I've been using it basically just as a watch with notifications on. Only use gps on the rare occasion for walks and whatnot. Battery is on 3 bars and that's with a months use. Have found the GPS tracking has gotten a lot more accurate on the map and faster over time.
SOFTWARE UPDATE: Just an FYI that the GPR-H1000 received an update, which enables much faster satellite connection. Massive practical improvement. I'm so impressed with this piece, and it's usability now. IMHO, it's an issue that should've been addressed before release in that I believe damage was done to the reputation of both Casio and the Gshock/ Rangeman name. That said, this watch is now a complete workhorse for me. I love it.
Great video, I like this watch, especially the MIP display,and the ABC sensors. I have the first rangeman gw9400 and I love it. Then I get the GWG 1000-1A3ER mudmaster, and is my favorite G-shock. I don't know why, but this new rangeman is not an instant buy for me. Maybe I'm not used to charge my watch and connect with my smartphone,and update the software. I like the standalone watch that will work in any condition.
You don't need the connectivity. I don't use it. Only use HR and GPS if I really want track a walk or something. Pair it up to check the details, and then unpair. But never really. Don't use notifications anymore either. The battery is still on 4 bars after a month.
I need to ask a rather silly question. As a watch enthusiast who really enjoys automatic and mechanical movements, I am torn about buying a digital watch. Not because of the quality, but with the slew of features present on any of the modern watches (like what you showed) I am worried that I will get hooked, and always wish to wear the ”gizmo” watch. It will in effect render my mechanical movement watches something only for formal dress, opting for the digitally enhanced version for my daily wear. Even if I switch between them, the added digital functionality is lost on me as it may only put it once in a weekly rotation. This is one of the main reasons I will not buy an Apple Watch. What are your thoughts on this, how do you deal with a proper marriage between old technology, and all the bells and whistles offered by the newer G-Shock and like systems? I hope my question makes sense. Happy Easter!
Cheers, and thanks for watching. As an enthusiast don't feel pressure to like anything but what you like. It's your wrist, and it don't matter what anyone thinks. I love my Omega Speedmaster Professional, Tudor black bay GMT.....but ive been wearing digital watches since I was a kid after the Mickey Mouse starter I got at 8-9 years old. From time to time you just want that watch on that gives you lot of features with the protections from the elements. G-SHOCK can't be beat, and now they're offering so much function, it makes it fun too...u get to engage with the watch on another level. Don't get me wrong, I love automatic watches but there's no reason why you can't enjoy the best of both worlds. And the budget will thank you for it. See you again and good luck. I would start with the GW9500 MUDMAN, powerful and tough solar, no Bluetooth connectivity to worry about.
Hey Richard, that’s a great question.. I love my mechanical watch collection, and about a year ago thought I would try the Apple Watch Ultra. I have absolutely loved it, I find the tracking and stats, and connectivity really useful, but I realised that it sucked me into wearing it all the time to make sure I hit any goals in the health/fitness stuff and achieved the monthly challenges that would be set, and was starting to feel guilty if I missed a day or two.. I barely wear my mechanical watches… I am now looking at this G Shock to replace the Apple. I love the stats like steps, sleep , heart rate etc, I’m no super sports person,but it’s a nice way to keep on top of things.. I feel like this g shock will cover everything I want from a “connected/fitness” watch, but also feel like a mechanical in a way. Also I won’t feel like I’m missing out on completing challenges that Apple set. (I realise that these challenges are great motivation, but not when I feel guilt if I can’t hit them for whatever reason), And I want to start wearing my mechanical watches from time to time now. Hope that makes sense
@@gpsearle it does, thank you very much. my fear with any form of smart watch, is that it would force me into wearing it at the exclusion of all else… and from what you’re saying, that sounds like a realistic fear
Hahaa well gang, that’s why I wear two, tracking digital on my right and sometimes a mechanical automatic on the left so I can still have the best of both worlds. Right now it’s Gshock MOVE or Garmin for the right. Thanks for watching
@@TheCovertCrow can you compare the battery between them? I’m having a garmin and it’s working perfectly, but it’s not Gshock. I do the running 3 - 5km everyday, and I plan to wear it while sleeping with the heart rate monitoring like I’m doing with my Garmin. So do you think the battery is good enough for me with that daily use? I expected to charge it like 4 - 5 days with that usage, is that possible?
Think i may retire or use my gg-b100 less for this gigadad model . It's been beat to hell, but besides being worn down on all its edges and some spots on the glass from welding slag and scratches it is a rock solid watch.
Without getting too in depth right now, the MOVE just got Trekking update so it does everything the GPR H1000 does except for tide function so if you can handle that, save some money and get the GBDH2000. Thanks for watching
Hey Buddy, great video!! Does this watch has a Storm alarm ‼️ and can it record and recall like the GW9400 all altimeter and barometer readings? Cheers 🥂
I returned mine, the rubber or material is way too soft and ended up getting a piece of small rock between the front screen and the material. My OG mudmaster has been thru the paces and when compared to the material it's way stiff and hard. I also read the same complaint of the material being softer. Nice watch, but no-go for me. Will wait for gravity master
You betcha...I'm impressed, even the TREK feature is damn cool....Mt. Royal in Montreal Canada was a great little test....but even simply walking monitor is great too...so much to love! Thanks for watching
do you suggest new one or the old one? for special forces. I dont want a watch that needs getting charged. I prefer long distance watches atleast 5 years.
@TheCovertCrow I ordered a Forerunner 955 for the sake of it. I loved the Fenix 7 pro but not the bulkiness of it, same with the Instinct 2x. I'm gonna miss the flashlight though, that's one hell of a practical feature!
@@Aonexia yes sir, tough solar but still not enough for all the sensors and gps, needs to be charged at some point…probably get 2-4 weeks depending how much functions you use
I was amazed at the developement of the Casio Rangeman until I saw the Garmin devices. Casio is a dinasauer compared to what the Garmin can do. Casio is a high priced 20 year old technology watch. Yes,...Casio is a watch, Garmin is a device!
It’s kind of unbelievable. Always been a GShock guy and now they’re all gone, and I have two Garmins…they’re awesome and so so much! Thanks for watching, see ya in the Garmin videos
I have the b1000 and it is huge compared to most watches, including this h1000. and I love it. This h1000 is slightly bigger than my garmin instinct 2 solar. I love my gshock, but.this one....technology wise, way behind on tech than the garmin. i will be waiting for the new 2024 garmins. Sorry Casio, better luck next time.
I kept my fenix 6 for things like golf/excercise etc but i hate charging even every 2 weeks so wear my mudmaster daily. Garnins are insane though, cant recommend enough

