G-Shock Master of G Rangeman Men's Watch GW9400-1B

I got this for my husband, who has a different G shock and loves it. He thought it died after 15 plus years. So I started looking at G shocks that would hold up to his job (mixer driver) and be heavy duty. This one kept catching my eye, I personally liked the red on the watch. Husbands other G shock is all black. I liked all this watch was able to do and knew husband would sit and get it up and running.. I cheated and gave early for Christmas. And yep! He was surprised and sat over there in his chair and got that sucker programmed. Retired his other G shock and wore next day to work. Guys at work noticed right off the bat. Several knew it was military and geez.. Must be nice to afford.. Husband said wife got for Christmas.. Wow they say.. Yep! I did good.. Great ... MoreI got this for my husband, who has a different G shock and loves it. He thought it died after 15 plus years.

I'm a very picky watch person but have always gone with Casio watches that last longer then other brands on the market. The Rangeman 9400 came into production in 2013 which was the first G Shock triple sensor in production. I wanted this watch for many yrs but I have learned to wait because every released production yr Casio improves the watch to fix flaws and firmware for top functionality and accuracy. Mine I just received was this yrs production and I'm so far really impressed! I've used it to navigate by map setting points and never have been lead astray. The watch goes through modes without delays, everything loads fast including the sensor data. The nice feature is that the compass information will stay active 60 seconds instead of previous triple sensors that ... MoreI'm a very picky watch person but have always gone with Casio watches that last longer then other brands on the market.

The watch goes through modes without delays, everything loads fast including the sensor data. The nice feature is that the compass information will stay active 60 seconds instead of previous triple sensors that only stayed active 20 seconds. Also calibrating the compass has never been so easy to perform. I'm really happy with my G Shock purchase and look forward to long yrs of use. A little tip to those who have corrosion issues or watch band issues. 1. Never shower with your watch or wash dishes with dish soap. 2. Never wear watch while working around or near chemicals. Shower wash, detergents or other cleaning chemicals will absolutely destroy a watch! If you've ever took time to read your Casio watch book it clearly says to never use around chemicals. But hey it's your $300.00 watch so take care of it as carelessly as you want but don't ever blame Casio for your mistakes.

The negative display is disappointingly difficult to read. I have healthy young eyes and lasik eye surgery, so I have no issues seeing. The problem with the negative display on this watch is that you ALWAYS need very good lighting directly above the watch or at some angle in order to be able to tell the time. Smaller items on the display like the date and time or the seconds counters or barometer or compass readings are impossible to see... If you are under direct sunlight outside, the watch face looks amazing. Go indoors and unless you have direct overhead lighting, I highly doubt that you will have a good experience with this watch. If youre dying to have this watch despite my warning, just expect to use the back-light OFTEN in order to be able to tell the time. ... MoreThe negative display is disappointingly difficult to read.

At home, I could barely ever read the time without really focusing on the watch and moving my wrist around. I returned this and bought the positive display version and now I'm very happy.
