Yes, just set the home city and it should work if you are within range of the transmitter. Keep in mind some parts of Sweden are not in range but Stockholm should be. The DR suffix just means the watch is designated for export outside Japan. Whether you are in Europe, North America and Japan or parts of Canada, Central America and China – once the watch has been set to the local time zone, it receives the relevant signal and shows the exact time. In many countries, it also sets summer and winter on their own.
Nathan sat on a rock while waiting for Rocky to finish up and spotted something nearby. To his delighted surprise, it was the Mudmaster, up to its eyeballs in crud and still ticking away. For most normal watches this story would have ended with a trip to the watchmaker or even to a retailer for a new purchase.
They’re show pieces that see the lid of a box more than the world. The Mudmaster has been designed to withstand the toughest of conditions. With a digital compass, barometer, altimeter, thermometer and step tracker, you’ll reach your goal even when challenges seem insurmountable. MUDMASTER – the perfect union of toughness and technical finesse.
For all the toughness of the Mudmaster GG A5, it’s not without a weakness. I asked him about nighttime use, and he told me that it’s poor. Contrary to Casio’s website and press information about the watch, the LED backlight isn’t very good. In fact, it’s nothing like Timex’s Indiglo, and very weakly lights the dial.
The smartphone link further allows the time to automatically update when changing time zones as well as adjust the timekeeping accuracy. An Activity Log feature uses the phone’s positioning and the watch’s altimeter to track activity, but it seems like most smartphones alone would be able to accomplish this. It will be more useful if future versions of the watch are able to perform these kinds of things autonomously like some smartwatches already can. The final compliment I can give the GGB100-1A is that it serves just as well being a “cool-looking watch” as it does offering useful functionality and sensors for those who need them. Few products look as good both on and off road, and this is one of them.
In addition, the timepiece’s Quad sensors – compass, thermometer, altimeter/barometer, and step tracker – further enhance its capabilities. Shock resistant, 200M water resistant, mud resistant, digital compass, thermometer, and LED blacklight. The watch has both an analog display and a digital LCS screen in order to display all of the information and data. Around the outer edge of the dial, it has abbreviations of cities for the world timer. The top right button is used for the compass and the bottom right is used for the altimeter.
Most G-SHOCK retailers will have the new GGB100-1B and GW9400-1B with price tags that read $380 and $330. You can pair this Casio G-Shock model with a smartphone via G-SHOCK connected app and Bluetooth connectivity. The Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping is there for self-adjusting and accurate hour/date display. The face of the watch is marked with large Arabian numerals as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for easy reading. The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GG-B100 is a purpose-built, bombproof watch for all outdoorsmen. CasioThe Mission Log function tracks the altitude measured by the watch and the course obtained from the smartphone’s GPS and automatically records both to an app.
