The idea of freedom is spot on. When wearing a g-shock (compared to an expensive mechanical watch), you are free of worry, free of maintenance costs, free from setting your watch, and free from what others think. The g shock is a tool to be used, unpretentious, always dependable, and useful.

Casio continues to amaze me with quality affordable watches from Edifice to protrek to G Shocks. Casio is king

In a world of planned obsolescence products that are meant to be thrown away Casio has become my favorite brand... These watches communicate durability, pragmatism and functionality. I got a Pro Trek PRT 30 for Christmas in 1999 which has been in use almost every day and still runs perfectly. I just love it. Gonna get my 5610 soon.

Gshock is an essential element of a well rounded collection, IMO.

I’ve got both of these watches but the Rangeman in specific has been used many times to predict rainstorms (down to the minute) which is really nice when you’re motorcycling or cycling. Really really nice. The compass helps me not half to bust out the real compass during hikes, and the altimeter is used all time to estimate location on long hiking ascents. I’ve found the atomic clock keeping to be extremely accurate, I’ve brought them to numerous New Year’s eve locations abroad and it’s accurate down to the second every single time. I’ve been swimming in them, dropped and banged them against everything. I love my Automatic Seikos, but G-Shocks are the ultimate in watch design IMO. Everything else (Rolex, Audemars, whatever) I just fluff or excess (read: art).

As someone who owns a few expensive Swiss watches I have to say my g shock gets more wrist time than any of them I love my g shock also such a good travel companion!

Your video are amazing, the calm voice and the satisfying music also makes your videos enjoyable.

I have collected many Casios, mostly Pathfinders and G-Shocks. Out of the collection both the GWM5610 and the GW9400 are my most favorites. In short there are a ton of G-Shocks but price compared to features the 9400 beats them all and the simplistic charm of and design of the 5610 keeps me from putting it down. All my other watches sit in my case ignored and sad. Your video is perfect.

This video is amazingly well produced. I am looking at getting a rangeman, which is how I found your video, and I’m currently wearing the square in your video. One of the big advantages of the rangeman for me seems to be the easy to push buttons. I would like that a lot.

Great video as always! I bought my first square about a year ago to prepare for hiking the Inca trail and I have been loving it ever since. I recently picked up the Pokémon themed Baby-G for my birthday and I can’t help but smile when I am wearing it, especially when I hit the backlight and am greeted by Pikachu. I might have to give a shot at modding my 5600. I saw Jody at JOMW do a full metal mod that is really intriguing

Great Video. Ive had the green one for a few years and love it. Some notes: It's actually the barometer sensor that's working as the altimeter, I find its usually accurate to about 100 feet, but needs to be calibrated before a hike at the trailhead. Because of this I don't use it to predict weather on hikes, unless I'm staying at the same altitude, in that case its very accurate as you said. Having a reliable digital thermometer is actually awesome, although it needs to be away from your body to work properly and not on your wrist. I find it really useful in a tent pocket or on a nightstand in a hotel room, anytime when you can't trust what the ambient temp is. As a runner, the instant start stopwatch is awesome. When I'm doing any outdoor activity or weekend adventure, this is the watch on my wrist. The biggest advantage it has over an Apple Watch or Garmin, is it's no fuss solar charge. One final note: my wrist is 6.75 and I usually prefer a 39mm watch, but love to rock my huge rangeman.

There is no way I would add a G-Shock to my collection.... but.... I am a watch nerd and I read about the history, the robustness, the features. I love a good tool watch! I changed my mind and I went big - picked up one of the all metal GMW-B5000's as my first G-Shock. It's been dominating my wrist since and with the auto illumination is my go-to bedtime watch. I just cannot believe what a great value these things are. I definitely get it now!

this video was top quality I am surprised you have such low number of subscribers. I am glad I enjoyed.

Because I work around speakers all day and I don’t like wearing leather straps in the Summer, I wear either my Rangeman or my GW-B5600 (another square) to work and they’re both amazing. They become every day watches during the Summer months.

The GWM5610 rekindled my love of watches a few years ago and I've gone through a few since then. One I left on the hood of my car to charge while I was doing construction work, forgot about it later, drove off, came back only to find it in the middle of the highway, having been run over by semi trucks and half an hour of heavy traffic. It was a little bit scuffed on the case and strap, and the clasp was slightly bent, but it worked fine! I love these watches and have bought a couple as gifts for friends and family. As much as I love a good auto mechanical dive watch for sharp looks and to wind up and wear on my other wrist - gotta have a watch on each wrist! - a G SHOCK is ALWAYS on one wrist. Now I think a Rangeman 9400 is in order ... to swap and give the 5610 some days off now and then maybe? ... probably will wear 5610 more often tho, since it's a bit sleeker. Casio is King

Another outstanding video. Pure fun watching it. Thank you.

Best video about GWM510 - Im almost ready to buy one for my birthday in 1 may :)

I’ve had a GW6900-1 with tough solar for 7 years and it’s just so damn reliable and such a badass watch for only $90. Not one issue with it. I recently picked up the GWM5610-1 for something a little more low profile but all the same features. I love the white backlight on it compared to the green in my older one. I use a Garmin Fenix 6x sapphire for trail running and hiking but I will one day add the rangeman to my collection bc of the altimeter offering, plus it just looks badass.

