I know several mountain climbers, many from Switzerland and they mostly don't wear a watch, or if they do it's usually a light ProTrek... real mountain climbers don't use toys like these, these toys are for those who aren't native to reading and surveying the openness, or are less experienced. This is where it goes very wrong, you're trying to make something the watch isn't, thinking it's a Sat-Nav, the GPR isn't that type of watch, it's a tough watch that has tracking abilities and is able to set points for later use. Huge battery pack with a working solar charging system. It's mud resistant and resistant to shocks including temperature shocks, plus has a LOW TEMP DISPLAY, and have you seen how a regular LCD/display acts when in freezing conditions? Let me also mention the reliability of the GPR-B1000 Rangeman, at this moment and time Garmin for an example have been hacked, which has forced them to shutdown the app side, which means I can't at this moment plan any routes to my watch, am also experiencing GPS signals loss! While that's in a mess my Rangeman continues to track me, route me and set point memos, so if anything sucks at the moment it's not the GPR. Their's climbers and their's CLIMBERS, I think the ones you've been listening to aren't hardcore with no nonsense relying on gadgets, the big boys interest is making a challenging summit. You choose your tools wisely, if you choose a tool expecting more, then having a hissy fit about it proves their weakness, real climbers get on with it and always move upwards. Look at both sides to build the fuller picture, and those real climbers don't have time for KZfaq! So these watches are for the lesser men if you know what I mean, we are using these as aids but sometimes you never know, so having a solid tool with some form of help can be a life saver, but it's not 100%, and getting lost is easily done regardless, as humans make mistakes that no computer can help you with.

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman ..thanks for the quick and detailed explanation did not expect anything else 😉🙃 but to immediately get rid of a misunderstanding, I do not criticize the Rangeman GPR since I have the Green version (1B) myself. I always wanted to buy a solar buy powered G Shock but there was never one with all the features on it that I personally would have liked to see until the rangeman gpr came out. have the Rangeman-B1000 1-BER since November 2018, was first in the Netherlands with the green version though lol😉have to honestly say navigation of the rangeman gpr has never let me down during the long forest walks with the kids.Im a noob and no mountain climbing for me😋 i was just wodering cuz of reviews.so thx again bud ! when i got the first all youre YT vids realy helped me understand the watch to the fullest for that i tyvm! I wonder if the navigation would work in the amazon woods in south america ,with all those trees i would have clear open sky above me?..Keep up the Good Work bud..be save n god bless✌

@@the_outer_circle_trader1936 Cheers for your reply :) The Garmin fan boys have gone quite and the Rangeman fans still continue using their GPR's... use it to its means and it's a powerful tool... as with trees this does have an effect, personally I believe GPS watches and devices work using antennas, have been doing some research about this, as the military still stand by them. The coverage from a frequency covers a huge distance, and to think how far the MB6 antennas reach just goes to show their strength. Sometimes with an open sky in a deep valley the GPS can fail which I've lived, and this gives me more proof to my idea how they work. Also receiving frequencies doesn't use up battery that fast, look how long a battery radio can last, and that has a speaker too. If you're planning an Amazon adventure, then please go with a guide and in a group, at least you have food if you're not a vegetarian LML :-P Have a great Sunday :)

so what 😋

they found the perfect man for rhe job✌

he means he suggest that casio sponsor this man so he can do more review.

Thank you my friend... now, I'm not called Mr Rangeman for the sake of it, I've owned this watch since it was released in 2018, and so please look at the playlist for all the GPR-B1000 videos, and enjoy the entertainment while waiting for your own to land... cheers :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman i am doing that, indeed. Great videos!!!🎉🎉

Thank you my friend for your amazing message... it was a pleasure to help and glad it wasn't anything wrong with the actual Rangeman. I enjoy doing this channel and most importantly helping with understanding a watch that I've had experience with, as those who sell these types of watches aren't as geek as I am, plus they've probably not lived with it enough to understand every detail. I like to address every possible situation with watches I review especially these hybrids, even taken them on pointless tests across Europe just to see how the GPS functions, but if anything it just shows how incredible this Rangeman is. Anyway, thanks again for the message has made some big smiles my end of the world. Cheers Phill

