Hi guys, new owner of the forest cat reporting in.

Nice olive green "kucing hutan' bro.

Please set up your watch time zone as below:

a) SIN = Singapore
b) Your correct coordinate location (by pressing the adjust button twice to enter Longitude & Latitude Mode)
c) Press button Reverse or Forward to change the value, press mode to shift to other coordinate value
d) You may use Google search to searched your current location and enter the values respectively.
e) After done, press the Adjust button to exit.

Note: As Rangeman / Protrek PRW-3000/3100/3500 & PRG-300 has Sunrise and Sunset mode, therefore the correct coordinate is crucial to determine the correct Sunrise and Sunrise time. Even tough your watch has preset with time zone, the coordinate give is only for the main city only.

Haha...tak ada power to read minds la bro. Just lend a helping hands only. As Casio fans for nearly 3 decades, so it's familiar with it's products especially in time pieces.

Rangeman is a complex ABC watch that's why you need study the manual first before you start to use. I familiar with it's features because last time during my old school days got one Casio model has a yellow moon phase call Moon Graph, model no. is GMW-15 which has this Sunset and Sunrise features. You may see this vintage model at Youtube.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwi8YpJ0fkA

Therefore, it's similiar to Rangeman and some Protrek models but with only minor tweaks in Time Zone. The older Casio models need to key in GMT or now known as UTC (-12/+12) during setup. Now, modern model just need to set your nearest time zone city and makes some changes to your location Longitude and Latitude.

Finally, enjoy your green ranger bro.....

i got one question bro...when i press Adjust,Reverse & Mode at the same time, it shows SLR on the display & after awhile at the display it shows 8888...if i press Mode,it will show TLT & 8888 will blink...what does those intial means & its function bro?

Jam Kobe ke, itu tak penting, jangan malulah...asalkan ianya pun masih lagi 'kucing hutan' yang kita kenal. Selagi ianya masih Rangeman apa salahnya, betul tak? Pakai saja apa yang mampu, janji minat....... tongue.gif

The one you mention is call test screen. It perform as below:

a) To check your watch module it's function normally for all digit LCD segment.
b) To test your solar panel contact (SLR) whether is in good condition, that SLR is mean when your watch solar panel circuity is in good conditions.
c) To check your Tilt (TLT) sensor is normal when you activate your auto el light function and tilt the watch towards your face at 40 degree. The TLT & 8888 means your TILT sensor is working normally.

Is it worth to buy japan unit? The price different almost rm4xx... Gw-9400-1jf...

I'm plan to buy only 1 unit of gshock model so need advise from sifu... Advise me other better model also can. Also thinking gw-5000 model but the price out of my budget unless somebody can confirm that is worth of value. Tq.
*
The different is one factor only, the GW-9400J-1F is only model that use CF (Carbon Fiber Insert Band), so it's expensive and moreover this model is reserved for Japan Domestic Market only.

If you concern to get full JDM spec, you may get it if have budget. If not, you can stick back to normal GW-9400-1DR without the CF strap.

I brought d GW-A1100 from lelong.com with cheap price (RM1500++). How can I identify it's genuine product coz much more cheaper from G Factory boutique?
*
It's genuine bro and RM 1.5K+ is a good bargain already.

To identify your product is simple:

a) Press 'mode' button will cycle the bottom middle dial as following:

ii) Stopwatch Mode (All three hands will parking at 12 o'clock), press the "Comp" button to start. To do a flyback calculation, while the stopwatch is running, press the "Flyback" button to force the all the hands to returned back to 12 o'clock and start all over again. To stop and reset, press the "Comp" again. Later press "Flyback" button again to reset it back.
iii) Countdown Timer (Press the "Comp" to start/stop, press "Flyback/Reset" to reset). The configure your desire countdown time, while in timer mode, twist and turn the crown, later pull it out. You will hear a 'beep' sound. Later just turn the crown reverse or forward to set your desire time. Limit up 60 minute only. After done, press and push in your crown and follow to notch mark to secure it.
iv) Alarm (Press "Comp" to active your alarm). If want set your alarm time, twist, turn and pull out your crown, a beep sound to confirm is setting mode. Turn your crown reverse or forward to set your time. Note: Due to this is 24 hour alarm, please take note on your 24 hour hand dial on the middle of the watch face.

