I've had this watch for almost 2 years, it's a solid watch. The only drawback is the negative display is hard to read at times, but its not really a big deal to me, all you have to do is twist your wrist a little more, or less to make it more readable. lol I've gotten many compliments on the look of the watch by males AND females. After nearly 2 years of use, nothing is damaged, broken, or cracked. The watch still functions as new, the quality is excellent.

[@henrikpoulsen543]

stran ger What do you use it for? I’m in the army. Will it hold up?

[@misterman1371]

@@henrikpoulsen543 definitely. That what they are built for basically

[@ewandiyar6973]

I guess if it's harder to read it gives you more of an excuse to glamour at the beauty around your wrist XD

[@Ks-zz9lh]

Does it still work? I’ve got my basic gw 9400 and it’s still in perfect working order. Changend nothing on it. I even took it diving 30mtrs! Would not recommend: had moist inside the case and that kinda left a weird mark. But really I can’t complain it’s still in perfect working condition.

[@valmentube]

This is a great watch. I have this watch and I'm extremely happy with it. The cons aren't as bad. I can read my display in any lighting condition. If you are in a dark place than use your backlight. I've see the black version with positive display and is not as interesting as this watch is.

[@Watto22]

Can't even remember when my rangeman was that clean. Love the rangeman.

[@KISH351]

I did get mine. I like everything about this G-Shock. I like the LCD. It makes the watch look stealth. This is a very cool G-Shock. It fit's great on the wrist. I made this my everyday watch. I can't wait to start mountain bike riding and rock climbing. BAD ASS G-Shock!!!!!

[@DarylRagland-ds1op]

So stealthy you can't read it

[@woodentulike2no]

I have this watch. I like to think of it as my Stealth watch. No one else can easily see what is on the dial. I get more compliments on this watch than any other G I own. I think I have 12 at last count. Great watch!

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Kevin Myers Makes a great daily watch for sure.

[@woodentulike2no]

@@Itsmaikitosworld yes sir. Thanks for the great video, I like your style sir!

[@KISH351]

When I go out doors I put tape over the keeper so it doesn't get scratched or nicked. So far it stays on pretty well.

[@ewandiyar6973]

Same watch Chris Hemsworth wore in Extraction

[@chrisnzella]

I have this model and yes it's hard to read. Thinking of getting the positive display also.

[@omegacontrol9889]

The negative display looks so great on a youtube video. In real life it's so hard to see if you need glasses. In bright light it's ok, and need to turn it at different angles to see it. Also, that small window at the top, it's hard to read in that window especially with the lines going across it.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Yeah , negative displays are cool, but they are hard to read.

[@davidelliot1284]

Great down to earth review. I know some posters are just poking good hearted fun at this gent regarding the "you know" thing. But I think many folks are being a$$ ho1es about it. This dude is putting himself out there and I don't think he deserves to be made fun of. So, please give him a break! It's a good review. He sounds like a good friend giving advice. Treat him like one. Thanks

[@KISH351]

I'm getting this one in the mail soon. I am so stoked on getting this. This is a BAD ASS G-Shock. I do a lot of outdoors stuff as well as mountain bike riding. You did a great job on this video. Keep them coming. Thanks BRO. BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sswineamer69]

I already have the black Japan version of this one with the positive display but I don't really wear it out when I do outdoor activities. I was thinking of picking this green one up as it's on sale on a local shop for 220 and it's regular 349 in Canada. I love negative displays and it would be my everyday watch when fishing, biking & other activities I'm doing.

[@LexEllis]

The Rangeman is as close as you can get to having a Pip-Boy 3000 hehe :P Need one!

[@TheRushinConcussion]

That was one of my impressions about the watch as well! Great minds think alike haha!

[@brokenspear6604]

That's exactly why I want one haha

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Carlos, I think you would be more happy with the positive display, the best negative display I have personally seen on a g-shock is that one of the GD-350.

[@-onion-.]

Mike835@ COULD YOU DO A BLOG ABOUT GD-350 NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE PLEASE.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Blackblast72, The negative display is pretty decent, not bad at all, but for me the the positive display is great, easy to read at the first glance. I think a tool watch is best with a easy to read positive display.