@Spikey Scenes Cheers buddy... I did have loads more videos on the GPR-B1000, but have lost them when my original channel as removed (full story on my Instagram) but I'm glad I still have the long GPS pointless tests :) This video is new, but think it's better than my first one... it's long but has it all in one place... Have a super Sunday and cheers again :)

Cheers buddy... you're not the first to say if CASIO paid me, and I also got a negative comment saying how crap the GPR-B1000 was compared to the Garmin Fenix's, and that I must be getting paid to support such crap.... well the answer is, CASIO don't, nobody pays me, this is a passion that I enjoy, and making it a job would spoil that side I'm sure. The GPR-B1000 is my favourite watch, and when my Fenix 6 Pro couldn't be used when Garmin got hacked that time last year, my trusty GPR-B1000 was ready... oddly that negative comment guy went quite when I returned to ask how his Fenix is coping with the use of Garmin's App... well he didn't reply, and that was one point I mention, that this GPR-B1000 shouldn't be compared to the Fenix, both are different, but most importantly, both can navigate you :) (the Rangeman navigates further) Enjoy it, it's a very very good G-Shock to have :)

Hey buddy... this is a new video, as the last one was lost when my old channel was removed... but think this video is better as I cover more details keeping it in one place... I will post the test screen side of this watch soon, as that has some fun things, and one that I use often. Cheers for the support and feedback... and just to add, I'm always learning new things, and sometimes it's nice to find these new finds after you've had a watch for a while, as it makes it feel like a new watch again :))

Cheers buddy.. I make my videos to how I want to see it if watching it from another channel... never enough details hey... cheers again :)

Perfect timing I would say... wasn’t sure if I wanted to make another tutorial on the GPR-B1000 as it’s packed full with so much details, that I knew it would be a long time in the making... but grabbed the bit and went full on with it... there’s more to this watch, but decided that what I would cover is plenty enough. The manual is scatty where to start, so my tutorial is basically start to finish in order... time stamps are there to use at anytime too... Thank you for your feedback, makes me happy that it’s useful... Cheers from a mix of sun, grey and snow flurries here in Buckinghamshire UK

Thank you my dear friend for your uplifting comment :))) So was this tutorial better than the first one I made back in 2018? I know, it was that long ago :) No Mrs Rangeman this time, but she'll be back later in the year for more fun mini watch movies :) So pleased it helped, that's what I enjoy doing with regards to helping :)

WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman honestly it is better than the first one. I think they are much more confident in using the functions of the watch, and so you could explain it in an easier way to understand. 🙂

@@PfarrerHerzblut Thank you... I thought so too, as I added all what I filmed before in one video now.... the navigational side I think is better, maybe not as much fun without Mrs Rangeman, but it shows how it performs in the real world :) Thanks again for your honesty, and your support and welcome back us hey :))

Cheers for your comment my friend... have a look on the used market if you're on a budget, some sold are near to new condition I've noticed... thanks again :)

I needed to re-make this tutorial, as I'm known as being Mr Rangeman... took a long while to get this done, more than when I did the tutorial on my Fenix 6 Pro... but I enjoy it and love a challenge... cheers buddy :))

You had yours early, got mine in October 2018 a little after the release date... brilliant watch, has it all... probably has the biggest solar ring on any G-Shock too :)) You never know, making a point memo could be a life saver, especially if it's where you left your wife LML :-P Cheers for your feedback my friend :))

Hey buddy What a great comment with some interesting information too. Now I’ve been doing some research especially with regards to the GPS, and when I mention to those who are having issues with getting GPS signals, is because I believe that the GPS is working using antennas like how the military use. Now I’ve experienced that in areas that are isolated, near military zones or some airports, that the GPS isn’t available. When I was in the mountains in Switzerland travelling in a deep valley, I lost the GPS signal, even with a lovely blue sky above my head. But as soon as I climb nearer to the road, the GPS signal returned. Some think I’m wrong and it does use satellites, but I’ve yet to try it in the middle of absolutely nowhere to see if I’m able to get a signal, and for those in Qatar unable to use their GPR’s proves it’s antenna based in my view. The frequency range is pretty wide form antennas, but fall too far below, or travel too high with many mountain peeks, you’ll be out of range, and if it was satellite, then you shouldn’t have issues surly???.... it’ll be interesting to know how you get on sharing your experience along the way. Please let us know... cheers buddy and thanks again ;)

@Main Jarboui how did it work in the desert?

