Man this is amazing. The colour coding of the face and hands is genius. I'm sure there is no better guide for the GPW anywhere on the internet. I'm definitely giving this endevour a shout out on my next video plus a link to the video in the comments. I imagine you needed a lie down in a darkened room after all that, some of it genuinely made my mind spin like the 3/6 year settings and manual year setting. Wow. Some other observations: 1. I had no idea about the flight log groups 2. The top tip was new to me also, I'd actually come across that issue in the past when a key dial was obscured by the minute hand 3. The complexity of this watch makes me marvel at it, it's like a work of art, the hours of investment, R&D and manufacturing are mind blowing and I can't imagine there are many more comparable watches that are so durable and solar in the world and I think they are a dying breed 4. For purely practical reasons I do think a digital screen helps for a watch of this complexity but the classic nature of it means it actually suits to be fully analogue 5. Linked to point 4, thank heavens for G-Shock Connect App on this watch as it makes it immeasurably more accessible 6. Your patience is God-like lol
I'm so pleased you found some new informations on your GPW-2000, and the flight log is really good for general time stamps too, not just for tracking your points.... very complex, but nice it has two sides with regards to all out Bluetooth or full on manually setting it up :)) The hand shift top tip is used often as that can be near impossible to see the world time sub-dial... I'm guessing you're wearing more after watching it LML :-P Cheers for the shout-out in the next video for your GPW-2000, it's nice to have a good varied amount of help from us hey, and you certainly cover the finer points really well... love your shirt sleeve video, was again really well done, didn't comment, but did like and watch it all :)) Thanks again and wish you a lovely weekend ahead my good friend :))
@@mugwhamp The GPW-2000 is a G-Shock that once understood becomes a very crucial watch, it really does keep track of time so you can enjoy winding those mechanical watches up LML :-P
For some reason the wheel on my watch had been unwinded and it had screwed up all the settings. I thought I had to take it to the dealership to reset it but I watched your guide and after calibrating everything and resetting bluetooth, I managed to get it running properly. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing work you have done on this guide. You are a lif saver sir.
For some reason I only just saw this video has been posted. Weird, it didn't come up on my notifications. I need to carve out a good window of time and fresh pot of tea to commence this properly but I can already see it's a superb effort, a labour of love. Bring it on!
My friend, together we will conquer this watch so it really is shown to those who are interested... I told you it will be a big video, but wasn't expecting over an hour let alone two LML :-P But hey, new instructions :))) Turn you notification of on my channel then select it again, that should help for next time... which is tomorrow, yep, busy boy LML :-P Very welcome for the shoutout, you deserve it, plus I want to see 1k subs on your channel plus thousands more! Chat in a few months once you've finished the video :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman ah I thought I had notifications on but it seems not. I do now though :) I can't wait to absorb this video fully so I can see how much of the GPW functionality I didn't even know I have at my fingertips...
@@stormrider1119 Cheers buddy... there might be two that you didn't know about, one being my top tip :)) Excited to know your thoughts and experience later :)
Dear Mr. Rangeman - your manual looks more intuitive and comprehensive than CASIOs - good job man! And greetings from Germany! (Yes, indeed, your fanbase is located even in Europe! :D
Hey buddy, or should I be really old school and say Grüß :)) This was big project, and I can understand why it hasn't be braved to tutorial, well there is a Russian guy who takes these on, but for those wanting the English then there wasn't any video really... I chatted to StormRide thinking maybe I need to make a tutorial, and wasn't really going to effort, but he said it really needed my style on this watch, as it's such an incredible piece of tech, think about if it was on a larger scale with all those motors spinning around upon button and crown actions, would be very complex, so when it's in a watch, then mind boggles LML :-P I've done a similar manual for my Garmin tutorials, and also I made a new G-Shock tutorial called the DWS-6900TM, now that's a G-Shock dedicated fan made video :-P Cheers for the support and feedback my friend... have some wonderful German friends, and they laugh at my Swiss German LML :-P
I would like to thank you for such a detailed tutorial for a complicated module. I wasn’t understanding anything on its original manual 😂 till i came across ur tutorial. 🤝
Your tutorials are good reason to consider G-shock watches for the watch appreciation community. Sadly the CASIO G-Shock Gravitymaster GPW-2000 is no longer available in the USA market; it is a watch I wanted to purchase.(It has been replaced by Gravitymaster GWR-B1000X Carbon Monocoque G-Shock pilot watch). Again my appreciation for the excellent work you provide, and it should be noted by Casio-G-shock home office and marketing for their appreciation as well. :)
Yes, the GPW-2000 has been off line for a little while, guess it was too much to make... for me it's like a MR-G in resin :)) There's a few deals floating on the secondary market, so maybe you'll get lucky :) I absolutely love it, and it is my travelling watch :)) Cheers for you massive amount of feedback, really does make me feel I've done good for the G-Shock community :))
I just got the Gravitymaster GPW 2000 3AJF after waiting for 3 years. I finally have this beauty. Love the tiny details that make this watch a true Masterpiece and since most of the New Stock is Dwindling I was glad to be able to get one before it went dry. I got a Brand New un-used watch. Perfect timing as well as I have the day off and I can thoroughly watch your Tutorial as this is such a complex watch. The Smartphone makes it easy but I still would like to know how to manually setup the watch.
The amount of care, love and thought that has gone into producing this work is astounding. I wanted to get a Gravitymaster and was on the fence between GPW-2000 and GWR B-1000. Went with the latter.. However, this one is unique and amazing too. I can't wait until you get your hands on the GWG-1000 ^^
Hey buddy, and cheers for your support... yes, was a two week in the making for this, as making the instructions was the only way to really make anyone understand it, hopefully the instructions would work without the video, but always nice to have some company while learning :) I'm looking forward to that day too... just have some projects I need to order first, then I will see who will loan me one :) Just to add, a video will be live tomorrow, even though it's a small video, it still took a while to create, but very original and exclusive to WatchUP69 :))
I did make this video before, but now with my own instructions, it's really the ultimate tutorial for this watch... there's a really cool channel that review his GPW-2000, but it's in Russian, so now that gap has been crossed... cheers for the support my friend :))
Cheers buddy... I had it almost wrapped up, then left out a chunk of film, so I've probably watched it over 10 times at least, thus why I didn't kill myself to post every week, rather make quality over chitchat on a brand that will dissolve in that week LML :-P
Great explanation for some one who is Dyslexic like me over the years I have found to help me use my talents for Mechanical and gadgets to be no much off a problem to me the was one construction company that would only employ dyslexic architects and quantity surveyors because they found them to be the best at the jobs because they have to remember everything I would be asking it worker how did you remember to do that we Forgot about that
I finally managed to watch the video undisturbed and in full length. One of the coolest G-Shocks. I also saw your PDF and your newest videos. I don't know if you're doing all this work by yourself. It's absolutely impressive.
Hey buddy... it's a brilliant G-Shock, and very much packed with tech backed up with all those motors :) I made everything myself with the instruction layout, but did take the pictures from the original manual and tweaked them to complement the learning experience. There is a few parts repeated in the video, but anyone hitting time stamps needs to have everything in detail. I've learnt the watch, so don't need the instructions, but was good to have the instructions so anyone watching won't get lost :-P Thanks for the feedback and support as always :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I meant that it is a lot of work for one person. I can't imagine how much time it all takes. Sometimes I feel a bit stupid because I don't upload my own content. You are absolutely right that you should create something yourself than just copy it. I want to change that and maybe make my own music remixes when I find the time. But that doesn't belong here. I have another question. I usually don't buy watches from Amazon, I use other watch shops. But if I would buy from Amazon, I would use this Amazon link from you. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Is this link only possible for the UK? Seems to be so. I can't find this on my Amazon site.
@@MartinLuetzelberger Cheers buddy :) When I get into an idea then time isn't an issue, as I really enjoy the making part, and am wanting it to useful, the instructions really help with this watch, and I feel more instructions will follow :) Don't worry about the Amazon side, but appreciate the thought :)) Let me know when you start creating content, would happily share your channel regardless if it's not watches :)) Cheers!
You are incredible! Thank you for taking the time to design and explain in such a level of detail and that too simplifying it and making it so extremely easy for anyone to understand. You are so humble and patient with your words. Fantastic video quality. All the close-up shots are crisp. Casio should pay you for the amazing amount of work you put in. Wow! Coming from an art and design background, I’m so impressed with everything you’ve done and shared here. I bow my hat to you, sir. Thank you for kindly!
This is excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do this! I also loved the GPS Rangeman tutorial and the tests you performed on it - Switzerland and back and the altitude test. Thanks again.
Thank you my friend, so pleased you enjoyed :) I did a few Switzerland GPS videos, and was gunning to make the solar Instinct, but hey, maybe this year??? Thanks again and for the support :)
Tip for those with more than one GPW-2000: You can register more than one Gravitymaster in the Casio app. The app will simply name the 2nd one to GPW-2000_2. Both will successfully connect/sync. Also the flight log points are stored separately per watch. No mixing of the points between the two.
You've done it again. Excellent content as always. Indeed this watch was missing a good tutorial with the ones available doing little to explain what it could do. Now all that remains is for you to write a book on these G-Shocks lol.
Now that's the side I was worried about.... making an instructional manual for all my G-Shock tutorials LML :-P But for this GPW-2000, it really needed a full on tutorial, and my first attempt was just going through it in my light box, but felt like it would be confusing, so then wrote an instruction on a one sheet, then the 17 pages flowed from there, it also made it easier to navigate through the tutorial... I know it has a few repeats, but for anyone who's just hitting the time stamps, then they would miss parts out... so wasn't easy to get this right, but recently I've spent a lot of time on the last few videos, and feel I need to just have a breather before showing some easier reviews. Thanks for your support as always my friend, means a lot from you :)))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman production quality is getting better. I like the out of the box style to explain what the watch can do and the previous one like that was definitely unique and intuitive. Keep up the good work :)
@@traviswalker8933 I really appreciate that my friend, you've been most loyal to the channel, and nice to have you G-Shock wisdom too :) I would like to have more time and a film crew, as I have many ideas, but alone it's not possible, so make what I have trying to show all the details... have missed out on many adventures last year, and this year already, so will make a GG-B100 followup video soon filming outside... have some more tests I want to try, you know, pointless ones I enjoy so much LML :-P That DWS-6900TM was a big amount of work, but it was something I needed to show, and it's got many ideas from viewers, so nice to see something on film... I wonder if CASIO are watching and more importantly "listening" LML :-P Cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I hope Casio hasn't forgotten their way to your videos as you did mention feedback from Casio on your previous channel. A film crew would be good for an adventure video, maybe you could do a collab with Storm rider for tests on the Mudmaster. I don't consider myself to be the ultimate guru. I did learn from everyone here and by experience as I bought more G-Shocks. There is still a lot I'm learning about but hey, this hobby is all about learning and supporting each other. Thanks a bunch for your kind words :)
@@traviswalker8933 Supporting each other is the key, a combined amount of knowledge with exploring the new, but it's nice to have that side where nobody is behaving like a snob :-P Just to add, new video tomorrow, and you will love it, as it's very original... it's under 4 mins long, but still took a day to make LML :-P
Wow, what an amazing video. This is a must watch if you are interested in the gpw2000. If you want to learn more about g shocks in general, check out this video. So much time and effort into making this. He is a great source for all things g shock.
I have a great sense of being geek, hopefully not dull during LML :-P Cheers for the massive amount of support, and making this video had to be really covering it all, and writing my own instructions made it also easier for me to explain... I can adjust everything in the watch from memory just to add, but reading on screen was the most challenging, but I pushed myself and I feel comfortable with it... thanks again for the continuous support :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman My sincerest pleasure, my friend. Crocodile burgers? I ate the whole beast and kept the popcorn for your grand finale. 😋 The Gravitymaster looks like really a simple watch, but packed with useful tools. 😊
@@Daud76 You nailed it... on one side it's a pussy cat playing with popcorn with just leaving it playing with Bluetooth... but unleash that crown and cats are bait for crocs coming from all directions LML :-P Upon first look you think it's just a simple analog with maybe a chrono, but take a deeper look, and then things are complex... there's 10 things that work on the watch excluding button actions, but with 9 moving parts on the dial and the backlight that makes 10... button presses and strap releases now takes it to at least 69 LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman 69 pushes on the crown with your left side big toe will unlock a hidden feature that not many know about. But you need to push crown the same time as pressing "adjust" with your little finger on your right hand. To make matters worse, you need to do this while the Gravitymaster is on your wrist. 😄 Exactly. She looks simple analogue, but looks can be deceiving. 😋
Yes, many days, well, two weeks really to get it right, and reading on camera was an immense challenge for me, but as I wrote the instructions it did make things easier.... cheers for the support as always my friend :))
Thank you my good friend, really glad you enjoy this level of detail... The instructions really helped me too, even though I know the watch with all it can do, but making a tutorial with the GPW-2000 has many repeats to functions, so the reason why the video went for so long, but with time stamps you can navigate to the point you need the most. I'm getting asked to make more instructions now LML :-P Thanks again for your support :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I cannot emphasize enough how useful these tutorials are. I'm surprised Casio (are you listening Casio?) hasn't retained you permanently.
@@billhughes9648 I'm sure they are listening, but maybe it's because I'm so cheeky on that side, and have just gone and created my own instructions so now they feel foolish??? I do like their instructions, but it really doesn't go from any direction in order, whereas I like to go from the basics then to the more complex things, as I feel it's easier on the mind to absorb... thanks again my friend, really makes me happy knowing this is a good video :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman how many people do you know that would drive the Alps to fully vet a series of smart watches ... at their own expense? You.. that’s it. You are indeed a Casio devotee like few I know.
@@billhughes9648 When I have an idea, I really love to share it, and those videos took a lot of time and patience, as for each shot I had to stop and adjust 7 camera's, plus show what is happening on the watches...