[@SuperImmunologist]

Wears like a ga 100 1a1?

[@chaitanyabreed8149]

Mike835 is it mudristant

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Yes

[@pastrybaker72]

I wear the 6900 "military spec" (red on a negative display). I have to hold my wrist at an angle to read the numbers clearly, but, it's not an inconvenience. I've just ordered the Mudman military spec, as well. I've owned two Luminox watches and a Suunto. Neither watch could outlast the abuse I put my G-shocks through. G-shocks are as tough as a coffin nail.

[@BlueSky-qv7cd]

I have worn G Shock watches since the 80s, they are great watches, but what I don't like is none of the G Shock watches I have owned were designed to easily replace the batteries, like a Sunnto. And the positive displays are much easier to read, especially in low light conditions.

[@AdityaCasio]

Just ordered this watch off eBay!

[@villagranvicent]

Mike, great review, (excellent video quality BTW) I have the same model but your negative display is waaay more legible than mine, I can barely see the numbers and I am very frustrated about it, I wish Casio add more contrast to them! Thanks for sharing.

[@d.s.2789]

He had a desk light shining directly on it. If you shine a flashlight at it. It will look just like that

[@henryvinoth2006]

Mike you are a Super Star.., Enjoyed the detailed review of this GREEN RANGEMAN

[@josephchiarello11]

i own two of these guys and your review is right on the money!! nice job mike and thanks buddy

[@KISH351]

Hey Mike. I own the black one and this one in my collection. My soon to e wife wants one for her. I got her hook on G-Shocks. She wears my G-Shock 9300-1 and she wears our daughters G-Shock. Great video's and keep them 👍 coming. My collection is getting big and hers too.

[@qfina]

I just bought this watch, and to be honest I think I should have gone positive display. The watch is really hard to read, I have to use the light all the time to see the small details. For those that asked, it's slightly darker in the flesh than in this video, it's closer to the colour shown at the end on the wrist, but just another shade or two darker again.

[@YOUTUBEISRANBYRETARDS]

I think the 9400 -B has the better negative display and the light really works well. If i am really concerned about watch band colors i have several i can change over. The rangeman 9400 is mud resistance. If you hate the neg display just buy the regular positive display and buy the olive green band.

[@MrXandi73]

In certain angles you can read the display, but its terrible to read indoor.......In the light is beautiful to see the orange digits...

[@TheAmbSteve]

Nice review Mike. I just ordered this one today and I'm excited about it coming in.

[@theRealAV8r]

Great video as usual - nice clear visuals and explanations to 'demo' a G shock by. Certainly positive displays are inherently easier to read given how LCDs work. I do find though that all of Casio's new X-Large models have very good negative displays - the larger digits provide more space to allow light in. I have a G8900 and have minimal problems reading it at all even in lower light conditions compared to positives.

[@alexkid2437]

Nice looking Casio and even enjoying your reviews of Casio watches

[@MrSkyl1ne]

eeh you know eeh you know eeh you know

[@KISH351]

The LCD is hard to read, but you can use the light to look at the time. I think the LCD is very cool and easy to read, if I can't see it I use the very cool back light.

[@Frip36]

I have this model. It looks great but the readout is tiny and is overwhelmed by the giant case which blocks out the light. The whole effect is like trying to read fine print in a shadow. My display is positive. Which helps the problem a little bit, but not much.

[@sarayuth05]

I have one, and I love it. However, I have a problem to replace a battery CTL1616, which is expensive. I now realize nonrechargeable G-shock is better in a long term. CR1616 is easy to find and much cheaper.

[@KISH351]

Hey Mike. What's going on. I have to say about the keeper's. I talked to my jeweler and he said he can buff out the scuffs. That help's. I do use this as my everyday time piece. Great G-Shock. I do plan on getting the GW-9400-1. For now I'm in the NBZ. Which means No Buying Zone.

[@KISH351]

Mike835 was saying something about the metal keeper. Most people aren't going to like what I'm going to say. I own the same watch and this is one of the best G-Shock's out there. Like any watch with wear an tear the keepers are going to get scuffed do to outdoor activities. This watch is built to handle everyday wear. The keepers will get beat up. The only thing that I can say is only wear the watch as a dress watch only. I do agree with Mike835. This is a BAD ASS G-Shock. Great job on the video.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Yeah, these have fancy metal keepers, they scratch easy, if you wear the watch like an outdoor watch, its inevitable.

