Actually most of the personnel who are active duty..at least from my experience in Naval Aviation prefer the Garmins over the Casios including myself though I'm personally not an aviator who could at any minute end up in a very desperate survival situation not just in enemy territory but in general... I'm just a maintainer who fixes what the pilots break though our job is pretty dangerous as well. I've gotten 80+ days of battery life out of my tacttix delta thanks to solar charging and if you're a survivalist or someone in a survival situation such as an aviator and haven't found a source of power in over 80 days I think you have bigger problems to worry about. And in terms of durability I've only ever gotten one scratch on my watch and its fallen and been beaten up more times than I can count on many different surfaces. No scratches on the display or anything of the sort. Now I'm sure if you wanted to throw it off a building or run it over with a car things might be different but a scenario like that is a tad unrealistic, you'd be more worried if you'd survive than if your watch doesn't have a scratch on it or not. I think both are extremely durable and would survive anything you'd throw at them and still have plenty of life to give.

Love finding little gems like this video! Love that you are using these watches as tools. And have modified the Rangeman for a nato strap too!

74!!! i wish i live that longer. you are a great inspiration. I want to do outdoor explores like you when I hit 70s.

I wanted to give you a thanks. I have the Mudmaster and just bought the Rangeman. I wasn't fond of the Casio straps and because of your vid I learned about JaysAndKays and bought the straps and adapters for both. I absolutely love the straps and it makes the watches much more comfortable and , in my opinion, better looking.Cheers and thanks.

I opted for the GPR-B1000. It's a good solid watch that will last for many years to come. Though, I did look at the other options. In the end, I enjoy spending time outside with a chainsaw and doing other things that are likely to break a lesser watch. Thanks for the video, Cheers!

Love your voice and simple way of putting it im from the deep high grasslands of the big horns In Wyoming so being in Seattle these city folk are all caught up in a bunch of nonesense you keep it simple and clear just how I like it

I got the Rangeman and loving it, the reason I bought it, I already have a hand held GPS, the watch is for whenever The hand held runs out

Excellent review. It was helpful for me determining a possible future purchase. Thank you!

Both are excellent tracking devices but if you need to pick just one I’d recommend the Garmin and if you still have the extra money get the Casio as a backup. As a more economical alternative to both: Garmin Instinct (also less battery juice)

Hello, which one of them is more preferred?? Now I have garmin fenix 6x, I want to sell them and buy gpr b1000

My Tactix Delta has saved my ass in the bush… hunting, sun goes down, thought I knew where trailhead was. I wish Casio would come out with a map watch like garmin. If you pull a bonehead move like I did and don’t start it tracking, I think you’d be hooped with the Casio. My Garmin guided me right back to my truck… saved me a 32 km trek in the dark straight up and down a mountain. I just love how tough Casio is so here’s hoping they put maps in ‘em!!

Great video ,take care

I have the RangeMan and I put on the adapter for a single pass zulu strap. Solar charging is great. If you install a USB port on your ATV, you can charge it on the go or you can get a folding solar panel and charge it quickly with that too. The jaysandkays adapter fits the strap too loosely unless you install 2.5mm thick spring bars and then put a layer of shrink tubing over them to tighten up the fit. I don't like the NATO double pass straps.

Different brand straps have different thickness. I use a Ritche Nato that fits perfect. As for the GPR battery. It charges in sunlight no need for a solar panel. If I have to It can be charged with the battery pack I use for the camera. No need to carry extra gear. Thanks for watching.

The GPR B1000 is out of production and the collectors have driven the price through the roof. I only got the Fenix 6 Pro for it's maps and tracking. Glad I saved you some money and thanks for watching.

FYI the 6X has a TON more battery. Also it has an expedition mode which lasts over a month. The Garmin does EVERYTHING the Casio does and a ton more. In terms of bullet proof, if you are literally smacking your watch against the wall the Casio will last longer. Otherwise the Garmin, which is Milspec, wins on all points. However if you want that bulky rugged styling then its GShock

The larger Garmin X size has a larger battery and some have solar. I'd doubt they would beat the Casio on battery life though. Also I use velcro or NATO (well semi-nato I guess!) straps. You can get versions that will allow the heart rate/pulse ox to work. I know it doesn't bother you I'm just mentioning it for others. Nice video by the way.

The Casio GPR B1000 is more of a survival watch. It doesn't have any of the fitness tracking of the Garmin. It built to run under any conditions. The Garmin is mostly a fitness watch. It's tough enough for most people. Since fitness is what your into I'd go with the Garmin and carry a battery pack if your going to be out for days. Except for some added soft wear I don't see much of a difference between the Fenix 6 pro and the Tactix Delta. I'd save a couple hundred and get the 6 pro.

With it's on screen maps and scalable face the Garmin is better for backtracking. The Casio's can only go down to 1 mile scale with a breadcrumb trail so it's harder to s see. The Casio can save manually entered points. Thanks for watching.
