G-Zilla! | G-Shock Rangeman Solar GPS 200m Quartz GPR-B1000-1 Unbox & Review

[@LeShark75]

This is an amazing watch. I've been using mine for the past year even more so over the past five months since I was made redundant. I've dragged it on walks everywhere, its a really great companion on a 10 mile walk I do. I do not use this watch with a phone, I've manually input way points directly using the watch so I can easy back track and get to specific locations. Its a beast, love it.

[@buck8094]

I've had mine for a month and a half now and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, it's a MAN'S WATCH for sure.

[@GMann_007]

It’s big but once it’s on your wrist you will appreciate the beauty. Heck I am driving this daily. It looks good with my business attire. Thanks for your video.

[@ogdon2009]

That warning is also present on my GBD-H1000. After weeks of research, I found a Chinese forum where a user explains the reason behind the warning. Rechargeable Lithium batteries typically have a power management circuit embedded in the battery to regulate charge cycles. Casio’s rechargeable batteries do NOT have this circuit and instead rely on the power management system in the motherboard. Several pictures of a disassembled GBD-H1000 confirm this. So, if the battery goes below a minimum charging level, the watch will not be able to power up again, let alone charge. Replacing the battery won’t help either because power for the watch is controlled by the motherboard, which is now virtually dead. Take care of your watch and make sure to always keep a little bit of juice in it.

[@MikeG-js1jt]

Does the watch get its time from the GPS satellites?.... that would make the GPS functionality really worth having GPS in my opinion

[@hectthorno584]

Yes the watch can use either the Phone either the GPS to set it's time

[@RostonMathias]

I guess this rangeman is bigger than my mudmaster..Looks awesome though

[@rustyspoonss]

I've had this watch for just over a year now, i use most features on it a lot, including the gps, i fully charged it once i got it and i only had to charge it up one bar again last week but i think that was because it wasnt used as much and not as much light in the winter.

[@keirawisnu]

not too deep but super informative review. love your channel. this watch is so sick even wanted to buy for the look only. LoL

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Thank you sir!

[@Sofiaeurope]

This is good with the buttons they've done , you know why? For example if you are doing push ups , guess what buttons will be pressed by the wrist. You can use GPS 3-5 hrs a day without any problems, if the weather is sunny this watch will charge from 3 bars to 4 for 30min-1 hours I did experiment with mine Yesterday . It jumped from 3 to 4 bars even when i was using gps . In sunny days no problem you can be able to use it even longer than 5hrs. It looks like Casio put very powerful solar inside Actually it does not have any negatives .

[@maverickwatchreviews]

It's actually still way too big for practical use but to each his own.

[@alphagor]

For the charging notice, that is simply the characteristics of the lythium batteries. If it's over-discharged (for quite a lot of times, a few over-discharge won't hurt), it can loose battery life and even die eventually. If your battery dies and you cannot charge it, take it to an authorized retailer/repair and they will replace it.

[@heliopijpe]

The Wolverine of watches ^^

[@Mark-OutWest]

7:29 the display isn't bigger. You can't count the solar ring as the display.

[@chentequilichini7182]

awesome watch!!

[@chentequilichini7182]

mine is on the way!!

[@simoncrawford350]

Top watch I reckon as well, but as you said if a bit smaller it would be great!! However saying that, just wore mine for a full week and really surprised with the feel (worn a quad sensor Gulfmaster for the last year, so the only real difference is the height I guess) but still it wore ok in my opinion👍🍻 Great overview and thanks for sharing 👍🍻

[@richardshaw1968]

Interesting if you can pitch this up with the Protrek F30. I have a F20, which is a great tool, if only it had the solar charger like the G Shock.

[@nphare]

Second that. Love the Protrek line and the new functionality is amazing. But without Tough Solar? Pass.

[@SEVILLAETERNA]

Hi Maverick. Please, can you recommend what would be the best G-Shock watch for you and that it has sapphire crystal and Compass? I want to buy a very reliable G-Shock that lasts for many years. Thanks in advance. !!!

[@NesKidSkeet]

that intro volume though

[@gwuck]

does the altimeter only rely on barometric readings or does it also take information from the GPS? I find barometric altimeter pretty useless.

[@kienfung3045]

If it had vibrafunction like the GD350 i'm sold.

[@ErikN1]

I would think GPS would be way more accurate than the app unless the crystal is so unstable that it's way off between GPS receive. GPS time is after all accepted for stratum 1 time servers. How accurate is the time the app synchronizes? Does it take transmission delay into consideration? Anyways, cool watch!

[@cl4586]

You’ve become my favorite watch reviewer.👍👍👍

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Thanks so much :)

[@typerightseesight]

i friggin want this watch. but i duno if i could lose analog for it.