[@KISH351]

Mike835 This watch is inevitable. I plan on getting the black one too. I'm so stoked.

[@gshockboy2290]

Amazing wrist-shot!!! It seems to fit your wrist simply perfectly! ;)

[@ADNoland]

Thanks for this review. I was really digging that green look of this watch and found an amazing price on it as well, but my main concern was that negative display and how readable it would be.

[@mrod3832]

Pros: very rich functionality, like, probably, nowhere else. Cons: 1) bulky, 2) no 1 sec increments or autorepeat for countdown timer.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Love it my self, nice watch.

[@steviedee71]

I love the negative display wish they put it on the black version to give it that blackout look!

[@stormycliffs]

+Steviedee 73 look for the gw9400 bj-1jf

[@gillscape]

Great video. Thanks a lot for telling so much about my favourite watch.

[@Mr6pax]

I agree with you about this watch, I have the same color, but I was frustrated with the back light, it's very hard to read and the metal piece on the back gets easily scratched. So I stopped wearing it.

[@IronLordFitness]

Video quality is awesome! What do you use to film? Thanks!

[@carzoparazzo9698]

Its a beautiful clock, I think is one of the cheapest g shock that comes with triple sensor and multiband 6. It was a nice review, thanks.

[@zackamanda9799]

Great review , I bought the black one first , then had to have the green one , so I bought it too. I got a great deal on both at Macy's just before Christmas. They were 25% off $300.00 ($225.00 each). I love negative display watches , I have many. I think the reason for the negative display on the green watch not being easy to read in low light is that it is slightly orange in color. The white negative display watches are easier to read in low light. I have a orange color negative display analog/digital aviation watch that is also difficult to see in low light. There great outside in the sun.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Thanks, The Rangeman is a very nice watch, very feature packed.

[@davem.2788]

What camera are you using to film? VERY clear!

[@ashishtalwar1438]

Loved the review, I just ordered it in this colour. Thanks man.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Thank you, and enjoy.

[@livinstunn6151]

Nah... positive display would have taken away the aesthetics of the beautiful olive green with negative display :-)... looks good as it is... only thing is the metal keepers though, would have liked a scratch free option... very nice review!

[@adam_g.]

Livin Stunn yes you alive

[@Baitullmaqdis]

the rangeman help me a few times in my jungle missions .. a good and reliable watch

[@zocave]

oh really? i have one but i don't how to use it.. damn

[@kross777rlsh9]

Nice review !!

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Thanks Kross.

[@silverfoxx5]

Wish G-Shock made a black on black version of this (black band with negative display) without it being the expensive carbon fiber model. The OD green is nice but I'm sure this same model only in all black would sell.

[@mrspine4405]

LOL I was welding in this watch. Just a few spots on glass from sparks. But they got polished after a few weeks. And no, you don't have to be careful at all. THAT IS A TOUGH WATCH - if it doesn't have scratches - means you don't use it's fully potential.

[@kaushikvyas7582]

Wow this colour really looks good

[@chrisgarbe5326]

Hello I just subscribed. I was hopeing you can answer a question. 1: Where did you get your watch, i see it has the bigger box, mine never had that. Do you know of any legit or good places to buy them from, and how much did you buy your for. Any cheaper then 300$? Thank you, looking forward to some more vids!! Great Job

[@MrXandi73]

I have this RANGEMAN and i can read the graph pressure in the light.I like this model, but i would like to have a green jelly mode, but its very expensive.

[@zarcilla]

yeah the buckles tend to scratch very easy... just realized that when i saw this video and quickly looked at mine... boohoo.. its OK! i use it for long range shooting anyway. very good watch. reliable in case you don't feel like carrying around kestrels or other weather stations all day.

[@TheFrog767]

A nice point about the screen 🍻🍻

[@sumitsarangi4211]

Extraction movie hero watch 😉

[@negotiator6260]

Shhhh

[@jonirwin7316]

The metal keeper is so easy to polish. It's a G Shock! It's tough. Stop worrying about a scratch! All watches will get marks. Most can be removed with little effort.

