Rangeman GPR-H1000 G-Shock review: The best, as always!

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

Just bought the yellow ! Also the GWG 20001A3 JF ! Thank you ! Waiting for the GPR H1000 !

[@mustseenow991]

I almost bought this, i loved how cool it looked, but i read some users had bad connectivity issues..great video btw.

[@He_isI]

The watch got an update. Buy it!

[@juanjesuspuentegarza5784]

Any issue with the yellow color? Is difficult to stay clean?

[@franciscochavollaalcala5909]

Yes, It is hard to stay clean, I can’t clean it, I tried with a lot of products, I’m tired.

[@KGB-FSB]

​@@franciscochavollaalcala5909yellow sucks. Return it or sell it

[@KonstantinosTsagkalidis]

9:09 . Very nice review. Their chargers are similar but not the same. I have both watches (GPR-H1000 and GBD-H2000) but each needs its own charger

[@gshockhighfashion]

Whoa, I a feeling thats the case since their size & design aren't the same. It is possible that only the top part that align to watch face aren't the same, but the connector pins is still the same? they looks similar. Imma need to buy one 🤔 damn Casio.

[@georgeg1947]

Kosta, how much did you pay for your gpr-h1000 and gods-h2000? Did you purchase them in Greece or in the USA? I own 3 of the gbd-h2000 that I recently purchased for $305 U.S. dollars each with tax and free shipping from a USA online jewelry website site. How much does each model cost where you live?

[@KonstantinosTsagkalidis]

@@georgeg1947 Hello George. GBD-H2000-1AER 435€ and GPR-H1000-1 520€ all from Greece

[@masterwatch]

very good highfashion.. I think all G-Shocks are made with very good build quality. single charger for all models is probably what they are planning.

[@mdh8623]

I WILL STICK TO THE FIRST GENERATION OF RANGEMAN

[@m2wdms]

Do you know how to fix the yellow rubber band turning black after wear?

[@georgeg1947]

There’s nothing that can be done about that. The yellow bezel and band will get stained no matter what. You will need to live with it.

[@weareallseedsofthesametree]

In G-Shocks I usually prefer Tough Solar + MultiBand6 (currently even wearing my 9400) while I dislike the frequent charging of my Polar sport watch. So this Rangeman might fill the gap. However it also says you should never deep discharge your tough Solar watches as this can hurt the capacitor fatally. With this Rangeman I fear it could easily discharge very deeply. Do you think this is a problem or do they use a different battery (which then in the other hand wouldnt last 10+ years)? Btw. I really like your videos 👍🏻

[@fabioricci-effeerreworld]

I think so... I bought the H5600 and the battery discharge very fast 😞 I think this Rangeman will do the same...

[@georgeg1947]

The new gpr-h1000 Rangeman doesn’t have the problem with deep discharge. The solar panel on the display works independently from the rechargeable battery that’s inside the watch. The solar panel powers ONLY the time, stopwatch, world time, timer, sunrise/sunset, moon phase and the step counter. So if you wear this watch and expose it to light and sunlight, you never ever need to charge it for using the functions that I listed above if you ALSO shut off Bluetooth. You can shut off Bluetooth by placing the watch in airplane mode. That’s it. The ONLY time that this watch will need to be charged is if you have Bluetooth turned on or if you use GPS or use any of the health and fitness features like the heart monitor and oxygen sensor. Otherwise, if all the health and fitness features are turned off and if you place the watch in airplane mode and if you wear the watch and expose it to light and sunlight, you will never ever need to recharge the watch. It will run forever on ONLY light and sunlight.

[@THEyahyaanna]

Could you please mention which seller from the buyee you choosed to purchase this gpr h1000??

[@ianstonehouse-vl8ip]

Been a subscriber for a while now always great content thank you for that. The Rangeman, Mudmaster & frogman are water resist to 20bar do you ever pressure test after one of your custom mods or even a simple battery change ? As that’s one of the major features of these “Gs” wouldn’t mine watching a video on that if possible. Wearing a GGB 100 myself

[@BJSteigner]

What function is that at the 6minutes 22seconds mark??

