Casio G-Shock Rangeman Digital Mens Black Master Of G Tough Solar Watch GW9400-1
Master of G and for a good reason too!
When you call yourself the master of anything, there’s a certain expectation; that you’re better and stronger than what came before you. Well the Rangeman, part of the Master of G Series, lays out a pretty convincing argument why it is a master in its own right!
It has a triple sensor (though that’s probably because the word quadruple wouldn’t fit on the watch). These sensors are the digital compass (so you won’t get lost), altimeter (to see just how high up you are if you’re a mountain climber), barometer (for the atmospheric pressure) and thermometer (to see just how hot or cold it is).
It is also, in line with other exploring watches, cold resistant up to -10oC. So if you’re in a cold area, your watch won’t freeze over and you’ll still be able to use its functions.
Another feature it has is called “Atomic Radio Control”. This is for those of you who have trouble setting your watch, the sensor picks up a special radio signal, and sets the time automatically, correcting itself after midnight!
