Like the Frogman, the Rangeman GW-9400 has become another signature model for Love The Sea And The Earth limited editions, and it is a regular canvas for animal-inspired Earthwatch collaborations to promote environmental awareness. February 2019 already saw the release of the GW-9404KJ-3JR Earthwatch collab inspired by the kakapo parrot. November will see the release of the G-Shock Rangeman GW-9405KJ-5JR, which is inspired by the okapi, also known on the forest giraffe.
The endangered okapi is native to Central Africa and has a brown body with a reddish or orange-tinged head and zebra-like striped legs. The watch reflects these colors with a brown case with orange accents and a striped band. The watch also has an Earthwatch logo on the EL backlight and a Love The Sea And The Earth engraved case back, and it comes in a special striped box.
The Rangeman is one of the most popular G-Shock models and is a versatile survival watch featuring Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 auto-adjusting radio timekeeping, and the Triple Sensor (with altimeter-barometer, compass, and thermometer).
The GW-9405KJ-5JR is a November 2019 release in Japan with a list price of 56,000 JPY.

The Rangeman…a very good and helpful watch!!! I have the GW-9400 (black). Also nice of course are the different colors and themes.
I hope Casio will make a Rangeman with GPS and only tough solar. Casio is capable to do this in the near future. It will be a way that they just have to go….making survivalwatches which will sell, because of the fantastic technique combined with a better tough solar!!! A big respect for Casio!!!
You mean Rangeman GPR-B1000? It’s Rangeman with GPS and tough solar also usb charging. However, they need to improve it…give it their first try, I’ll give a thumbs up…perhaps they would need to study on Garmin or Suunto…
Arisham…The Rangeman GPR-B1000 is an awesome watch!!! So much respect for Casio! I hope they will improve the Rangeman further and make a watch which is totally independent and doesn’t need an usb charger! It is a way they have to go!!!
