G-SHOCK (CASIO labourers - Rangeman GPR-H1000

Can't speak to the GBDH2000, but I have a GPRH1000 and tried a DWH5600MB briefly before returning it and going back to the GPR. While the 5600 is a very attractive watch, the menu system is convoluted and (for me) was a pain to operate via the small pushers. I also have a hard time reading the text with 50 yo eyes. It's also limited to only 3 exercises if I recall correctly. So, for me it was too limited and didn't like it (as much as I really wanted to). Especially for the price tag With my GPR, I have a few more activities available in the watch for tracking (although mainly a runner). But the bigger display and much larger pusher (5 in all) make the menu system much more enjoyable and the extra features on the watch (barometer, compass, and thermometer) are helpful when deciding to go for a run and the weather looks sketchy. The only downsides of this watch are styling and size. It looks like it's from a Halo cosplay and it is a HUGE watch, so say goodbye to subtlety with this beast.

I have a GPRH1000 that I use for tracking my walks/runs and it's been great! I don't use Strava, so I can't comment on that but the Casio watches app gives a good breakdown of my runs with HR plots, elevation changes, time in HR zones, and plots the run on a map. The downside of this particular watch is that it is HUGE and while it's surprisingly comfortable for its size, it definitely makes a statement.

I use a Casio G-Shock GPR-H1000 Rangeman. It has built-in GPS and heart rate tracking, and is pretty accurate. Plus, it's basically indestructible, which can't be said about many other fitness trackers out there. It's not perfect, but it does what I need.

The problem is the Rangeman is basically inferior in every way compared the Instinct 3. Don’t get me wrong I love a Rangeman but it’s time Casio upped their game.

GPR-H1000. Haven't used it with Strava a lot, but it's been working pretty well for me. IIRC it uses Polar technology for HR. Also, it's as amazing looking watch. https://preview.redd.it/ip1zufes0y9f1.png?width=765&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ea3089cbd18353b6d62d7b4be9939410d044432

I have both the “big Rangeman” and the DW-H5600. The Rangeman has a more complete feature set for fitness. It also costs a good deal more - but if you like the sensors and such, you’ll like it, and you’d better get used to BIG watches. But many more feature-full fitness watches aren’t exactly small, so many it’s something that won’t bother you. It’s GPS-equipped but doesn’t “map out” your path until you sync it with a phone. Some find it annoying to need the phone at all, but some may find it liberating to not need the phone on the run or have to squint at a map on your wrist. The phone link also makes navigating the settings and features a bit simpler. The GPS is one of three ways it executes time sync as well, the other two being Multi Band 6 and Bluetooth. It’s not a Garmin, and it’s not an Apple Watch. And some people like that about it. I think if it as a “semi-smart” watch. You can run phone notifications through the watch if you want, but you can turn it off as well.

Agree. Get a g-shock with step counter and solar.

I use a casio gshock smart watch to track my workouts. It's quite banged up now but it's designed to take hits.
