Casio Men's Watch XL Digital Quartz Resin GW 9400-1ER (clock)

Customer Review

... Then it would be pretty sure this Casio Rangeman.

High-tech features to the hilt:
- Altimeter
- Barometer
- Compass
- Thermometer (value is true only when removed clock)
- Air pressure graphics either on the display, switchable Extreme Weather Alert
- Countdown (24 hours)
To start Stopwatch (1000 hours) with one (1!) Button is pressed -
- 5 alarms, one with snooze function (alarm sound pretty quiet)
- Sunrise and sunset times
- World Time (48 cities, 31 time zones)
- Atomic Time Synchronization in 6 frequencies worldwide
- Automatic lighting via hand movement (can be disabled)
- Key can be switched off (Mute alarms come anyway)
- 40 presets for records (Alti, Baro, Compass or Time)
- Switchable Power Save mode (sleep mode at night, wakes up at light / keystroke)
- Solar-powered

And all this would certainly cry tears of joy in a super rugged G-Shock Housing, in its magnificent design Batman (fits so well with the Bat-mobile). The thing is in absolutely every respect simply cool!

Triple Sensor technology:
Casio installed in Rangeman the Triple Sensor Module v3 (latest generation) with the following advantages over the old sensor technology (eg in Casio ProTreks with model number - sensors much faster (factor 3-10)
- Economical sensors (compass now runs for 60 seconds instead of 20)
- Accurate sensors (altimeter measures individual meters, previously only +/- 5 meters)
- Altimeter / Barometer (last) temperature stabilized, ie measurement accuracy (largely) independent of clock-temperature

Time Accuracy:
By nightly synchronization with the atomic clock, the more than one second is never wrong. But because I wanted to know exactly how my new Rangeman comes with its own autonomous Quartz-time, I have the automatic atomic time synchronization testweise off. Since then I compare the RangeMan time with a second clock, which continues to make atomic time synchronization. It was now about two weeks ago. Result: Deviation previously ~ 1/3 of a second. This means an average autonomous deviation of less than one second per month (Batman would again cry).

Comfort:
The Rangeman is an edgier Klopper (~ 80 grams) and also contributes a little to (diameter ~ 53mm, height 18mm ~ but fits loosely under Batman's cape). Because of the altitude there can be problems in tight shirt collars. Although I as a man have more slender wrists, I find the clock still very comfortable to wear. The tape is flexible and the band metal holder does not slip. The strip length should be sufficient even for large wrists.

Style:
That's a matter of taste. I find extremely successful design of Rangeman. Touch and feel radiate with the matte black resin housing and the corrugated metal buttons of quality. I'm actually not a big fan of plastic, but everything fits together seamlessly. If you take the clock in hand, everything can look very sophisticated, no trace of cheap (as for example in some ProTrek models do). Those who like to surround themselves with edged technology, is the right place at the Rangeman.

Conclusion:
I have worn several Casio watches, including a ProTrek-1200th So far, no G-Shock was there, but I have the line of development "with an eye" with tracks (Mudman, Riseman, Frogman ...). I must say that the Rangeman IMHO a real exception among G-Shocks is (and among all clocks in total). It probably does not happen very often that outstanding functionality and superior design in a product can be found so beneficial together. When Rangeman succeeded. If I were responsible manager at Casio that RangeMan development team would get from me a fat bonus.

Full 6 star! (Halt No, unfortunately go yes 5)
