This is the only vid better than the original manual
As a guy whose 9400BJ-1JF (with a Japanese manual) just arrived, this video was a Godsend. Thank you very much.
+jlunit416 haha I'm glad I helped.
If you're interested make sure to check out my last video as you can win some GShock accessories. It came out a couple of days ago
I have watched all your gw9400 related video tutorials and I found all of them very educative, as they are complete, very clearly and to the point - way better than the official guide. Thank you, they help me understand how to use my first g-shock!
This is very comprehensive, so many buttons, will take time for an old man to learn. My battery operated Mudman, I knew well. Since no sun since holidays, I have been waiting to set up. WOW
Instead of reading the manual that came with the watch to set it up, I find it much easier to watch your video. Good job.
I should be receiving mine in a few days. Thanks to you I'll know a whole lot more about it. You the man💯
Best video I’ve seen explaining functions and settings. I always refer to your video to remind how to do a setting.
its amazing how much technology and features are stored in this watch. Making this watch more valuable and must have for daily use. And thank you for the detailed review, without this video i wouldn't have known half the features. You are a watch Guru !
Did you notice that in the Recall mode, the little circle dial, shows the number of stored records, and shows in what are you in?
Just a comment.
I like to much your videos,
100 thumbs up.
Thank you for this , storms are on there way and everything is nice now but once things change I'll be interested in how this function helps with informing me ahead
Just bought a Rangeman, and this video was a ton of help. Thanks so much!
Same here. Also didnt know I can decode production day, March 25 2023 😃
I have had mine for 5 months and received all my info here on how it works and how to use it.
I did find that the alt readings where always all over the place
While walking the same path and of course knowing alt readings that I got from google
What I found was that wearing the watch the readings were all over the place even after resetting known alt levels .
So I took the watch off and it was much much more stable
It seems to me my body heat was affecting the readings
And I know my body temp rises fast . More then most people
Hope this helps
These two videos were great. I was struggling trying to use the manual and found this video. Ten times easier to follow. Thanks very much.
Sensor part is vast and damn detailed.... Impressed
Thanks again 😁
Please pin this:
If you accidentally mess up your barometer or altimeter.
hold the top left button to head to the adjustment screen .then,hold the right two corner buttons,it will display off and it will reset itself.
Won’t work... When I press the top left I get HOLD for adjustment and if I press the right corner buttons it’s canceling the HOLD, back to display ERR on screen like I’m not holding anything
@@jonel5817 Ah sorry dude,my english is pretty bad. alright, press the top left button to the adjustment settings when youre in the barometer or altimeter mode. then, press the right corner buttons at the same time. it should display off then it recalibrates itself.
please respond if this works or it doesnt work.
Edmund Ng
Nope, wont work...
@@jonel5817 do you have discord, or reddit?
@@mcgillicutty--- Hey, if yours is the Gw 9400 model like in this video, i think this (th-cam.com/video/LhveLfQ56l0/w-d-xo.html ) video should work as theyre almost the same
This is a precious channel. Thank you for the informative effort in your videos!
Just received my Rangeman. This 2 part video was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Perfect tutorial. The best I've found. Major time saver. Thanks!
+CJ Frames thanks for the kind words and I'm glad I could help
Thanks, this really helped me set up, use and understand my new watch.
Puno hvala za RANGEMAN! Uhvatio signal tek sada (ručno) na skijanju na Kop-u! Nema šanse u gradu😅! Sjajne su Vam recenzije!
Got it today.
Thank you so much. A breeze to set up thanks to your help.
It's not as big as I thought it would be at all. I love it.
Thank you for the date code as well!

great video ! thanks ! I got my GW-900 but with reversed lcd ...looks cool but it literary takes time to read the time .. I just ordered positive lcd and I will replace it soon
Just got this watch. Merry Christmas
Congrats and merry Christmas to you too
Great vid very informative just bought one can't wait to get! Bout to watch the first part
Awesome tutorials, thank you so much. It would take me days to set up my watch to my liking with the manual, with these videos I am done in two hours.