Cheers once again my friend, really encouraging to hear you say that :)))
Mr. Rangeman, thank's a lot for all the videos and tutorials. I can optimazer the use of my Rangeman and Gravity máster Gpw-2000 better after watch your videos. Thank you
Cheers buddy... that GPW-2000 isn't an easy one to memorise all it can do on the manual side... I've learnt how to, but am sure if I don't use it often enough, I will be watching myself LML :-P Just bought a new battery for ZX12R... now looking for tyres, have you had experience with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corse 3's???
@@WatchUP69MrRangemanExcuse me Mr Rangeman to write you back to late. When I bought my CBR 1000 RR had on the Pirelli Corsa Rosso. In my opinion, all Pirellis tyres are amazing. Depend what do want and how many kms or milles you Drive per year. Because some of them are really soft with a high greap, but when you Drive hard in 3000 milles ir 5000, you need to change. From more than 6 years I use Brigestone Bt016. When is cold and wet work really good and for summer is a perfect compromise. I made around 20.000kms . I living on Tenerife, Canary Island, we have a good weather all the year and I use everyday that I need, so this is my experiencia. Pd: I love your bike ZX12R, Kawasaki never sold this model in Spain.
@@pacoguallar992 Hey buddy, no worries for time to reply :)) Thank you for your amazing reply, and you covered all there is to know :)) My ZX12R is a toy, so only use it for nice days... I've currently got BT16's on at the moment, but the front tyre isn't as good as the Pilot Powers I had before, but the rear is better, but don't like to mix match brands. The tyres on the ZX12R need to have a high speed rating, also the tyre walls need to be solid... I'd rather have grip than long term, so am looking about 5000km's on the rear, as I do like to gun the throttle on a sensible level, and the ZX12R is pushing 198bhp with Ram-Air and she's very torque happy :-P I've just taken her for a spin this morning and great to ride her again, but she needs new treads! I also have a vintage Honda RD03 HRC which has been with me for over 18yrs now, and together we've seen most of Europe... this has been my favourite bike I've owned, it's not about the power as she only has 56bhp, it's more about the connection we have... I've been looking at other bikes, but feel having big horse power from the Ninja and the endurance from the Honda, I don't see anything I would want... I do like the Honda's, and almost bought an RC30 for CHF6500 when I lived in Switzerland. I liked the original CBR900R's when they came out, something about it that I still like even today... I prefer the CBR's over the R1's and Gixer's if you're curious, and I don't really have a grail bike... but certainly not a Harley, ridden a few and just don't like how much is involved to make them do anything, so to those ride them, are more passionate than me, as I prefer a bike that needs work, but also works well :-P Thanks again my friend, really appreciate your time to reply :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hello again, thank's to you for write me back. The last years are coming a new tires from Pirelli, Michelin, Brigestone and Dunlop. Most if the raiders here un Tenerife are using Michelin Power One, because they warm fast and have a good compromise between grip and kms., Another use de last Dunlop model, I think is a D212, and the rest Pirelli Super Corsa. About Corsa Rosso III, I was reading today, they talk about is a good compromise for a circuit and for the normal Road, and depend of has you use can do arround 7000-10000 kms. I would like that you read little be more about Dunlop D212, because they made for the RACE and for the street like Isla de Man TT RACE. www.motorpasion.com, I read in spanish but you can do in english too. Hopefully you find a good tires with this information. Talk about watches and bikes, always It is a pleaser. Thank's for your questions, your time and for write me. Have a good day Mr. Rangeman. Hopefully we can talk again. Retarda Paco Guallar
I have an older Casio G-Shock GW-A1000 bought in 2013 and while the newer Gravity Master 2000 is an improvement with the app and multiple higher speed motors my older version which uses the main dial for stop watch and timer is easier for my use. My appetite for a new G-shock remains GPR-B1000 Rangeman; I find a digital readout and especially with newer screen technology more to my personal liking. :)
The GW-A1000 is the little buddy to the GPW-2000, but think that yours has a sensor?? Tough movement and a ticking second hand... that would be a nice one to show a side by side with :) The MIP display is really good, not been around that long, but on the GPR-B1000 it's just brilliant... low lighting visibility is really good, the only other low lighting G-Shock I have is the GD-350 would you believe, am talking about negative displays over positive. The GPR-B1000 is a big watch just to add, but my favourite, and I mean my favourite watch in my collection :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman The GW-A1000 does have a second hand, solar powered, temperature readout, and multi-band 6. It has only two sub-dials, a 24 hour dial at its top and a bottom dial for day of week and indicators for world time, stop watch, countdown timer, and alarm. Its best feature and no longer available is its stop watch and timer that uses the main dial for these functions; time function can always be seen by using its function button while these other functions can still operate. I find the small sub-dials on the newer models difficult to use. Most g-shocks are large so the added size of GPR-B1000 for me is of little consequence. :) www.watchuseek.com/threads/gw-a1000-officially-announced-raf-watch.659103/
@@artemisXsidecross Interesting to know it has just the temp sensor, but still a more accurate sensor than the altimeter.... the larger sub-dials are really important upon a glance, when I had the GST-W100 G-Steel I found the tiny LCD sub-dials not very practical at night, during the day no problem, but they are just too small for all that information... needs to be at a glance, and with the GPW-2000, that PM/AM sub-dial is tiny, I would've used a red disc overlapping on a black disc so you have a clear idea to which half it's on, but hey, you sometimes have to work with it and not make it bigger than it isn't, in this case LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman '... but hey, you sometimes have to work with it and not make it bigger than it isn't...' Yes indeed! :) But as age creeps up on one's vision smaller things are even smaller. :)
Mr Mark :-P you haven't seen my post on the community page have you... think it's about the 3rd or 4th down, very worth finding it... and yes, I did feature this GPW-2000 in that video, link is in the description :)))
That is wise, otherwise you'll be less wise and asleep LML :-P The instructions help, but a video always compliments it further... it takes time to learn this watch, but really it's simple, just remember first pull on the crown is Worldtime, the second pull is home time with regards to manual setting... otherwise Bluetooth it all LML :-P Cheers!
*I love these Gravity Master Tough Solar & Multi Band 6/GPS timepieces. The GPW2000 is the best Gravity Master that I have. One thing it lacks is a bonafide hands shift feature. If it had that it would be perfect.* *One feature I wish it had is the sweeping seconds movement in Stop Watch Mode. I love that in the GWA-1000/2000. I think I have on a mechanical timepiece at times when I see it sweeping. I say that as a Casio watch lover without any mechanical timepieces.*
*I just figured out a solution/hack to the lack of the hands movement feature, so that the Home Time Mode minute or hour hand won’t block the Stop Watch Mode subdial. In World Time Mode, find a time zone where the MINUTES differ from the UTC time (I’m in an EST/EDT time zone. Hence only my hour time differs from UTC time. But my World Time Mode **_location_** is always in UTC in my Casios). Find a city location where the minutes differ from the UTC/GMT minutes. The three locations that I’ve found apace (there may be more) is Tehran, Kabul, & Delhi.* *(It’s best to do this when your Home Time Mode minute hand is anywhere from the 20 to 40 minute mark.) Activate the Stop Watch Mode timer. Then long press Mode to revert back to Home Time Mode. Perform the Time Swap function. Go back to Stop Watch Mode and voila! The minute hand isn’t obstructing the Stop Watch Mode subdial. YEAH BUDDDYYY!!!* *In Home Time Mode, don’t forget to do the Time Swap function again to set your time aright while it’s in Home Time Mode.*
Thank you for this super detailed video! Is there no real handshift? Because most of the time when I want to get the hands out of the subdials, it's for see the world time subdial.
You're so welcome my friend :) There isn't a handshift, and to be honest, it doesn't need it as it can all be set on the connected device, but for viewing, this I know can be an issue, so did include my own way to handshift... time stamps are found in the description... cheers :))
Hello and congratulations on your video and manual! I have a question: With the smartphone completely switched off (or absent), how many positions can we save in the watch before transferring them later to the smartphone? Thank you in advance for your response and kindly.
Cheers for the feedback my friend :)) You have to think of the watch like a trigger to the phone, to tell it to make a location stamp, as the Gravitymaster does not hold any memory to save location stamps. If you want this, then the GPR-B1000 Rangeman has this built into the watch. The Gravitymaster can update the time/date/coordinate using the GPS, but you're only able to get a rough idea of location, it can't be used to pin point your location using the watches information. It would've been great to have some memory built in like the GPR-B1000. Hope that helps you my friend :)
Cheers buddy.... feel that 66SR is something more for DCrainmaker or Chase the Summit, as I'm more into carrying the littlest and thus why a watch suits me the best... but I appreciate that you think I would be good at that side too.... I probably would, but it's a device I don't need at this moment
