Man this is amazing. The colour coding of the face and hands is genius. I'm sure there is no better guide for the GPW anywhere on the internet. I'm definitely giving this endevour a shout out on my next video plus a link to the video in the comments. I imagine you needed a lie down in a darkened room after all that, some of it genuinely made my mind spin like the 3/6 year settings and manual year setting. Wow. Some other observations: 1. I had no idea about the flight log groups 2. The top tip was new to me also, I'd actually come across that issue in the past when a key dial was obscured by the minute hand 3. The complexity of this watch makes me marvel at it, it's like a work of art, the hours of investment, R&D and manufacturing are mind blowing and I can't imagine there are many more comparable watches that are so durable and solar in the world and I think they are a dying breed 4. For purely practical reasons I do think a digital screen helps for a watch of this complexity but the classic nature of it means it actually suits to be fully analogue 5. Linked to point 4, thank heavens for G-Shock Connect App on this watch as it makes it immeasurably more accessible 6. Your patience is God-like lol

I've currently got BT16's on at the moment, but the front tyre isn't as good as the Pilot Powers I had before, but the rear is better, but don't like to mix match brands. The tyres on the ZX12R need to have a high speed rating, also the tyre walls need to be solid... I'd rather have grip than long term, so am looking about 5000km's on the rear, as I do like to gun the throttle on a sensible level, and the ZX12R is pushing 198bhp with Ram-Air and she's very torque happy :-P I've just taken her for a spin this morning and great to ride her again, but she needs new treads! I also have a vintage Honda RD03 HRC which has been with me for over 18yrs now, and together we've seen most of Europe... this has been my favourite bike I've owned, it's not about the power as she only has 56bhp, it's more about the connection we have... I've been looking at other bikes, but feel having big horse power from the Ninja and the endurance from the Honda, I don't see anything I would want... I do like the Honda's, and almost bought an RC30 for CHF6500 when I lived in Switzerland. I liked the original CBR900R's when they came out, something about it that I still like even today... I prefer the CBR's over the R1's and Gixer's if you're curious, and I don't really have a grail bike... but certainly not a Harley, ridden a few and just don't like how much is involved to make them do anything, so to those ride them, are more passionate than me, as I prefer a bike that needs work, but also works well :-P Thanks again my friend, really appreciate your time to reply :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hello again, thank's to you for write me back. The last years are coming a new tires from Pirelli, Michelin, Brigestone and Dunlop. Most if the raiders here un Tenerife are using Michelin Power One, because they warm fast and have a good compromise between grip and kms., Another use de last Dunlop model, I think is a D212, and the rest Pirelli Super Corsa. About Corsa Rosso III, I was reading today, they talk about is a good compromise for a circuit and for the normal Road, and depend of has you use can do arround 7000-10000 kms. I would like that you read little be more about Dunlop D212, because they made for the RACE and for the street like Isla de Man TT RACE. www.motorpasion.com, I read in spanish but you can do in english too. Hopefully you find a good tires with this information. Talk about watches and bikes, always It is a pleaser. Thank's for your questions, your time and for write me. Have a good day Mr. Rangeman. Hopefully we can talk again. Retarda Paco Guallar

*I love these Gravity Master Tough Solar & Multi Band 6/GPS timepieces. The GPW2000 is the best Gravity Master that I have. One thing it lacks is a bonafide hands shift feature. If it had that it would be perfect.* *One feature I wish it had is the sweeping seconds movement in Stop Watch Mode. I love that in the GWA-1000/2000. I think I have on a mechanical timepiece at times when I see it sweeping. I say that as a Casio watch lover without any mechanical timepieces.*
@tarheelred283902 жыл бұрын
*I just figured out a solution/hack to the lack of the hands movement feature, so that the Home Time Mode minute or hour hand won’t block the Stop Watch Mode subdial. In World Time Mode, find a time zone where the MINUTES differ from the UTC time (I’m in an EST/EDT time zone. Hence only my hour time differs from UTC time. But my World Time Mode **_location_** is always in UTC in my Casios). Find a city location where the minutes differ from the UTC/GMT minutes. The three locations that I’ve found apace (there may be more) is Tehran, Kabul, & Delhi.* *(It’s best to do this when your Home Time Mode minute hand is anywhere from the 20 to 40 minute mark.) Activate the Stop Watch Mode timer. Then long press Mode to revert back to Home Time Mode. Perform the Time Swap function. Go back to Stop Watch Mode and voila! The minute hand isn’t obstructing the Stop Watch Mode subdial. YEAH BUDDDYYY!!!* *In Home Time Mode, don’t forget to do the Time Swap function again to set your time aright while it’s in Home Time Mode.*

Thank you for your feedback my friend :) So downloading isn't a problem for you, so are you printing directly from your PDF viewer? Maybe save it in another format like Pages or Word and see how that goes? So it doesn't even print it, or it's printing but on blank pages? I edited the instructions on my MacBook Pro using 'Pages' then exported it into PDF, then filed transferred it to my Google Drive account just to add. If you can view it on your PC you must be able to print what is shown... maybe you need to instruct the printer to print all of the pages in fine print. Or maybe just use it on a tablet instead like I do??? Have a search how to print a PDF file, am thinking you're using Window's? Cheers :)

Cheers for the feedback my friend :)) You have to think of the watch like a trigger to the phone, to tell it to make a location stamp, as the Gravitymaster does not hold any memory to save location stamps. If you want this, then the GPR-B1000 Rangeman has this built into the watch. The Gravitymaster can update the time/date/coordinate using the GPS, but you're only able to get a rough idea of location, it can't be used to pin point your location using the watches information. It would've been great to have some memory built in like the GPR-B1000. Hope that helps you my friend :)

@WatchUP69MrRangeman2 жыл бұрын
With this one being fully analogue, it does require the use of the instructions from time to time, but you can be lazy and just use the Bluetooth... To me, this was one of the most advanced movements from CASIO, mainly down to how all the motors intertwine together, and then tops it with GPS, MB6 and Bluetooth all from a non smart watch. You think the newer ones are learning involved, the older ones can conceal some hidden quirks that you can easily forgot after a few weeks... at least it keeps them interesting... but Citizen digitals can be even harder ;-P
