Evolution of G-Shock: From Vintage to Standard Digital to "Master of G" - Perth WAtch #64

[@adsagp]

Thanks for the video, I know it is an older video, but I have the Rangeman GW-9400-1 and love it. At the moment it is my daily driver. The others look good too.

[@PerthWAtch]

Nice one! Can do much more than be driven with :)

[@adsagp]

@@PerthWAtch hahaha, yeah, like telling the time too 😜

[@jonjackson8811]

Great video. You are a great communicator. The evolution instead of the Mudmaster had to be the GPR B1000. That's apples to apple. The Mudmaster is something else.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks! I reckon the GPR B1000 is just ridiculous in so many ways... the way it eats batteries for snacks, and that SIZE! But I suppose it is very much part of the "evolution" haha!!

[@ami5975]

I like the looks and analog hands of the Mudmaster. It would be much easier to tell the time at a glance especially with my blurry older eyes. However, I chose the Rangeman because I think the fully digital interface will let me straightaway read the various info and fully use all the features compared to the ana-digi style of the Mudmaster. With LED light, if I squint, I can still read the info without my glasses 😊

[@PerthWAtch]

Hard to argue against what you’ve said here but definitely can’t beat analog hands for quick time telling!

[@theheisenberg1961]

@@PerthWAtch Big fan!, question what did did you do to your GW9400 ? And where/how can I get the blue light

[@PerthWAtch]

I didn’t modify it… maybe it’s just the white balance on my camera that makes it look different?

[@ArmandoXGG1]

I get the G-7900-1 in Black and in Red, just love them both 🥰 This is the quintessential Casio watch. It had appeared in movies 13 Hours and End of Watch.

[@PerthWAtch]

How interesting - do watches get destroyed in “End of Watch”??

[@fisherpaykelauto6137]

Great videos on watches from your channel, I enjoy them very much, thanks. I have the gwg 1000 and the riseman. I found the gwg 1000 is quite big for my wrist but still bought it because it looks so cool as you said from your other video :) I wear the riseman everyday for work and also my early morning run, but it doesn't have a direct stop watch like the rangeman, and I found it annoyed that I have to go through the Mode button. Also it's quite hard to read the time while its stop watch is running. Do you think the rangeman is bigger in digital display than the riseman? I have seen the rangeman at the jewelry stores but I find it silly to ask them to let me have a look and compare to my riseman :) and then don't buy it. As you know they are always in full price while a lot of online stores are selling them around $300. Thank you. Bye the way, I am also another Asian Sandgroper here :)

[@PerthWAtch]

Hey thanks for that, always great to hear from a local watch enthusiast! Well, personally I wouldn't hesitate walking into Angus & Coote and asking to try the watch on... they are all staffed by employed salespeople, some of whom look like they don't want to be there, so they really won't care I reckon. Honestly, I don't think the Rangeman would be any different in terms of readability to the Riseman, the digits look identical in size, or perhaps only marginally bigger. Cheers, Ivan.

[@TechTokOffical]

Press and hold the "mode" button on the 5900. Does some cook things on the circles

[@PerthWAtch]

Yes it does

[@sowmya8201]

I like Rangeman 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@PerthWAtch]

Me too! :)

I am new into watches and even newer into G-shocks. But this summer I have got 4 of them. One is Rangeman 9400. It's a very cool watch with several useful features. I really like it. The only true drawback is the unnecessary flat backside, it's almost 6cm between where the strap starts to go down on each side. This hardly is necessary even for 20+cm wrist size. I have 17cm and it works good when I tighten the strap, though. This because the watch is so lightweight despite the size. But if you have less than 17cm wrist it may be too big, I think. I see the Mudman in the video is designed better, similar to the G-squad GDB-H1000-8ER, which is one of the other G-shocks in my collection.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for sharing that - I appreciate you taking the time to put those thoughts down. Do check out my full review of the Rangeman if you haven’t seen it already. Also, please note that the watch here is the Mudmaster - the Mudman is actually quite a different model.

[@xavisoloyo]

Nices colok'sBeautiful watches I have the G Shock Extreme, red, from 1989, they gave it to me, it was the first time sold in Mexico. I will buy a mudmaster for analog but Rangeman is also beautiful and has better light, I think in the end I will buy the gwg9400 greetings!

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for the thoughts - there is no such model as “GWG9400”.

[@felipejr.berenguel1674]

I just wonder, where could we buy the desert camouflage strap of the mudmaster? I wanted to change my mudmaster black strap.

[@PerthWAtch]

Unfortunately of all the Mudmaster straps the DC colour seems most expensive... Try Rakuten global, or failing that you're probably left with eBay. All the best!

[@Thermoman69691]

Great video.,,, have just come across your channel... have done a few reviews on mine including the Rangeman, which is just incredible;) Subbed you!!!

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for the positive feedback, and for the support - glad you liked the video! Cheers, Ivan.

[@ccooper8040]

Love my G-Shocks. So many features at great prices. Only downside is the alarms are not loud enough. A $30 Timex is 11 decibels louder. A one time missed appointment can cost big time.

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for the feedback - you're absolutely right about the alarm volume... I guess it didn't strike me as I have never relied on it as a sleep alarm. If you've left your phone behind and need a reminder during the day, I do find the alarm works fine for that purpose. But yes, waking me from sleep would be different matter!

[@jijoious]

Timex shock feature a vibrating alarm right ?

[@PerthWAtch]

Which I'm sure I can sleep through :)

[@ami5975]

😂

[@williambreeze2659]

The Rangeman

[@PerthWAtch]

Cool

[@locopatojo2]

Forgot to show a small square G like a DW5600 etc. still gave a like

[@PerthWAtch]

Thanks for that - I agree with the idea but actually I don't have one of those on hand, maybe could've just bought one! ;)

[@frankjaath1623]

There are digital screens, all with light, cloning, frame gg1000.

[@PerthWAtch]

Apologies, I really don't understand your question.

[@kevinc1001]

Go to the g shock website there's a $7000k G Shock lol.

[@PerthWAtch]

Oh wow, yes, the limited edition MRG-G2000... those models can be a bit crazy. Looks like that one is based on the same module as the new GravityMaster GPW-2000.

[@larvancioramos9748]

I bought only two, why should i buy them all??? I want someone experience the piss on feeling.

[@nardiecast9657]

GW 9400 Rangeman

[@PerthWAtch]

Is a good watch :)

[@sbsb4995]

Prices of Casio are getting more ridiculous.

[@PerthWAtch]

Some models... You can still get an F-91w for about $10, and the standard G-shocks sit around $70.

[@copythat10_44]

The Japan watches are outrageous. Thailand and China made are more affordable but still sale price $50-$250 / retail $100 -$300.

[@PerthWAtch]

Apparently living in Japan is rather outrageous... maybe that's why?

[@jijoious]

Especially those for the JDM version 😅

[@victoryline5689]

I never understand wanting a digital and analogue watch.

[@PerthWAtch]

Analog for instant time telling at a glance. Digital for the cool features that no mechanical watch can give you.