Truly fabulous tutorial. A lot of hard work went into that. Thank you. However, I am unable to print it. I can download the PDF but when I try to print it, nothing happens. Am I missing a step? Any help would be appreciated. I need this excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback my friend :) So downloading isn't a problem for you, so are you printing directly from your PDF viewer? Maybe save it in another format like Pages or Word and see how that goes? So it doesn't even print it, or it's printing but on blank pages? I edited the instructions on my MacBook Pro using 'Pages' then exported it into PDF, then filed transferred it to my Google Drive account just to add. If you can view it on your PC you must be able to print what is shown... maybe you need to instruct the printer to print all of the pages in fine print. Or maybe just use it on a tablet instead like I do??? Have a search how to print a PDF file, am thinking you're using Window's? Cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I tried clicking on Print and absolutely nothing... my friend tried on his home computer, it printed but with odd empty squares with question marks inside them. At a loss.
It was on 2hrs then took a few parts out, as I was just waffling on and thought it wasn't needed for such a long video... but I really wanted to cover it all, and those who visit on time stamps, they would find it easier, so had to include some repeats in some places... anyway, I've now printed the T-Shirt and that's one big G-Shock tutorial added to my inventory :)) Cheers for your support, hope you're well my friend??? :))
my watch band is broken and do anyone know where I could get another band for the watch? I m in the AU now and I could not find any on there website. many thanks for the help
Good work, better than Casio instruction. One topic or question. Is possible to set up signal of each hour? SIG. maybe is some tip and trick to do it. If not really regret..regards
Cheers for your support my friend :) The GPW-2000 has no hourly SIG... I've tried everything possible and there isn't one... only thing is to set the timer for one hour??? Sorry it doesn't have this side... it's much like the GPR-B1000 Rangeman, this also has no hourly SIG???
While I think it is THE MOST AMAZING (detailed) tutorial, you'd lost my attention @ 6:00 due to the amount of info it requires you to absorb and pay attention to.
Hey buddy... yeah, lots and lots to absorb and if you don't own or plan to get this G-Shock, then it's not going to sit on the attention side... but tomorrow I have a video that's just over 3mins long, and so look forward to your thoughts on that... cheers :))
Hello, It is a pity that when recording positions the altitude of this point is not displayed on the map. While this is quite possible with DEM cards. This function would have been very interesting. Yours sincerely.
An update to the App would be all that was needed to have this, as the GPW-2000 is just a trigger to tell the App to make a time/position stamp... could use the GEO side of the phone to note the altitude... CASIO, are you listening???!! Cheers :))
Hey buddy... how different is the GW-5000 to the 5610? I've not any plans to review such a G-Shock, but if it's offering something really different, then maybe? But I am very spontaneous with ideas, and like to make videos that are more about watches that I would buy or own. I've not so long ago got the GLX-5600 and absolutely love it, as it has such a great module, really can't understand why CASIO don't use some of the features in more modern releases. Let me know what the GW-5000 offers, or if you own one?? Cheers :))
Hey buddy, how are you these days??? The watch is impressive indeed, and I know you like things that seem simple, but has that twist of involvement, and this is one of those watches... you can be lazy and let run via the app, or get that crown beeping and really get tangled.... I've learnt everything it can do of my little mind, but making it into a tutorial really needed those instructions, but worth it... thanks again :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I been great, I hope you are well. This Gravity master is one of those impressive G-Shocks. I'm impressed by how complex it is and I like it but I'm more impressed by how you made this instructions in this video. That's a lot of work and very well done.
@@watchroll3310 Pleased to hear you're good my friend :)) I'm good too, cheers! It is a complex watch, and now it has been discontinued so am wondering will CASIO make another?? I feel, was it exercising their abilities to show off, but realising it's too complex to produce, thus why the new Gravitymaster is more Bluetooth with the data shown on the app, while the GPW-2000 shows it all on the analog dial... it's a fantastic watch, and I'm pleased I have one in my collection :) Cheers for the feedback on my instructions, and it was really the only way I could tutorial without viewers getting overwhelmed with how to operate it... a lot of work that I enjoyed making, and if it helps then my work is done :) Now I get asked to make more instructions for other G-Shocks :-P Maybe I will :)) Thanks again my friend :))
I had to wait until 2021 to get one CASIO G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER GPW-2000- 1A2JF ....Blue faced model brand new from Japan and shipped to the United States for $440.00 bucks.......
Brand new from Japan at $440, now that's a very good deal indeed, just need a good tutorial with downloadable instructions hey LML :-P You are going to love it, and it's not that hard to master, unless you go fully manual :-P Cheers and look forward to your feedback when it lands :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Yeah the lady saw me looking for a good quality Casio and sent me a link to the mod on ebay and it was priced at $550.00 .....I offered her $400.00 free shipping and she sent me a $440.00 counter offer......I will let you know when received......Thanks,,,,
@@MannyScoot You played good my friend, and posting is often quicker than stated, so should be a week and half, and hope she put watch parts on the customs label LML :-P Cheers!
Has anyone found an aftermarket strap or bracelet for this watch ? maybe adapters ? I rarely wear it because i have big wrists and the factory strap has to be either too tight , or too loose , then being so close to the end , the keeper doesn't keep the band tucked in . I need an alternative to the factory band so i can enjoy wearing it more :)
This is a later video, but my earlier ones are more unedited, but now tighten the gaps so I sound more pleasing on the ear... I'm really bad, some days I really have a blockage on even the basic words... am pleased modern tech helps, my Blackberry phone gives me the better aid, as it really learns my type of speaking, Siri is utter nonsense and Google has some good and off days... cheers :))
I really wasn't going to make this video, but chatting to my buddy at StormRider made me think differently, and I'm so pleased I made it now :)) Cheers for the support :))
Cracking shot hey... he was there for at least 5 mins taking the sunshine from my solar... I guess the watch was lovely a warm :)) Taken in southern Italy btw :))
With this one being fully analogue, it does require the use of the instructions from time to time, but you can be lazy and just use the Bluetooth... To me, this was one of the most advanced movements from CASIO, mainly down to how all the motors intertwine together, and then tops it with GPS, MB6 and Bluetooth all from a non smart watch. You think the newer ones are learning involved, the older ones can conceal some hidden quirks that you can easily forgot after a few weeks... at least it keeps them interesting... but Citizen digitals can be even harder ;-P
The earth is flat, you know. The Lat(itude) icon rubs me the wrong way. I just got the g-shock 2100 in full dark. Having said that I would not buy any watch showing how their watch was "in space."
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman the g-shock I always choose for trips is the ....the... the... Rangeman GPR-B1000. :-) i know u are a fan of this model too lol cheers
@@tiagobandeira9962 Not just a fan, but it's my favourite watch too! There's something very solid about the GPR-B1000 compared to other watches, and that MIP display is just amazing... simple but always reliable and will last for a very very long time and some more on top :)) Cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman agree.. just GPS connection delay a bit comparing with my garmin instinct solar... sometimes I wonder if I had to go in a special mission which watch I would take 😄...
@@tiagobandeira9962 Saying that... the other week my Fenix 6Pro failed to get a GPS... I was well into my hike, and decided to make a time sync, then tried the GPS track me, and would you believe it, it worked, while the GPR-B1000 had started from go. It could be that I had the Fenix 6Pro off, so maybe it needs to be on a network first, and thus why taking a time sync got that connection??? Yeah, maybe slow, but once fired up it's with you :) The Instinct is pretty fast hey, impressive being so light too... makes my very old TomTom Sat-Nav look like a house of bricks LML :-P
Man this is amazing. The colour coding of the face and hands is genius. I'm sure there is no better guide for the GPW anywhere on the internet. I'm definitely giving this endevour a shout out on my next video plus a link to the video in the comments. I imagine you needed a lie down in a darkened room after all that, some of it genuinely made my mind spin like the 3/6 year settings and manual year setting. Wow.
Some other observations:
1. I had no idea about the flight log groups
2. The top tip was new to me also, I'd actually come across that issue in the past when a key dial was obscured by the minute hand
3. The complexity of this watch makes me marvel at it, it's like a work of art, the hours of investment, R&D and manufacturing are mind blowing and I can't imagine there are many more comparable watches that are so durable and solar in the world and I think they are a dying breed
4. For purely practical reasons I do think a digital screen helps for a watch of this complexity but the classic nature of it means it actually suits to be fully analogue
5. Linked to point 4, thank heavens for G-Shock Connect App on this watch as it makes it immeasurably more accessible
6. Your patience is God-like lol
I'm so pleased you found some new informations on your GPW-2000, and the flight log is really good for general time stamps too, not just for tracking your points.... very complex, but nice it has two sides with regards to all out Bluetooth or full on manually setting it up :))
The hand shift top tip is used often as that can be near impossible to see the world time sub-dial... I'm guessing you're wearing more after watching it LML :-P
Cheers for the shout-out in the next video for your GPW-2000, it's nice to have a good varied amount of help from us hey, and you certainly cover the finer points really well... love your shirt sleeve video, was again really well done, didn't comment, but did like and watch it all :))

