G Shock Rangeman
My previous watch was a Casio, but lacked the atomic time signal, and the ability to recharge with sunlight. It also had a blue background, which made the numbers difficult to see. This one resolves all of those issues, and provides features I hadn’t anticipated. The interface is delightfully intuitive, while offering a surprising number of features. G-Shock Rangeman watches are marketed as a men’s watch, but of course, they are suitable for anyone who loves being out in nature.
I was originally looking at the GPW series, and even know the global satellite is cool, to change timezones it really wasn’t worth spending over 700 for that watch when you got more with this one. I love having all the features of the pro-trek in a g-shock and the steel buttons are not only functional but look great too. Thanks to recent advancements, Casio was able to produce even smaller electronic components, making the RANGEMAN one g shock watch of the first to employ the new Shock Resistant Triple Sensor technology. Constructed of metal, with an oversized, textured surface, the watch’s design ensures accessibility of information even with a gloved hand. Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping – The Rangeman receives time calibration radio signals for accurate timekeeping at all times. You can set the watch to manually receive signals, or auto-receive signals up to 6 times per day.
This watch is packed with functions, has an even sportier design than many others, and is built to last. In 2006, the new Mudman models were introduced in the Master of G range of watches followed by the new Gulfman models in 2007. The author of this review received a sample of the product from the brand or its representative in exchange for a review. The Rangeman watch has so many incredible features and abilities but the price that comes at is having to cycle through them all to get to the one you want. And I’ll be honest, it’s not the easiest screen to read, even with the backlight. Yeah, yeah, I read all the reviews and heard all the complaints about how hard the negative display is to read in less than optimal lighting.

Both the Rangeman and the Mudman are shock resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The mineral glass protecting the face is sealed tighter and tenser than a handshake between Djokovic and Federer. The Rangeman’s light is brighter, and the white provides a bolder contrast with the watch’s digits. The Rangeman and Mudman have similar resin bands with identical wear. They’re both robust and suitably match their respective watch faces. The Rangeman places the date and the day in the same section and isolates the time, which I think makes more sense and looks less crowded.
GPS navigation is usable for approximately 33 hours on a wireless charge of about five hours. If the battery becomes depleted, GPS functions can be resumed by charging the watch in bright light. (GPS functions are usable for one hour on a solar charge of approximately four hours in 50,000 lux conditions.) Regardless of the status of GPS functions, solar charging keeps the time display powered at all times. Watches with the triple sensor feature include an atmospheric pressure barometer and an altimeter, in addition to the compass and thermometer sensor.
It was built for toughness, but it isn’t as masculine as you’d think. G-Shock is known for some of the most handsome-looking tactical watches in the market. One of its most popular collection, the Master of G series, traditionally receives G-Shock’s newest technologies and geared towards certain people . With either watch you won’t worry about mud, dirt or dust gumming up the works inside your watch, so hit that Spartan run with confidence.
G-SHOCK watches are legendary when it comes to shock absorption. They are engineered to survive drops, bumps, water, and temperature extremes. The first G-Series sports watch was released in the early ’80s. Its status as near-invincible gained attention through a TV commercial that showed the watch being hit by a hockey puck. There have been numerous iterations of the G-Shock through the years culminating in the Rangeman line.
Arguably the most desirable all-digital timepiece, the G-Shock Rangeman offers a series of quintessential modern watches that are designed and engineered to withstand the most exhausting conditions imaginable! Introduced in 2013, Rangeman series watches become the most popular and professional addition to the Master of G line up, perfect for the rangers, sportsmen, outdoorsmen, and anyone who believes in survival. The “BAR” value indicates the number of atmospheres to which water resistance is ensured. Watches marked “200m” have the same water resistance as 20 BAR watches.
This watch is not as fancy as say a Suunto Vertical, which I use quite a lot. But then again, Suunto’s run out of battery after a long hike. This one is solar, so if you keep it in the light, it will run…forever . The Mudman features Twin Sensors compared to the Rangeman’s Triple Sensor.
