Instead of reading the manual that came with the watch to set it up, I find it much easier to watch your video. Good job.
This is the only vid better than the original manual
I had this watch for more than 8 years now and I haven't used it's full features, really the things I take for granted
Yup got mine back in August 2016 with the manufacturer date of January 13 2016 so it was fairly new and my battery has recently run dried or died out for not using it for a couple years! (Got into an Apple Watch Series 6😖) Luckily I recharged it back to High and still running like a tank! Love my Rangeman still!😎🤙🏻
From 2024. I can't wait for my Rangeman. Thank you!
Hi Marin,
I just wanted to thank you for your videos, parts 1 and 2, on the Rangeman. Watching them, and a number of your other videos, helped me decide which to buy... and then rewatching them once I'd obtained my chosen watch helped me really get to know the watch in depth - Far better than straining my eyes, trying to work through the tiny manual. Far more engaging than some dry PDF file downloaded. Far more informative and detailed than any other video on the internet!
My new Rangeman and I sincerely thank you... and we both owe you a pint, if ever you're visiting the UK!!
Massive hugs,
Sarrienne!
Haha thanks, and I'll hold you up on that beer, if I ever visit UK 😀👍
As a guy whose 9400BJ-1JF (with a Japanese manual) just arrived, this video was a Godsend. Thank you very much.
+jlunit416 haha I'm glad I helped.
If you're interested make sure to check out my last video as you can win some GShock accessories. It came out a couple of days ago
Just a quick thing on the barometer, this is my 3rd watch with triple sensor I learned a pretty good trick with the barometer with my 2nd Protrek. When setting up your barometer set the temperature 1st then the pressure by using the weather network or if you use IPhone use the weather app. I noticed for the last 8 years that the heat of your body doesn’t interfere with your watch thermometer or sensor. I did a research on it and I fact it doesn’t read your body heat, it’s made to sense air pressure and moist in the air,, with that calculates the temperature and pressure. But it needs help to get it right,, for example the 1st time I tried it it was 33c• so I set it as the weather network. Later that afternoon the I checked the watch to see the temp. It gave me 27c• I checked my app and it was right on spot even the pressure was right. Not my body heat. Even at home the temp is set at 22c• for heat during the winter the watch gives me 19. 4 as it can only sense the air in the house. The furnace thermometer is set to start when it feels below 2 degrees deference. But the watch will only change in 1.5 degree different when the furnace is running after that,, the watch will start loosing heat sense and goes back to 19.4 or 19.1 each room has a different temp. Check it out, Casio made it so accurate that no other company has manage to recreate. From protrek 270 to Rangeman GW9400 it’s amazing, I am now waiting for my GWG1000. Good luck guys enjoy the outdoors I enjoy when hunting and finishing. Happy New Year 2019
In Manual it is even written than before you want to measure temperature, you need to take off watch and put on shelf/desk for 15-20 minutes!
Loving this from 2024- Just got my blackout model today and this is a lifesaver.
Thank you for your time in doing this. Been wearing my Rangeman for 3 years, and you showed me so much the watch can do, That I had no idea how to use. Thank you.
Bought the GW-9400 Y yesterday, both your tutorials are absolutely helpful. Much easier than the owners manual. thanks a lot !
This is very comprehensive, so many buttons, will take time for an old man to learn. My battery operated Mudman, I knew well. Since no sun since holidays, I have been waiting to set up. WOW
I have watched all your gw9400 related video tutorials and I found all of them very educative, as they are complete, very clearly and to the point - way better than the official guide. Thank you, they help me understand how to use my first g-shock!
Great tutorial, every time I get a new casio watch, I look you up! Great job!
This is hands down the best two tutorials for the rangeman! Just got the blacked out on yesterday! I love it. Just getting used to negative display is hard.
its amazing how much technology and features are stored in this watch. Making this watch more valuable and must have for daily use. And thank you for the detailed review, without this video i wouldn't have known half the features. You are a watch Guru !