Mr Rangeman is the mad scientist of G-Shock instruction videos. Awesome job and a service to the community!
For some reason the wheel on my watch had been unwinded and it had screwed up all the settings. I thought I had to take it to the dealership to reset it but I watched your guide and after calibrating everything and resetting bluetooth, I managed to get it running properly. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing work you have done on this guide. You are a lif saver sir.
thanks to your hard work making this manual easy and fun to learn.. 👍👍👍
For some reason I only just saw this video has been posted. Weird, it didn't come up on my notifications. I need to carve out a good window of time and fresh pot of tea to commence this properly but I can already see it's a superb effort, a labour of love. Bring it on!
Oh and thanks so much for the shout out! I just came to that part! Awesome man. Really appreciate the community support here...

Dear Mr. Rangeman - your manual looks more intuitive and comprehensive than CASIOs - good job man! And greetings from Germany! (Yes, indeed, your fanbase is located even in Europe! :D
Hey buddy, or should I be really old school and say Grüß :)) This was big project, and I can understand why it hasn't be braved to tutorial, well there is a Russian guy who takes these on, but for those wanting the English then there wasn't any video really... I chatted to StormRide thinking maybe I need to make a tutorial, and wasn't really going to effort, but he said it really needed my style on this watch, as it's such an incredible piece of tech, think about if it was on a larger scale with all those motors spinning around upon button and crown actions, would be very complex, so when it's in a watch, then mind boggles LML :-P
I've done a similar manual for my Garmin tutorials, and also I made a new G-Shock tutorial called the DWS-6900TM, now that's a G-Shock dedicated fan made video :-P
Cheers for the support and feedback my friend... have some wonderful German friends, and they laugh at my Swiss German LML :-P
I would like to thank you for such a detailed tutorial for a complicated module. I wasn’t understanding anything on its original manual 😂 till i came across ur tutorial.