[@catalin1859]

Is the "special treatment" the lugs breaking if you sneeze ? 😂

[@KristianDowling]

Hi I have a question as I travel a lot. I need two time zones on the homescreen. Is there a watch face that supports this? thanks very much, enjoyed your channel since the beginning,. Cheers

[@mrk131324]

Any G Shock square will display the home time when you are in world time mode (or vice versa), as will all the Casioaks. Or just get an analogue GMT (e.g. Grand Seiko, Breitling, etc.).

[@KristianDowling]

@@mrk131324 you didn’t read my question correctly. I need them on the home screen. Why? Because I want the home time to still be the largest so there is no confusion. Many GShocks over the years had this feature

[@DexterHR]

Fact that it needs a charger is a no no. I’d choose old Rangeman over this one any time.

[@mwboost]

Depends on how you use it. Mine is on 4 bars still after a month. Have not used heart rate sensor or GPS for ages though.

[@bronkokulitscka8837]

Keine Ahnung aber davon dann Recht viel . Du brauchst das Ladegerät nur wenn du alle Funktionen gleichzeitig benutzt . Ansonsten reicht die solar .

[@DexterHR]

@@mwboost Yeah, but if you don’t use HR and GPS what is the difference between this one and the old one? 😁

[@mwboost]

@@DexterHR tide and moon, about it .. Haha. Only reason I went with this one. Only use all the extra features if I really want to.

[@amierulfaez3272]

I have no issues with this watch. Except the cheap elastic rubber feel. The system is quite improvise compared to my previous gbdh 1000

[@louiefulo7559]

hi! may i know how to turn off the bluetooth display (which is blinking) in the watch after i disconnect it to the phone?

[@XdB1Gz7StR4C7]

Absolutely cool video with great macro pictures. 👍👌✌👏💪💪

[@luigipreti2823]

Hi, you say it is a JDM but the buckle says CASIO Thailand. Does it mean that JDM might be assembled somewhere outside Japan?

[@jonathand827]

I think is just means it’s Japan only model, but doesn’t mean it was fully made in Japan.

[@moe3754]

Ordered mine yesterday from Amazon at a great price but I got the black one.

[@moe3754]

After seeing this I canceled my order and got the yellow one and am really happy I did this thing is great have had it over a month now!

[@jipangoo]

I've got absolutely no connectivity issues

[@Baronen911]

Got the old one. I do not need all these fitnes crap and the heart rate sensor is not accurate.

[@fabioricci-effeerreworld]

could you tell me about the battery duration? I'm not convinced about it... thank you

[@gshockhighfashion]

The only way to tell the true battery duration is to go outdoors, turns the gps on, make sure the connection always there, and walk/swim/hike or whatever until the battery runs out. I live in a city, so I can't really fully test it, not yet. Need to plan a trip somewhere. Anyway, there's some information about it in the manual. Skip all the way to page 77. support.casio.jp/storage/pdf/002/qw3554.pdf

[@fabioricci-effeerreworld]

@@gshockhighfashion thank you. Appreciate

[@georgeg1947]

The battery will never need charging if you put the watch in airplane mode. The solar panel on the display will power the time, stopwatch, world time, alarms, timer, sunrise/sunset, moon phase and step counter on the watch. These functions work ONLY with the solar panel and do NOT work with the rechargeable battery which is a good thing because you will never need to charge the watch if the solar panel is exposed to light and sunlight while you wear the watch.

[@urhhoney]

i wish it had maps of some sort... some kind of upgrade from the last rangeman.... thinking about suunto/garmin/ and this... my heart goes to this... but it doesnt have maps.... waiting to see if they bring out one with maps, what do you all guys think ?

[@gshockhighfashion]

That would be perfect! I guess they're betting that everyone is carrying phone and portable power supply that this watch is imo just a supplement, well most of the time.

[@MartinLuetzelberger]

Do you know Chase the Summit? Check out his video about the watch. May help you get a real impression of this 'best' watch.

[@alanmorris4185]

Not as good as the gpr b1000 materials used in this watch are not as good, no sapphire glass, no carbon fibre in the strap and no ceramic it might be a good watch but it's been down graded as far as I'm concerned.