7:00 Whenever the weather changes you have to tell the watch how high you are so that it can tell you how high you are... brilliant !
Telling your exact elevation is not its purpose, without gps its not really possible. On the other hand it will tell elevation difference pretty accurately
this triple sensor is joke and i agree with you that sentence is brilliant :-)
@@truthisbusiness1564 as i explained it before. Its for measuring elevation difference not exact elelevation altough it will tell that too within a hundred or so meters. Since it doesnt have gps built in it can only rely on air pressure data, but since weather can also change air pressure it can throw off the measurment but only by 50-100 meters. If you start trekking set the elevation at home and it will be accurate thruout the day. Or dont set it and it will tell you the elevation difference from you zero point. It is a very sensitive sensor by the way and can measure 1 meter difference even
Puno hvala za RANGEMAN! Uhvatio signal tek sada (ručno) na skijanju na Kop-u! Nema šanse u gradu😅! Sjajne su Vam recenzije!
Best video I’ve seen explaining functions and settings. I always refer to your video to remind how to do a setting.
Thanks you for the no nonsense straight to the point tutorial!! I love this watch even more now. I feel more confident in its feature and functionality
I've just bought this 9400... I'm waiting for it!! This is the best tutorial in Yuotube. Thanks a lot
Toppppp!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. It has helped me get to grips with my Rangeman much quicker. Its an excellent watch and does so many things which is overwhelming! Love Casio G-Shocks
These two videos were great. I was struggling trying to use the manual and found this video. Ten times easier to follow. Thanks very much.
I should be receiving mine in a few days. Thanks to you I'll know a whole lot more about it. You the man💯
I own this watch as well as GW6900, GBA800 and GW-M5610 1ER G-shocks. I've learned so much from your excellent reviews, keep up the good work. G-shocks rule.
That's quite a collection 👍
Thanks, tend to buy them when we visit the States. So much cheaper than in the U.K.
Very helpful. That bit about the factory code and release date is really good to know. Subscribed!
Thanks, make sure to stay tuned for the upcoming giveaway
Thank you for this , storms are on there way and everything is nice now but once things change I'll be interested in how this function helps with informing me ahead
Just bought a Rangeman, and this video was a ton of help. Thanks so much!
Same here. Also didnt know I can decode production day, March 25 2023 😃
I didn't know my watch had all those features man you're a lifesaver that is so cool I never really use the alternator unless I go camping or hiking and I just put it on but I like how it'll read out the numbers tell you the elevation how high you are I like that a lot then watching the the bars going up I like to be really precise in that does it for me thank you so much have a great holiday man you get you know these casio's so well 👍💕👍💕🏆
Great job walking me through this new watch. I was dreading having to read the thick little book with tiny print. I'm all set now, thank you for taking the time to put this together
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful. If you like GShocks, make sure to check out my giveaway video as you can win one 😜
Great vid very informative just bought one can't wait to get! Bout to watch the first part
Will refer back to this video when I get my watch in the mail! Seems very helpful with the thorough demonstrations.
Thanks to your video i realized by your mention about the serial number, that mine was 11 years old! Now i'm sending it back for getting a new one. Great video. Thank you.
It doesn't have to be true as it could be a year old, letters repeat after 10 years
Ufff😅! Now im in peace😅. I bought in 2024 with letter C!
Thanks!
I didn't understand the bearing function until I watched your tutorial. Thank you very much!
This is a precious channel. Thank you for the informative effort in your videos!
Well going by that build chart towards the end of this video my Rangeman was made in Thailand on August 13 2014..and still going strong :)
we love to hear it! I just bought mine 2 days ago! Hope it makes it the length yours is making xD
@@RandoRak You won't regret it. Mine was made in Q2-2017, and I have been wearing it every day since mid 2018. Dusty environment with occasional proximity to heat(150C-175C). Basically bought it so it can work reliably in harsher conditions.
