[@Zangetsuis1]

Since I've started collecting I've noticed there are 2 rules to GShock 1. Don't buy anything with white or clear straps. 2. Don't get a negative display. 😂

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Why not white or beige straps?

[@Jacklondon83]

Good review. You're right about the identity crisis between the Mudman and the Rangeman, but i think it goes back to the previous version. I'm looking for the old Mudman that you have, but in the positive version. In my country, I only found the negative version for almost 150 USD. I have the Mudman from 2011, and even though I don't engage in outdoor activities as much as before, I try to enjoy it from time to time.

[@frankgerace5997]

I don’t own a mudman, but I do have several G Shocks, including a “first” mudman DW5500. I’m thinking about making a G9000 my next purchase, and I agree that with recent G Shocks, a newer model isn’t necessarily better than an older one!!

[@caesarsspirit]

Got a 1 week used g-9000-1 here if your looking for it.

[@loganholmberg2295]

I don't get negative displays but my friends who see watches as more fashion accessories love them. so I think casio is catering to the gshock fashion crowd with the negative displays. and we don't see much improvement on them cause those people care more about the look then the function.

[@garethsigrist8714]

Great show MWC! I really want a MIP display G Shock but I’m with you on not personally needing all the tech and connectivity in a watch. This is a nice option for those who do want it though, even if that display is a bit hard to read.

[@ROrneli]

then get the rangerman, update it, turn of HR monitoring , set a screen without steps on it and unpair it.. now you have a regular g-shock where the battery last months or years as long as you dont use the GPS. Being able to charge the watch by cable is needed on any watch with GPS as solar is not enough. Also this watch can get its time through GPS. Get the rangerman you wont regret it. just turn off the HR monitor and unpair it.

[@RagnarHoff]

It's the compass layer that dims the display so i'd just say go with a GBD-100 or 200, H2000 as well as the upcoming Rangeman that gives the same vibe as this. All the same MIP display. My GBD 200 with negative display is very crisp and easy to read.

[@jimmymcclure4549]

Spot on. This and the new Rangeman are gonna be a hard pass for me. I recently picked up several older models with the EL backlight to include the g-9000 Mudman and the Gulfman. G-shok has hit a wall with what they are putting out now. Good for my wallet anyway.

[@DukeTurnip]

Another good review. You produce top-tier reviews! How about an explainer video for us newbs to compare/contrast the G-Shock ranges. Mudman, Rangeman, Frogman, etc.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

There all merging into one DT!!!;)

[@patzguitarz]

I'm with you on bluetooth/heart sensor. I don't want my watch connected. We're too connected as is.

[@ramsfan709]

Absolutely agree with you. Between charging tablets, computers phones watches I just had enough. Sold my Samsung ultra watch to buy a g shock solar powered

[@S-Ltd1000]

In my experience the only negative display that's in anyway usable is the GD350 blackout which is also one of the most underrated and cheapest Gs currently available. I'm currently down to a GD350 and an expensive MTG B3000. The MTG is a fantastic watch but the complete antithesis of what a gshock is as you don't want to beat it up.

[@josephj7387]

I dropped in a comment too on the GD-350 and what an underrated gem it is!

[@kz1000s1]

Agree, GD350 is the only negative display G that's readable.

[@Nightmareman3]

I own the GPR 1000 Rangeman and the negative display is awesome.

[@josephj7387]

@@Nightmareman3 damn Boi! DAMN BOI HE THICC !! BOI !! That's a thicc timepiece Boi!!

[@deecarter147]

GD350 on my wrist right now. My constant go-to watch. Top negative display. The gold digits on black background are great, look cool and are easy to read.

[@Mrb00st]

While you and some viewers mentioned wishing it had a mip display, i dunno. Instead of a duplex lcd i really wish it had an STN LCD so you can actually read it. They're like magic, and several protreks with similar features have had them at this price point. The duplex is cool in the -1 positive display module, which you can actually read but seems totally useless in the neg... as is the whole display. A tool watch you can't read? Why?

[@Mrb00st]

@rb2112 yeah like if the prw-30 can have an stn display why doesn't this?

