Glad I could help! Enjoy the beast! Cheers

Yeah.. I hear it. Why did he said that😂

Thank you Richard!

Thank you, I'm glad it helped!

In my opinion talking hardcore hikers compass is their true friend. The idea behind this was to give users fun watching their activities through their phone. E.g., all Garmin users buy Garmin bc they love to throw their activities and look over on their computers, but you have to recharge the watch often. G-Shock is a never die battery companion, badass in terms of looks what's so called bomb proof, and remains the simple classic Casio menu. Coming to GG-B100, location indicator will give you directions while you keep your phone on your pocket and not scratch it in the bushes as you are returning from the hike (plus save phone's battery). If battery dies, at least you know the bearing which you can follow. It is a great watch that can come handy in certain situations. I hope my answer wasn't too long, but helpful.

If that's what u r looking for than Casio has u covered with GPR-B1000, but you will have to pay the price for getting gps compass bluetooth alti/barometer thermometer and sunrise sunset with solar charging

Then buy the Rangeman GPR-B1000 (I just did a review on one and it is awesome!)

@@HenriUnzip Good answer

Right. I'll think the Same....

You will need the phone for it to work. If your phone dies, all you can use is the compass, and other features. The best alternative is honestly navigation skills. If you have a compass and map and can shoot bearings, you’ll always be better off than relying on technology. It’s more of an extra tool in the bag as opposed to the sole thing you rely on.

A pencil, paper and compass is all you need.

Glad it was helpful!

If you saw in the video, you can extend it by another 3 minutes by pressing the middle right button.

Wow thank you so much for your help !!❤️

Thanks mate!

Glad you liked it!

Glad it was helpful!

Dude, you are so wrong on so many levels...but who am I to explain how this kind of watch is used and by who.

@@S80Retroboy80s You take words of my mouth

No.

Hi, unfortunately you can't. Though, Casio's software developers could solve this and update the firmware of the app with such a feature if they want to... It would be awesome to save different location points. Thank you for watching

Yes, it will go back to normal watch function. Keep in mind that you can extend it to 6 min and that you don't need to pull out your phone anytime the 3 min is over, you just hold the compass button to hit it again (just make sure not to turn off the data connection on your mobile).

@@HenriUnzip thanks for your reply, ohh i thought that i can turn off the mobile data, because i have rangeman gpr b1000, they can transfer the gps from the phone to the watch, then i can turn off my phone and also the gps last forever in the watch. becaue it doesnt need any connection. so its different.

Yes, that is different. You have an amazing huge watch, love it.

@@HenriUnzip hi henry, i think i wanna buy it. just curious about the compass, is it can show the direction the way which we wanna go? or it only can show the way to our previous location like you showed in the video? i mean : 1. can i set a location in the G-Shock app like the gpr b1000? not manually set in the watch. 2. if i'm at "place A" and i want to go to "Place B" (about 200km from Place A), is it possible the compass can show the way & show the remaining distance? Do you get what i meant ?? :D

I understand. This model only shows directions to our previous location point (just as in the video). 1: Through the G-Shock app you cannot set a location on the map and then to follow it, you do it only through the watch.. manually (though if G-Shock staff want, in a software update they can make this a reality). 2: As you can tell by now, the watch shows directions and distance to your last saved location point. I really hope that G-Shock plays more with the software, it would be great.

Info on

Hi Emre, this function comes very handy for example when you are returning from a hike. Using your smartphone with sweaty hands, ain't the best option and as walking through rough terrains you will need those hands. While a durable watch like this, could really be the smart option and you are going to save up juice on your phone. (That's how I use it)

Hello, so I suppose you have paired the watch with your phone at first place. Anytime you want to save a location point make sure you have Bluetooth and internet turned on. Here's my guess, when you memory a location point while pressing for 5 sec the compass button you need to release the button after the two beeping sounds, not before (I'm telling this because there is people who got errors because of releasing the finger from the button too fast). And the other thing, while saving a location point, don't walk around, stay still in one place, otherwise it will read error. Hope this helps!

I got the reason ! reason is i try this function at home,when i go outside home everything work properly!

For ne it's keep doing the same problem. I have paired the watch, location and bluetooth turned on, I'm in the middle of a open air field and it's still failing on me. However the missionlog works flawlessly...

@@bobyg87 Did you find any solution to this ? I meet the same issue. thanks !

Yes

Henri Unzip That just helps me made my decision to get a GWG1000.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otqHZ7Wex67DnXk.html G-Shock.

I really liked the orange one but with my line of work I went with the black model for fear of the orange getting stained.

@@rctruxbashing7420 thanks Bro, Finally I brought the black colour.. So happy with it...

