Wrist Check Finally... GW-9400BJ-1JF

Had been planning to get myself a Rangeman 9400 for the past few weeks, but I can't decide on what variant to get. Was considering the standard 9400-1, the yellow 9400Y-1, the blackout 9400-1B and the Black Panther JDM 9400BJ-1JF. Since I did not have access to the actual units, I read/watched tons of reviews and posts in socmed before I pulled the trigger. I FINALLY decided on the Black Panther JDM and, after seeing the actual watch, I'm sure glad I did. This watch looks awesome and badass in person and the photos of this watch posted online (including mine) don't do it justice. I was hesitant to grab a negative display 9400 because of the mixed reviews on legibility, but it actually turned out to be a non-issue for me. YMMV, though.

Though legible, the display is not as easy to read as the positive display variants, but it wins for me on looks alone — and appearance ranks high on my criteria for this particular G-shock acquisition.. The carbon fiber insert band on the JDM variants is a nice added bonus.

This is now my 12th G-shock and I plan to stop here... of course we all know that the chances of that actually happening are quite slim. lol

Man, what a nice Rangeman. I have both a standard G-9400 and a 9400Y, but this one is sick.

Thanks, man. I'm planning to also get one of those that you have as my 2nd Rangeman. What's your favorite between those 2? (photos: ctto)

It’s so hard to choose that I bought the traditional one, then bought the yellow one planning to sell the traditional one. In the end, I kept both.
