Yup got mine back in August 2016 with the manufacturer date of January 13 2016 so it was fairly new and my battery has recently run dried or died out for not using it for a couple years! (Got into an Apple Watch Series 6😖) Luckily I recharged it back to High and still running like a tank! Love my Rangeman still!😎🤙🏻
Just a quick thing on the barometer, this is my 3rd watch with triple sensor I learned a pretty good trick with the barometer with my 2nd Protrek. When setting up your barometer set the temperature 1st then the pressure by using the weather network or if you use IPhone use the weather app. I noticed for the last 8 years that the heat of your body doesn’t interfere with your watch thermometer or sensor. I did a research on it and I fact it doesn’t read your body heat, it’s made to sense air pressure and moist in the air,, with that calculates the temperature and pressure. But it needs help to get it right,, for example the 1st time I tried it it was 33c• so I set it as the weather network. Later that afternoon the I checked the watch to see the temp. It gave me 27c• I checked my app and it was right on spot even the pressure was right. Not my body heat. Even at home the temp is set at 22c• for heat during the winter the watch gives me 19. 4 as it can only sense the air in the house. The furnace thermometer is set to start when it feels below 2 degrees deference. But the watch will only change in 1.5 degree different when the furnace is running after that,, the watch will start loosing heat sense and goes back to 19.4 or 19.1 each room has a different temp. Check it out, Casio made it so accurate that no other company has manage to recreate. From protrek 270 to Rangeman GW9400 it’s amazing, I am now waiting for my GWG1000. Good luck guys enjoy the outdoors I enjoy when hunting and finishing. Happy New Year 2019
+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
Hi Marin, I just wanted to thank you for your videos, parts 1 and 2, on the Rangeman. Watching them, and a number of your other videos, helped me decide which to buy... and then rewatching them once I'd obtained my chosen watch helped me really get to know the watch in depth - Far better than straining my eyes, trying to work through the tiny manual. Far more engaging than some dry PDF file downloaded. Far more informative and detailed than any other video on the internet! My new Rangeman and I sincerely thank you... and we both owe you a pint, if ever you're visiting the UK!! Massive hugs, Sarrienne!
Thank you for your time in doing this. Been wearing my Rangeman for 3 years, and you showed me so much the watch can do, That I had no idea how to use. Thank you.
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
Telling your exact elevation is not its purpose, without gps its not really possible. On the other hand it will tell elevation difference pretty accurately
@@truthisbusiness1564 as i explained it before. Its for measuring elevation difference not exact elelevation altough it will tell that too within a hundred or so meters. Since it doesnt have gps built in it can only rely on air pressure data, but since weather can also change air pressure it can throw off the measurment but only by 50-100 meters. If you start trekking set the elevation at home and it will be accurate thruout the day. Or dont set it and it will tell you the elevation difference from you zero point. It is a very sensitive sensor by the way and can measure 1 meter difference even
This is hands down the best two tutorials for the rangeman! Just got the blacked out on yesterday! I love it. Just getting used to negative display is hard.
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
Thanks you for the no nonsense straight to the point tutorial!! I love this watch even more now. I feel more confident in its feature and functionality
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
I didn't know my watch had all those features man you're a lifesaver that is so cool I never really use the alternator unless I go camping or hiking and I just put it on but I like how it'll read out the numbers tell you the elevation how high you are I like that a lot then watching the the bars going up I like to be really precise in that does it for me thank you so much have a great holiday man you get you know these casio's so well 👍💕👍💕🏆
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. It has helped me get to grips with my Rangeman much quicker. Its an excellent watch and does so many things which is overwhelming! Love Casio G-Shocks
Great job walking me through this new watch. I was dreading having to read the thick little book with tiny print. I'm all set now, thank you for taking the time to put this together
I own this watch as well as GW6900, GBA800 and GW-M5610 1ER G-shocks. I've learned so much from your excellent reviews, keep up the good work. G-shocks rule.
Thanks to your video i realized by your mention about the serial number, that mine was 11 years old! Now i'm sending it back for getting a new one. Great video. Thank you.
Money no object buy whatever you like. If you work for a living, Casio is the only choice (imo). The marathon tsar i bought died in a year. The cheapest Casio I own ( ~$25) is still running I think they put in a magic battery cause I haven’t had it changed yet and I forget how long ago I purchased it.
Thank you so much! Yours are some of the highest quality reviews, for anything, on TH-cam...all I know about my new Rangeman comes from you! QUESTION: can you tell me why my Barometer seems to function fully for a couple days with readout then all the data disappears for a day or so, finally coming back only to disappear again? Really frustrating as I'm guiding and running outdoor programs in the Rockies...thank you!
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.
@@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
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! Its' Birthday: 06/20/2019 Price: $191.00
@@RandoRak You won't regret it. Mine was made in Q2-2017, and I have been wearing it every day since mid 2018. Dusty environment with occasional proximity to heat(150C-175C). Basically bought it so it can work reliably in harsher conditions.
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
Great video! You've left nothing out. Waiting on my Rangeman to be delivered in the next couple of days. I would love to see your video on Casio Oceanus OCW-S100. It's the watch I've been pondering for about a year now. €500 is €500 :)
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.
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!
I absolutely love this design I own 2 but find the buttons press too easily by accident too often and it’s very complicated to use and setup and it doesn’t get a satellite signal hardly ever at all even though my frogman has no problem receiving a signal daily
You might have info on, in the barometer mode. This will prevent your rangeman from being able to use the power save mode and receiving the atomic signal at night. That or you live outside of the atomic tower range where it will still pick the signal up
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!
this is an old Video, but a very good tutorial. i am planning to get this watch and downloaded the manua, had no idea how to use all These functions until i´ve seen the video...who the f gave a thumbs down ?!
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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 😅
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?
I just got to say it’s an awesome watch. Got the negative display version. Think I may be regretting it being the display is very hard to see. I will keep it just for the looks. I really just use it for the time. Lol
hi , i got mine from Amazon 2 days ago and it has the serial number 202A136I i assume it means 13/6 /2019 and i set it up with the help of your videos so thank you .
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.
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.
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 .
@@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.
Thanks, but how could correct the barometric graphic? There are some gabs? I live in Korea, how could set for the correct barometric pressure and temperature?
U are awesome my friend...i have a question regarding the altimeter...why many readings come in the same spot in different times of using...even in tissot touch as well
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.