[@georgeg1947]

The gpr-b1000 was too big and it had problems with its rotating crown that was faulty and used to fall off. And big deal if this new gpr-h1000 doesn’t have GPS tracking on the watch display. You can still use GPS tracking with this new model by looking at your smartphone. It still has GPS and you can use the GPS by looking at your smartphone. This new model has all the health and fitness features which its older gpr-b1000 predecessor didn’t have. However, it has everything else in it that the older gpr-b1000 Rangeman had in it. I don’t use any of the health and fitness features on mine, so I have all the health and fitness features turned off on my gpr-h1000 Rangeman and it works fine and never needs charging.

[@andyblue001]

​@@georgeg1947I agree with you, most people will trash talk the gprh1000 compared to gprb1000 but they dont know that being lighter is also an advantage when dropped, yup the crown is the problem, and my gprh1000 I never charged using cable as long you really know what you are doing, those who are complaining about the battery of this gprh1000 really does not know how to use it effeciently,

[@georgeg1947]

@@andyblue001 that’s very true. Most people have no clue how battery economical the Casio gpr-h1000 is. The battery can last forever without having to charge it if you wear the watch and if the watch gets natural and ambient light. You can use all the regular time features like the alarms, the compass, barometer, altimeter, stopwatch, countdown timer, moon phase, sunrise/sunset times and the step counter without having to recharge the watch with the USB charger. All those features that I just listed are powered 100% by the solar panel underneath the crystal by natural light and by ambient light. People who trash this watch think otherwise and they don’t understand this.

[@johnnysmile01]

I teally don't like it it looks like the Mudman or a fitness watch, with little differences and the problem is the last Rangeman nothing have to do with this design i prefer the older gw-9400 but that's me i think G-Shock killed the Rangeman like they did with the Mudman, Rangeman it was a watch that should survive outside without charging like the older... That's a really bad move, i understand they wanted to modernize the watch but doing like this it wasn't a good idea

[@fabioricci-effeerreworld]

I think so 😞 Think the philosophy of a Rangeman is survival... not charge avery day by usb cable........

[@mwboost]

Mine has been going for about a month and still on 4 bars of battery. Though this isn't using the HR sensor, notifications or GPS. Just the usual watch functions and sensors.

[@VickHam]

Black panther? Casio says it's a Wild Cat. And yes, to me the little guy looks indeed as a Wild Cat, the type you can see on the bush. Just sayin'

[@emaeder18]

I had a GBD-2000 for a while and sold it because of the software. Accessing anything takes multiples clicks, solar assist is a joke and it is a downgrade from a regular solar G-Shock

[@txemopanocki7884]

I like it....!!! 😉😉

[@pacokpu]

The watch is great but Casio need to update it. Navigation should be essential in a Rangeman.

[@KC-rn3bd]

This watch without a heart sensor and smart features would slap. Only need abc sensor and solar

[@shanereid5663]

Best watch ever

[@georgeg1947]

You’re wrong about the battery inside this watch being easy to replace. Most people who own these watches don’t have any idea how to take everything apart on the outside of the watch and open up the watch and take more things apart inside the watch to get to the battery. This is a task for a Casio service center. It’s not for an amateur.

[@dariuszgniadekonet.plgniad3745]

Record what's inside the watch

[@StormRider-bp8us]

Feel so premium heavy .i own a black japan ver

[@jsimpson4]

No need for a heart rate monitor or fitness data in a Rangeman. However, great job on the video…as usual.

[@patricj951]

I have Rangeman 9400 and it looks much better than this new Rangeman, which is pretty ugly. And I have had G-squad 1000 with the MIP display which is an awesome negative display. But the pulse measuring function worked badly so I sold it. Does it work better with this new Rangeman?

[@gshockhighfashion]

9400 is hard to beat, at least they tried with this new model. For sensor accuracy, I can't be sure. I didn't have other special tools to compare it with. I had to watch other gadget/tech reviews channel for that. Not the best, but it works.