Thanks a lot for this video
Receive my Rangeman today 24th Sep.2022
perfectly understood how to use ABC sensors
Wonderful tutorial. Thanks so much for all your hard work putting this together.
Just received my Rangeman and used your two videos to set it up. Thank you so much😀
+Jim Partington congrats on the watch and I'm glad I could help 👍😊
Great videos but just one correction I need to add. Decreasing Barometric curves not always associated with bad weather (or vice versa). In mountainous areas like in valleys you have venturi effects which are always lower pressure than flat areas surrounding the mountains thus you won’t have bad weather approaching.
Also, areas of low pressure that move do not always move in front patterns, depending on jetstream and windsaloft velocities a lower pressure can move in slow, not cause a front, still have good weather and only cause temperature declines but bring better visibility.
Your explanation is only mainly correct in areas of constant same air masses, like in deserts, artic regions etc.
I recommend in the future not to always associate downward curve with bad weather, it really depends where you are located but if we talk percentage wise than yes, most the times you would be correct.
Thank you.. I finally made full use of my watch.. I was never able to understand the manual.. :)
+Mark Larsen I'm glad I helped 😊
And enjoy your watch
Thx from 2024!
Thanks for a very helpful tutorial. Just purchased my watch today. Store did not have the manual. Didn't sweat it though, had already seen your video a couple of times. All good. Thanks again.
Congrats on the watch and enjoy ti for years to come 😊
I'm getting my GW 9400 Black Panther tomorrow (as my dad will return from Tokyo) and I am very grateful for both your videos!
Congrats on a new watch 😊👍
My G-shock came in beaten paper box and even the metal box is dimped. The watch looked good despite being a year old so I kept it. Do not care about the box all that much though I suspected someone using it until I saw the metal box dimped. Not sure why anyone would do that, so now I suspect the transport company playing twenty foot drops with their crates or something.
Thank you for your guidance. It is very much appreciated.
Wow Awesome overview. Much appreciated! never seen such a thorough review on a watch! Subbed
Good Job man, had the watch for 2 years never know how to set it up until now :P
I'm glad I helped 😊
This thing that barometer and time sync can't work same time is really disapointing?! It would be great if you could leave it on and when weather changes you get signal .. and still can receive time change ?
That is interesting about the date the watch was manufactured. My 5610 has 262H at the end of the code so the 262nd day of 2018 which is only about a month or so before I purchased it.
Ok, wtf
@@yeaa6069 what?
Really clear and straightforward video. Thanks.
+Andres Reza thanks :)
Great video mate. Thanks a lot!!
Another great Video! My number on the case back has an "A" so I assume the watch was made in 2021. I kind of skipped the altimeter since I don't think I will use that function often but will come back to it once I have mastered the other capabilities of the watch. Question... is there a way of clearing the barometer so it can start over? Anyway, another great video and I appreciate the time you spent putting it together. I almost went for a Mudman but given the ~60mm size and cost of close over $600 I passed on that model and bought the GW 9400 from Amazon for $330, Really impressed with my first GShock! Thanks again!
Thank you very much for helping this is a very awesome watch very rugged really put together well made thank you for sharing this watch thank you so much 🏆👍
Very informative and very simple to understand. Thank you
Very informative video. Thank you so much
Hello, I wonder if some Gshock may not have this code with the serial number, the factory where it was made, which you mention at the end of the video? I'm asking because I noticed that there is no such thing in the G-7710 brother.
Just got my watch, everything already set like I like it but I can't figure out how to set 24 hour time...?
Check out Part 1, there under "setting time, date etc. You will find the 12/24 hour setup, you have a table of contents in the description of that video so you can jump to that part
That was a lot! Quite useful, indeed! Many thanks.