@@Imafed42069 yes it did , it was awesome .

This was very informative. If someone was looking for a unit just as capable but for less coinage, what would you recommend?

@@turksman1711 In my opinion the Garmin Instinct is this unit... I've done a few videos on the Instinct including a GPS test between the Rangeman vs Fenix 5X Plus... also a full tutorial and an endurance GPS test seeing how far it can go in a car. It's also a nice looking watch, tough and doesn't look like a step tracker, it actually looks like a G-Shock... there's a Tactile version if you want information while flying out of a plane :-P I own these watches, so have much experience with them all... hope that helps and also look on the secondary market if you're on a budget.

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thanks

Cheers buddy... please checkout the other GPR-B1000 videos I have posted that are found in the playlist... cheers :))

So welcome my friend... you'll be back again using my video for sure... am expert with it so any questions just ask... let us know your thoughts... cheers :))

Thank you kind sir!!! I absolutely love the watch. I've been going back to your tutorial for help, much appreciated. The GPR-B1000 is one of those watches that I just glance at and smile, so happy it's on my wrist. Thanks again for your video!

@@earthlingserrano3572 So pleased my tutorial has helped... thanks for your feedback :)

And those driving tanks say "I love my tank, it's built like a Rangeman" :))

Buddy, that was brilliantly written, had me LML reading it out... have to read again... I would love to share this comment on the community page, are you cool with that?? Cheers :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Sure go ahead my friend :) I was thinking it was a bit too puerile to post, but I hoped it might raise a laugh. Only that I've been re reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. With all of the watch sensors showing temperature drops, moon phases, the time daylight ends and its helping us stop being lost in the woods it had me thinking that good old Jonathan Harker -Draculas arch nemesis (alongside Dr Van Helsing) could have done with a Rangeman. Its definitely a watch for a crisis! Thanks for the video by the way. I have literally been taking notes in a jotter since Casios instructions are hard going. I love your style, no superfluous information, but everything we need to know.

@@DJ-eg1zg Hey buddy, have just posted it on the community page :)) Big fan of the Van Helsing and all that blood thirsty action LML :-P So pleased the video helped, and would you believe this is the second time I had to film this, as it was originally posted my my first channel, which got removed for making a joke at BOLEX in Biel Switzerland as an April's Fools joke... it didn't even breach the KZfaq guidelines, but 174 videos and just shy of 8000 subs all gone, and also lost all the content but 20 video's including the big GPR-B1000 tutorial... so will chatting to Mrs Rangeman, I decided to remake it, and in my opinion this version is better, as it has the navigation all in one. I have done a few videos on the GPR-B1000 with a test of the GPS driving through Europe, and did it perform... a monster of a G-Shock and my favourite watch too :) Thanks again and chat soon I'm sure :))

WOW... I hope you made most of that buying percentage from you.. as now I have much on the line LML :-P The videos don't lie, so what you see is what you get and it's true, the battery is a monster! Remember when it's on 2 cells on the battery, that's like a regular solar G-Shock, so if you want a few days of GPS then use the charger and don't rely upon the solar side, as the battery to reach full charge (4 cells) is massive, and it would take weeks to get it up to full... the solar does keep the watch performing, and does top up the battery to 3 cells, but wanted to mention this now that 4 cells is faster with the wireless charger. Looking forward to your feedback once it lands... just find a nice quite spot when you open it, and enjoy the experience... think the size will get you first :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thanks again for all the footwork you do. I can't wait to take it out to a few spots I've been eyeing for fishing/hiking.

