This is the only vid better than the original manual

[@SnohGraphics]

From 2024. I can't wait for my Rangeman. Thank you!

[@theautodriver4241]

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.

[@theanonymousfanatic]

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

[@JollyGiant1213]

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!😎🤙🏻

[@victormed18]

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

[@engels1978]

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!

[@kickingnstreaming]

Loving this from 2024- Just got my blackout model today and this is a lifesaver.

[@JLUnit416]

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

[@Sarrienne]

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!

[@WatchGeek]

Haha thanks, and I'll hold you up on that beer, if I ever visit UK 😀👍

[@freddykelly4405]

I should be receiving mine in a few days. Thanks to you I'll know a whole lot more about it. You the man💯

[@nickrodriguez6013]

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.

[@gigiundercover]

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!

[@WilfriedHKraus]

Bought the GW-9400 Y yesterday, both your tutorials are absolutely helpful. Much easier than the owners manual. thanks a lot !

[@Kouign1718]

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 !

[@norbert7297]

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

[@truthisbusiness1564]

this triple sensor is joke and i agree with you that sentence is brilliant :-)

[@norbert7297]

@@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

[@locotico71]

Best video I’ve seen explaining functions and settings. I always refer to your video to remind how to do a setting.

[@aircavmedic]

@@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.

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.

[@larrrevenga49]

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

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.

[@gian5602]

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.

Another great Video! My number on the case back has an "A" so I assume the watch was made in 2021.

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.

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
