It takes its name from the Mud Resist system of gaskets in the pipes that keep mud and dust out of the watch. While mundane to some, this feature would be paramount to someone who might be on a trail during or after a rain. If you’re not going over the bars, you’ll be hauling your bike at some point, loading into your Honda Element, or making repairs to it. All these things are typically avoided by people in the watch community while wearing a watch. You’re going to encounter dirt or mud in this sport, and Lord knows you might want to sell a watch down the road which is nearly impossible if it’s beaten all to hell.
Since I stopped wearing them under shower, I just wipe them with my bath towel before going to sleep when I take my watch off, so you clean the sweat and the dust of the day and it’s clean when you put it on in the morning. The two G’s I bought since I do that are just like brand new after a full year. Ok so this is a repost since the original didn’t have a picture. It looks like calcium buildup on the resin band, buttons and outer edges of the glass.
Maybe even the extreme sports guys wouldn’t use these features, but they’re there and fun to use in daily life. In this hobby, it’s a rare occasion to see photos or articles about watches that aren’t pristine or new. It’s also very rare to meet someone who likes watches but has kept it to a minimum of 2 or 3 pieces. Almost every photo that rolls across our Instagram contains a watch in pristine condition; works of art meant to be adored by collectors and enthusiasts.
Should you not remember – or want to configure things via your phone – that’s where the G-Shock app comes in handy. Casio has done a good job with making configuration of the watches easy via these apps . This is particularly beneficial when you have a watch that is primarily analog display, as we have here. The temperature mode is selected by pressing the left lower button until the small hand in the subdial is at the Temp position. The temperature sensor measures the outside temperature between -10 and +60 degrees Celsius . But… The most accurate measurement on outside temperature I got, not wearing the watch.

In 1983, the DW-5000C was launched, with the now-iconic square case shape that was determined to be the best for impact resistance and shock absorption. Over the years, G-SHOCK has taken many forms and comes in a variety of sizes, but the original principle of a tough exterior shell that protects the more fragile elements suspended within has remained a constant. The band surface is processed to resemble a cloth texture, and the hour and minute hands are shaped with points that make them resemble warning markers. A new bezel structure lets you visually check whether the bezel has been screwed in adequately. In addition, Triple Sensor Version 3 capabilities provide instant access to direction, barometric pressure, and temperature information when needed under tough conditions. This special-edition MUDMASTER timepiece arrives with new technical features as well for location and activity-tracking technology.
Casio’s work on contrast as a concept on analog dials is getting better and better each year, and the brand is still producing designs that are visually engaging and detailed. I do, however, want to see Casio work with better luminant in the future. They probably don’t put too much stock in it since this and all other G-Shock watches have a bright white LED backlight for the dial. I love the dedicated pushers for things such as the compass. While a lot of digital watches like to boast tons of features, none of those features really matter unless the timepiece’s user interface makes using those tools accessible.
In addition, this includes a watch that stops working, or does not function the way it should. We do not offer a warranty on damage that results due to every day wear and tear. Our warranty does not cover broken crystals , dents, scratches, any cosmetic damage or breakage that occurs after the watch is received. The addition of a Walmart Protection Plan adds extra protection from the date of purchase.
