It's all about the passion for wristwatches. I am so happy that you opted for the Rangeman and sincerely hope it provides you with years of excellent service! Great review, Bob!
Thanks Lee. I was close to pulling the trigger on the Mudman but after talking to you the Rangeman made more sense for me. It's funny, I have 5 or 6 "keepers" of all my watches and I think this has joined that section of my collection. I had a Pathfinder (ABC watch) before but this takes the "Awesome" factor up a notch. Thanks again and look forward to chatting again soon:)
It does not receive 6 times a day, only once, mostly after midnight. The 6 means that there are 6 radio transmitters located at different zones of the world. Btw it's a perfect watch, i really like it.
For anyone reading this these days, a correction: The watch will attempt to receive the signal six times, an hour apart, beginning at midnight. However, if it is successful, it doesn't try again until the next night. Thus, it will only attempt once if that attempt is successful.
The buttons are steel. I found out from Casio. I really like this Rangeman a lot so I also picked up Casio G-Shock GW-9400-3CR in the olive green. I wear my GW-9400-1CR as part of EDC GEAR. The GW-900-3CR I wear as a nice casual watch with a nice pair jeans. You did a great job on this video. Keep coming. Thank You.
Great review! This was also my first G-Shock, careful not to get the G-Shock bug. I have bought 4 since. Love them all. My last is the GX-56BB Blackout. It is bad a$$! Although it doesn't have all the functionality of the Rangeman. Also loved the blooper ending!
Rey Maduro Thanks Rey. I can totally see going down the road of buying more. I'm elready poking around online and checking out some other ones. Thanks for checking out the vid. Cheers👍
Thanks Aron. I'm a bit surprised by how much I'm loving this thing. I'd never given GShocks much of a chance. I had a Pathfinder at one point and I'm finding this to be a much better option.
Thanks for the review. Do you still.have this watch? I have the same model. Had the first one for years, done lots of hiking, swimming and everyday hard use, great watch. The lug issue has been blown up. It would take some massive force to break it.
I think that the lugs are pretty much holding the bracelet on, there for if the straps fall off is because they might not be on tight enough? I hope this helps a little. Have a great day. Thank you for video's and keep them coming. Thanks for the comment Bro.
I've had both of these Rangeman's for two to three year's and I've never had any problems with the lugs. It also can be from where and who your getting these from. I hope this helps. Please get back to me when you get this comment. Thank You for the video.
Michael Kish No issues with the lugs on mine yet either. When doing a little research on the watch I saw a couple of people mention it so I thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks for watching👍
I am planing to buy this watch in coming month and do u guys have any problem with lugs? And am i late for this watch in 2020? And can i use this watch for my daily wear? If answered i would be really helpful.
What I love about G-shocks (at least this one) is not that they look rugged to have outdoor look. They are rugged to do well in harsh conditions. It is functional watch resistant to all kinds of environmental extremes (mud, dust, water, temperature, hits...) and as a bonus it has pretty accurate timekeeping and good sensor data. It is outdoor watch that is menat to be used as watch no matter what you do. I am big fan of functional things, just because the form follows function does not mean it has to be ugly and this watch looks rather good.
NetAndyCz Well said and I have to agree. It's a watch that does its job very well and the fact that it looks pretty good is a nice bonus. Thanks for watching!
Hey, thanks for liking my comment. Got myself this watch recently, I always preferred waterproof watches, but for a long time I was without watch as I did not really needed them and replacing battery in waterproof watches is not something I would do myself, so I was surviving with phone. Was keeping my eye on G-shocks for a long time, but recently I realized I have to get a watch, and I wanted something that lasts and has some handy functions and this model is (for me) the best G-shock with affordable pricetag. If I did not have to worry about money I would have gotten the new GPS Rangeman, maybe one day, but for now I am super happy with this one and cannot wait to test it in all kinds of conditions:D And thank you for the review.
NetAndyCz The nice thing about these vs. the new is the price. I find the more I go up in price the more I'm worried about damaging it. Love the new version but this is a great value watch.
The lugz on mine fell out right away. Mind, I am not talking about the ones holding the band but the four silver ones on the top, pretending to be holding the face plate. They do not. They have no thread and seem to be there only for the looks. After lacing them with some Krazy glue I inserted them back into their holes . Been there ever since.
I currently have one, amazing watch. I will be leaving for army basic training soon, will this watch make it through? Just a little worried because I've read in many places about the problems it has with the lugs breaking. I'll buy another watch to take with me if needed, any advice would be great. Thank you
I've read the same but haven't had any problems and I've beaten it up pretty good. Cant make any promises but I can only speak from my own experience. I also recently picked up a GW M5610. It's in the GShock square line and also has the multiband function. It's a little slimmer and smaller so less likely to catch on something. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for watching and the best of luck at basic training. Take care.
I review alot of steel watches and the finger prints really show up under the studio lights. Guess it wasn't really needed on the Gshock but force of habit. I think the lug issue I'd read about wasn't very common.
The receiver don't work in that watch doesn't work right at all I send it back and got there prw 3500 and that thing works perfect it's very good watch I was very disappointed on that but I'll watch I was not going to buy another one

My bad on that one. Thanks and definitely a great watch.
Not a problem, have a great time wearing it.

