The great outdoors can be a cruel and unforgiving
place at times. Fortunately, with the right gear, any manner of desert
landscapes, muddy jungles, frigid mountain terrain or wild wilderness can
become a bit less hostile. Case-in-point, G-Shock’s newest addition to the
Master of G line-up, the Rangeman GPRB1000 watch.
What’s truly special about the new member to the
G-Shock family isn’t just a highly rugged build complete with shock, mud and
water resistance, but its advanced survival features. Specifically, we’re
talking GPS signal reception where location information is downloaded from GPS
satellites to track your movements and show the bearing to your destination.
Logged data for your route is also automatically stored in memory while a
dedicated app can be used to set planned route details and display them on the
watch as well. The new solar-powered Rangeman also boasts a Backtrack Function
and Point Memory Function in addition to Triple Sensor Technology (a compass,
thermometer and depth sensor to be exact), Bluetooth communication to
facilitate multi-device functionality and 200 meters of water resistance keeps
things ticking in even the wettest of environments.
Truly a survival-tough
watch for the serious outdoorsman. Available now for US$ 800.
