G-SHOCK GPR-H1000! | THE ALL NEW RANGEMAN!

[@PhantomObserver]

About the lack of sapphire: the big problem with sapphire is that once it gets a hard enough impact, it doesn’t scratch, it shatters. A scratched plastic or mineral crystal still protects the display and movement which means the watch is still usable, but a shattered crystal means the whole watch is going to suffer further damage before it can be sent to Casio for repair.

[@stevenkelby2169]

Myth. It's cost cutting 100%.

[@spyder6423]

That's not exactly accurate with Sapphire. My rangeman previous version has mineral as well but there are plenty of companies on Amazon that make screen protectors three for five bucks. I bought about 20 of them and every 6 months I peel off the old one and put a new one on and my mineral crystal looks brand new.

[@LV-42617]

Myth indeed! More accurate a lie. Same as with WR, to make the watch industry sell higher priced watches.

[@benbrown9053]

How many people managed to actually shatter their sapphire glass.. if you're one of them, good luck. Go play the lottery and suck it up buttercup. You'd get struck by lightning before that ever happened! 😂

[@francischeefilms]

Yes, Sapphire can be more brittle than glass however, it depends upon the thickness and shape of the crystal. I use ordinary mobile phone flexible screen protectors (cut to size- see my videos/blog) to give that extra bit of impact resistance as I wear mine caving (GWG 1000) and snorkelling. The thing I don't like is the Biomass plastics, bad idea to fulfil woke concepts.

[@dylanlamarre3768]

Great analysis. I think you really hit the nail on the head about it's limitation in setting routes and waypoints while adding new fitness feature. The "Range"man should help the user with navigation first and foremost. I think it falls short of that, and the price hike goes to the fitness hardware that I don't need for adventuring. Ironically, while it's trying to get in the Garmin game, its adventuring features, which is G-Shock's home turf, are actually worse than the Garmin Instinct 2X.

[@flynndean]

A Rangeman 9400 that kept true Tough Solar, Multiband 6 and added the MiP is what most fans wanted...a sub-Garmin, tethered Transformer with a heap of Fitness Features incl. the hugely draining and bulky HR Sensors is what was delivered. They've done the same with the new MiP squares as well (Im looking at you H5600!) - What fans wanted was a 5610 but with MiP, what we got was a chunky Fitbit but with a worse App/Ecosystem. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@milaweitz]

I would say it is fluffy 😃 Way better to wear than King Kong GPR-B1000

[@LV-42617]

I couldn't agree more, Casio simply lost it....

[@robertfeast7691]

This is a great. Fantastic legiblity and functionality.

[@BJSteigner]

I heavily train on that watch...It's great for exercise and people who play sports.

[@SKQS88]

I got this watch for the fitness features. I have a 9400 Rangeman but wanted some fitness tracking packed in as well. Always been a GShock guy so I don't want to go to a Garmin.

[@chulbulvikas1635]

Cool looking watch ⌚️ ❤

[@ulan19840621]

I stick with my 9400 with good old quick stop watch and light buttons!!!

[@marcusoroberts]

Great review thanks. I bought the yellow version and my comments are; the altimeter is massively inaccurate by hundreds of feet everyday and needs constant calibration. The barometer information is set to 'On' but keeps switching off. Strange symbol above the Tidegraph and not figured out what it is. I've calibrated the Barometer and that is now very constant. The yellow colour looks fab, but is picking up black stains on the left like crazy (I do wash my clothes!). If anyone has answers to any of these gripes, I'd love to hear back!

[@spyder6423]

The altimeter in it is barometric pressure-based. If you are moving up and down in altitude a lot then its baseline changes and it requires calibration. The barometer in it works best when you are not having rapid elevation changes. The idea was that you could set the barometric pressure and zero it at the beginning of your hike and it would be accurate altitude readings. The altimeter and the barometer run on the same sensor. More expensive altimeter barometer systems use GPS altitude confirmation. Long story short, the watch itself unless it has a system that uses GPS to confirm, doesn't know if the pressure is changing because of weather or because you're going higher and lower in altitude. Also, The barometer turning on and off is the severe weather notification. When you activate it, it will monitor the barometric pressure every 10 minutes instead of every hour to notice for weather changes, but it defaults to off after 24 hours.

[@WolfOfJustice]

Ah yes, the very first RangeGIRL. The GPR-B1000 is what a RangeMAN should be.

[@pparmar40]

This watch is not big at all. If you buy the black one it does not look big at all compared to the yellow one as it stands out. 😊

[@franciscvarga1212]

same as the GBD-H2000 with different exterior look. very disappointing. its more a fitness watch than outdoor, waypoint and real gps is missing.

[@nishantverma7200]

Can you have phone notification like WhatsApp, Email, Calling in this via the App ?

[@CN_1908]

Xiaomi Amazfit Huawei

[@teomai]

Overall the watch is good. But, Bluetooth and the fitness function (I agree with you on this, the fitness thing) should be just on the G - Squad model. One thing that I wish for, is the display technology making to others models and with a positive display too.

