The GW-9400 Rangeman is the quintessential modern Casio G-Shock watch and is up there with the Frogman as one of the most desirable all-digital G-Shock watches. The Rangeman made its debut in 2013 and has since become the most popular model in the professional Master of G lineup.
With its Tough Solar-powered rechargeable battery, Multi-Band 6 radio wave timekeeping, direct-access Triple Sensor Version 3 (with digital compass, thermometer, and altimeter/barometer), and a 40-record sensor memory, the Rangeman is one of the best watches available for all outdoor activities and is an excellent survival watch. The feature-rich G-Shock also has mud resistance, low temperature resistance and sunrise and sunset data. It also has common G-Shock features like world time (48 cities + UTC), 5 daily alarms, stopwatch, and countdown timer. Its many useful features and affordable price makes it a popular watch with outdoorsmen and sportsmen of all types.
Advantages: More sensors and features than standard G-Shock models. Large and easy-to-press buttons. Tough Solar power and Multi-Band 6 auto time adjustment provide maintenance-free operation.
Disadvantages: Wears a bit large and heavy (55.2 × 53.5 × 18.2 mm, 82 grams) compared to other digital G-Shock watches.
Alternatives: Other G-Shock watches with similar functionality include the Mudmaster GWG-1000 with Triple Sensor (but no sunrise/sunset time) and Gulfmaster GWN-1000. Also, most Pro Trek watches also have Tough Solar power and the Triple Sensor, but lack the heavy duty shock resistance of a G-Shock.
In addition to being one of the most functional and practical G-Shock watches, the limited edition models are highly coveted as collector timepieces, and the Rangeman is now one of the limited edition base models of choice. Here is a list of every Rangeman model produced starting with the newest release and including special editions and Japanese domestic market (JDM) releases.