You made it really easy to operate the watch thankyou. i bought a rangeman and wanted to ask a question. My compass only displays bearings and the direction for around 40 seconds and then goes blank, it resumes only after i press C button. Is that how it is supposed to be. Thanks
Excellent on how to use all the features 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you for educating the masses
Very professional tutorial as usual. Tank you.
excellent video--great job explaining it all
Great video, my watch doesn't have a serial # like yours, does it mean it's fake .Please let me kmow if I have to return it. Thanks
According to other videos about this issue, there are two specific ways to tell: in regular timekeeping mode, press button E (upper left) and the day of the week window should change to the barometric trend graph (little dots forming lines), and check the cat logo on the back - it should have sharp outlines (compare to videos on youtube). If it passes those two tests, it's real. The baro graph is the quickest and easiest test.
@@threadripper979
Thanks but I have already had the watch validated by a dealer, Happy holidays
Hi!
I have watched your videos several times, because you explain it really very well and understandable. I have already bought the Rangeman for the second time, because the first has snatched my son 😅
Now I have my new Rangeman not that long, maybe 2 months max. I wanted to use the compass and found that it was totally misaligned. I did the calibration as you also show in the videos, but it still shows the cardinal directions wrong. I can only imagine that I was at my friend's workshop where he also has strong magnets and that something may have been misaligned there.
Is there a way to completely reset the clock to factory settings! Because I find nothing on the Internet about it. It annoys me that the compass can no longer be calibrated. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
Is it possible that my rangeman was made in 2011? it says A at the end as a code. and it was made in the same factory as yours.
A can also be 2021. I just got a GW-9400-1 and it has B on it so most likely 2022. It cycles through the letters for every 10 years so the letter really only tells you the last digit, but if you didn't buy it before 2021 it's pretty safe to assume it was made in 2021 I'd say.
same here, just purchased it (september 2022) and the last letter is A, so either my watch is eleven years old or is from 2021... quite a dillema
**scratch that, the rangeman was released in 2013, it means my watch is from 2021
Very clear and concise instructions , Thankyou
+Lee Jeffrey thanks
Great tutorial bro. The best.
Thank you for all the detailed explanations ! 👍 I just received a brand new black and yellow gw9400 and the serial shows ''A'' which dates the watch back to minimum 2011. Is it possible since this model just came out recently?
It has to be 2021 since now we are in the “new” 2020’s
Thank you for excellent review, really I don't hear ever like your explanation
Thanks thanks
And i wish to do review for most of pro
G shock watches 🌹🌹
15:05 you don't need to take off the watch to get the right temperature reading. Only have to do is adjust the reading while the watch is on your wrist /15 min at least/ to the thermometer in the room where you are. You can get pretty accurate temperature readings like this while wearing your watch.
Makes sense. Good to know. Thanks
What if you are outdoors? No thermometer to compare there.
@@MrCarpen7er Adjust if you have thermometer near you once. After that you don't need to do anything just check the temperature wherever you are.
I'm confused by these instructions. Please clarify....
Doesn't work like that
Hi, i am completely new to the GSHOCK WATCH, is there any difference between this model and the blackout? Apart from colour? I’m just wandering why this is more expensive than the blackout version?
Omg i got this watch last week. It makes my head spin..i wish you lived in houston area id bring it to you to set up! Lol
That seems like a big task, but it actually is pretty easy when you have this thing in your hand!
Personal choice but I really like the blackout version of this watch.
i own it. looks beautiful but hard to see the numbers compared to positive display
Can't live with the black display~ soo happy the save the ocean edition was positive displayed
Hate the negative display on that one. The most illegible one yet.
You can turn on auto illlumination. Much easier to see. I've got my black panther just about a month. Hate it at first as i dificult to see the numbers. But discovered that it has an auto illumination function. Now i love it more..
I just got the blackout version & it is very difficult to read. Has to be a very well lit area without using the illumination.
Thanks for posting this!
HELLO just seen your part one and I will be getting mine TOMORROW can't wait but you vid is very helpful ,THANKS for the insight and as well I subscribe to your channel so keep the uploads coming !!! :-) :-)
+weedXD38 thank you for the subscription, you should check the Rangeman going to the sky video, and the Atomic sync demo, they were fun to make :)
Watch Geek thanks again I definitely will be checking it out!!! :-) :-)
Thanks for this tutorial. I just received my Rangeman in the mail today and I notice that the barometric pressure graph is kind of all over the place. No up or down, just dots in some spots. Do you think this might be because it's been in a box for 5 days enroute to my home? I'd hate to think it's malfunctioning.