[@georgeg1947]

@@gshockhighfashionThis new Rangeman is first and foremost a G-Shock. It has some health and fitness features in it, but it’s NOT intended to be a smartwatch. It’s intended to be a G-Shock and only a G-Shock. Casio put the health and fitness features into this watch to have them as a convenience which wasn’t a bad idea. If you want a smartwatch go buy a Garmin or an Apple Watch.

[@mrgreen2769]

I choose non Bluetooth watches. Many of the built in app features unless you actually work out like a maniac is pretty useless and a huge resource waste. Even though it's tough solar it still lacks independent charging capabilities leaving you no choice but to charge by cable. I was even disappointed at the new 9500 mudman that's supposed to be the 9400 killer. I guess each to their own.

[@forsak3none]

while i absoluteley love the rangeman 9400 ( have like 23 of them) this new one does not deserve the rangeman moniker..its just a reskined GBDH2000, tho as preety it may seem, this isnt its biggest problem... my main beef with this release are the shitty bioresin materials used for the bezel and strap..those will fail much much faster than the old versions..unfortunately, like with the new "mudman" casio missed yet another oportunity with an iconic master of g model with laziness in reusing old modules and the bioresin wich ist sole purpose is to make the watch dont last as much as the old ones did ....its quite sad...

[@gshockhighfashion]

I have the same concern about the material as well, it has not been proven to last yet unlike all those 'vintage' models. Anyway, talking about reskined, look at the watch again, there's only 2 thing that makes it a rangeman, a single piece name & a logo at the back that is removable. This rangeman seems more of an afterthought rather than something built from the ground up.

[@georgeg1947]

The bio resin material is inferior. It’s cheap and it’s not going to last like the resin in older g-shocks. Only time will tell. This particular model is very complicated and you need to take apart the entire watch to replace the exterior bezel.

[@noxnoir9826]

How can a g-shock fan accept a "watch" THAT REQUIRES CHARGING REGULARLY. Thats not a watch, nor does it have useful GPS function. Its handicapped smartwatch. All other G's are just better. And most of them cheaper. And tough solar. RIP Master of G Rangeman line.

[@rauliflemington7045]

The best? The best what? This 'thing' is a disturbing departure from what a G-Shock has traditionally been. Casio would do well to review their future direction with many of their more recent G-Shock offerings. This is a convoluted wrist-worn gadget that is dependent on external devices for charging and full operation. Unlike its predecessors, its operation and functionality are frustratingly non-intuitive. The app it requires is highly problematic with appalling connectivity issues. The design lacks any elegant nuance, the dial now being akin to mere screen. The negative MIP display is slow and still less visible than a positive display. It falls short of being a smart-watch and adds nothing practical to the remit of a more traditional digital timepiece. Casio are risking the repeat custom of swathes of loyal G-Shock enthusiasts if this is a glimpse of future offerings.

[@gshockhighfashion]

I agree. I think they're trying to maintain their traditional way making things but also wants to modernise it as well. Trying to do both is the issue here I guess. For now, I'm gonna keep giving them chances, good or bad, I like to see how they solve it plus it is still exciting to see all the crazy idea they came up with to test the market. They also release new models every month, insane.

[@KGB-FSB]

​@@gshockhighfashionthis is such slap in the face for true gshock fans. This is an abomination created in the g shock lab by mistake and presented to us.

[@mrk131324]

It’s just one of their offerings, all the watches you appear to live more are still there. But I don‘t get the concept, too. If they want to make a rugged smart watch, I‘m all for it. But this thing is too much smart watch to be reliable and too less smart watch too replace one.

[@MentalMoor]

It’s horrible to be honest 😂

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

$500 for a G Shock is comical.

[@georgeg1947]

It’s very expensive. I ordered my gpd-h1000 from a Japanese seller from Japan for $423.80 with tax included. I was going to purchase it directly from Casio USA but I didn’t want to pay $500 plus tax for this watch. Anything over $425 is too much.

[@bruhreallybruh]

The GBDH2000 is the same watch as the GPRH1000 without the dust and mud resistant. It costs $300 but the new GPRH1000 can go for $400.
