Pulled The Trigger : Casio G-Shock Rangeman Wave-Ceptor

Readers would remember that I previously had 2 Casio G-Shock Riseman (one normal and one with Wave-Ceptor). The Riseman was part of Casio's top-of-the-range Master of G series; and had in-built sensors to measure weather (barometer) and altitude (altimeter). Wave-Ceptor was another premium technology that enabled the watch to self-adjust its time anywhere in the world, as it could synchronise with the atomic clock signals from any of the 6 locations located at China, Japan, Germany, England, and USA. I have since flipped off both the Risemen.

At one point in time, I was into military-themed G-Shock and bought into the Camo range. I have since flipped off such Camo ones too.

I was reading some police product tests, and came across an article by Sergeant George with regards to the Casio G-Shock Rangeman. When I bought into the Riseman, this model was already available but on the costly side at circa RM2,000 (model with Wave-Ceptor technology). Further reading online sources revealed that the Rangeman was also available in military green colour (it was only in black previously), and still fully-equipped with its in-built sensors including barometer, altimeter, thermometer, and compass. This was indeed one bad-ass Master of G watch.

I thought about and decided to pull the trigger. Would now be waiting for 2 weeks for its delivery from Australia, and would conduct a review when it arrives in Malaysia.