Your tutorials are good reason to consider G-shock watches for the watch appreciation community. Sadly the CASIO G-Shock Gravitymaster GPW-2000 is no longer available in the USA market; it is a watch I wanted to purchase.(It has been replaced by Gravitymaster GWR-B1000X Carbon Monocoque G-Shock pilot watch). Again my appreciation for the excellent work you provide, and it should be noted by Casio-G-shock home office and marketing for their appreciation as well. :)
Yes, the GPW-2000 has been off line for a little while, guess it was too much to make... for me it's like a MR-G in resin :))
There's a few deals floating on the secondary market, so maybe you'll get lucky :)
I absolutely love it, and it is my travelling watch :))
Cheers for you massive amount of feedback, really does make me feel I've done good for the G-Shock community :))
I just got the Gravitymaster GPW 2000 3AJF after waiting for 3 years. I finally have this beauty. Love the tiny details that make this watch a true Masterpiece and since most of the New Stock is Dwindling I was glad to be able to get one before it went dry. I got a Brand New un-used watch. Perfect timing as well as I have the day off and I can thoroughly watch your Tutorial as this is such a complex watch. The Smartphone makes it easy but I still would like to know how to manually setup the watch.
Thanks! Appreciate the detailed tutorial and a downloadable PDF for reference. Looking forward to more of your reviews and tutorials.
Recently got me a GPW-2000 in Olive Drab. Thank you so much for making this video (and a downloadable guide).
The amount of care, love and thought that has gone into producing this work is astounding. I wanted to get a Gravitymaster and was on the fence between GPW-2000 and GWR B-1000. Went with the latter.. However, this one is unique and amazing too.
I can't wait until you get your hands on the GWG-1000 ^^
Hey buddy, and cheers for your support... yes, was a two week in the making for this, as making the instructions was the only way to really make anyone understand it, hopefully the instructions would work without the video, but always nice to have some company while learning :)
I'm looking forward to that day too... just have some projects I need to order first, then I will see who will loan me one :)
Just to add, a video will be live tomorrow, even though it's a small video, it still took a while to create, but very original and exclusive to WatchUP69 :))
Lol i was just thinking how casio need a better manual for this watch, thanks for your work mate, I appreciate it
I did make this video before, but now with my own instructions, it's really the ultimate tutorial for this watch... there's a really cool channel that review his GPW-2000, but it's in Russian, so now that gap has been crossed... cheers for the support my friend :))
Good to notice, that your great GPW-2000 tutorial got online now.
Cheers buddy... I had it almost wrapped up, then left out a chunk of film, so I've probably watched it over 10 times at least, thus why I didn't kill myself to post every week, rather make quality over chitchat on a brand that will dissolve in that week LML :-P
Great explanation for some one who is Dyslexic like me over the years I have found to help me use my talents for Mechanical and gadgets to be no much off a problem to me the was one construction company that would only employ dyslexic architects and quantity surveyors because they found them to be the best at the jobs because they have to remember everything I would be asking it worker how did you remember to do that we Forgot about that
What a great and thorough job showing and explaining the many functions of the GPW-2000. Thank you very much.
So welcome my friend and thank you for the feedback too, really helps me knowing it's good :)
I finally managed to watch the video undisturbed and in full length. One of the coolest G-Shocks. I also saw your PDF and your newest videos. I don't know if you're doing all this work by yourself. It's absolutely impressive.
Hey buddy... it's a brilliant G-Shock, and very much packed with tech backed up with all those motors :)
I made everything myself with the instruction layout, but did take the pictures from the original manual and tweaked them to complement the learning experience. There is a few parts repeated in the video, but anyone hitting time stamps needs to have everything in detail. I've learnt the watch, so don't need the instructions, but was good to have the instructions so anyone watching won't get lost :-P
Thanks for the feedback and support as always :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I meant that it is a lot of work for one person. I can't imagine how much time it all takes. Sometimes I feel a bit stupid because I don't upload my own content. You are absolutely right that you should create something yourself than just copy it. I want to change that and maybe make my own music remixes when I find the time. But that doesn't belong here. I have another question. I usually don't buy watches from Amazon, I use other watch shops. But if I would buy from Amazon, I would use this Amazon link from you. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Is this link only possible for the UK? Seems to be so. I can't find this on my Amazon site.
@@MartinLuetzelberger Cheers buddy :)
When I get into an idea then time isn't an issue, as I really enjoy the making part, and am wanting it to useful, the instructions really help with this watch, and I feel more instructions will follow :)