[@kenton6093]

Could you do a review of the rangeman with a zulu/NATO band, mixing the black and olive colored bands and watches respectively please? I'd like to get the watch, but I don't want to make a 300$ regret.

[@Kyle_harris]

Kenton jaysandkays made a video about that and I found it helpful and I feel the same way about that kind of stuff

[@Anaconda-squeeze]

I bought the rangeman with the positive display...I had a gshock with a negative display and I HATED IT!!!!!! It annoyed my so bad and I ended up giving it away...

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Yeah positive is best for me.

[@bling7997]

Hello, i just want to say something about the metal keeper and the Mudman. This is one of the reason why i changed my strap on the GW-A1000 with the Combi-bracelet strap on the same model(black, not the dark blue one). I was doing the same u`r talking about "sliding all day"...it`s kind of annoying! It`s a very expensive watch, and this is a failure for the watch! I`m thinking that even the GW-A1100 model don`t have the same stopper...The other reason that i change the strap, is the scratches all over the metal, made from, touching the bottom of a pool...i was pissed off, the watch was new (about a month)... About the G-9300, the Mudman, yes it`s hard to press the buttons, but is one of the best and comfortable watch`s that i used to have, more comfortable even from the GW-A1000 with the combi bracelet, and the color is very nice and not tamped for the eye like the GW-9400 (my opinion). Thank you and good luck! :)

[@ericsligar6582]

My one gripe with this watch is the gap between the case back and the bottom edge of the sensor function pusher.

[@Bulshitero]

Is this the same watch that is on Amazon for $189, it looks really cool.

[@istvantoth7431]

What's your wrist size mate??

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

over 7.

[@dubby46]

Brilliant.thanks now i really want one.

[@joachim689]

Hi Mike! Is the wrist band on this product durable as well? thanks

[@donutswithsprinkes]

nice video mike

[@spits55]

I like my GW-9400 (Olive green) It is a bit bulky but the negative display SUCKS!!!!, you can not see anything unless you are in a well lit area or you turn the ambient light on and you will have to click on every 3 seconds.

[@ItsMeEbby]

Nice video. Mine comes tomorrow.

[@anthonyaguila938]

how much did it cost and from where did you buy it ?

[@ph1lo]

Black or green? I really can't decide! If the green one had a silver light button I'd def go for that, but the black looks more metallic and cool. I've a red and black Mudman 9300 so it maybe makes sense to add a different colour to my collection. I'm also concerned that the green one will look bigger on the wrist. Any advice people? Thanks for the review!

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

The green is very cool, but honestly the black is very easy to read, makes a more useful tool watch, after all the Rangeman a function based watch.

[@Backblast72]

Awesome video Mike like always very informative. I have been looking at this particular G-Shock for quite some time. I am an avid collector of CASIO's Pathfinder and Protrek line of ABC watches. This of course being Casio's first triple sensor G-Shock is really cool. I have been leaning more to the model you just reviewed but the only question I have is how clear is that negative display? I have the GX56-1ADR and if I wear the watch on a cloudy day, I always have to use the illumination feature on the watch to see the readout on its display. I don't want to pay $300+ dollars on a watch which I can see the numbers. So if you can help me with that information I would highly appreciated. If the display is hard to read then I will purchase the positive display version of it. After all it will have the same module in it. I want to thank you in advance for your time and patience regarding this matter. Very Sincerely, Backblast72

[@trockk98]

Where did you get the watch holder? I need a few of those for my g-shocks.

[@loghome7061]

Just got the 9400-1 and was thinking about exchanging it for this one. Is the positive or negative display easier to read with bad eyes?

[@Danilo-jx8du]

Hello there friend! I dont know if Im seeing it correctly! May I ask is the numerals a little brownish in color??

[@randellenon896]

Good Day!anyone can help me how to get original straps for this!thanks!im from the Philippines by the way.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Have you check ebay? or pacparts.com?

[@mc50992]

Thank you for the very nice review and the very nice shots of the watch. You cover lots of things that people may have questions about. One thing that I'd like to suggest is that you try to practice not say "ummm" "uhhhh" and other "word whiskers" because it makes it difficult to listen to what you're saying. You can look up exercises online to curb this behaviour. It would be a nice investment in yourself in you enjoy making videos.

