Casio Mens Quartz Watch, Analog Display and Plastic Strap GW9400-3CR

Viele Funktionen, und sehr gute Verarbeitung. Alles andere wird sich in den Monaten zeigen, trage die Uhr jetzt erst seit 2 Wochen im harten Einsatzgebiet.

Cette montre a été choisie aux USA, mais achetée via Amazon, car encore moins chère que sur place, alors qu'elle vient des USA ! Fonctions très pratiques pour une personne qui fait des randonnées, de la plongée, bonne lisibilité réglable de surcroit. Seul petit bémol, elle reste en anglais...

I’ve worn this GW9400 Rangeman for 4 Solid Months, felt it was appropriate to offer an honest review. My background wearing wrist watches in the modern era would have to start in the year 2013 when I purchased an Omega Man on the Moon. I can’t remember the exact model but it did not have the self winding feature. IOW you had to wind it daily. I purchased it new and at the time it was the closest new model as to what the astronauts wore at the time of the first moon landing. I wore it close to a year and decided what I really wanted to wear was a dive watch but not just any dive watch, I bought a new six digit Rolex Submariner, from a trusted seller saving $1100 off the $7500 MSRP price in 2014. If you’ve owned and wore one then you know what a beautiful time piece it is The Submariner purchase led the way to buying and wearing Seiko diver watches and to date I now own approximately a dozen Seiko diver watches. During this accumulation period I sold the Rolex as I found it was spending too much time in a drawer. I also found that when I wore the Sub, it attracted unwanted attention and I preferred how any and all of my Seiko divers flew under the proverbial radar, even the Mac Daddy of them all, the Spring Drive Tuna So after 5 years of wearing Seiko divers Imy attention strayed and I started looking at G-Shocks. I settled on this Rangeman mainly due to the Atomic timing feature but I liked the appearance of this particular model with the dark dial over the other easier to read alternative. I was also attracted to the olive drab case and band color vs. the other models black case and band On the subject of dial view ability, the detractors that have worn this model then sold it only to buy and wear black case and band with the easier to see dial, in a way, I’d have to agree with them that the dark dial is harder to read at times but with the push of the dial light illumination feature, the dial is now more easily read. It does take a certain level of commitment to wear this watch but IMO, the trade offs owning the dark dial is very much worthwhile. Anyways, I’m all in with this watch and although I’ve only been wearing it for 4 months, I have to say I rather enjoy everything about it, and trust me, this is coming from someone whose majority of diver watches are automatics and not quartz. I have purchased a few quartz dive watches, one of which is a solar powered Citizen and to be quite honest, I’m not particularly fond of quartz watches, until I purchased this G-Shock. Now, the quartz vs. antomatic dicotomy doesn’t matter to me. In fact, my favorite feature of this watch is it’s ability to sync with the Atomic clock in Colorado On that note, I find more often than not, most nights this watch will automatically sync with the Atomic clock yet there are times it won’t. That said to sync manually is easy to do and I need to state the fact tgatbI spend a lot of time awake after midnight and well into the morning. It’s just the schedule I keep so I’m up during the time the Atomic sync takes place and it’s enjoyable to watch this action take place. The fastest I’ve seen this watch sync is two minutes. Other times it’s a lengthier process This watch has a timing feature. I’ve used it but I have other means to carry out timing when needed so it’s not a feature of this watch that is used often, and I only mention it as it is there if you want it Admittedly, all of the other features this watch offers, I don’t use, like it’s ability to record temperature. If I want to know the ambient temperature and am not near an actual thermometer then I look to my phone’s weather app, which is quite accurate Another feature this watch has thatbI don’t use it the altimeter. I spend most of my time in Florida where I live (north central). We are mostly at or near sea level. I have no need nit desire to know how many feet above sea level I am, yet this watch has that ability to inform you if you want Wearability. This is an easy watch to wear IMO. The band is quite comfortable. At this time I find no need to swap the stock band for something different yet if you want to there options to change to a NATO or ZULU fabric band As you are likely to know, this watch is waterproof and has a depth rating of several hundred feet. Nice to know if I wanted to snorkel or free dive, this watch is more than capable G-Shock watches are known for their ruggedness. I’ve banged mine into a wall once or twice with no ill consequence but I am not one to abuse my watch nor subject it to rough wear. I live and work on a farm so for day to daily tasks, it’s quite up to those challenges though built to far exceed them To wrap this review up and in closing I want to say, I’m impressed with what this watch can and will do. What it does for me is to easily tell time at a glance and that is what I wear a watch for, it’s ability to let me know what time it is yet as mentioned, will do more and look good doing it

Es justo lo que esperaba, un reloj robusto y con muchas utilidades para el deporte al aire libre, se hace algo grande al principio pero cómodo.

This watch is everything that I want it to be. I like other ABC watches but the batteries don't last long enough to NOT annoy me. I like receiving the time signal from the USA because accuracy is important for me at work in the military. This fixes all of those things by combing ABC features, adding sunset and sunrise, a member/recall feature, tough solar so that the battery dying every year or less isn't an issue, and it receives the signal from the USA so it's always accurate. I even have DST set to auto so it's the right time even when the time changes. I love that. It receives the signal without difficulty in most places on the main floor of my house near Barrie in Ontario. It's also mud resistant with special buttons designed to keep junk out of the workings. It being mud resistant is a big plus because it means the sensor is protected from things getting into it. The woods that I wear this in is usually a very sandy environment and it gets under the buttons of other watches...but not this one. I love the strap and the size. I love the negative display. Casio knows that the negative displays are not as "at a glance" visible as the positive ones. I have no trouble reading the time, or any other information. When there isn't enough light I use the backlight (solar powered batter! Use that backlight all you want!). If you don't like the negative display, Casio makes models without it. I prefer it as I like the styling of the green and black. It also has an auto backlight feature that I use when my right hand is holding something and I can't let go to press the button at night. I like the wider strap and larger buckle, as well as the metal keeper. Some people don't like that the brushed steel on the keeper can get scratched...but...it's a G shock....soo...I'm good. The buttons and screwed are also brushed so they aren't all that shiny, but the buckle is polished. None of this is really a problem for people who say it makes it less tactical because you would wear you sleeve over it if that were your goal. I do, although I don't find it necessary under most conditions with this watch. Another problem people have mentioned is that it's so big that doing something like pushups can put back on it enough with the back of your hand that it may damage it or just be very uncomfortable. When I'm working out, or riding my bicycle, wearing this watch I just loosen the strap by one notch and there is plenty of room for it to move around while I do my pushups or whatever. The buttons are also nice to push. So. Satisfying. Oh, yeah. It didn't take long to get the watch to a full charge and it has never dipped down below that, even though I do not wear it all the time and am also often indoors. On my days off I wear one of my favourite mechanical watches that don't get to come to work with me and this one sits in a drawer. Doesn't seem to make a difference. I find the readings from the sensor features to be very accurate. I especially use the compass (Accurate enough when you're lost in the woods or even just orientating yourself to follow directions or instructions in the woods), and the barometer. I find the Baro alarm (to inform you of sudden changes in pressure) to work very well. I especially like to know if a storm may be coming and this has helped a lot. It is also very light, not even just light for its size...just light. it's slightly heavier than other g shocks but that is likely due to the extra equipment inside and the metal buttons. Still light enough to wear all day in the head, swim with, run with, etc. I love it. It may be the best G shock ever made.