[@champagnejunior]

if you dont use gps you can use watch all time in airplane mode on ??? for save battery ?

[@doctoruttley]

Don’t have to worry. Even with some GPS here and there a few times per week, I have never gone under full charge. The solar really does a great job at keeping it topped up.

[@chentequilichini7182]

Love thet that beast!

[@asaruxiii3026]

Sorry but what does it mean when you say hackable?

[@MyPlaces]

I live this watch

[@YouTubeCommentator.]

Are there any g shock or pro trek models, who's gps would work without signal/reception?

[@supersix3801]

wish the date format could show dd/mm

[@riccccccardo]

I look forward to when they have a smart g shock watch preferably with a colour screen.

[@edmund8954]

Then i dont think its really a gshock haha,maybe a protrek wsd10-30??

[@ementul]

That time had come :) gsw 1000 :)

[@TheBogdanator]

They do have a smart g shock

[@briandonnelly3052]

I'm trying to decide between this watch and the MT-G.

[@PhantomTD]

I dont ubderstand why you want it to be solar only? It can work as normal with just solar, even som gps points. But i can also be charged up quickly if you need continual gps over time. To more ways to charge the better, with solar beeing the main solution.

[@jonjackson8811]

He means if it's just solar you know for a fact you don't need any other method of charging, which means they brought the energy requirements down and the efficiency up. You wouldn't add an additional USB charging method to the old Rangeman or any other watch where it wouldn't be absolutely necessary.

[@odenirongiant]

I love the size. It's a man's watch.

[@temujinadonijah6365]

Hi, is this model supposed to light in the dark when I use the scroll wheel? As it's terrible when I'm struggling to have back light on when I'm trying to use a feature but cannot see as light keeps going off when I press a button, and doesn't light up as I scroll

[@zoultronzoultron9723]

I wish they made the light come on when scroll. But it doesn't.

[@TheEbelekgubelek]

Yet you did not review one most inportant function of the watch, gps display screen

[@mountainhobo]

Can you use GPS to sync time and date for your time zone at a push of a button (without going through endless menus) without having GPS function enabled all the time? I assume this function can figure out where you are (GPS).

[@taphillips75]

Does it link directly to satellites or does it need a cell tower of some sort to transfer the info?

[@tomistrawberry1299]

@@taphillips75 straight to satellites

[@panjiwira2733]

best master of g in your opinion?

[@ultimatedouchebag6760]

I have owned this watch for a few months and can tell you it suck big dikks. It never can link to the satellite without issues. Its like owning a hammer and sometime it works. Dont tell me its not a navigation watch... when there is a big print "NAVIGATION" on the band in CAPS.

This watch operates just like my gbx 100 the only extra is the GPS and ABC sensors I like that its solar and it can be charged with the dock

[@timtimkthy2945]

Can I track how many miles I run ? Or mileage time with this ?

[@zoultronzoultron9723]

Yes it shows miles and time . It shows miles 1.1 1.2 1.3 and so on

[@GotSawst]

Does this have atomic clock?

[@doctoruttley]

No, it uses gps time instead.

[@stpan8582]

Bro this watch pair video give

[@Ariozo111]

Love the Rangeman, and the Size is one thing i like about it..:) I am small/medium wrists, but Love a big watch...:) Maybe i am stupid, but i do use it as daily driver and damn it has gona thru hell and still looking 100%. Been on Gamin Fenix series for years and back then when 3HR and 5X was out most think that is Big, but Rangeman make that looks small. :)

[@zoultronzoultron9723]

Im same . Bought because of size and wear it daily.

[@doctoruttley]

Same, daily watch. Use my GMW-B5000’s for dressing up. Rolexes in the safe. 😎🤘🏻

[@waleedseyadi9412]

Is this watch good for runners?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

No, way to big & heavy.

[@waleedseyadi9412]

Maverick Watch Reviews thanks.

[@rayquintanilla614]

What...doesn’t have a flux capacitor!

[@haroldresnick6058]

Great watch & very good review. I own both this Rangeman & the original Rangeman. I also bought the Frogman, which I mention for a reason. The major criticism I have against the original Rangeman is that it's not made in Japan. The Frogman and the New Rangeman are both made in Japan, and both have a much better build quality, with the Frogman being the toughest watch I'll ever own. One thing that Casio should have done with the new Rangeman is pack a small hard plastic case for the wireless charger, as I would hate to damage it if I have to bring it with me, like when I go on vacation. The other thing is the solar charging needs to work faster to charge the entire watch, particularly when GPS has been used. If the old Rangeman was made in Japan, the stores that sell them wouldn't be able to keep them in stock. I don't abuse my G-Shocks at all, but I have had 2 old Rangeman which have given me problems.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@MrCarpen7er It's a longstanding perception that the Japanese factories put out a better product. You're clueless for not knowing this and now you're happily blocked! Enjoy the ban asshole!