I completely agree with you about the greatness of G Shocks..I can’t stop collecting them!! I currently have 2 GWM 5610’s in my collection, one with a positive display and one negative, and a slew of other G’s, some solar/atomic and some not. I have automatic watches in my collection too, but I think the G Shocks are my favorites because of their toughness and ease of use.

I received these watches today. Now I have 4 G-shocks and love them. A few words about the watches in this video, so far: 5610 is more comfortable to carry around due to the lightweight and better fit on the wrist. The only drawback with 9400 is the long flat back. It makes the watch tending to move to the sides of the wrist. It could be better designed.

Got the rangeman, little over two years of edc. Love it.

You Sir, have a very good potential with this channel, pleas keep up quality videos like this coming! Would love to see more gshock videos! Greetings from Argentina!

This is the best review of Casio digital watches I have seen in a while. I m really glad u highlighted the most important aspect of Casio digital watches. I like Casio digital watches bcz I don't have to worry about battery life , don't have to charge it every week like those stupid smart watches. These watches are inexpensive, and robust and durable unlike the analog mechanical watches. Furthermore they have all the basic functionality which everyone uses on a daily basis like time, date, month stopwatch, timers, backlight for night vision. I really appreciate Casio for these watches.

nice review... love how you make the review...most specially the RANGEMAN-GW9400, which i am planning to order it at Amazon..thanks for the review.

Very nicely presented and spoken in relation to how it is actually a watch that shows not just your wallet size. 🍻👏👏👏

Great showcasing and neat music

Accuracy, indestructibility, affordability, fun ...and... function. There's a lot of watch I would like to buy, but they mostly just tell the time (and date). Given my active lifestyle, G-Shock is the one I reach for and use daily.

Just ordered my first G shock and looking forward to it. (GW5000U)

Ive had many watches, maybe not as many as you and not at this price point but I was fascinated about collecting ( divers, pilots, elegant watches etc). But now, I have 3 watches - one Omega Seamaster which is only worn on special ocasions or business meetings and these 2 beasts. And they are 2 best watches ive ever had, I dont really need to care of them, very comfortable and good looking in normal/casual style.

I own both. I've been wearing the 5610 every day for the past 5 years and it has been perfect.

I have several G-Shock squares. But I've never owned a big boy G-Shock. I'm usually intimidated by their big bulky size. But that Rangeman looks so good, that it makes me really wanna try it.

Fantastic content! I have the 5600 and I always find myself putting it on over my mechanical watches, it’s just too easy to wear.

Honestly, when I first got it I hated it! Functions were great but It was huge. MAIN problem was it dug into my hand's backside! Worn only on my left wrist and the buttons would dig into the bottom of my hand. Strap it on your Left wrist, push it further down towards your hand and then bend the back of your hand up towards your face with your palms facing the floor... Mine would dig into the back of my hand and @ one point i boxed it up to send back the Range man GW9400... But several months later here it sits out on my desk with my four other favorite G-Shocks.... What I had to do was, make sure to wear it further up on my wrist away from my hand, you know above your wrist bone just a bit... I believe that's where all the watches should be worn they say. I also changed the strap... can't deny how cool it is. Everyone recognizes the Range man.. I've noticed the altitude feature is a little off.. it's a great watch with really easy to press buttons Enjoy how you can hold one button to return to the home screen...

I have a number of Casio's including a GW5610 blackout, a GW6900 and a vintage G510 stainless steel. I've admired this gw9400 for a long while now but the size is a little daunting even though I have a 7.3 inch wrist.

i have a 7 inch wrist and it does feel huge on my wrist. it sits pretty high too.

i have a riseman and a stealth gd350. i think you should include the blacked out latter too. it's not only stunning but it has arguably got the best negative display in the gshock line-up due to its large digital display and it's as cheap as a macaroon.

Nice comparison video. Currently the Rangeman GW-9400-1 is my daily watch. I try other watches, but keep coming back to this one as it is reliable, tough, great auto backlight, good fit and highly functional. If I ever got another G-Shock it would probably be the GW-6900-1 or the GWM-5000U-1 with the softer strap and screw-down backplate and the slim profile.

own the 5610 - indeed it's a very useful piece of equipment and also dependable. only thing i dislike a lot, is the strap, I'm not a big fan of wearing watches as tight as possible, and if you set it a bit loose, it will keep sliding around, given that the one side of the strap is shorter than the other. from what i can see, it's the same thing with the Rangeman...

Excellent comparison and overall review! Thanks!

I have both models (just the 5610 updated model - GW-M5610U). And I like so much more the readability of the display in the M5610U, especially the month and date. The Rangeman's month and date are much worse due to a different font numbers (very poorly distinguished seven, three), and even that area of the screen is darkened, which further worsens the readability. Besides, the Rangeman has much more unwanted shadows on the screen. But the Rangeman has its good features (and for me it is not a barometer or altimeter, which I don't care about).

amazing High Quality Video