Sensor part is vast and damn detailed.... Impressed
Thanks again 😁
Thanks so much ! I’ve had this watch for years it was lost in a box during a move . Thanks to you ! I finally understand it !
Did you notice that in the Recall mode, the little circle dial, shows the number of stored records, and shows in what are you in?
Just a comment.
I like to much your videos,
100 thumbs up.
I have had mine for 5 months and received all my info here on how it works and how to use it.
I did find that the alt readings where always all over the place
While walking the same path and of course knowing alt readings that I got from google
What I found was that wearing the watch the readings were all over the place even after resetting known alt levels .
So I took the watch off and it was much much more stable
It seems to me my body heat was affecting the readings
And I know my body temp rises fast . More then most people
Hope this helps
Thank you again for these two videos. 🇺🇸👍🏼
Got it today.
Thank you so much. A breeze to set up thanks to your help.
It's not as big as I thought it would be at all. I love it.
Thank you for the date code as well!

Just received my Rangeman. This 2 part video was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
A very well planned, organised and presented tutorial.
You made me go for the black strap, positive display Rangeman.
+Martin Chivers thank you for the kind words and congrats on a new watch 👍
Awesome videos you saved me reading the manual 👍
Thanks, this really helped me set up, use and understand my new watch.
Best review video for this watch anywhere on the internet!
Perfect tutorial. The best I've found. Major time saver. Thanks!
+CJ Frames thanks for the kind words and I'm glad I could help
Thank you so much! Yours are some of the highest quality reviews, for anything, on UA-cam...all I know about my new Rangeman comes from you! QUESTION: can you tell me why my Barometer seems to function fully for a couple days with readout then all the data disappears for a day or so, finally coming back only to disappear again? Really frustrating as I'm guiding and running outdoor programs in the Rockies...thank you!
Money no object buy whatever you like. If you work for a living, Casio is the only choice (imo). The marathon tsar i bought died in a year. The cheapest Casio I own ( ~$25) is still running I think they put in a magic battery cause I haven’t had it changed yet and I forget how long ago I purchased it.
great video ! thanks ! I got my GW-900 but with reversed lcd ...looks cool but it literary takes time to read the time .. I just ordered positive lcd and I will replace it soon
All the Casio watches I have, I have watched all your tutorials, they help out a lot when I set them Great job!!
I do the same, I have a GWG-2000 and a GW-9400-1B and I always watch his tutorials. Very nice and detailed channel.
Just got this watch. Merry Christmas
Congrats and merry Christmas to you too
Elaborated better then the manual itself. Thank you.
Awesome tutorials, thank you so much. It would take me days to set up my watch to my liking with the manual, with these videos I am done in two hours.
Wow
This was more helpful than thee book that came with it
Thanks for a very helpful tutorial. Just purchased my watch today. Store did not have the manual. Didn't sweat it though, had already seen your video a couple of times. All good. Thanks again.
Congrats on the watch and enjoy ti for years to come 😊
I'm getting my GW 9400 Black Panther tomorrow (as my dad will return from Tokyo) and I am very grateful for both your videos!
Congrats on a new watch 😊👍
My G-shock came in beaten paper box and even the metal box is dimped. The watch looked good despite being a year old so I kept it. Do not care about the box all that much though I suspected someone using it until I saw the metal box dimped. Not sure why anyone would do that, so now I suspect the transport company playing twenty foot drops with their crates or something.
Excellent video..you just helped me to decide how much I want this watch.....!!!!!!keep making beautiful video...!!!!
Thanks and congrats on a new watch to be 😊
Wonderful tutorial. Thanks so much for all your hard work putting this together.
Thanks a lot for this video
Receive my Rangeman today 24th Sep.2022
perfectly understood how to use ABC sensors
HI!!! Thank´s a lot. Have on for years and didn´t know half of what you teach us!!!
