Casio G
The GPR-B1000, which is the successor to the GW-9400, and is also named Rangeman, has advanced GPS functionality in addition to the triple sensor features of its predecessor. The feature-rich G-Shock also has mud resistance, low temperature resistance and sunrise/sunset data. Of course it also has common G-Shock features like world time (48 cities + UTC), 5 daily alarms, stopwatch, and countdown timer. Its many useful features and affordable price makes it a popular watch with outdoorsmen and sportsmen of all types. For people who demand unfailing reliability and exceptional durability, the Rangeman with its mud-resistant, dust-proof construction is the best shot!
As an avid watch collector, what delights me most about these little beasts is they’re an adult version of all the toy gadgets I loved so much as a kid. But most importantly, the cool rugged aesthetic and digital face of a G-Shock makes me feel like Batman.
Solar charging is included, which means that the watch picks up any ambient light, even indoors, and charges the watch continuously. Just be aware that if it is close to flat, which does not happen easily, then it is best to charge it by a window or using a solar charger. Light in an office or similar is usually not that bright and might take some time to charge. Casio have also sealed the 9400 from mud, dirt and also water, with 200m water resistance (meaning dive ready – at least for dives not too deep).
It is easy to see why this model is so immensely popular. It carries the G-Shock DNA that people have come to love and expect, it offers great value for money, and it is packed with useful functions. This is a watch that is so tough that it can handle virtually any condition and be a solid g shock protection partner for many years to come. The G-Shock range is known for consisting of watches that are well-built, robust, and extremely tough. But depending on which model you opt for, they offer different things, mainly in terms of functions, but also in terms of different levels of durability.
Thus, when reception did not work out, there was only a short note popping up to show a GPS fail, and the watch was back in a display other than the one showing it as searching for GPS. When the GPS signal reception works well, it typically worked well within 2-3 minutes. At the start, you see the current position and/or track recording or navigation along the previously transferred route. After the look at basics – looks and functions – of the Casio Rangeman GPR-B1000, let’s turn to GPS and navigation.

For this type of watch, it is really self-explanatory, but the Rangeman GW-9400 is made to take a beating and will hold up extremely well to virtually any situation you subject it to. Just give it a good rinse afterward and it is as good as new. But worth having in mind is that despite its large size, this watch wears surprisingly comfortably thanks to its lightweight of only 93 grams. In addition, its integrated resin strap allows it to ”hug” the wrist and thus sit better on the wrist. The top of the case is put together with the back of the case using 4 screws in each corner which adds to its sporty look. The Casio Rangeman GW-9400 is a watch that ends up at the top in terms of toughness and functionality.
Its outer shell and band are made from a durable resin. This material can stand up to water, mud, and dirt and is easy to clean. Part of the rugged construction includes a stainless-steel frame. There are rubber rings inside of the main watch compartment in order to add water resistance and protection of the inner parts. Casio G-SHOCK Rangeman wristwatches are part of the ongoing Master of G series. All are built tough to withstand the harshest of conditions.