[@TwoMinuteWatches]

How would this fare on a 6.25 inch wrist do you think? Love it, but worried about the size!

[@nanthilrodriguez]

I want just the fitness bits in a slimmer watch with the same rectangular digital aesthetic. Why is that so hard.

[@ishanjoshi1350]

I have a GBD-H1000 that i bought on pre-order in 2020. Could you compare this watch against that ? Some of the things I noticed from the review was the fact that this watch has multi-activity tracking and sunset-sunrise feature. It doesnt feel like it has any sensors additional to the GBD. Then why does it support multi activity tracking and my watch doesnt ?

[@Baruch-Hashem]

Thank You. Love it ! Not for me. Glad to see Casio using the MIP display, hopefully it will replace the LCDs across the line up.

[@Darkangel-sw9lm]

MIP is shit. You can’t read them indoors. This is why Garmin users are selling off their Fenix’s and switching to the Amoled.

[@devenderbutani80]

Cool looking watch!

[@Ordinary-Hendrik]

Thank you! I found the cardio load status in the watch is completely different with the one in the phone apps. It is strange . Do you have the same problem?

[@lymon800]

i find myself being held back by what the website describes as "solar-assisted" charging. i tried to read the online manual and it says the watch would not be fully charged by solar power alone. so how "solar" is it really? i wouldn't want to have just another gadget i would need to charge every other day. incidentally having to do that wouldn't be quite in line with its positioning as a survival tool.

[@PhantomObserver]

Basically, the timekeeping functions are the only features that can be fully charged with solar power. Anything involving GPS or heart sensor functions would need the external USB charger.

[@andyblue001]

H1000 is the one you are looking for, thats why I did not get H2000 or either this gprh1000, due to battery concerns, with my H1000 almost 3yrs now never have to charge again, 24/7 step tracking also bluetooth always on as long you dont use too much gps and HR, this is the best watch if you want a watch with step tracker and sync witj google fit and no need to charge, just expose to a 30-40watts bulb for 10-15min a day or go outside walk for 30mins on a sunny day then you will never need to charge again..

[@brunocraighero2460]

Looks good, I will prefer a cleaner look (not the Transformer's Bumblebee look), it has a lot of functions, and it's a good thing. MIP display, good. BUT, it's like slapping a Big Mac on the wrist, 20 mm are really hard to digest. Mineral crystal? Come on Casio, you can do something better for 500 bucks, at least include a couple of screen protectors in the box!

[@2MenEQ]

Curious... The charger... When the watch is fully charged, does the watch no longer charge? I have it connected, but it doesn't seem to be charging. The watch battery indicator is full, though. Hmmm...

[@sagarpandita6916]

@2MenEQ yes it won't charge if its fully charged with a charger. Protects the watch for over charging. Happens the same with Garmin, once fully charged it won't charge with solar too till battery comes down a certain percent.

Battery life? How to charge? Solar?

[@JoeZUGOOLA]

Solar and a charger for when you use all the sensors and GPS for extended periods

[@이웃집고양이루루]

Do you have to charge this watch everyday? And how long is the battery life?

[@thatguyfrom275]

This is basically a GBX200

[@verykeen2please]

[@AlTheEngineer]

What's the battery life like? I am reluctant to buy a watch I need to charge on daily or weekly basis ... I've never had to really "charge" a g-shock before ... usually solar energy is enough to run them basically forever, how does this compare?

[@MrStirstir]

I have one- if you never use the heart rate monitor youll never have to charge the watch. If you use the heart rate monitor; gps features you will have to charge it depending on use

[@AlTheEngineer]

@@MrStirstir thank you, approximately how many times do you charge per month and how is your usage? Curious :) thank you!

[@MrStirstir]

@@AlTheEngineer I went on a two hour hike last week. It just lost one bar. I probably charge it once a month depending on hikes and length of hikes/runs. If you use it just as a watch youlll never have to charge it.

[@isthi000ify]

Amazing, please can you let us know if its tough Solar (day light/artificial light) or normal solar (sun light)? Also generally how accurate is the HRM? THANKS!!! ​@MrStirstir

[@-o-The-Duke-o-]

What a disappointment. I may be speaking just for myself but I am buying a G-Shock so that it will last through the collapse and provide me with information needed for survival. I'll stick with the GW-9400

Oh casio ....u know exactly what youre doing. Excellent marketing plan....get ready to release a better rangeman soon because you know it will sell

[@arvinvalencia9167]

I like your ring better than the g shock.. 😂😅

[@jesusizquierdo3831]

how's the battery life? can you turn off the fitness tracking to improve battery life? for example if you want to use it just as the old Rangeman but with a better display

[@georgeg1947]