I like the green one because the golden botton looks good

I have the orange because I love the dark green+The carbon looks so good with it. All colors are still awsome though

Hi, no you can't, you can only save one and return back to it. It would be great if they add multiple location points to their app and so we could choose. Thanks for watching man

Try with its brother : GR-B200

If you own this watch, or any one else witch is connectable with *G-SHOCK CONNECTED* , enter in " *demo* " any model you want visualize, to navigate into their mode ! Try to see in demo these gems in *GRAVITY MASTER* section: *GPW-2000* , *GR-B100* , *GWR-200* but if you want two screens(analogic and digital), *GR-B200* (like i said in the first comment, which it's not exactly the brother of *GG-B100* which is the *MUDMASTER* model, but some functions are quite the same, with flight specifications in plus!

If the GPS on your phone picks up the signal, then it will work.

Alright I see. If you keep the watch flat and it still shows you wrong directions then what you should do is very easy. You have to calibrate its compass. First you press the compass button then hold the top left button until "set" starts flashing to enter the menu. There you will have to move your watch in a certain pattern which you find on the manual online. I'm sure this will resolve your issue.

Hmm, who knows why that shows up different on yours. I checked on someone else's and just as mine had the "rocket" icon. However, important is to work, letter "G" sounds cool!

I figured out why today! when you're in 300 feet or closer of range to your target it shows a "g" when your farther it shows the rocket. :)

Hello, so make sure you have good data connection, Bluetooth enabled, open the G-Shock App, and then make sure to press and hold the compass button for as long as you hear the two beeping sounds (5 sec for location memory, 2 sec for location indicator). Hopefully it helps!

If ur on a long hike and lose service or phone dies. Its a backup.

@@07rayrod but you still need battery on your phone for it to work don't you??

@@07rayrod from what I was understanding it is dependent on the phones connection. its a gimmick

Yes, you have to pull out the phone at first. Without synchronizing the watch with the phone, you cannot "memory location" or "indicate location". But works in a snap, the app loads fast, you add a command and your phone goes back on the pocket.

HenryTech Thanks for the fast reply.. But I meant a scenario where the phone is already connected to the watch.. permanently. Then I arrive at a location that I want to pinpoint. Do I have to take out the already paired phone or could I just press the button on the watch and the phone in my pocket locks the location. Do you know what I mean?

Got it. Yes, you can leave your phone in your pocket once both devices are paired, and you can press commands using just the watch! Awesome right? I use this a lot.

@@HenriUnzip Totally. I want to use it for work and mountaineering this thing has just all the perfect gadgets. Thanks Buddy!

​@@Billytheshit Problem is, in most Mountains where I go trekking, there's no cellphone connection. Guess, I'll have to get a Garmin.

Memory location doesn't get deleted. It can get replaced only when you memory a new location point.

Without internet connection you cannot set location points because the watch doesn't have built-in gps.

Hi Robby, make sure you release the button at the right time (this seems a common solution for some) and make sure you have good connection. I myself take this watch for hikes or when I explore a city and I use the location indicator on the way back. I love it bc once the watch and the smartphone are connected you can leave your phone in the pocket and only use the watch to refresh the location. This will save tons of juice in your smartphone and won't have to deal with the map on your smartphone which melts the battery quickly. There's another reason, this watch is used also for military purposes, GPS watches are detectable and can reveal the location of a soldier's base, hence GPS watches are only ideal for sports' activities. For me it's a tool, hope it helps, cheers!

Hi Nizam, you didn't mention the mission log. Next time try to do an activity by activating the mission log feature. I have done a video on that. Use it if you want to check the route, the distance, time travel and altitude. Let me know if it helps

Henri Unzip , means , once I’m connected via Bluetooth, i need to press Altitude button before start my journey , then its will start track my route , then once finish my route , again need to press Altitude butyon to stop its to record my track , is that true ?

YES, you got it right man!

Now , how to set up compass to show us the indicator point to NORTH , becouse now once I’m pres compass , its show me SOUTH direction, its was to weird , cozz any compass we use its , automatically will show us NORTH

The light works without problems while using other functions. It doesn't affect functions you apply to the watch, nor it doesn't stop the compass or anything else.

@@HenriUnzip mine doesnt stop the functions but during compass the needle freezes while the light is on and goes back when light goes off.

Oh okay, that happens to mine as well, don't worry, it's just Casio.

@@HenriUnzip oh ok. Thanks. Kinda aggrevating but no th a deal breaker. Glad its not a fake.

Almost the perfect watch. I go to the woods to leave my smartphone behind.

Uses both for dual layer protection.

@@HenriUnzip oic meaning able to prevent from scratch also?

@@devil_samuraix6176 To a certain degree yeah, but not as scratch resistant as sapphire glass.

@@HenriUnzip ic.. thanks for your info.

Press again for 2 sec the compass button. It will start another 3 min for your directions.

In my opinion bc of some added hardwares such as: sapphire crystal, atomic clock, tough solar, better lume, vibe resist, and since is bigger hence more material used. But in terms of software and functionality the GG B100 kills the GWG 1000.

But since GG B100 does not have tough solar.. A) how long does the battery last?.. B) Does it drain quickly?.. C) Does it take too long to replace the battery?

you know there are places that arent cities
