I agree 💯 with you on the "new" watches.  Give me a G Shock every day!  They're tough, have more functions than I can imagine, and just look great doing it.  While I know there's places for the smart watches, my wrist isn't one of them!

This might end up as a lot of rambling but I just have to praise the rangeman a bit more.

My wife just got a new smarsmurfch, the last one broke and since she work as a teacher she really likes to get her notifications on the wrist during class and meetings to see if it's something important that needs attention (something happened to the kids etc.) but she does not want to take up the phone because then it's "ok" for the students to do the same. I don't have this need, I work in a chemical plant where phones aren't allowed in the first place. But when she got the new one I did want one too. I was looking around but with my outdoor interests and training at the gym together with everyday life I ended up with the high end ones that cost an arm and a leg to get all the functions I wanted.

Then I do know that I might want this just for all the bells and whistles and not really needing it. So I borrowed a semi-smart watch from my doughter to try it out. I hated it! The notification function was really stressing, the step-counting was 30% off compared to my phone, the heart monitor was only interesting at the gym and that was about it. I used it for a day and then went back to my rangeman.

The rangeman have everything I need and use. Correct time, compass, barometric reading, stopwatch, countdown, alarm, date, sun rise and set time. I have had it for 6 or 7 years and never changed the battery. In the winter I put it in the window when working nights and sleeping during the time the sun is up and never have to worry about the watch not have battery.

It's tough as I don't know what, meaning I can have it on me no matter if I'm working on the car, renovation, gym, kayaking or reading in the sofa.

I just love this watch and have no desire to get something else. Or maybe a mudmaster one day bot other than that.. No

Go and get that Mudmaster!!!  Either GWG-1000 or GWG-2000 will do. 


I started off with a GWG-1000 Mudmaster. 

If there’s one thing that the Rangeman has that’s not on the Mudmaster, it’s the Sunrise & Sunset function.  Anyway, that’s readily available on any cellphone app.  The ABC sensors on G-shocks (Mudmaster, to be exact) are much much much better than what’s on my Garmin Instinct Tactical (which require constant alt resets even at home).  It’s interesting to track a typhoon come and go using the Mudmaster’s barometer….

Who knows what the future holds, I would like to get a GWG-2000 but coming of a bathroom renovation and just got a new chainsaw so I will have to save up some funds first

Very nice. Got an old ms230c here. It gets used way more than the bigger saws.

Happens more than one would think.  Batteries are easy enough to replace or have replaced.  Solar means not having to think about that for a long while tho.

They're nice ones Lisa!  I've worn them for years now.  I have 2 and they're indestructible.  Like Vic and Leatherman, the company warranty and service is first class too.

Thanks Barry!  For years I thought they looked too manly, but now I don't care if they look masculine.  I like the features and the nostalgia of them and I am wearing one now.

   Pocket calculators were banned in my high school (and college).  Of course they were wind powered in those days.  Couldn't use one unless there was a breeze to power the wheel.  I used a slide rule until my second year of college.  Carried one every day to class.  Still have one somewhere?   
    You can still buy the original looking square Casio F91W and the Data Bank watches.  Not G-Shocks for the cheap ones.  Still probably okay.  Here are some photos from W-Mart.  Best wishes.  G

They're as close to indestructible as I think can be humanly made.  I love mine!

I don't doubt it and I'm sorely tempted to buy one.  But I have the wee beastie below.  It's from the 90s.  It has been to 100' depth scuba diving.  It has had precisely three batteries.  That's pretty damn good.

I had that exact same watch in the early 90s!  I got it from my brother after the band broke and I carried it for years afterwards.  I love the OG Ironman!  I remember that the batteries lasted forever. 
I looked online to find one, but their reputation has preceded them.  They're not inexpensive anymore, but I think they're amazing!
Thanks for the memories Buggs!

   Sadly, the remodel of my local Walmart included the removal of all the Casio watches.  I finally found where they had moved the jewelry and watch counter.  Three fourths of the show cases were gone.  No Casio.  No Armitron.  No Georges.  There were a few $40 watches on some kind of closeout.  No name brand.  Attempt to make them look expensive with fluted bezels and phony gold tones.  Makes them look even cheaper. 
    Maybe the little scudder who was crawling around on the floor desperately looking through the Casios a month ago knew what he was about.  I wondered at the time if they were going to be taken out.  Surprise!  Best wishes.  G

   I know how much all of you want to know about the W-Mart Casio situation, right?  Well in spite of that I will post a couple of new photos anyway.  They dragged the displays back out of storage.  Not a whole lot of watches.  Less than 100 Casios.  I didn't count.  The sub $17 watch selection is definitely limited.  I read the orange tabs on the boxes indicate that prices are at their lowest level.  Still no G Shocks.  Best wishes.  G
