I shelved my GPRB1000 for the GW9500. The GW9500 is a perfect fit for me and my uses.

Yes, the Mudman is that good! Good size too!

The rangeman strap is very comfortable and I love it.

Great insight ! Thanks Jim!

This article is a great marketing material. Don't get me wrong, I know the watch will survive mud and dirt, or even diesel. Most of the g-shocks will survive. The cheap DW -5600e square is a NASA flight approved g-shock and can survive in the vacuum of space. With this new rangeman the limiting factor is the charging, but it's great for the rescue teams. The older model gw9400 was very popular in the military and now I think the new mudman will be also very popular.

Thank you Jim! Very informative. ☝👍👌✌

My pleasure. Hope you learned something!

I own the gwg b1000 Mudmaster, wich has an intricate and angular shape steel bezel. This bezel is a weapon ;-) it can hurt and scratch the skin or any soft surface. Definitly not a rescue wrist watch. I love it however !

You know what’s funny is that when I saw it I thought it looked like a chisel. I guess it is!

By the way I got the gdb h2000 this week and I’ve used it for a bit and gotta say it’s incredible. Thank you for all of the helpful videos that you’ve made on the subject, big love from Italy 🇮🇹

That’s great! Enjoy the watch!

That's good. Little more rebound as well . Especially compared to things like Garmin instinct with it's hard chipping crappy plastic.

Yea, the plastic on the garmins look cheap to me. That’s why I haven’t got one yet.

Very good video. The best rangeman and very comfortable

Hi Jim, Your UK viewer again. No one else has mentioned this softness. Can you change the watch strap and would you still buy it? Many thanks

@JimKinkade

3 ай бұрын

No, I don’t think you can change the strap because the strap has a female end that is proprietary to Casio. Maybe someone will make an adapter. I’m liking the Rangeman a lot so far and I’m happy I got it!

I think it is soft to better absorb the shocks. elasticity will dissipate energy before it reaches the core device within the protective body.

That’s a benefit for sure!

I have just been looking at the bezel screws on my GGB100 and the bump stops are at an angle so one side of the screws are protected but just protrude slightly on one side.my GWGB1000 has only one half of the screws protected but the my GW7900 the screws stick up slightly above the bezel I guess some of it is how the designer wanted to watch to look

It definitely looks cool. But the exposed screws DO rub.

This is a GBDH2000 using the Rangeman branding and design, it’s just a sports watch Casio screwed up on this one could of been one the best.

What are your thoughts on the GA-110 vs GA-140?

@JimKinkade

3 ай бұрын

They’re both so similar! It depends on the specific colorway. Some color combos on both models don’t have enough contrast between the hands and the face. I would take the 140 since the shape of the hands are of a more pronounced arrow and I feel like that adds to the legibility.

@JimKinkade

The thing is , Russ, I don’t really like either of those because the dial is too busy. If you’re looking for an ani-digi in that price range check out the GA700. Much cleaner dial.

If you leave the Mudman compass on 24/7, how much battery does it use?

I love my yellow !!! I had the last 2 iterations, all great , but I still think this watch was put together, aesthetically, smart… the previous model while great, is a little cumbersome, compared to this one.. jmo

AMEN MY BROTHER 🙏🏻✝️

Always love my gpr b1000

Mud is nothing! My GD350BR took diesel, oil and a substance like WD40 for one year at work. At the end the settings button worked not perfect but i cleaned all the watch and it work absolutely perfect even now. I also own a full metal gmw b5000. G-Shocks are something else in durability. But i barelly use them now, i prefer a Samsung Watch6ClassicLTE, in a much cleaner work space, but still i ndustrial.

G-shocks should be tested in diesel and oil. It’s the only way.

Soft watches for tough men 😉

irony, they should make it thiner and smaller and the watch would not be in the way... had the gw9400 and your brain needs to adapt to its size, just like when you start wearing glasses, and not realize its there

All G shocks should come with "hourly signal chime". Once again stupid Casio didn't put it on this watch, so Casio won't sale it to me.

I’m confused because there are people telling me you can turn on the hourly chime. That might be a new feature they added in the app. 🤷‍♂️

It's soft like a penis.....new Rangeman AKA Dick Steele....ok, without jokes now, that doesn't have to be a bad thing, maybe it's not a bad idea for a shock resistance, and also for a general comfort at the wrist. By the way, GPR-B1000 didn't been the only one, that was the most advanced digital Casio, I think to this day, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. But it didn't been the only one, that period 2016.-2018. was a period of insane high end Casios.....for example, GPW-2000 Gravitymaster was definitely the most advanced analog Casio, and it's still to this day, I'm 100% sure. That's the analog piece of art, a masterpiece from Casio....a work of completely insane team from Casio. I really believe that Casio will sooner or later make some updated version of a Dick Steele, and it should be okay, but I'm also sure the price tag will be insane, too. Like

People are just a pile of poop, a sheeps without the brain, there's no other explanation. People want to follow up the Slice of Darkness GPRB1000, now they want it, but at the time when it was released a critics destroyed it despite it was the most advanced digital Casio ever made, and it's still to this day???? Off course, that was the reason why the watch didn't been sold in a huge numbers, people didn't like it, that's it.....and NOW when it's discontinued they want it? Maybe a part of the reaon was that thing was introduced in Basel, which was really brave from Casio, they had to introduce it in Tokyo. Now they want to follow it up, to bring it back? It's too late now. A same situation was with the best analog Casio ever, GPW2000....there's a lot of really legendary Casios from the past which was gems, but the sheeps (a people) buried it as soon as it was released.@@JimKinkade