@@aaronapodaca8724 Cheers :))

My favourite watch of all time... has so much function even without an hourly alarm, but you can set the timer if you're really in need to track the day away :)) Pleased my video helped, now you can unleash your imagination and make it work further... remember the test screens has some nice features like the 1hr barometer live reading :))

I've encountered a problem, I can connect to moon and tide on the app on my phone, but the map comes up with no data, so I can't sync moon and tide with my location. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@@anthonymares5079 Let me try and help... connect the GPR to the app... select the settings icon at the top right corner, and scroll down to select tide location and open. For an example, I’m in Switzerland at the moment, and the map isn’t showing any port locations, well that’s obvious, as Switzerland doesn’t have tides, so really having tide information is pointless, unless you need to know from another country, so from the map, scrolling around with pinch to zoom in or out will show all the ports with red dots. From there you’ll follow what is needed. You may find that you won’t see these port location red dots, that’s because you either need to pinch to zoom out, or you’re in a land like Switzerland, that has no sea ports. Let me know what you encounter, and see (sea) if I can help further if needed. Cheers

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hi just how would connect the GPS from the watch to the app on my phone, thank you.

@@anthonymares5079 You connect via Bluetooth... so open the App, then long press of a few seconds on button C then the watch will connect ;)

The other week someone had a hissy fit at me saying I should stop telling people this watch is great as I get paid by CASIO LML :-P You know it's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but it's always ready and will last way way longer than any smart watch of today... I've done many reviews and even pointless tests on this Rangeman, so enjoy my content to see how it performs... I really like it and I told you that for free LML :-P

WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Much love, thanks brother

Thank you my friend... can I ask, is there another tutorial like it? Cheers :))

It has taken me about two hours to come down after reading your super comment... WOW what amazing feedback and a boost too, so many huge thank you's my friend :)) Mrs Rangeman just shows at random times, but she's a dream and loves to help, even if it's a voice over :) Thanks again :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman She adds to the clairity that a finely engineered and appreciated watch has its limits. :)

When I saw 'YOU' in cap lock format I thought who have I ruined this time?? LML :-P I'm hoping my friends from Watcho will loan me one... but Europe is having a lockdown so makes things rather poop... but am working on it, and till then I'm sure there's plenty that will cover how the alarm works underwater, and how the GPS functions while on a Roller coaster showing the HR readings... you know the common tests needed that everyone is doing :-P Yeah. I want to push this baby too... I'm not a fitness head, but I know many who want this just because it's so cool, and has great G-Shock quality :)) Cheers for the feedback and support... and I feel no guilt that you bought one of the best G-Shocks/watches from my videos... have a great weekend as possible... cheers :)

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I have the G Shock H1000, It's a great watch, I get the Rangeman on the 9th September. I downloaded you're video, so when I get it (which I can't wait to get it) I can watch it over and over again and not waste my data..... I bought the Rangeman, because watching you're video's on how good the Rangeman is , I can't pass it up.... thanks for a great video Mate, from an Aussie fan

@@wrightstuf73sw My favourite G-Shock is my Rangeman... it's not the fastest at getting the GPS, but it's the only GPS watch that continues to power the GPS... I've travelled from UK to Switzerland and back again by road and the Rangeman mapped it all, unbelievable... basic navigation that's reliable and works when mountain biking as the bearing compass doesn't jump around like on my Fenix, so they put some head thought into it. She's also build to another level over your H1000, and the wireless charger is very neat indeed... I did a review on my ultimate case with a mod I did to my wireless charger, so maybe for you too for later?? I've posted on my community page about the GPR-B1000 asking what true owners think, as one channel really hated it, but it turns out they're comparing a top of the range Range Rover next to a Trophy Truck. I've had mine since October 2018 and there's no way I'm returning it!!!!

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman That's why I can't wait to get my Rangeman in a couple of weeks ;))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Where can I find you're community page Mate?