[@MrDjambronk]

What's the point of negative display if you hardly see the time. Especially in the dark.

[@nizarmurar]

Dear " Mad " friend Many thanks for the unbiased revew as always. I have been following you for a long time ,enjoying every episode. I believe it is time to revew the unbelievable, affordable watches from Venezianico Italy . I believe they are worth your honest ,professional revews. Hapy new year to you and your beloved family, including the new Comer. With love and Nizar P.s. Thank you for stopping me from buying what was supposed to be my next Gshock.

[@k9feces]

I appreciate the honest review, Casio needs to get their $hit together and make the faces more legible.

[@LS1007]

I have the G9000 with red pushers and the size is perfect for me. Great video. Have a great day!

[@PhantomObserver]

I have the positive display GW9500 as well as the 9400 Rangeman. I do appreciate the thinness of the newer version as well as the new layout. I think the new MIPS Rangement is a waste of money as it’s just a reskinned G-Shock Move.

[@zackamanda9799]

I bought this watch as well as the positive display watch. I personally don't think the display is any worse then my GW-9400-3 Olive Green Rangeman. At certain angles the Mudman seems to be more legible then the Rangeman , both have the gold negative display. I bought the Positive display(GW-9500-1) first for $230.00 US dollars and then bought the GW-9500-3 Negative display like yours for $220.00 US dollars from the same seller in Singapore. Like you , I definitely think it's more a upgraded Rangeman then a Mudman. By the way , I love your channel , your humor and your wife's opinion. Great review !!!!!!!!!

[@ProjectSerpo90]

This is exactly why last year in 2023 when i needed a tough watch to wear doing construction i bought a GW9400-1 and not one of these new models which absolutely miss the mark with the most important feature of a watch, the ability to see the damn time. Last week i was looking to add another G-Shock to the collection because one can never have too many. My pick? GWX-5600-1JF. A square with MB6, Tough Solar, a fantastic display, looks great and wears like a dream. Oh yeah, and no bluetooth, no thanks. Like you said, theres a reason we still buy squares in 2024. Didnt even know theres a new rangeman coming out, to be honest, it looks awful and ill take my GW-9400 over it any day. If i want to know my pulse I’ll put my fingers on my wrist.

[@damianchan2129]

Totally agree. Basic g shock is still the best.

[@He11cth3r3]

There actually was a negative display pro-trek, I know that because my dad has one and them things are immortal

[@golith41]

The gw-9300 jdm model with the carbon fiber band and atomic time keeping its a amazing value for money.

[@GearAndGuns]

Did yours come with a Japanese manual?

[@Dadication3]

Well said once again MWC, explaining what we are all thinking. Just located a G9000. That count down to the stopwatch and the cool light up script is a winner.

[@GShockWatchFan.]

I considered this. I went with the positive display of the older Rangeman with yellow highlights.

[@jamesrosenkrantz180]

An outdoor watch that you have trouble reading outdoors… kind of a tough one to take

[@stevebarnard8580]

The most legible negative displays (apart from MIP) are on my DW5600BB and DW5600NN, really clear and visible. My M56-1OU and GW-7900 negative displays are a nightmare to read. Anyone know why this should be?

[@GotSawst]

There is a negative display ProTrek i have the black and green band one. PRW-3510Y-8CR. But the negative display is an STN display and i can read it at sharp angles. With a rotating compass bezel, its definitely one of my favorite Casios, and its almost exactly the same as the New mudman, without the shock resist of course

[@johanvandersandt8904]

This is the first time a Casio reminds me of a Skmei... Not sure how I feel about this one. Thanks for the review Russ! Have a fantastic weekend!

[@BackToWar100]

I like the bulkiness, big wrist over here, when I had my first dual time compass watch 53 diameter got from silver to bronze and 0 Scratches on the screen 80$.