Tip: If you lost on any modes, just press and hold the Mode button for 2 seconds and will return automatically to time keeping mode.

More details you can refer your watch manual. Keep it handy.

GD-350. Previously I was asking in this thread but guess my question got flooded and no one answered/noticed. Had to use my detective skills and browse online. Then only managed to find out the model number.

Then only started hunting for it.

Good luck!

Hi BigFoot-X,

The GD-350 series is one of the best module Casio ever made to date after the G-7700/7710.

It's has 100 full city name for world time, a 1,000 hours stopwatch, vibration features and short cut to start the timer in time keeping mode.

It's not because no one answer, due it's 'cold' model compares to DW-6900 / GA-110 series.

Don't worry about it, I'm also a fan of this GD-350 which cause me hit the 3 models at once: GD-350-1, GD-3580-8 & GD-350-1B.

cheers,

The GD-350 series has been officially announced back in February 2013. Hopefully Casio will release more color flavor for this model such khaki green and navy blue....

Hi bro ridzuan,

The DW-6900-1VDR is actually is our third 'nenek moyang' after the DW-5000 series and DW-6600 series.

Your DW-6900-1VDR is made from 1995/1996 to date. There are actually 2 different modules to take note:

a) DW-6900-1JF/1DR/1VDR using modul 1289 is manufactured from 1995 to November 2011. (This module also include on the older collab model such KiksTyo, BAPAE, One Piece which carry the model code DW-6900 or DW-6900FS which on Made In Japan with plant code "Japan Y'

Other standard model including Men In Series is Made In Thailand or China.

Auto calendar is from 1995 to 2039 only.

b) DW-6900-1JF/1DR/1VDR (revision 1) this same model but using newer modul 3230 which amend the watch calendar from year 2000 to 2099. This model is also Made In Japan for FS code, whilst standard & general model is made in either Thailand or China.

So your DW-6900-1VDR is fall on new auto calendar module and functions for both generations remained the same as usual.

eh bro, dumb question from me again

since there's WR rating on the g-shocks, changing battery myself obviously i don't know how to ensure its still water resistant is still intact... how about if change at shops? they also wont check right?
*
Hi kenji,

Changing battery on g-shock is easy. You can refer youtube for some good excellent tutorial.

Example for your GD-350 series. It using CR2032 lithium battery, which can find any 7 eleven kiosk or petrol stattions.

You have to prepare some as below:
a) watch repair tools such as Philips head precision screw,
b) a hand blower to blow dust from watch back case,
c) a small paste of white clear grease to lube your rubber gasket after changing the battery.
d) a sharp tiny tweezers (stainless steel & plastic)

To change you watch battery here is the simple step. (Example: For your GD-350)