Back in the days when smart watches were on the new horizon, I jumped on the kick starter for Pebble watches... I about four at one time and loved them... and theirs me banging on how you don't need your phone and how convenient the watch is to read your messages... but when that silly iWatch came out, Pebble cut many of the features it was offering, and of course Apple wanted their customers buying their watches, so Pebble became literally a Pebble, so was made to return to looking at my phone at the messages... but over a period of two weeks I realised I was using the Pebble making it fit in my life, and living without it wasn't the end of the world, and ever since I don't have interest. Sometimes best to keep it mineral and let the phone do what it does, and a camera do what that does, as it's less fuss especially trying to get that connection between watch and phone on smart watches :-P The GPR-B1000 will outlive any smart watch of today and phone and cars and people... it's a hybrid, but also stands alone ready and waiting for you, and most importantly , it'll be reliable and not have a mental breakdown because it can't upload the latest software... the GPR-B1000 is my ultimate and favourite watch, next to my new GG-B100 Mudmaster :)) Cheers and you did a good choice :) (Instinct is also great)

Thanks again... was fun to make, but took longer than my Fenix 6 pro video would you believe :-P

Thank you my friend, that was really uplifting to read... it needed a good solid tutorial, hope it helped :)) Cheers once again!

Hello my dear friend... this is where I've been... busy wiggling this big video out, and it took ages, as everyone is home and it feels they all have a drum kit each LML :-P The re-make is done and now I can eat LML :-P Will catch up with WhatsApp soon :))

So welcome... probably the hardest to tutorial on as getting the balance where to to start isn't easy... but feel the path I took seems to be a hit... cheers for the feedback my friend :))

Thank you my friend... put a lot of thought into this video to make it easy to follow in a understandable order... a few knock this watch thinking it's expensive for such basic GPS features... well this morning it took my Fenix 6 Pro 22 minutes to get a GPS fix on my walk, while the Rangeman took less than a minute into the walk. The simple layout is perfect for those frustrating moments when you need to access features quickly, while having the better GPS watch can make it overwhelming and makes you press the wrong buttons in panic... it's a survival watch made for the toughest environments with a battery that can run a small town :) Are you considering this Rangeman or do you already own it? Cheers!

No rules my friend on my channel, wear it with odd socks like me, it's about making you feel great, it'll also give you a workout LML :-P Cheers!

Hey buddy, sorry for your Rangeman, would you like to share what broke? This was my second tutorial on the GPR-B1000, as the first video was on my original channel that KZfaq removed for no reason at all :( so lost a lot of unsaved content :( so had to really think about remaking this video, and I'm so pleased I did, in fact it's better, as I have included the navigational side now, and yes, it took a lot of time, especially with the editing, but I enjoy helping :) I have made more videos about the Rangeman, including some fun mini movies, which is found in the playlist :) Let us know when your Rangeman is back with your in Germany, cheers :) Grüß

Am so so pleased it helped, and would you believe this is the second time around making a GPR-B1000 tutorial, as my original channel got removed, so was annoying as that video was lost with the channel... and so wasn't sure if I should remake it all again... well I'm very pleased I did, as the video has just topped 200k...

Wonderful tool as you say :))

Better hurry, as it's discontinued.... the exact reason isn't clear from CASIO, whether there's a new Rangeman in the horizon or if this was too expensive to produce???

Gulp... hope you made the right choice LML :-P I love mine, one of the best all round G-Shocks in my collection... well if you need help you know where to come with how to use... have a few other videos too including some mini fun movies with the Rangeman :)) Let us know your thoughts once it lands... cheers bud :)

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I'm sure I have made the right decision. I have watched every Rangeman video going including yours. I'm just hoping the watch is still relevant in 2020? What do you think?