In Manual it is even written than before you want to measure temperature, you need to take off watch and put on shelf/desk for 15-20 minutes!

This was more helpful than thee book that came with it
Just got this watch. Merry Christmas
Congrats and merry Christmas to you too
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 👍😊
I absolutely love this design I own 2 but find the buttons press too easily by accident too often and it’s very complicated to use and setup and it doesn’t get a satellite signal hardly ever at all even though my frogman has no problem receiving a signal daily
You might have info on, in the barometer mode. This will prevent your rangeman from being able to use the power save mode and receiving the atomic signal at night. That or you live outside of the atomic tower range where it will still pick the signal up
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!
this is an old Video, but a very good tutorial. i am planning to get this watch and downloaded the manua, had no idea how to use all These functions until i´ve seen the video...who the f gave a thumbs down ?!
Wonderful tutorial. Thanks so much for all your hard work putting this together.
Thanks a lot for this video
Receive my Rangeman today 24th Sep.2022
perfectly understood how to use ABC sensors
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.
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
Great video, I'll forget most of it, till I need it. Thumbs up
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?
Excellent tutorial bro. That helpful tip at the end was the cherry on the icing on the cake.

Nice and fresh! I love mine but it's been a headache trying o familiarise myself with all the functions. These videos have been a heaven send
Excellent video..you just helped me to decide how much I want this watch.....!!!!!!keep making beautiful video...!!!!
Thanks and congrats on a new watch to be 😊
i will receive my rangeman by tomorrow,and ur video really help me man. tq so much 👍🏿
Good Job man, had the watch for 2 years never know how to set it up until now :P
I'm glad I helped 😊
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
Great tutorial as always. Ive just ordered the rangeman.
+Bilko Prince thanks and congrats, I am sure you will enjoy it 👍
Watch Geek got my rangeman yesterday. Wow. Awesome watch. And thanks again this has been very useful.
+Bilko Prince congrats and I hope you enjoy it for years to come 👍
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 😅

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
I just got to say it’s an awesome watch. Got the negative display version. Think I may be regretting it being the display is very hard to see. I will keep it just for the looks. I really just use it for the time. Lol
You can set the watch light to come on automatically when you move your wrist to look at the time that helps alot with the negative display
@@DAVEHARSTON oh that is set. No way i couldn't set that up. Moments i wouldn't be able to see the time with out it. lol
hi , i got mine from Amazon 2 days ago and it has the serial number 202A136I i assume it means 13/6 /2019
and i set it up with the help of your videos so thank you .
Great video mate. Thanks a lot!!
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.

Thanks but I have already had the watch validated by a dealer, Happy holidays
I am definitely going to keep Parts 1 and 2. Great presentation! Many thanks.
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.
Really great info....thanks for giving us some valuable data.
Chris.
+chris scott I'm glad I was of assistance :)
Man , you know almost everything about the watch
thank you for sharing your informations
Haha thanks for watching 😁
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 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... 😉
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...
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.
Really clear and straightforward video. Thanks.
+Andres Reza thanks :)
Thanks, but how could correct the barometric graphic? There are some gabs? I live in Korea, how could set for the correct barometric pressure and temperature?
U are awesome my friend...i have a question regarding the altimeter...why many readings come in the same spot in different times of using...even in tissot touch as well
Because they all calculate altitude from air pressure, and air pressure changes with weather
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
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!
I like it it's a great watch but I like my amaze fit pro better because of the colored screen thank you for sharing 🏆
Lmao