a) Use philips #1 precision screw driver to removed your watch back 'wings'
b) After that you can remove the four machine screw from the watch case.
c) Please kept all screw in one place prevent on of them is missing during the process.
d) Using your plastic tweezers to removed your watch back cover.
e) After that you can see a rubber pad and plastic circular ring on your watch module. Remove them carefully and kept it in safe place.
d) Now you can see your watch battery. (Please do not lost the tiny spring for the watch, as it works as beep beep sound of your watch.
e) Find your watch battery clip location and use the sharp edge stainless steel tweezer tip to unlock the clip. (Don't use to much force on it, just un-clip it and your battery will pop up.
f) Now use your plastic tweezers to removed the old battery and replaced the fresh one.
g) After that, re-clip battery holder to it place. Use your sharp tip tweezers until you hear a 'click' sound.
h) Now you need jump start your watch module memory by performing an AC = All Clear reset procedure.
i) Find a word 'AC' and a brass contact point on module. Normally is nearby the battery holder.
j) Now use your stainless sharp tip tweezers one tip to the AC brass contact hole and other tip to your batter (+) mark up to 2 to 3 seconds. Lift up your watch (do not flip) to see whether your watch is showing 12:00 a.m, 1st January.
k) If o.k you are done. Just re-install back your rubber pad, plastic ring (please install back according to it's original state). Check your gasket rubber or o ring. If dry, you may lube it with grease. Once done, your may put back watch case. Screw back your watch case using the four screws by axis way or x way to make your watch gasket seated on even pressure to maintain water proof. Do not over tighten the screw as it can destroy the screw thread on the watch.
l) Finally, you can re-fit back your watch 'wings' and you are done.

Hi bro,

The tiny spring you can order direct from USA call Pacparts Inc.

Link: http://www.pacparts.com/model.cfm

Just enter your watch models and your part list will shown.

Please note: Pacparts last time got sold also Casio watch module now no longer already because Casio Japan nak control this item already.

For local, ya only Marco have as they are AD in Malaysia. However, you need pre-order first....lead time is around 2 months.

That's why be extra careful when you changing your watch battery (especially the old vintage model) which their spring easy to fall off.

Newer improved module such the DW-6900 which use the 3230 module, the tiny spring got 'hook' on it so not easy to fall off or out from the module.

Hello Guys, I have used search function to find an info about mudmaster but nothing so far answer my concern.

why is there so much BIG different discount for GWG 1000GB that sold in G-Factory or other official shop, retail price RM3,179 vs. the one sold online which retail price within RM2,200.

is it Fake or different model?

Please enlighten me. Thank you guys
*
G-Factory is MARCO Corp Malaysia official kioks shop, that why their price is blood sucker. You can search below lelong sites such as jam corner or city time sarawak, price is cheaper.

Both Mudmaster is original, just need to know who want to gain much profit.

If you consider Mudmaster is too expensive, you can consider cheaper Protrek PRW-6000 series which sharing most of the Mudmaster functions and features except loosing the G-Shock Shock Absorbing Structure.

Hi ise,

No worry.

City Time i deal before with them. Watch are by them is genuine from Casio Europe. So buy with peace of mind.

RM 2200 is good deal already, last time Gpeople sell even cheaper at 1950 including shipping, now seldom in stock already.

Thanks for the info. Will try to pay a visit.
Huge size? I thought all G-shock also in the same category of size.

BTW can I say that:

1) Atomic sync by radio signal (WaveCeptor in Casio terminology) is useless in Malaysia because we cannot receive any radio signal here.
2) GPS Hybrid WaveCeptor will be useful in Malaysia because albeit radio signal cannot be received, GPS signal still can be received here and so time sync feature still usable here.

Have been struggling in choosing between model with Waveceptor, or with GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor, or have nothing at all. I am not sure how usable these features are in Malaysia.
*
Actually in Malaysia it already has it's own atomic clock at SIRIM Shah Alam. The problem is that our on atomic clock does not follow the 6th frequency (China atomic signal) to 'tuned' according the Casio specs. Not only Casio, Seiko & Citizen is also not compatible with with SIRIM atomic tower it due cost of maintenance these atomic clock tower is expensive. More over, watch maker who need to use these atomic need to pay the royalty or licensing to obtain those frequency.

A good quartz watch has a plus/minus accuracy at 15 seconds a month is norm. I my self have a GW-5000-1JF that's time accurate in 1 to 2 seconds a months, even unable to sync for atomic signal. That's a good accuracy.

For GPS Hybrid is actually has both M6/GPS. If you live near the atomic clock tower coverage, than your GPS with disable automatically. The same case in countries that don't follow or have the M6, the GPS will kick in. But you must have open space without any objects at your surrounding area to receive the signal.