@@steventhornley5373 Let me tell you some facts that I've lived... and being that I don't make a penny from CASIO means I can say what I like.... the point is which many don't understand is the GPR-B1000 is a GPS tracker which can track up to 48hrs on a full battery... once the battery falls below the minimum reserve it then acts as an ABC G-Shock... now being that I also use a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro I can really tell you the differences... the Fenix is a smart watch, it needs software updates to keep it smooth I guess, but it's hardware with software added exactly like a smart phone or PC... well it's going to perform like crazy and give you the best it can with the most details possible and giving you loads of performance, but as we know smart tech does become outdated, and eventually it'll be thrown away.... well the GPR-B1000 isn't a smart watch, it doesn't have the best with the most detailing and isn't the super sonic of the GPS class, but it also won't get any less of what it can do over the years... as the hardware is part of the software means it's more stable than a nuclear power plant... it won't crash, over heat and become a slug in a few years... it'll always be ready and won't need software updates leaving you waiting till you can use it... that's the big difference, and yes my Fenix has crashed 8 times, but it comes back... it's a great watch for the now, and hopefully it'll last for another 5yrs+, but I know this but it has the price of being the best. The GPR-B1000 is a survival tool, turn the GPS on and it'll track you, and also take point memos... it'll give you a GPS altimeter reading and point back to start... yeah it may have a useless map, but over a longer distance it gives you an idea, some moan about that side, but when only travelling a few kilometres you're not exactly lost... this is more for adventures over the harsher times... those who moan are the ones that follow Bear Grylls, he's a soft camper at the best of times, and just TV hype in my opinion, as some of his ideas are just too time consuming and energy taking... Ray Mears is the fat guy, and the fat guy knows how to feed, so living off meat for a few weeks will keep you alive as you have fat to burn, skinny guy will have a shock and probably go mind warping crazy LML :-P So the Rangeman is your Rayman.... and the Garmin is your Garylls... you want fancy go Grylls, you want simplicity but effective then hunt the Bear and survive the longest... if I had to choose, Rangeman is my pick, and I would also choose the first Gen Rangeman (GW-9400) To have a title of 'RANGEMAN' you need to earn it, and those two do. I've had a comment on my GBD-H1000 video with a guy gutting the crap out of the GRP-B1000 saying it failed and he took it apart and ended up throwing it away... well I said that's a worry, but when I mentioned that there was many good parts that could've been used to sell like the carbon strap, ceramic case back, sapphire crystal, battery, carbon composite case and the list goes on then asking which bin did he throw it in, he hasn't replied funnily??? Now call me an idiot some times, but throwing away a watch that isn't cheap or yet to attempt to have it fixed by CASIO for FREE is smelling a little odd don't you think... I would even go to the point to ask where he bought it and ask if there is evidence of this story??? I've been in the GRP-B1000 world since 2018 and I've heard of a few complaints with regards to issues, but nothing that alarms me, and things do go wrong.... I remember there was, and maybe that video is still available to view, where a guy wearing his GPR-B1000 had a big fall on his bicycle, and all he did in that video was hissy fit about one of the side bumpers ripping off! Now these bumpers are call bumpers and not airbags, and these are replaceable which is better than a whole new bezel, it's designed like this for such reasons... the watch itself was fully functional, so for £20 he could have it looking great again... now falling off a bicycle using a Fenix 6 Pro would look pretty bad, and the bezels on those are not cheap, and it means you have to remove many screws and a seal to exchange it... so it's these bad comments and press that I find lame... I've smashed my GPR-B1000 around and yes it has scuffs and some of the strap screws are worn, but it still looks fine to me, and performs perfectly. It's a tough watch, with that mud-resist don't forget, take it in the sea, lakes and snorkel with it all day with no issues! Now, some even say the wireless charger is cheap looking, well I have to add, I've crushed mine, sat on it and even got it wet, and it still works with no cracks... stay tuned as I've modded mine just to make it Mr Rangeman proof which I will show all. Yeah big comment, but I do get tired of those who knock this watch, and it's always from those who maybe need things done for them, meaning their hand needs holding, well if it's not for you, then it's no deal with me, we all have our own needs and requirements... I really love it, and I don't care if it doesn't have a hourly SIG, but would've been nice with a ((VIBE)) alarm... to me it's still very current, and the great thing with G-Shocks even the DW-5000c (1983) I own is still usable... don't think you need to worry for the nest 20yrs at least, and batteries for these aren't expensive and are easy to replace... I can still buy batteries for all my vintage G-Shocks :) Hope my words help you understand my side more, and why I have the name Mr Rangeman (given by a subscriber) Have a great weekend and looking forward to your Bear hunting :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman perfect answer although I'm not knocking the Rangeman. I've been after one for ages. It's the ultimate watch for me and I can't wait to own one. I have the GW9400 and I love it and will probably keep it. The GPR though is a different beast. All the functions with GPS and the top materials. I've seen people moan about certain things about it aswell, they forget that it's a survival watch and that's its purpose. I wanted to get away from the smart watches. Having to charge a watch seems ridiculous to me and I don't want notifications, I find them distracting, calls and texts are for my phone not my watch. Anyways thanks for your response, its great to hear from Mr Rangeman himself 😀.