I must have this one. I am 62 years old and loves hiking. I can use this to monitor my health.
This is the best review of the new Rangeman . Bravo 👏🏻
I love Casio, yes, I have worn Garmin daily for the last 4.5 years but i still have several Casio and will buy this one.

How does it look and sound when you recive a notification?

I have the yellow one and train hard on it. It's a great training watch for people who exercise and train hard for all sports.
Think i may retire or use my gg-b100 less for this gigadad model . It's been beat to hell, but besides being worn down on all its edges and some spots on the glass from welding slag and scratches it is a rock solid watch.
Can you make a gbd h2000 vs gpr h1000 and help clear my confusion as to which one to buy. Also talk about sleep monitor in practicle sense
Without getting too in depth right now, the MOVE just got Trekking update so it does everything the GPR H1000 does except for tide function so if you can handle that, save some money and get the GBDH2000. Thanks for watching
This model have gps function from point A to Point B n come to Point B like Gpr-b100?

@@KGB-FSB cheers, thanks for the response, and for watching the video, gotta do what you gotta do, I sent it back, Garmin Fenix 7X out performs. 👍😎
@@TheCovertCrow How did you send it back after wearing it for about 3 months?
Great video...did its gps tracking was acuurate??

GW9500 new Mudman, everything you need and no charging with tough solar
@@TheCovertCrow thanks
Halo sir.. For watchface can choise to analog
Whats best garmin instinct 2x or this rangeman cheers andy
Garmin 2x solar tactical for the price point, but if you have a few extra bucks the Garmin Fenix 7 series. Thanks for watching
Spring is disgusting this year! I'm in the nation's capital area!
How do you think it would test against the Garmin Instinct 2x?
I’ve had both, solar feature of the instinct is better, longer periods possible indefinite solar if you get exposure everyday, and a lot more features
@TheCovertCrow I ordered a Forerunner 955 for the sake of it. I loved the Fenix 7 pro but not the bulkiness of it, same with the Instinct 2x.
I'm gonna miss the flashlight though, that's one hell of a practical feature!
Since I’ve owned both, Garmin would crush it, features and power, better buy for your $$
@@TheCovertCrow great channel! I subscribed!
How many days does the battery last? G shock gpr h1000
Probably looking at 7-10 depending on how many features you use, thanks for watching
I've found it very comparable to my garmin instinct 2x, lacking mostly in refinement of some features.
I have heard that before, serious activity tracker people will have the GARMIN, thanks for watching
I have a question: Is it solar powered, as well as wall charger?
@@Aonexia yes sir, tough solar but still not enough for all the sensors and gps, needs to be charged at some point…probably get 2-4 weeks depending how much functions you use