Yes, if you turn off all the health and fitness features and also put the watch in airplane mode, the Bluetooth will shut off completely and the Rangeman will never ever need any charging and the watch will solely be powered and run only on the solar panel that’s underneath the crystal. The solar panel powers the time, day, date, stopwatch, countdown timer, world time, sunrise/sunset times, moon phase, compass, barometer, altimeter, all the alarms, the snooze alarm and the step counter. These functions that I just listed are powered 100% by the solar panel. You will never ever need to charge the watch with the USB cable when you set the watch up like I mentioned above and if you use only the features that I just listed above. I one the same gpr-h1000 Rangeman and I wear mine 24/7 and never charged it ever since I purchased it. The solar panel underneath the crystal charges the watch with the natural sunlight outside and with the ambient light inside the house. The only thing that you need to do is just wear the watch and let the solar panel do its thing. That’s it. You wear the Rangeman as a G-Shock just like you wear all other solar G-Shocks and you allow the outside sunlight and the indoor ambient light power the watch. You will never ever need to charge your watch if you do this. The only time that you will need to charge your watch will be is if you turn on the heart monitor and the oxygen sensor. Otherwise, you will never need to charge your Rangeman if you keep the heart monitor and the oxygen sensor off and the Bluetooth off. Keep the watch in airplane mode and wear it like a regular G-Shock like I do and your Rangeman will never need any charging. I hope that I cleared up everything for you snd answered your concerns and questions.

[@izwan100]

Great watch, but without GPS is only normal watch.

Whats rhe blody battery life and what you got a wierdbadvert at the end if it ?

[@cewotu7721]

It sure looks cool and rugged, but according to another channel that is where it ends! It is not nearly as rugged as the new Mudman (GW-9500) that has almost identical functionality of the first Rangeman (GW-9400). The lugs wear out fast, so be warned. Then there is the issue of slow reactions and "loading" the functions, and the necessity of pressing buttons anew every time you want to up or down a digit instead of being able to press and hold them. Just too many annoying quirks for a $500 watch. Then, who was asking for a connected fitness watch named "Rangeman"??? The stopwatch gets less precise for "legibility", as the MIP display is to slow for 1/100th of a sec.... The GPS is there - but not for navigation, as was the case of its predecessor (GPR-1000). The solar charging is there, but only for basic watch functionality, not for the main battery. This is so half thought through that I crossed if off my list of potential watches to own. But thanks for the video!

[@Eksoteric]

This watch is basically the same as the GBD-H2000, the only differences are the mud resistance buttons and the "tidal" information. Along with a different case. But the overall operational specs are the exact same. The Casio G-Shock Rangeman has dropped off since the GPR-B1000. That was the best one so far. But then I found out that Casio-Japan knew of a design flaw that causes the battery to drop off when it gets exposed to temperatures over 95 degrees F. Other than that flaw, that version of the Rangeman is the best. Save your money and buy the GBD-H2000 instead

[@FuglyStick]

First, at this price point there is ZERO reason to not have sapphire glass. None. And look, I don't own a G Shock with sapphire glass, and I think the mineral glass is fine, but none of my G Shocks are over 120 bucks either. C'mon Casio; why would you cut the corners here? There's no excuse. Second, my choice would still be a Mudmaster based on features. Casio is still not the choice for a fitness watch other than basic step counter.

[@flynndean]

You've never had a Sapphire watch shatter have you? It's remarkably easy to do! For it's intended purpose, I would argue that Mineral Display is the much better choice for an outdoorsman's watch as although it is more prone to light scratches, the scenarios in which a Mineral Display watch will keep working when damaged vastly outnumbered those of Sapphire Glass (if Sapphire smashes...it basically explodes and is no-more)

[@FuglyStick]

@@flynndean By that logic go with acrylic

[@flynndean]

​@@FuglyStick Sure, but then Mineral Glass has better transparency and MUCH better scratch resistance than acrylic at the expense of being SLIGHTLY more brittle. It's MUCH less brittle than Sapphire whilst being more prone to scratches - Let's call it the middle-ground. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I've had a very active job for ~20yrs (I'm having to slow down now) - trust me...when Sapphire goes, it really goes! If you're buying a G-Shock for it's intended purpose, you're going to value survivability at the expense of some scratch resistance (indeed...scratches on a G-Shock arguably make them look even better!)

[@FuglyStick]

@@flynndean Dude, I own 3 G Shocks, all of them have mineral glass. And I wear my G Shocks in the environment they were engineered for - I was wearing a G Shock when I lost a finger to the wood splitter 3 months ago. The issue of scratch resistance has never been much of an issue for G Shocks because their cases are designed in such a way as to limit contact with the glass; put a G Shock face down on a sheet of sandpaper and move it around and the bezel will keep the sandpaper from contacting the glass. But that same protection applies to a sapphire glass as well. If you are paying premium watch price, you should expect premium watch materials. And I'm going to guess that anything that will damage a sapphire glass in an over built g shock watch is going to damage mineral glass as well. I don't have time for this. Have a nice day.

[@pparmar40]

Mineral glass is much better then sapphire glass.