@@steventhornley5373 I used to makes others think that notifications on the wrist is something you need in life, this was when Pebble came out... but as they sold out and left use users alone this makes me to now steer again to that side, am talking of the Apple and Samsung's offerings... the Fenix can do notifications but I bought it for more detailing on the maps, and I don't really carry my phone it's pointless... the GPR-B1000 is a solid watch, reliable and ready... you are going to enjoy this beast... I know all there is to know, so if you need help just throw a comment in, happy to help my friend :) Hope it lands soon, as that waiting game seems longer than normal days :-P

Cheers buddy, hope you're a master with the GPR-B1000 now... or are you looking??? Cheers!

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I already have it but thanks👍

@@iamthetargettrmaster4658 Brilliant... I have many videos on the GPR-B1000, so hopefully I've covered it all, both in tutorial and fun :)) Cheers!

That's what I like to hear :)) Cheers for the feedback my friend :)

Cheers buddy... so very welcome :))

How much ?

Hey buddy, cheers for your feedback :) So from Home Time pressing button D and selecting 'TIME (GPS)' works perfectly... does 'TIME&POSITION' work also? The usual reasons why the GPS won't work can be from this list: 1. Battery is below 2 cells 2. Timer is running 3. Sensor is running like BARO 4. You have the wrong Home City Code 5. Watch is connected to your device Let me know if turning those off helps and checking adjustments, otherwise I'll help further no trouble :)

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hey thanks for the swift reply.The time and pos (gps) never showed up.I went through ur check list and made sure that everything was on rails..and so was it.But still the gps navigation would not show up as it should.

@@griffitha5203 Has it a full battery, that's most important. So going outside, pressing button D from Home Time brings the Connection menu up... select 'TIME&POSITION' and press the crown and wait in the same place... should take 30secs to 1min max and display your coordinate with Adjusted on the display. Let me know if this works... cheers :)

Cheers for your comment :) The Rangeman GPR-B1000 is more focused on a much longer distance... the compass bearing is all that's needed especially if you have a map. If hiking over say 15km's and it's full with paths and the such, then the GPR isn't for this type of navigation... its primary focus is to point to your goal, or to start with a direct distance... the map is for reference to see roughly how far you're between points/point memos and when using back track it'll draw the line travelled thicker. Those who don't rate this watch are using it like a Garmin for an example, and not using it over a longer period. Don't forget it's still using a regular G-Shock module which is much more stable than smart watch tech. Understand what it can do and not make it what it can't. You'll appreciate it when there comes a time when you'll the most faith in it, as with smart watches, they love to excite you by crashing or freezing!

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thank you for your answer. I know that it isn't a Garmin, and I'm HAPPY it isn't a Garmin, it's not what I'm looking for. I really like the battery life, and even in the city streets I had no problem to receive GPS signal. I really love it, my comment was just to explain something to some peolpe that could expect a way of navigation like google map. I think that it's very important to know how to use the equipment you have, and thank you again for your amazing tutorial, if you know how to use the Rangeman it can be very effective, so I think it's important to make a smart use of waypoints, and for the backtrack it's very important to use "point memory" (maybe that's why you can set so many point, 60). Than I like very much the screen, so clearand of course, the built. I would buy it again 1000 times.

