The Mudmaster lineup is designed and engineered for those who work in extreme environments scattered with rubble, dirt, and debris. Boasting a tough and rugged structure, the Mudmaster series puts functions that support high-level performance at your fingertips. The bluetooth smartphone link, however, makes a lot of sense and genuinely enhances the user experience in several ways. Even basic Casio watches require a little learning, but all the functionality offered in these more feature-packed models can be overwhelming to use with only the few buttons available on the watch itself. From within the G-Shock Connected application, you can control various settings and displays, set alarms and timers, and customize the watch’s modes.
The compass incorporated into this watch is obviously useful for an outdoor watch. The compass is, as mentioned, accessed by using the top right button. Once the compass is activated, you can read the bearing via the screen and the north indicated with the second hand.
The face is illuminated by a double LED light and protected by a sapphire crystal to ensure high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable. G-SHOCK’s new GGB100BA-1Awas built from a “Never Give Up” philosophy that makes it perfectly equipped to support the Armed Forces- both on and off-duty – all over the world. G-SHOCK is already the watch of choice for many in the Armed Forces around the world and this limited-edition release further cements the partnership as an official supplier to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence. The seller will only receive payout once you have the watch in your hands.
There are some cases where they do not charge much of a premium. If the rest of the model name is the same, it’s the same watch, but it is just meant to be sold in Japan. If you buy it outside of Japan, it probably won’t include a warranty. I don’t think the year it is sold makes much a difference.
From the Casio G-Shock site, the official retail price for GWG-1000 series between $600 – $850 USD . That might seem like a lot for a watch, but when you look at what the GWG-1000 does and you feel OK about paying a little more than the average watch cost, it suddenly becomes very, very reasonable. Then again, it is important that you understand that GWG-1000 series is one of the largest G-Shock watches; case size and thickness depth . If you are looking for slick watch on the thinner size this is probably not your choice. It seems that Casio keeps it up very well by releasing all these great G-Shocks to fulfill the customers requirements. Some may say that the future is for the smart watches but I strongly disagree with that.