Thank you.. I finally made full use of my watch.. I was never able to understand the manual.. :)
+Mark Larsen I'm glad I helped 😊
And enjoy your watch
I love casio watches and in particular G-Shocks.
Thanks for the 2 detailed videos bro 👍
Please pin this:
If you accidentally mess up your barometer or altimeter.
hold the top left button to head to the adjustment screen .then,hold the right two corner buttons,it will display off and it will reset itself.
Won’t work... When I press the top left I get HOLD for adjustment and if I press the right corner buttons it’s canceling the HOLD, back to display ERR on screen like I’m not holding anything
@@jonel5817 Ah sorry dude,my english is pretty bad. alright, press the top left button to the adjustment settings when youre in the barometer or altimeter mode. then, press the right corner buttons at the same time. it should display off then it recalibrates itself.
please respond if this works or it doesnt work.
Edmund Ng
Nope, wont work...
@@jonel5817 do you have discord, or reddit?
@@mcgillicutty--- Hey, if yours is the Gw 9400 model like in this video, i think this (ua-cam.com/video/LhveLfQ56l0/v-deo.html ) video should work as theyre almost the same
Great video! You've left nothing out. Waiting on my Rangeman to be delivered in the next couple of days. I would love to see your video on Casio Oceanus OCW-S100. It's the watch I've been pondering for about a year now. €500 is €500 :)
Thanks for the kind words 😊
Oceanus is slightly out of my reach for the time being 😄
Great video mate. Thanks a lot!!
Excellent tutorial bro. That helpful tip at the end was the cherry on the icing on the cake.
Great video, I'll forget most of it, till I need it. Thumbs up

Nice and fresh! I love mine but it's been a headache trying o familiarise myself with all the functions. These videos have been a heaven send
Thanks, finally I've figured out how to create recall records cause I didn't find that in the manual :C
Great video. Could you tell me how to calibrate the Altimeter ?
Great tutorial as always. Ive just ordered the rangeman.
+Bilko Prince thanks and congrats, I am sure you will enjoy it 👍
Watch Geek got my rangeman yesterday. Wow. Awesome watch. And thanks again this has been very useful.
+Bilko Prince congrats and I hope you enjoy it for years to come 👍
i will receive my rangeman by tomorrow,and ur video really help me man. tq so much 👍🏿
Great videos but just one correction I need to add. Decreasing Barometric curves not always associated with bad weather (or vice versa). In mountainous areas like in valleys you have venturi effects which are always lower pressure than flat areas surrounding the mountains thus you won’t have bad weather approaching.
Also, areas of low pressure that move do not always move in front patterns, depending on jetstream and windsaloft velocities a lower pressure can move in slow, not cause a front, still have good weather and only cause temperature declines but bring better visibility.
Your explanation is only mainly correct in areas of constant same air masses, like in deserts, artic regions etc.
I recommend in the future not to always associate downward curve with bad weather, it really depends where you are located but if we talk percentage wise than yes, most the times you would be correct.
Just received my Rangeman and used your two videos to set it up. Thank you so much😀
+Jim Partington congrats on the watch and I'm glad I could help 👍😊
this is an old Video, but a very good tutorial. i am planning to get this watch and downloaded the manua, had no idea how to use all These functions until i´ve seen the video...who the f gave a thumbs down ?!
Good Job man, had the watch for 2 years never know how to set it up until now :P
I'm glad I helped 😊
Wow Awesome overview. Much appreciated! never seen such a thorough review on a watch! Subbed
Nice video I was wondering what's the number besides the temperature the 3 mine has a 2?
I absolutely love this design I own 2 but find the buttons press too easily by accident too often and it’s very complicated to use and setup and it doesn’t get a satellite signal hardly ever at all even though my frogman has no problem receiving a signal daily
You might have info on, in the barometer mode. This will prevent your rangeman from being able to use the power save mode and receiving the atomic signal at night. That or you live outside of the atomic tower range where it will still pick the signal up
Take my advice: always travel with a good compass as well.