This is excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do this! I also loved the GPS Rangeman tutorial and the tests you performed on it - Switzerland and back and the altitude test. Thanks again.
Thank you my friend, so pleased you enjoyed :)
I did a few Switzerland GPS videos, and was gunning to make the solar Instinct, but hey, maybe this year???
Thanks again and for the support :)
Tip for those with more than one GPW-2000: You can register more than one Gravitymaster in the Casio app. The app will simply name the 2nd one to GPW-2000_2. Both will successfully connect/sync. Also the flight log points are stored separately per watch. No mixing of the points between the two.
You've done it again. Excellent content as always. Indeed this watch was missing a good tutorial with the ones available doing little to explain what it could do. Now all that remains is for you to write a book on these G-Shocks lol.
Now that's the side I was worried about.... making an instructional manual for all my G-Shock tutorials LML :-P
But for this GPW-2000, it really needed a full on tutorial, and my first attempt was just going through it in my light box, but felt like it would be confusing, so then wrote an instruction on a one sheet, then the 17 pages flowed from there, it also made it easier to navigate through the tutorial... I know it has a few repeats, but for anyone who's just hitting the time stamps, then they would miss parts out... so wasn't easy to get this right, but recently I've spent a lot of time on the last few videos, and feel I need to just have a breather before showing some easier reviews.
Thanks for your support as always my friend, means a lot from you :)))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman production quality is getting better. I like the out of the box style to explain what the watch can do and the previous one like that was definitely unique and intuitive. Keep up the good work :)

Thank you my good friend, really glad you enjoy this level of detail... The instructions really helped me too, even though I know the watch with all it can do, but making a tutorial with the GPW-2000 has many repeats to functions, so the reason why the video went for so long, but with time stamps you can navigate to the point you need the most.

Just bought a new battery for ZX12R... now looking for tyres, have you had experience with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corse 3's???
@@WatchUP69MrRangemanExcuse me Mr Rangeman to write you back to late. When I bought my CBR 1000 RR had on the Pirelli Corsa Rosso. In my opinion, all Pirellis tyres are amazing. Depend what do want and how many kms or milles you Drive per year. Because some of them are really soft with a high greap, but when you Drive hard in 3000 milles ir 5000, you need to change. From more than 6 years I use Brigestone Bt016. When is cold and wet work really good and for summer is a perfect compromise. I made around 20.000kms . I living on Tenerife, Canary Island, we have a good weather all the year and I use everyday that I need, so this is my experiencia. Pd: I love your bike ZX12R, Kawasaki never sold this model in Spain.
@@pacoguallar992 Hey buddy, no worries for time to reply :))
Thank you for your amazing reply, and you covered all there is to know :))
My ZX12R is a toy, so only use it for nice days... I've currently got BT16's on at the moment, but the front tyre isn't as good as the Pilot Powers I had before, but the rear is better, but don't like to mix match brands. The tyres on the ZX12R need to have a high speed rating, also the tyre walls need to be solid... I'd rather have grip than long term, so am looking about 5000km's on the rear, as I do like to gun the throttle on a sensible level, and the ZX12R is pushing 198bhp with Ram-Air and she's very torque happy :-P
I've just taken her for a spin this morning and great to ride her again, but she needs new treads!
I also have a vintage Honda RD03 HRC which has been with me for over 18yrs now, and together we've seen most of Europe... this has been my favourite bike I've owned, it's not about the power as she only has 56bhp, it's more about the connection we have... I've been looking at other bikes, but feel having big horse power from the Ninja and the endurance from the Honda, I don't see anything I would want... I do like the Honda's, and almost bought an RC30 for CHF6500 when I lived in Switzerland. I liked the original CBR900R's when they came out, something about it that I still like even today... I prefer the CBR's over the R1's and Gixer's if you're curious, and I don't really have a grail bike... but certainly not a Harley, ridden a few and just don't like how much is involved to make them do anything, so to those ride them, are more passionate than me, as I prefer a bike that needs work, but also works well :-P

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hello again, thank's to you for write me back. The last years are coming a new tires from Pirelli, Michelin, Brigestone and Dunlop.