[@goodtobegeek]

Another great video. I got a G9000 with positive display and red buttons after seeing it on Anthony Starr's wrist in Banshee. I was going to get the red case new Mudman until I saw the negative display and how bad it was. Then I wanted the new Rangeman but I don't want to charge it all the time! Bugger

[@adk7962]

“All that fitness rubbish…” says the sports coach. Ha! Informative and entertaining as usual. I have a GM5600-1, and I love it but I can’t tell the time on its negative display also. Eh. That’s why we all have smart phones…

[@tikityboo]

Just purchased this for £175 in the sale on HM Samuel online and I love it. Still love my old G-9000 though. I agree the negative display is dross.

[@DisplayKeesBack]

Sorry Russ, still gonna buy one this summer 😂 (the positive display one). But yes it looks more like a Rangeman.

[@THX-C]

I have the positive display and like the dual-layer screen. I put adapters on it and wear it on a Zulu because the strap is too long. I wish it was thinner.

[@victormathieu4025]

I just got the GX56-TU. I think its the best new G on the market. Positive display and tough solar is all I need. And the color screams tacti cool 😎

[@juancarlosdelmoral1919]

I have the rangeman 9400 in green with negative display, and I can confirm that the display is not good either, I pressed the light button always to see the time, day or night.

[@FiremanFrach]

I love my GW-9400. That’s all I need.

[@hattyfarbuckle]

One thing I love about many GShock other than the obvious is the "proper" stainless cross head screws attaching the strap to the case. This beast upgrades that to hex head.

[@lybros474]

Hmmm…. Interesting. I got the GW 9500 Military Green color with negative display and I am happy with that. No problem with legibility and I’m of the opinion that negative display is better choice for that color then positive one. Great watch for me and it looks fantastic. I have few different watches in my collection and change them during the day depending on the situation. A watch is not only the tool for me but most of all it’s a man’s jewelry. It does’n have to show the time only but must express the style and my mood, too. But if I need a watchtool for my work for example, I will choose the most legible watch on the market, probably with analog hands and some kind of luma on them and on the numbers, in order to see the time perfectly in dark rooms and during the night (and I have such a watch and use it regularly - Orient Ray II, but there are plenty of them on the market so everyone can choose what he likes). So, for me GW 9500 with negative display is a great choice. I can recommend it to everyone. The most important thing is that one, that I have some eyesight problems and it doesn’t disturb me in any way to use this watch with negative display. I am able to see everything perfectly. Of course, MIP display will be better and more legible, but if anyone want to have a G-Shock with such a display, than have to look for another one. I think that it’s great that everyone can choose the product wich suits him the most. I’ve chosen GW 9500 Military Green and I’m happy with it. That’s my choice, fully conscious. Regards.

[@parallelsuns1]

I have a Smael Chinese 5600 copy with a better negative display than that. I like the idea of a barometer and compass though

[@vladimirjanicijevic]

So, to buy this one or GW-9400-1?

[@ROrneli]

the H2000 and the rangermen are getting bad rep because you can charge it .. let me clear something fellow coach. you connect this to your phone, updated, set the screen you like, turn off HR monitor, and then unpair the watch from the phone and the battery will last you months if not years .. with the option to charge by wire if you live in a cloudy place. People complain about this watch being chargable and then i see people buying special light bubls to charge their tough solar watches or they will die in 5 months. I will say it louder for the people in the back.. charging the watch is only required if you use notifications , the HR monitor or GPS . as the manual states the H2000 and the new rangermen can be powered sorely on solar power if you dont use the health options or GPS. Also the watch has the ability to set its time through GPS , which is much better than atomic since atomic fails all the time and it depends on how far you live from an antennae and setting the correct time zone..instead on the new rangermen you get the time through GPS no matter where you are .. The ability to use the GPS to track a trail or distance walked can be very good to navigate a trail and monitor your progress over time to know if you will make it to base camp or not. but GPS cannot be sorely charged through solar power .. So can we please stop hating the new rangerman and H2000? they both have fantastic screens and as many functions as the regular rangerman plus health and GPS features if you chose to use them

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

This is sooooo long! Let me tell you my friend . As an owner of the H5600 I’ve not had the notifications on nor had it connected to the phone since I bought it! But!!! It has needed 3 charges. I’m not too bothered about charging it myself as long as it doesn’t make the watch uncomfortable.

