

Disappointed as well. Still using old technology. Too many buttons to push to get to desired data. It’s archaic! Money I’ll never recoup.

That stinks! Sorry you don’t like it. The body is good I wish the software was up to that level.

You are right about the keeper, sucks, you have a big wrist it will not be a problem, I saw in one review the sweat management is not to good. And the guy lives in Australia.

I’ve been wearing it since last night and it certainly sweatier than the H2000.