@@iacopodulisse What a great reply... I did post on the community page on the channel about one KZfaqr who really tired to make the GPR really bad... I even got a few comments saying I should stop lying and tell the truth as I must be getting paid... well the comment section from real users came in and it just shows how many just love their GPR's... quite recently Garmin got hacked and their apps where not connecting... so I asked how those who moaned saying the Fenix is a better watch, they didn't want to make a comment... so like I said to them, it's not a smart watch, but what it can do is something it won't stop doing... it has now sell by date. Thanks again my friend... I would buy it 1001 times :)

Cheers for the sub... am so pleased my tutorial has helped so many... brilliant watch, and the other day it got a GPS connection faster than my Fenix 6 Pro by about 10mins faster LML :-P

Thank you my friend :))

If you run out of bullets, it'll also act as a weapon LML :-P

Cheers bud :))

My friend it's a pleasure to help, and I'm so pleased this video has helped thousands to fully understand all it can offer.. have a few more videos on the GPR-B1000, mainly because it's my favourite watch :) Cheers!

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Waiting for more Videos Bro, Thanks a lot for responding.

@@Archangel26 Cheers buddy... there will be more for sure... that kinda rhymed hey ;)

You can snooze the video as much as you need LML :-P

WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman I watched all of it with a bag of popcorn lol

@@Mark-P Butter scotch? :))

WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Salt & Pepper!

Mark :-P Making me hungry 😋

Very welcome... can't believe nobody has done this more times over... but guess they don't want to take five days worth of filming and editing... well lets just say I'm more passionate :) Cheers for the feedback :)

Hey buddy, just seen your comment, so sorry for the delay... yes, that's how it works, and you can use track back anytime as you mentioned. Now I posted on my community page a little while ago in the summer, of a boat trip I did, using the GPR-B1000 to track us, and made point memos to mark where the locks were, so basically could aim at the right moment when someone else has opened them LML but the wrist shot shows what back track looks like, also note the line is thicker on the path you've taken, while the thin line is what's to cover ahead... for longer journeys the map gives you a good idea, but on short 5km walks, it's not really showing much. Cheers :)

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I forgot to say thanks. Better late than never 😉

I knew it was something simple... the BARO does use some power as it's continuously updating every two minutes over 24hrs so to preserve battery it'll shut off certain features... Glad I could solve your worry. Cheers for letting me know ;)

If you're a good patient hunter you might find a really good deal on the secondary market, but as it's no longer in production, prices could increase quite a bit, at the moment nothing has changed.... it's my favourite watch, not just a G-Shock, so hopefully that says enough. The GG-B100 is still a great watch, for everyday in fact, the GPR-B1000 is just a little big for everyday, but that's my experience.

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman its got everything ggb100 has plug the moon and tide stuff. thumbsup!

Hey buddy... thanks for finding me again... I will re-make that video as it's lost :( But for now here is how to... Press together form home screen 'A' 'C' and 'D' till one of the test screens is shown with 'BASIC' shown at the top. You may not get this the first time, so return to home screen to repeat as it won't work from a MODE screen for an example. At this point you can use the scroll wheel or button 'D' to scroll through the list... Press the crown and select 'BASIC' then scroll down and select 'MIP' This is the screen for the display (Memory in Pixel) now you can use button 'D' to scroll through the different display screens... keep pressing button 'C' to exit

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Got it, it worked! Thank you very very much! Looking forward for more videos. I also have the mudman gg 1000, the frogman limited edition and I ordered the Volcanic Lightning. Will the video of the frogman come online again?

@@petervannoort5158 Of course it'll work as I'm Mr Rangeman LML :-P I will need to think about re-making the Frogman video as that has been lost... I still have the pressure pot :) I will also be making a video of my rather slimmed down tool G-Shocks and some tricks I've used that may help others... just planning the intro to capture that essence of toughness :)) Cheers for the support and glad I could help :))

Thanks for the feedback my friend :)) Have done a few videos on the GPR-B1000 so checkout the playlist... even some fun mini movies with the Rangeman... cheers :)

Thank you for the feedback... glad it helped :))