[@ROrneli]

​@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I am currently testing the H2000 without HR monitor or GPS or notifications to see how long the battery lasts. I am on day 5 and the battery still shows "high" or full. Manual says solar power is enough to keep the time keeping part of the watch . I will let youn know., Sorry about the long comment lol

[@EleonoraCres]

@@ROrneli Why are you apologizing? If that qualifies as a long comment I guess you are not the problem, you can see that someone is not used to reading and has the attention span of a goldfish. I, on the other hand, thank you for your comment, you encouraged me to order the H2000. I had been under the impression that people were lost in some kind of hivemind thinking and after 1 month or so I confirm what you said as well as what I suspected. By now, examination has become yet another excuse for engaging in silly stadium cheering.

[@Ekstraordynaryjny]

It's actually not the first G-Shock to have a dual LCD display. G-3000/3100 (basically the same thing but in plastic or metal case) had two LCDs layered on top of each other, but used them for a different purpose. They both displayed the same information but in different colours. You could have various combinations of blue red and black at the same time and switch between them in the adjustment mode. Blue time, red date and black in the familiar three eyed design for example, or any other combination you'd want. Not as useful as a compass maybe, but definitely way cooler.

[@dancarthen3634]

Multi band 6 doesn't always work but Bluetooth will auto adjust the time all on its own once your watch is within range.

[@rclsm1021]

I have and love this watch, and had it come with a MIP display I would argue that this watch would be better than the legendary GW-9400 Rangeman.

[@michaeltroiano5705]

This is so spot on. Just picked up a 9300, solar and radio are musts for me. Thanks, and bravo.

[@patryka11]

I love 9500 but in possitive display. I love them.

[@shawnlavigne9069]

Cool looking watch, particularly the green, yellow and black.

[@thunderchild010]

I was do close to purchasing one. But they are too ProTrek looking. Then I saw the GWG-1000 on sale. It arrived today. Glad I waited a while.

[@amitanivfx]

I had the G-9000 way back but lost confidence in it after it fell from a sitting position (less than one feet) and the inside crystal shattered. Of course Casio replaced the inner movement but I lost confidence in that Model completely. Having said that, all my other Gshock’s are extremely tough.

[@spencemiller9301]

Great review! I bought a Mudman with all the barnacle bits ... And I don't know why. Ha. It's really just a summer watch - There's no getting this under a cuff!

[@OrdinaryWatchGuy]

Great video mate. I bought my first G-Shock over Christmas (Casioak as recommended by your good self) - I like that you openly admire the Casios but you don't hesitate to objectively highlight the bad ones either.

[@tcwhite0104]

Finally a ProTrek PRG-340-3 style Dual LCD!!!! for the Compass, Baro and Alti complications. Basically the same guts..The Toyota version GW-9500TLC-1 $440.00 is cool. They teamed up with Toyota Land Cruiser and Auto Body..But this model for half the price is great...GREAT REVIEW.

[@matrixegg]

Isn‘t the G9000 negative display equally horrible? I once bought the GW-M5610 with negative display and had to send it back because I couldn‘t read the time…

[@truthdragon7719]

I think its great G shock now give you a compass I quite often need to draw circles. There should be the option to wear it showing the case back, far better looking that way.

[@JimKinkade]

I disagree! What you call “futuristic barnacles” aren’t fashion statements, it’s functional. The raised portion protects the screen. The lowered part allows drainage. Mud pools on the screen of the old Mudman and old squares. Not this one.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Love this! Jim’s on the design team!

[@iancarnell5020]

Instant legibility is required under all light conditions. Otherwise waste of space.

[@adamski101]

[@MOON-Hkr]

My old GW-9400-1 RANGEMAN is my favourite!❤ Btw i got mine just ago two years.

[@fs96jfj36]

The barnacle:, I can only bare with them because I am as big as a sasquatch. I have a GWG1000 and I do agree that they must go. The compass is a nice gimmick that has brought me back to safety, the barometer is the most useful thing on the watch alongside the time telling. Weirdly enough, I think the most useless thing is the thermometer since it boils down to, are you hot or are you cold.