Just give it time in the open air
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Great tutorial, I just received this Rangeman with carbon fiber strap from Japan, according to your explanation about fabrication date I looked it up on the back, it was produced in 2017. More than 4 years old, is that normal?
Remember this video was 5 years old when you posted
Can the Altimeter be calibrated? Mine is way out from the given elevation for my area. I think the temperature and Altimeters are a bit of a gimmick.
I'm looking for the same thing. my entire state is basically at sea level, and the watch says I'm at 255' in elevation
Adjust button, your altitude changes with pressure!! That means you need to do a calibration before you leave for a hike or whatever! Weather changes pressure , so that means the altitude changes. It’s simple.
@@JAMESWUERTELE Hi James, thank you for your reply, but I'M still not convinced.
Not convinced the barometer changes?! The altitude is calculated off of the one and only pressure sensor on this watch! Same as an aircraft, same as the weather service. Density of altitude, ie changes day to night.
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Back of my rangeman says 202A084B whats date was it made? Great video
The 84th day of 2022
I got mine back in 2014 with the same 202A.
@@mf6532I think 202A is the factory code where the watch was assembled. My watch is made in Thailand and has the exact same 202A followed by the day of the year and the letter for the year, which is C because I bought the watch recently, or it could be ten years old. I hope it's not the case. I don't know if this watch is still produced or is discontinued.
@@fuloplehel Still in production.
I'm outside auto atomic time updating zone (India) so I have to do it manually. But when I enter R/C mode, my A,C and E buttons don't work. Plz help with this.
That's because you are outside of the zone and the watch knows it
Great review as usual ... well done ... however, if you were to choose one watch between this gw9400 & the prw2500 titanium ... which one would u choos?
That's a tough one...
The rangeman has better sensors and is a G-Shock, but that duplex LCD of the PRW looks SO COOL.
I would probably end up getting both 😄
Hahaha ... you are absolutly right about both... I have the PRG 270D for 4 years now ... great watch ... I wanna have another digital analogue triple sensor tough solar watch with sunrise sunset ... any suggestions please 😅
Gulfmaster
Well done a very nice and informative review 🍻👏👏👏👏👏
KLASSE. GUTE BESCHREIBUNG!!!
Vielen dank
Is this beautiful watchs’ temperature sensor be able to tell the water temperature underwater?
Just got my Rangeman. In spite of your excellent tutorials, I will need to watch both tutorials multiple times before this watch becomes 'a part of me'. Could you please explain how to date the watch again? I suppose Googling for day of year is easy, but I have no clue as to how to tell the year. Thank you.
P S: My watch is numbered 202A131C, if this helps?
P P S: My watch alarm makes no sound, is there a fix...I'm past the return window.
The Rangeman was introduced in 2013 and my batch number states that my battery is from either 2001 or 2011. Does this sound right?? 🤔
More likely 2021
I have this watch for a year now...
But recently I got scratch on it...
can I replace the glass, where can I buy new glass.
Dont do that ! At least you know it has done some time not just storage
try looking for that glass in the interwebs, can be replaced.
thx for the great video. got my gw9400 for a week now - but barometer keeps the same value 1018hPa, even when the graph changes up and down from sunny day to a storm (graph works correctly) - can you explain why the numeric value is not changing? (it only changes the altimeter height +- 30 metres, but the watch is on the same level, not travelling)
I find this very annoying and not working properly.
if barometric graph changes, so should the baro value, isn't it?
Hi . I have a new rangeman , and a backplate serial last letter is A , which is 2011 year . But the rangeman released in 2013 , if I'm right . - so what the "A" means ?
was a black friday , so abit worried if they sold an old model - but it can be a 2021 mfg date ?
