Whats inside a GPR-B1000 GPS RANGEMAN series G-Shock watch

[@DaveyHg]

I used to take my watches apart and never got them to go back together properly. Nice to see I can just watch a video now

[@raksh9]

This teardown shows just how much utility each aspect of G-Shock design entails. These screws and bulges and size just aren't for show, everything has a purpose. I wish Casio would take notice of channels like you, Watch Geek and WatchUp69. Your videos must help sell a lot of G-Shocks, and you guys should be rewarded by Casio.

[@gshockhighfashion]

Finally someone else that realized how important every aspect in our G-Shock watch! If I may add, the box, paper and tag also an important aspect. I'm pretty sure Casio noticed the trend on KZbin but all of us aren't big enough yet for their standard. Maybe.

[@FlyinTreeTV]

Casio could do that, too. Because, They could film the complete develpment and sampling process. They don`t wanna show it. A ga is not well mounted than old or this model for example. So Casio can replace expensive parts with less expensive and nobody will get it. They also dont wanna show their solutions or Improvement, they can`t prevent it or stop reverse engineering enthusiasts. But they don`t want it and/or need it.

[@Geotubest]

What a remarkable piece of engineering. And to think also about the machines that help make the parts. It's mind-blowing.

[@RobertNES816]

Wow the quality of this watch is really top notch! Not one poorly placed component or sloppy solder joint!

[@deparoo]

Since its release I thought it is pretty expensive watch aside all the functions but after finished watching this video...I really appreciate the effort and thinks that it's only fair we're paying so much. As always thanks for your effort Shaz.

[@shankarasharya8368]

Very impressive work, dude. Now i appriciate my Rangeman at a new level!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@markjamison9132]

Wow this guy has steady hands.

[@exceptionToTheRule]

I really appreciate the length you go just to see what's in there. I guess a little piece of hardware still wake the child in us who wants to know everything inside out. Salute to your curiosity.

[@MGundevia]

Great video! I’m looking to swap the bezel and resin bumpers on mine and have found a lot of forum threads where they state the crown/encoder can be easily damaged by removing the bumper. Did you notice that and have any tricks/tips to not damage the crown or encoder?

[@mr.delacruz559]

You are the man! Thanx for showing us the internals if the Rangeman just like you did on the Mudmaster. Sorry that your Rangeman was not scrolling right. Hope it gets fixed! Keep up the awesome content!! G-Shock on brother!

[@andreafrancescomorabito5865]

You simply are the best G-Shock collector in the world. Your "what's inside" videos are simply amazing! Will you make a disassembling video of either the gwf-d1000 or the gpw-2000? They would result awesome!!

[@evalight6002]

I'm here because my speaker does not work. I will have a look inside to see what's going on with that silver spring. If anyone has anything to add for me please feel free to reply to my comment. I will keep this updated. Thank you to the amazing uploader for tearing down this watch, without him nothing would have been understood or attempted.

[@123cache123]

Man, I really like your enthusiasm and appreciation for the quality of each and every part. Then again when you shelled 1k€ at a watch you want to enjoy it, right? ;) Having said that - I would never dare to disassemble such an expensive watch myself!

[@gshockhighfashion]

No no no. I didn’t enjoy it at all at first. Feels very uncomfortable. Took me a whole day to complete the whole process because I need to take brake ever now and then while breaking this expensive watch down. It is not a good experience but I had to do it to fix it. I didn’t show the part where I messed up though during this whole process though. It was a nightmare. (I almost fried the IC & display panel) 😅🙏. Luckily, it all went well after all. So I just skip all this suspense altogether.

[@SV84SV]

This is one of the best and one of the most underrated g shock channel. You definitely deserve much, much more views. I also have one suggestion. Can you make one side by side comparasion 'whats inside...' video of two eternal classic's DW6900 and DW5600? Cheers

[@gshockhighfashion]

Thank you man for noticing my efforts! I really need more supporters like you here. I believe I already make a video about DW6900 disassembly few months before. DW5600 ones will be out next week. Side to side comparison sounds easier to be understood, I’ll work on it next! Thank you for this suggestion!

[@SV84SV]

Watched video with DW6900 before, on your channel, of course :) My idea is just two of classics in one video with comparison (on example, dimension of movement and buttons, glass thickness, etc). Thanks in advance. Cheers from Serbia!

[@agnby]

Great video! I took apart my watch to clean. When I screwed back the bezel, the threads were broken in one of the holes for the big screws! The dealer says that the warranty does not apply 😡 And a new case is very expensive...

[@gshockhighfashion]

Try contact Casio directly. I literally breakdown all the parts for this video before sending them to Casio for warranty claim and they still accept it.

[@agnby]

Very strange! Casio G-Shock team Sweden says that the guarantee is not valid if I removed a screw for the bezel myself ...?

[@terencedebruycker3840]

Hello G Shock Highfashion - you are the absolute Master Watchmaker extraordinaire !! Beautiful presentation. I only recently ordered my GPR-B1000-1JR and really appreciate your outstanding Horological dissections. All the best to you and yours, Terry.