Actually, it will receive only once, but will TRY 5 times, once every hours until it gets its signal.

Nice, the gw 9400 3cr is pretty cool in green. Really appreciate the kind words. Take care:)
I purchased the Rangeman 9400 and I love it. And Im not a big watch gut, but I had to get this one. Good video
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

Rey Maduro That GX 56BB is sweet BTW.
One of my favorites G-shocks in my G-shock mud man collection!! the army green with the negative face!
C Kush Yeah the Green version is sweet. Recently picked up a 5610. Loving that one too. Thanks for watching:)
Awesome watch. Excellent addition to the collection. The caseback are very cool on the GShock line. Nice review Bob!!

I don't but I did wear it lots when I did. At some point I'd love to get one again. Thanks!
What do you mean you’re not going to wear to work? I have a Frogman and Mudmaster, which are bigger watches and wear them to work all the time ☺️
I think that the lugs are pretty much holding the bracelet on, there for if the straps fall off is because they might not be on tight enough? I hope this helps a little. Have a great day. Thank you for video's and keep them coming. Thanks for the comment Bro.

@@ajaybhandari1566 yes, you can do all of these things. The lug issue is not that common.
I bought the same model but it came with a bigger manual and a special case and box its a really good watch.
I possibly had the wrong box. I picked this up preowned but it is a great watch.
@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces you may have the wrong box idk its funny the same watch and so many different boxes it comes in.

First time hearing of that happening. Glad you were able to fix it though.
Heard that happening on the GW-7900 all the time. Thanks for the heads up.
You got me good at the end! 😂
the end made me smile , thanks
Kareem Osman Hehe. I'm glad. Thanks for watching:)

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces thank you, I appreciate the fast reply. I might pick up a gw6900, I'm more of a round face kind of guy!
Renzo Vasconcelos Another great pick. Again good luck and thanks in advance for your service👍👍👊
Renzo Vasconcelos the lug problem is overblown
Is it resistant to low temperature
Hey I live in Toronto as well and just got the watch thx for the info it was definitely needed lol
Corey Vilon Cool. I'm a little West in Burlington. No problem at all! Lots going on with this watch! Enjoy it:)
Got this watch on order so excited. Any update on failing lugs?
Bilko Prince So far so good with the lugs. Enjoy it, it's such a cool watch. Take care:)
Bilko Prince how much you paid for it?
Sorry sir ..i wanna ask about pairing u told about...what is it?
I think you mean bearing which is the direction you want to go with the compass.
Why are you wearing white gloves to review your watch. I've never had a problem with mine as far as the lugs and I had mine over 5 years
I review alot of steel watches and the finger prints really show up under the studio lights. Guess it wasn't really needed on the Gshock but force of habit.
I think the lug issue I'd read about wasn't very common.
Im looking this model.i found s good deal, but it is big....its a cool watch! Im not sure .... my wrist its just 16cm
It is very big. Very cool watch. My wrist is 18cm and I even found it to be pretty large.
Casio mudman g 9000 its a great option
@@msp459 I have that watch too. More affordable and wears much better than the Rangeman.
Love it!!!
Thanks J. Always good to hear from you. Take care:)
Hey mate, what's your wrist size?
It's 7.25 inches
@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces thanks
How much did you pay for the watch?
I actually got this preowned for around $125 usd if I remember correctly.
Awesome!
Finally got mine in a positive display had a negative display Rangeman its so much Easier to read the segments on my positive Rangeman now!
The receiver don't work in that watch doesn't work right at all I send it back and got there prw 3500 and that thing works perfect it's very good watch I was very disappointed on that but I'll watch I was not going to buy another one
Can I buy it off you?
Sorry. Let this one go a few months ago.
@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces Ok, thank you.
I searched for this video again solely for the joke at the end.
Lol. Forgot about that😅👍
nice gloves
Elmer Garcia Hehe. Thanks:)
nice gloves