Two is one after all
The manual advises that as well.
Sun position during day. And star gazing knowledge for night 😜
Thanks Captain Obvious 💂
Plus an altimeter a thermometer and a barometer😂
Man , you know almost everything about the watch
thank you for sharing your informations
Haha thanks for watching 😁
Another great Video! My number on the case back has an "A" so I assume the watch was made in 2021. I kind of skipped the altimeter since I don't think I will use that function often but will come back to it once I have mastered the other capabilities of the watch. Question... is there a way of clearing the barometer so it can start over? Anyway, another great video and I appreciate the time you spent putting it together. I almost went for a Mudman but given the ~60mm size and cost of close over $600 I passed on that model and bought the GW 9400 from Amazon for $330, Really impressed with my first GShock! Thanks again!
Thank you for your guidance. It is very much appreciated.
Really clear and straightforward video. Thanks.
+Andres Reza thanks :)
You made it really easy to operate the watch thankyou. i bought a rangeman and wanted to ask a question. My compass only displays bearings and the direction for around 40 seconds and then goes blank, it resumes only after i press C button. Is that how it is supposed to be. Thanks
Thank you very much for helping this is a very awesome watch very rugged really put together well made thank you for sharing this watch thank you so much 🏆👍
That is interesting about the date the watch was manufactured. My 5610 has 262H at the end of the code so the 262nd day of 2018 which is only about a month or so before I purchased it.
Ok, wtf
@@yeaa6069 what?
Really great info....thanks for giving us some valuable data.
Chris.
+chris scott I'm glad I was of assistance :)
Thank you for all the detailed explanations ! 👍 I just received a brand new black and yellow gw9400 and the serial shows ''A'' which dates the watch back to minimum 2011. Is it possible since this model just came out recently?
It has to be 2021 since now we are in the “new” 2020’s
Thanks, but how could correct the barometric graphic? There are some gabs? I live in Korea, how could set for the correct barometric pressure and temperature?
Hi!
I have watched your videos several times, because you explain it really very well and understandable. I have already bought the Rangeman for the second time, because the first has snatched my son 😅
Now I have my new Rangeman not that long, maybe 2 months max. I wanted to use the compass and found that it was totally misaligned. I did the calibration as you also show in the videos, but it still shows the cardinal directions wrong. I can only imagine that I was at my friend's workshop where he also has strong magnets and that something may have been misaligned there.
Is there a way to completely reset the clock to factory settings! Because I find nothing on the Internet about it. It annoys me that the compass can no longer be calibrated. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
Thank you for excellent review, really I don't hear ever like your explanation
Thanks thanks
And i wish to do review for most of pro
G shock watches 🌹🌹
excellent video--great job explaining it all
best watch ever
Very informative and very simple to understand. Thank you
Awesome video. Thank you. I watched it about 3 times.
Great review as usual ... well done ... however, if you were to choose one watch between this gw9400 & the prw2500 titanium ... which one would u choos?
That's a tough one...
The rangeman has better sensors and is a G-Shock, but that duplex LCD of the PRW looks SO COOL.
I would probably end up getting both 😄
Hahaha ... you are absolutly right about both... I have the PRG 270D for 4 years now ... great watch ... I wanna have another digital analogue triple sensor tough solar watch with sunrise sunset ... any suggestions please 😅
Gulfmaster
This thing that barometer and time sync can't work same time is really disapointing?! It would be great if you could leave it on and when weather changes you get signal .. and still can receive time change ?
thx for the great video. got my gw9400 for a week now - but barometer keeps the same value 1018hPa, even when the graph changes up and down from sunny day to a storm (graph works correctly) - can you explain why the numeric value is not changing? (it only changes the altimeter height +- 30 metres, but the watch is on the same level, not travelling)
I find this very annoying and not working properly.
if barometric graph changes, so should the baro value, isn't it?