[@pedrothevenard]

I'm rocking the g9300 for about 7 years, it's awesome, super legible, extremely resistant, the solar battery it's always full, mine takes almost a year to lose a minute which is absolutely fine by me, I set it every 4 or 5 months and I'm fine, and I used the compass more times than I though I would, to see if my Google maps that it's telling me to go forward is right, guess what, almost always it's not, it helps to rotate the map to the direction you are actually facing, there are other ways to find that out, but that's just super fast and I like it. But it's bulky, I'm 5"11 and 230ish pounds ex Rugby player with an 8 inch wrist, it looks good on me, but even I sometimes find it kinda bulky, if you don't have broad shoulders to match the broad watch it might look a bit disproportional for some, but if you like the way you look with it, get one, because it's an awesome watch.

So, like I said. I guess I'm the odd man out on the new mudman. And in my opinion the new rangeman isn't a survival watch so mutch as it is a fitness tracker. It needs to be in the g shock move lineup.

[@djdontgetcooked]

It's disappointing that there is no MIP display; such a missed opportunity. I have 2 MIP Casios that are less than half the price. I was aiming for the one with a negative display because I have some Casios with negative display that are quite visible(some of them cost 40$). I was thinking that the visibility would be similar on this one. Boy, was I wrong! When I picked up the watch in the store, I thought that the screen was broken due to the challenging lighting conditions. However, I picked up the standard version and I quite like it.

[@melgigz178]

We have the older Rangeman with a bulkier look than this, the GPR-B1000. It has solar recharging and wireless charging.

[@peakrider4886]

I learnt my lesson with Casio negative displays. Never again!! I think the black version would have been better to review. I like the overlay LCD, had it on my Protrek PRG-40 I owned for 17 years! I don’t know about you Russ, but I just don’t like modern G-shocks. I wish they would reissue some of the back catalog instead of me scratching around watch sites in the US or China to get what I want. And while I’m having a rant, why oh why doesn’t Amazon UK stock the 6900?? Surely a popular model which you can only get from Amazon US. Crazy!! Cheers, Richard

[@OscarOSullivan]

Aside from negative display for me there is only one big flaw, why why whyyyy they didn't put bumps on the right side at the abc pushers, the cristal is completely exposed on that side, only time will tell how fragile the cristal will become, i see an upgrade of this model in the future to fix that, anyway i´m going for the gw 9500-1 with positive display such a badass watch, but also i´m getting a screen protector due to that design flaw

[@jesusavila1663]

If you look closely, there are 4 bumps (with screws) around the bezel that should protect the crystal.

[@alaindeleon5417]

@@jesusavila1663 yes that´s true but at the left side there is a bump at the sensor, at the right side there is a mini bump at the baro pusher, of course it has protection and my guess is that the cristal might be thicker but still it´s prone to scratches at certain situations, for some reason the GW9500 does not have a symmetric design like most G shocks, anyway i like the watch and i´m pulling the trigger next month for sure

Casio seems to be following the old Swatch ethos. It’s a fashion piece. Telling the time is secondary. I still love them though.

[@nu-ta-ws1471]

Thanks for this video. I have the indestructible g-9000 and, to be honest, I also compared it on the wrist with the new gw-9500. The only thing I liked about it was its relatively low weight and thickness. As for the rest, I would definitely choose the good old g-9000 again. In my opinion, Casio didn't really have an idea for this watch. They wanted to fill the gap between the gw-9300 and the Rangeman, but it didn't work out. The new Mudman is probably a dud, and shouldn't it even be called something else?

Seem like they got no love and support from 3rd party

[@wayneharper2429]

"The twin tang buckle is definitely OTT, particularly when it's made of stainless steel"... I disagree here, I've just retired a G8900 with "twin tang" and after 5 years continuous wearing 24/7, the band held up, unlike "single tang" buckled/resin banded watches on my previous two Casios. The load is being shared by each tang taking half the tension on the band. Also the "stainless steel" reference implies a thought that tang strength is in issue rather than band durability and longevity; far more likely that the band would break before the steel did.

[@calvinchann1996]

LOL, saw the 9500 today and bought one. Obviously the positive display one.
