Description

The RANGEMAN is part of the “Master of G" series of watches designed for use in the most extreme conditions. RANGEMAN watches incorporate Triple Sensor to measure compass bearing, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and temperature, based on the concept of “Survival Toughness." In addition to Triple Sensor, the new GPR-B1000 is capable of GPS navigation—a first for a G-SHOCK watch. The watch collects location data from GPS satellites to display the current location on a route or bearing to a destination, in real-time. The watch also saves track and point data (including longitude/latitude, altitude, and temperature) in memory. Using Bluetooth, the watch pairs with a smartphone to connect with the G-SHOCK Connected app, allowing the user to create routes or manage log data in the app. Tracks and point data saved in memory are displayed on a 3D map or as a timeline. The watch also receives data from time servers to keep accurate time anywhere in the world. The GPR-B1000 features both wireless and solar charging systems. The GPS functions are usable for up to 33 hours on a wireless charge of approximately five hours. Even if the battery level drops below a usable level for GPS while outdoors, solar charging can be used to resume GPS functions for a limited time. The time display is kept powered at all times using solar charging, regardless of the status of GPS functions. The GPR-B1000 delivers toughness in construction and materials, with a dust- and mud-resistant structure and carbon fiber insert band. Designed for the ultimate in survival toughness, the GPR-B1000 is the latest evolution of G-SHOCK.

abunda_amazon_reviews I will start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the Casio G-Shock line. I have the Mudmaster GWG-1000, and the Pro Trek WSD-F20 which has a very nice screen but no battery life. I compared this to all my GPS watches including the Garmin fenix 5X and then just realized that you can't compare this watch to anything else because it's in a class all by itself (which is neither good or bad). I know that it's only a couple of millimeters thicker and wider than my Mudmaster, but it feels and looks larger, thicker, and heavier, which I do like. It feels great on the wrist and this has to be the most comfortable strap that has ever been made for a G-Shock! Even with the carbon fiber reinforcement (which you can see through a clear coat on the back of the strap) it is so comfortable, I have actually forgotten that it was on my wrist. It has a battery life that is far superior to any other GPS watch I own. The fenix 5X has really good battery life, but this one, with its no-frills monochrome screen, holds the battery life almost indefinitely. The recharging attachment snaps easily onto the back of the watch and it charges very quickly. The ceramic back of the watch is impressive, and my understanding is that it helps with inductive charging and also quicker and easier GPS reception; regardless, it is pretty neat and very comfortable. It would be nice to have a larger screen, but I also understand that there has to be space for the solar charging panel. The onboard menus are easy to navigate and intuitive. The phone based software app needs some upgrading and the limitations are too many to go into with this review. One issue I had was that I made adjustments to the watch from the phone app (such as changing the altitude from meters to feet, the temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit, etc.) and only some of the changes actually worked. This happened with every attempt, so what I ended-up doing was just going into the submenus and making the changes on the watch. This resulted in the changes actually remaining. The other thing is that this watch does not have any ability to measure heart rate or steps and although it does connect with the software on your phone, it doesn't receive texts or messages like a 'smart' watch (the Pro Trek WSD-F20 and Garmin do receive messages, etc.). That was when I realized that this watch isn't trying to be a smart watch, it's just a watch that you'd really want if you were stranded somewhere, especially where there was no cellular signal. The watch in no way 'relies' on the software on the phone and what I mean by this is that when connected to the phone, you cannot manipulate any screens on the watch; you must actually disconnect the watch from the phone app to use it. This makes it a pure survivalist watch that I would want to have if I was out in the middle of nowhere. As far as the GPS goes, I was actually disappointed when I first connected because it took over 5 minutes of sitting in the same place, outside, to connect. For whatever reason, during and after the 3rd connection, it now connects very quickly. My Garmin fenix is by far the quickest and connects indoors without any windows nearby in less than 10-15 seconds, and now this watch connects just as fast if not faster than my Garmin. I don't know why it took so long the first couple of times, but ever since my 3rd attempt to connect, it now connects in just a couple of seconds even if I'm indoors with no windows around. The GPS is just as accurate and precise as any other watch or handheld on the market and you can download the activities onto your phone/iPad and use either topographic or satellite maps to show your activity which is pretty cool. I'm sure that as this watch is on the market for a longer period of time, the software will get better and better, as with most products. Garmin has the best software on the market, but again, this is not a smart watch designed for exercise, etc. or to compete with those types of platforms. Overall, this is a great watch and although very expensive at over $900.00 (almost twice as much as I paid for the Pro Trek or Garmin) I would say is worth the price. I actually like that it doesn't need to be connected to a phone and works all on its own. It's also nice that it doesn't send/receive texts or emails from my phone; if I want that feature, I can use one of my other two watches. I like this watch for everyday wear and will use it in my routine rotation of watches.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;This is the typical great watch from Casio.;;Sonny F(tr);;;What a great watch! I’m a tech nerd but it took me a while to understand how this watch works! Came with Japanese instruction manual but I downloaded the English instructions from Casio’s website/customer service section. This watch is BIG! 60mm! My wrist size is average but this watch still fits! Fast shipping from Japan, awesome seller!;;Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;With a Casio, you can’t go wrong!;;Kahuna_04;;;Don't waste your money on this watch. It felt apart after exactly 11 months of normal to rugged use. The screws holding the straps in place sheared after a while as I was adjusting the strap. Extremely disappointed in this watch. Again go with something something else.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Broke after 11 months of normal to rugged use.;;PRODanZO;;;First I want to say thank you to the seller. The shipping was really fast from Japan to South Africa. Received the watch in a very good condition as well. I'm in position with few different G-shock watches like the MRG-G1000, MTG-G1000, GPW G1000 and GW-9400J which I recently bought from this exact same seller. Must say comparing it to my collection this watch is really awesome and outstanding with all the available futures for camping and hiking. This G-shock is highly recommended and as well the seller for his very fast shipping. Well done!!!!;;Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Casio GPR-B1000;;Amazon Customer;;;I have several watches, and I can say without any doubt that this beast is the best watch in the world !!!!! It looks great on the wrist, and very comfortable to wear despite its size. I have received many compliments. In one of the comments, someone commented that it only resists 20 meters under water, but it is a bad interpretation, because this beast resists 200 meters under water, or what is equal to 20 BAR. Do not get confused with this. Buy it, you will not regret it !!!;;Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;The best watch ever!!!!!!!;;GOLD;;;Watch is awesome, i own many and this one by far is the best. Learning how to use functions is not to bad, watch is a little big but you are used to the feel on your arm after a day. I also cant say enough good comments about the seller, the watch was delivered before the scheduled dates and watch was in perfect shape. Love this watch.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;G-Shock Rangeman GPR-B1000-1JR review;;Stephen miller;;;I've been buying and wearing G Shocks since 1986 and the more features Casio adds only makes a better watch. This watch is awesome and seems to be bullet proof.