[@HaraldHofer]

That's why I love the watches. Not that I would necessarily open the little sucker, but you could and you even could repair it (battery and maybe even some other parts. Take Apple instead - Their answer is: Trow it away.

[@zamSEG]

hello sir, could the lcd changed from negative to positive display by changing the polarizer?

[@gshockhighfashion]

STN display also use similar polarizing film concept as regular lcd. In theory, you could switch it. Unless Casio had modified something without us knowing. Gotta try doing it to find out.

[@paulphillips8367]

Great video and awesome look inside this amazing time piece. Well done! Question, did you ever get the crown fixed? I just ordered one of these and am worried a little about the crown and if it's a weak point in this watch, or just an unfortunate flaw in yours?

[@rbvb7539]

My get broken with a slight pressure when i was changing a tire .. and for me is a expensive piece of CR AP

[@seowster]

Hey mate, great video. I used it to disassemble mine for a cleaning. I took out the straps and bezel only. After putting it back together, I cannot use my GPS, Barometer and Altimeter. I get error message on baro and alti. Navigation I get receiving failed. Any ideas on what to do?

[@p.a.4928]

I just buy new a Casio G-Shock GW-M5630D-1JR 30th anniversary (the gold and Carbon fiber version) in a "Nos". So my question is : Carbon bands are more solid then normals ? Or is it just for the look ??? I hope you have some informations about it... Thanks, bye.

[@gshockhighfashion]

Great pick up there man. I own that watch few years ago. It has more to do with the resin instead of the carbon fiber. The Mudman & Rangeman model also came with carbon fiber yet didn’t feels as stiff/solid as that squar model. As as I could remember at least. 🙏

[@johnnysmile01]

This watch is really well built and tough, and have good features but it´s too big for my wrist, this is why i still prefer the old one. Anyway you did a very good job on disassemble it and show in detail what´s inside, i love this watch, thank you for show it, and i like a lot your channel, my fav

[@gshockhighfashion]

Thanks for the positive feedback! You're very welcome.

[@hardware-cybereye3290]

Great! What is the display type? TFT?

[@El_Rudo]

Hello, thanks for the video, really helpful. Were the red accents permanently attached to the inside protectors on the outside of the bezel at the 3H (crown) and 9H (sensor) positions?

[@GMann_007]

Shouldn't you be using some type of gloves to prevent contamination the sensitive interior? You keep dropping the SDN panel. Lol. Best to you man. Great vid.

Thats what I thought at the beginning but after doing all this for 2 years straight I notice that didn't matter. These fellas is tough as hell in and out.

Does it have the same display as the gbd100, gbx100 and gbd200?

Enjoyed the videos so much. Very interesting and happy to know what’s inside my Rangeman. Now I understand why I paid so much. Thank you.

[@automotiveoscilloscopediag2227]

Thanks for the video. Great to see the internals of this watch. Came across this after searching for issues regarding the 'D' or 'receiving' button . Purchased my watch brand new 2 days ago and while playing with it, on one occasion the button felt stiff to depress before 'clicking' into the depressed position. No problems experienced since, the button operates smoothly like the others and visually locates in the same position. Looking at the internal design I cannot understand what would have caused this unless there is a spring inside the button that jammed it in position ? Any thoughts?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Button disassembly is required there. Perhaps some more grease is required or maybe it is just very new. They tend to do that and it'll go away over time.

[@jaytan3731]

Is there a part number for the screen display? My stupid screen died after two years. Otherwise, can I have all the numbers and details that's on the part, including on the flat wire ribbon. This is really an excellent video btw.. :D

[@frankjaath1623]

Remove the gprb1000 function housing Can you put it on the cable frame gwg1000 and gg1000?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Not possible because the size of the circuit board to too big plus the display panel compartment and battery compartment would require the original case to be perfectly aligned.

[@champagnejunior]

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

[@gshockhighfashion]

The GPS could be turn off manually and it will stays off. Airplane mode is to stop the bluetooth connection. Well, that could helps save battery too I guess.

[@BlackdiamondWIS]

I damaged one of my Bezel screw. 5:46.... I need to order replacement. Can I remove it myself or does it need loc Tite when putting back?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Don't lock them too tight. The bezel is for shock absorption and not as much on water resistant anyway. No need to lock it too tight, just enough so that it wont came out.

[@CavenInToTheWorld]

Hi. I tried to open the back of mine hoping to remove the battery while waiting for the battery to arrive. But unfortunately my flat screw head is not small enough to fit in the battery holder. So i put everything back in. But i try to clean the rubber gasket from the back door by rubbing tissue on it because there's mud on the outer side. Now it's not fit on the groves of the rubber gasket. One side is getting up from the groves. Any advise? Or i just align them and close the door hoping it will fall into the groves while tightening.

[@gshockhighfashion]

You'll need to use needle instead to open the battery clip. For the O-ring, thats the only way. Finding a new replacement could be expensive.