I have an older Casio G-Shock GW-A1000 bought in 2013 and while the newer Gravity Master 2000 is an improvement with the app and multiple higher speed motors my older version which uses the main dial for stop watch and timer is easier for my use. My appetite for a new G-shock remains GPR-B1000 Rangeman; I find a digital readout and especially with newer screen technology more to my personal liking. :)
The GW-A1000 is the little buddy to the GPW-2000, but think that yours has a sensor?? Tough movement and a ticking second hand... that would be a nice one to show a side by side with :)
The MIP display is really good, not been around that long, but on the GPR-B1000 it's just brilliant... low lighting visibility is really good, the only other low lighting G-Shock I have is the GD-350 would you believe, am talking about negative displays over positive. The GPR-B1000 is a big watch just to add, but my favourite, and I mean my favourite watch in my collection :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman The GW-A1000 does have a second hand, solar powered, temperature readout, and multi-band 6. It has only two sub-dials, a 24 hour dial at its top and a bottom dial for day of week and indicators for world time, stop watch, countdown timer, and alarm.
Its best feature and no longer available is its stop watch and timer that uses the main dial for these functions; time function can always be seen by using its function button while these other functions can still operate. I find the small sub-dials on the newer models difficult to use.
Most g-shocks are large so the added size of GPR-B1000 for me is of little consequence. :)

@@artemisXsidecross Interesting to know it has just the temp sensor, but still a more accurate sensor than the altimeter.... the larger sub-dials are really important upon a glance, when I had the GST-W100 G-Steel I found the tiny LCD sub-dials not very practical at night, during the day no problem, but they are just too small for all that information... needs to be at a glance, and with the GPW-2000, that PM/AM sub-dial is tiny, I would've used a red disc overlapping on a black disc so you have a clear idea to which half it's on, but hey, you sometimes have to work with it and not make it bigger than it isn't, in this case LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman '... but hey, you sometimes have to work with it and not make it bigger than it isn't...' Yes indeed! :) But as age creeps up on one's vision smaller things are even smaller. :)
I can remember when you did your review of the old Gravitymaster Mr Rangeman. All those years ago, on your way to Switzerland!
Mr Mark :-P you haven't seen my post on the community page have you... think it's about the 3rd or 4th down, very worth finding it... and yes, I did feature this GPW-2000 in that video, link is in the description :)))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thanks Mr Rangeman 😂😂😂
Watching this in sections!
That is wise, otherwise you'll be less wise and asleep LML :-P
The instructions help, but a video always compliments it further... it takes time to learn this watch, but really it's simple, just remember first pull on the crown is Worldtime, the second pull is home time with regards to manual setting... otherwise Bluetooth it all LML :-P
Cheers!
*I love these Gravity Master Tough Solar & Multi Band 6/GPS timepieces. The GPW2000 is the best Gravity Master that I have. One thing it lacks is a bonafide hands shift feature. If it had that it would be perfect.*
*One feature I wish it had is the sweeping seconds movement in Stop Watch Mode. I love that in the GWA-1000/2000. I think I have on a mechanical timepiece at times when I see it sweeping. I say that as a Casio watch lover without any mechanical timepieces.*
*I just figured out a solution/hack to the lack of the hands movement feature, so that the Home Time Mode minute or hour hand won’t block the Stop Watch Mode subdial. In World Time Mode, find a time zone where the MINUTES differ from the UTC time (I’m in an EST/EDT time zone. Hence only my hour time differs from UTC time. But my World Time Mode **_location_** is always in UTC in my Casios). Find a city location where the minutes differ from the UTC/GMT minutes. The three locations that I’ve found apace (there may be more) is Tehran, Kabul, & Delhi.*
*(It’s best to do this when your Home Time Mode minute hand is anywhere from the 20 to 40 minute mark.) Activate the Stop Watch Mode timer. Then long press Mode to revert back to Home Time Mode. Perform the Time Swap function. Go back to Stop Watch Mode and voila! The minute hand isn’t obstructing the Stop Watch Mode subdial. YEAH BUDDDYYY!!!*
*In Home Time Mode, don’t forget to do the Time Swap function again to set your time aright while it’s in Home Time Mode.*
Awesome instructional video of a great watch 🤙🏻
Cheers buddy... a great watch indeed, and funnily has been on my wrist pretty much after the video :))
Thank you for this super detailed video! Is there no real handshift? Because most of the time when I want to get the hands out of the subdials, it's for see the world time subdial.
You're so welcome my friend :)
There isn't a handshift, and to be honest, it doesn't need it as it can all be set on the connected device, but for viewing, this I know can be an issue, so did include my own way to handshift... time stamps are found in the description... cheers :))
Hello and congratulations on your video and manual!
I have a question: With the smartphone completely switched off (or absent), how many positions can we save in the watch before transferring them later to the smartphone?
Thank you in advance for your response and kindly.
Cheers for the feedback my friend :))
You have to think of the watch like a trigger to the phone, to tell it to make a location stamp, as the Gravitymaster does not hold any memory to save location stamps. If you want this, then the GPR-B1000 Rangeman has this built into the watch. The Gravitymaster can update the time/date/coordinate using the GPS, but you're only able to get a rough idea of location, it can't be used to pin point your location using the watches information.
It would've been great to have some memory built in like the GPR-B1000.
Hope that helps you my friend :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Your answer helps me a lot. Really very good.
Thank you to you and again congratulations on your videos.
Yours sincerely.
@@sergejalet9679 Cheers buddy :))
Great job! Amazing paying attention to details!
Mr. Rangeman for president!
Great job Mr.Rangeman! When can we expect your tutorial for the Garmin GPSmap 66SR?
Cheers buddy.... feel that 66SR is something more for DCrainmaker or Chase the Summit, as I'm more into carrying the littlest and thus why a watch suits me the best... but I appreciate that you think I would be good at that side too.... I probably would, but it's a device I don't need at this moment
Truly fabulous tutorial. A lot of hard work went into that. Thank you.
However, I am unable to print it. I can download the PDF but when I try to print it, nothing happens. Am I missing a step?
Any help would be appreciated. I need this excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback my friend :)
So downloading isn't a problem for you, so are you printing directly from your PDF viewer? Maybe save it in another format like Pages or Word and see how that goes?
So it doesn't even print it, or it's printing but on blank pages?
I edited the instructions on my MacBook Pro using 'Pages' then exported it into PDF, then filed transferred it to my Google Drive account just to add.
If you can view it on your PC you must be able to print what is shown... maybe you need to instruct the printer to print all of the pages in fine print.
Or maybe just use it on a tablet instead like I do???
Have a search how to print a PDF file, am thinking you're using Window's?
Cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman
I tried clicking on Print and absolutely nothing... my friend tried on his home computer, it printed but with odd empty squares with question marks inside them. At a loss.
@@robhilton5566 Send me an email at watchup69@gmail.com and I'll send you the raw file when am at my PC ;)
Cheers!
is there a way to manually push the watch to receive MB6. Making the hand point to RC?
Only 1 hour 47 minutes long ? I hope to see the 3 hour directors cut of this at at some point
It was on 2hrs then took a few parts out, as I was just waffling on and thought it wasn't needed for such a long video... but I really wanted to cover it all, and those who visit on time stamps, they would find it easier, so had to include some repeats in some places... anyway, I've now printed the T-Shirt and that's one big G-Shock tutorial added to my inventory :))
Cheers for your support, hope you're well my friend??? :))
Haha, absolutely agree
I'm in the UK and they don't seem to be available. Where is the best place to get one from please?
my watch band is broken and do anyone know where I could get another band for the watch? I m in the AU now and I could not find any on there website. many thanks for the help
Try this website...
www.tiktox.com/gpw-2000-3a-band.html
Is there no auto led light feature with a wrist tilt on these?
Good work, better than Casio instruction. One topic or question. Is possible to set up signal of each hour? SIG. maybe is some tip and trick to do it. If not really regret..regards
Cheers for your support my friend :)
The GPW-2000 has no hourly SIG... I've tried everything possible and there isn't one... only thing is to set the timer for one hour???
Sorry it doesn't have this side... it's much like the GPR-B1000 Rangeman, this also has no hourly SIG???
Does it have an auto LED with wrist tilt?
While I think it is THE MOST AMAZING (detailed) tutorial, you'd lost my attention @ 6:00 due to the amount of info it requires you to absorb and pay attention to.
Hey buddy... yeah, lots and lots to absorb and if you don't own or plan to get this G-Shock, then it's not going to sit on the attention side... but tomorrow I have a video that's just over 3mins long, and so look forward to your thoughts on that... cheers :))
Hello,
It is a pity that when recording positions the altitude of this point is not displayed on the map. While this is quite possible with DEM cards. This function would have been very interesting.
Yours sincerely.
An update to the App would be all that was needed to have this, as the GPW-2000 is just a trigger to tell the App to make a time/position stamp... could use the GEO side of the phone to note the altitude... CASIO, are you listening???!!
Cheers :))
Is there any chance of you doing a segment on the GW5000?
Hey buddy... how different is the GW-5000 to the 5610? I've not any plans to review such a G-Shock, but if it's offering something really different, then maybe? But I am very spontaneous with ideas, and like to make videos that are more about watches that I would buy or own. I've not so long ago got the GLX-5600 and absolutely love it, as it has such a great module, really can't understand why CASIO don't use some of the features in more modern releases.
Let me know what the GW-5000 offers, or if you own one?? Cheers :))
Amazing video. Thank you
This is very impressive!
Hey buddy, how are you these days??? The watch is impressive indeed, and I know you like things that seem simple, but has that twist of involvement, and this is one of those watches... you can be lazy and let run via the app, or get that crown beeping and really get tangled.... I've learnt everything it can do of my little mind, but making it into a tutorial really needed those instructions, but worth it... thanks again :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I been great, I hope you are well. This Gravity master is one of those impressive G-Shocks. I'm impressed by how complex it is and I like it but I'm more impressed by how you made this instructions in this video. That's a lot of work and very well done.
@@watchroll3310 Pleased to hear you're good my friend :)) I'm good too, cheers!
It is a complex watch, and now it has been discontinued so am wondering will CASIO make another?? I feel, was it exercising their abilities to show off, but realising it's too complex to produce, thus why the new Gravitymaster is more Bluetooth with the data shown on the app, while the GPW-2000 shows it all on the analog dial... it's a fantastic watch, and I'm pleased I have one in my collection :)
Cheers for the feedback on my instructions, and it was really the only way I could tutorial without viewers getting overwhelmed with how to operate it... a lot of work that I enjoyed making, and if it helps then my work is done :)
Now I get asked to make more instructions for other G-Shocks :-P Maybe I will :))
Thanks again my friend :))
Really want one but I don’t know if I’ll wear it over my Mudmaster
Great review
I had to wait until 2021 to get one CASIO G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER GPW-2000- 1A2JF ....Blue faced model brand new from Japan and shipped to the United States for $440.00 bucks.......
Brand new from Japan at $440, now that's a very good deal indeed, just need a good tutorial with downloadable instructions hey LML :-P
You are going to love it, and it's not that hard to master, unless you go fully manual :-P
Cheers and look forward to your feedback when it lands :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Yeah the lady saw me looking for a good quality Casio and sent me a link to the mod on ebay and it was priced at $550.00 .....I offered her $400.00 free shipping and she sent me a $440.00 counter offer......I will let you know when received......Thanks,,,,
@@MannyScoot You played good my friend, and posting is often quicker than stated, so should be a week and half, and hope she put watch parts on the customs label LML :-P
Cheers!
I just picked up another one used from Texas (on Ebay)....In excellent shape and free shipping for $300.00
@@MannyScoot Damn, that's cheap... which colour version did you get this time? To me it's like the resin version of a MR-G :))
Did it have hand shift,?
No, and it's a shame it doesn't, but in the video I do show a hack how I get the hands to shift :))
Thanks for videos man
Has anyone found an aftermarket strap or bracelet for this watch ? maybe adapters ? I rarely wear it because i have big wrists and the factory strap has to be either too tight , or too loose , then being so close to the end , the keeper doesn't keep the band tucked in . I need an alternative to the factory band so i can enjoy wearing it more :)