Remember this video is 6 years old
After eyeing these up over the years I've just bought one. Had to pay at the top end of the price scale via Amazon global as there doesn't seem to any UK based sellers.☹️
I've been through this video a few times and still can't figure out the altimeter. I set the elevation to my home at 95m according to Google earth but it changes drastically when I go somewhere and come back. Am I missing something?
has anyone ever confirmed with gshock that this thing reads when its in timekeeping mode? I know its reading barometer or it wouldnt have a graph but in other modes. temp alti. is it reading or changing? i duno, think not.
Altimeter shows -14 in Perth Australia, does it make sense?
Watch the tutorial for the altimeter and you'll understand
i believe you need to look up your elevation in your area through google and manually insert it in the watch.
@@WatchGeek duh
Iggy nor yes it makes sense. It is based off atmospheric pressure.
You need to give it an accurate baseline elevation and then any data point taken from thereafter, will be very accurate.
Fantastic review !!!! I bought mine yesterday. The batch Nr is 202A240H. In the review i see the batch Nr in my casio, its from 2008 or 2018 ? Hmmm its like 10 years different .
This Rangeman was released in 2013. Now try to use you brain...
Please, do review & tutorial on Casio protrek PRG-240-1DR(SL47).
Most detailed information 👍
👍 good video!! What i want to know is how do you keep all this info in your head straight.
Haha I do use notes to make sure I don't miss a function, but how they operate I do keep in my head
Also, these watches do have manuals... 😉
Wondering, how different are the features of this watch from the SGW 1000?
Does the temp sensor work in water?
yes
GREAT VIDEOS! THANK YOU. I have a negative display 6900...i do not have any trouble reading it....my question is would the green Rangeman with the negative display be the same to read as the negative 6900? Thank you in advance.
Yes, they should be pretty similar
@@WatchGeek thank you Sir.
How I can change altimeter from feet to m?
It's in part 1 video, he explained it. It is in the adjust mode inside clock setting i think
Thanks
This is a great video. I have a question for you. Why that every time you press the mode button, why does the indicator shut off? Please get back to me when you read this comment. Than k You Sir.
Michael Kish do you mean the "eye"?
I meant the RC indicator?
+Michael Kish ah, the RC indicator will disappear if you:
1. manually change the time
2. Change the home city
3. Change the longitude and latitude
Hey man I bought the watch today and it says 202A045I so is it good or bad?:)
Manufactured on 15 the Feb,2019..So good.!
..........
Does the Rangeman really has stronger sound that GWG 2000? this is the case for me, I have both Rangeman and Mudmaster GWG2000
That was very helpful. Thx a lot
How can you get accurate temp readings its saying its 28c when outside is 7c
I also want to know
Are you taking the reading while it’s on your wrist? If so your body heat will be interfering with the temp reading. Take it off and let it adjust to get a proper reading.
Can i buy this watch in 2020??
Yeah. Type in gw-9400 on Amazon. They're like $200
Actually it looks like the price has started going up, you might have to shop around for a better deal
Yep. Also 2021. Just over $200 on Amazon
Great tutorial Thanks!!!
Hi, i'm planning to buy the rangeman soon. Just wanna ask how accurate are the 3 sensors and does the barometer function works while your inside a building or do you have to be outside? and also is there a different gshock model with 3 sensor or abc function that is better in your opinion compared to the rangeman? Thanks and more power to your channel!
All the sensors are very accurate except thermometer. But that is because it gets affected by your wrist so it is also accurate if you take off your watch and leave it for 15-20 minutes off wrist.
The barometer works inside buildings as well since they are not pressurised.
The only better is the Gulfmaster as it has an additional depth sensor, but all the other sensors are the same v3 generation as this
@@WatchGeek Thanks for the response. Actually i've been eyeing the gulfmaster already for quite some time but I think it's just too big and bulky for my wrist and also a bit more pricey than the rangeman. Although love the looks of the gulfmaster but I think i'm gonna go with the rangeman for now.
My compass does not work. I tried to calibrate but it keeps showing North or NW when I turned it around. Any advice? Thanks.
I don't know how to help you.
Are you sure it's a genuine Casio Rangeman?