[@jonnyappleseed2282]

[@angelomartinianodonascimen9414]

How many days does the battery lasts before recharging?...as in like when you're not using the GPS or Bluetooth

[@easternzone7869]

Angelo Martiniano do Nascimento Ferreira Approximately 458 days without solar recharging .

[@fractalofgod6324]

Just get a mudman and hand held GPS

[@maverickwatchreviews]

That's a great idea! This watch is just not evolved enough yet.

[@marvellgilmore1024]

I agree with the one guy just get a a mud man the hell would being hooked with GPS so they know where you at at all times he'll know.

[@YourOfficialDailyAmerican007]

I see your point. But sometimes it might be nice to get found.. just throwing it out there. Only for special occasions

[@RickRoood]

Can you change temp from C to F?

[@RickRoood]

Oh you showed it. Fixed it on mine thanks bud. Good video

[@dltraining6044]

You can do through the watch or the app.

[@minguyen-rl7sn]

WHAT? PHONE FINDER?!?!

[@mareknowakowski1692]

Yeah,works great!

[@harleycross4170]

Actually doesn’t. Works on Bluetooth and you need to be in same room. What’s the point of needing to find phone, if it’s in same room 🙄

[@justiceforall1288]

What? No Push-to-Talk Walkie-Talkie Feature? For a watch that big, why not? Just saying! Wow! That things is nice, but HUGE! Let me lift some weights to make my wrist bigger so I can wear that thing! lol

[@guess38]

In Australia Harvey Norman a shop are selling it for $1000 I know G-shocks are great but can it chance to a custom face for that it price better and has this got a heart beat sensor and a sleep sensor

[@iggynor5007]

Never saw G-shocks in Harvey Norman, do you have a link?

[@rustyspoonss]

I suppose it depends what you want from your watch

[@Smokeshow767]

Did they have to make the watch that big?? Cool watch but way too big and pricey for my taste. The other Rangeman size is perfect

[@tomistrawberry1299]

It requires a big battery because of navigation function

[@Gadgetdad007]

You have not reviewed any Garmin watches. 😱

[@slyke30zx]

It’s still 💸💸💸a lot money

[@marvellgilmore1024]

When the shtf you sell the watch 4 piece of bread I had to first rangemen. It was all hype if you want all those features just buy a project watch. Save your money 2021 the probably going to have a new range men.

[@iba9121]

I saw a thermometer listed in the details but didn’t see it in the list on the watch when scrolling. I was interested to see if it’s actually accurate. I’ve had watch’s in the past that need to be taken off and basically untouched for 10 mins before it’ll give an accurate outside temp and not being influenced by it touching the wrist. Also, a possibility that if it runs completely out of charge it’s just junk?? I had two g-shocks lasted me 6 yrs. one is still alive. This seems useless. Anytime you can’t spend a week or two in the woods without having to worry about recharging then that’s a problem. Ya I know it’s solar charging but I see issues happening regardless. 1.4 yrs just at “rest” down to 20 hrs continual gps use?? Nope. I guess you could make it work but I’d expect more reliably for $800. A cheap gps and an older g shock would save you a lot of money and gain more piece of mind I guess. Actually pretty disappointing. I almost ordered one. Just my opinion nobody asked for.

[@fractalofgod6324]

It's a power hog .....Solar power cannot keep up if you use it.....I got tired of charging it every day..... I went back to my GPW-2000 ....

[@wrightstuf73sw]

How do you manage to drain the battery everyday Mate?. you might have a dud, even when I use the GPS, when tracking my walks for a few hours dont even drain my battery to charge it everyday

[@tomistrawberry1299]

There has to Be something wrong. My gpr b-1000 havent lose even a one bar in 3 moths

lol

[@relikvija]

man, open it up completely, disassemble the shit out of it!

[@meseahunt]

glad I saw this review, going to pass on it, don't have time to do all that recharging after using its main purpose, one should just buy the protrek and save themselves $1400 if they just wanna charge every other day...... not a winner

[@JPMonstie]

Christian Hunt An hour of GPS can be sustain with just the solar charging. Otherwise, the watch can go forever on solar. The watch is available for about $1000Au, nowhere $1400 unless you’re getting ripped off. The 1.4 years of reserve is if there’s no solar input. Toughest GPS watch that can work solely on solar, so in fact, a big winner for anyone who uses GPS in the wilderness.

[@solidus1995]

Why would you buy this if you dont care about the gps function lol. It's not the most attractive gshock