[@d2a1n]

should i trade my black one for this? i kinda like this one now

[@1983gogators]

Mike... You mention the metal keeper getting scratched; having to be extra careful so it doesn't get scratched. This watch was made for the outdoor extremest and/or person who isn't going to worry about a small blemish on the keeper. Its functions and securities like being water and shock resistance tell you that wearing the watch in outdoor, harsh environments should be safe. I see it all of the time....May I ask you something...why do you and so many others like you worry so much about LOOKS? I see how looks can play a role in personal style or preference, but beyond that, who gives a shit. This watch wasn't made for looks. Its was made for functionality! If you get a scratch on it, please don't freak out, I'm sure if you call casio, they will assure you that it won't affect the watch.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Your right, these watches are made to take a beating and keep on ticking, I mean, allot of us just do not buy them for function, style is a big part of G-shocks as well, the watches combine both things, G-shock 4 life! search for @miike835 on facebook as well.

[@worldhello1234]

If you start off with function first you'll find a lot of good looking bargains. If you go with the flow and target the most sought after collector's items first, you end up paying a premium just for the looks, which I did for the GW-5500-1ajf. It is jdm only, has the same module as the GW-M5600 but costs more than double the price compared by the cheapest available option.

[@avq5]

While extremely capable and functional these watches are absolutely designed with looks in mind. There are so many design elements of the g-shock that are purely aesthetic such as the beautifully complex, angular shape of the case, its polished bezels and the two-hole strap. Has a single-hole strap on a g-shock ever failed because it lacked the extra hole? probably not once, ever. With consumer products it will always be "form over function" if it means a more attractive product and higher sales. Casio is clearly appealing to the buyer who cares about the appearance of the watch.

[@David-rm2eq]

George Beaulieu . my thoughts exactly. MIKE IT'S A G SHOCK . NOT A ROLEX

[@carlblaskowitz7817]

This watch can be safely taken on a Mars expedition, strapped to the outside of the ship. That being said, if mike wants to display it in a nitrogen filled, backlit glass case, and take it out once every year to wipe it with a moist lens cloth.. this a an entirely valid application of this watch. Its a fully functional and rugged instrument that is also collected for its personal feels.. totally valid man, no different than the starbucks croud who buy a top of the line macbook, and promptly install Windows on it. Its their moolah, and their style expression right?

[@TheChroniclesOfFab]

do they make this watch in black wiht a negative display in USA? or only can import it form Japan?

[@kratos7678]

Thrilled just bought mine used in excellent condition for $78

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

Does it illuminate like all the other Casio watches? Do they sell this model in ladies version? I want this! I COLLECT Casio G shock watches.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

They do not sale a ladies version of this exact model but they sale the same colorway in ladies sizes.

[@Stucknthe80z]

Good review, may I ask how the quality is compared to a Suunto Core. Thanks

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

I could not help you on that, I do not own a Suunto core, sorry.

[@hersawex]

I don't own a Suunto Core, but I did touch it and feel it from a retailer. Personally, I don't like the Suunto Core Plastic feel. Its feel like cheap quality of plastic. Not as solid as Casio G-shock range. I do own a mudman and Protrek. My advice for you. Go to a retailer. Touch and feel the suunto core before u decide which to go with. Both suunto core and Casio Rangeman is a function based watch.

[@Itsmaikitosworld]

hersa wex Agree with you.

[@noneyabidniss4763]

You don't buy a G Shock to be careful with it. If you're a watch collector, just let it sit in your collection.

[@vakbrain]

Why buy an indestructible watch if you fear to scratch the metal piece on the rubber band?

[@Constantly1Shot]

Is there anyway to stop the watch from beeping every time you click a button? If im out hunting or in a situation where i cant make a lot of noise that beep could screw me.

[@КарлМаргинал]

Yes, u can turn that sounds off. See the manual

[@felipebaratafelipe]

Hi, do you think that rangeman is extremely large in comparison with ga100 ou dw6900? Did it looks disproportionate on yours wrist? I wanna buy it, but I'm afraid that it don't fit on my wrist. My wrist have 17 cm