I'm guessing it came at the right time??? Cheers for your support and massive feedback :))
Fantastic !
Dyslexic?Oh my stars,I never would have thought so!
This is a later video, but my earlier ones are more unedited, but now tighten the gaps so I sound more pleasing on the ear... I'm really bad, some days I really have a blockage on even the basic words... am pleased modern tech helps, my Blackberry phone gives me the better aid, as it really learns my type of speaking, Siri is utter nonsense and Google has some good and off days... cheers :))
very helpful

I really wasn't going to make this video, but chatting to my buddy at StormRider made me think differently, and I'm so pleased I made it now :)) Cheers for the support :))
Sir make video for gpw 1000

Tough lizard solar
Cracking shot hey... he was there for at least 5 mins taking the sunshine from my solar... I guess the watch was lovely a warm :))
Taken in southern Italy btw :))
Forget about it. Rather than have all this complication, I'll settle for just a sundial.

The problem with casio is that you need a Ph.D to operate their watches.
With this one being fully analogue, it does require the use of the instructions from time to time, but you can be lazy and just use the Bluetooth... To me, this was one of the most advanced movements from CASIO, mainly down to how all the motors intertwine together, and then tops it with GPS, MB6 and Bluetooth all from a non smart watch.
You think the newer ones are learning involved, the older ones can conceal some hidden quirks that you can easily forgot after a few weeks... at least it keeps them interesting... but Citizen digitals can be even harder ;-P
The earth is flat, you know. The Lat(itude) icon rubs me the wrong way. I just got the g-shock 2100 in full dark. Having said that I would not buy any watch showing how their watch was "in space."
does it have hourly signal?
i couldn't find it anywhere

Amazing... congrats for the watch and very clear explanations... cheers
Cheers dude, have owned the watch for a few years now, and it really is my traveller I choose.... cheers for the feedback once again :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman the g-shock I always choose for trips is the ....the... the... Rangeman GPR-B1000. :-) i know u are a fan of this model too lol cheers
@@tiagobandeira9962 Not just a fan, but it's my favourite watch too! There's something very solid about the GPR-B1000 compared to other watches, and that MIP display is just amazing... simple but always reliable and will last for a very very long time and some more on top :))
Cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman agree.. just GPS connection delay a bit comparing with my garmin instinct solar... sometimes I wonder if I had to go in a special mission which watch I would take 😄...
@@tiagobandeira9962 Saying that... the other week my Fenix 6Pro failed to get a GPS... I was well into my hike, and decided to make a time sync, then tried the GPS track me, and would you believe it, it worked, while the GPR-B1000 had started from go. It could be that I had the Fenix 6Pro off, so maybe it needs to be on a network first, and thus why taking a time sync got that connection??? Yeah, maybe slow, but once fired up it's with you :)
The Instinct is pretty fast hey, impressive being so light too... makes my very old TomTom Sat-Nav look like a house of bricks LML :-P
