Casio G
His wrist is smaller than mine, probably by an inch, and it looks big on me. It’s almost silly when you’re sitting around drinking beer, but when the helmet and gloves go on, it looks right at home. I couldn’t find the specs on the crystal, but the bulky bezel does help protect it from the beating of limbs or rocks that might meet its surface. The crystal on this watch had a few marks on it signifying its service to the wearer and it wears them like a badge of honor. Its shiny surface looked as though it had been run across a belt sander on more than one occasion.
Multiple gaskets are used on the pipes that guide buttons and shafts, which keeps mud out. In addition, twin sensor capabilities provide instant access to direction and temperature information when needed under tough conditions. The dial of the dual-display watch is marked with large Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for easy reading.
This isn’t out of character for a G-Shock, but the Tough Solar tech does show up in G-Shocks at this price range. However, it’s left out of a watch that is marketed to spend its life outside and will force you to change them roughly every 2 years. Like baby g shock most G-Shocks, the Mudmaster comes will all the standard features, a stopwatch feature, 5 alarms (with snooze!) and 31 world times. Maybe even the extreme sports guys wouldn’t use these features, but they’re there and fun to use in daily life.
The illumination is not the best I’ve seen because the hands don’t have any kind of paint that glows in the dark only a backlight that kind of illuminates the whole screen but not enough for very dark situations. A new bezel structure lets you visually check whether the bezel has been screwed in adequately. This watch has sooo many features and it fits just like my other watch, just note that this watch is big.
The Maharishi x G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-1000MH-1A is the first GWG-1000-based collaboration watch. This late-2016 limited edition model is made in baby g shock partnership with London clothing store Maharishi. The bands feature a unique “British Bonsai Forest” pattern that resembles digital camouflage.
For those on the road, the Quad sensors- compass, thermometer, altimeter/barometer, and step tracker – are other useful tools. The watch features a very bright illumination technology „Super-Illuminator” as Casio calls it, that can be activated with the touch of a button. The luminous coating on the hands and hour markers are very bright and will offer baby g shock great readiness even in very dark environments. Casio have added a new high-end model to their G-Shock family, the great looking GWG-1000 Mudmaster. As with other G-Shock models the Mudmaster is shock-resistan, but is also constructed to resist mud and vibration so that it can be useful in a variety of harsh land environments, like the desert or mud.
I sincerely prefer the mineral glass over the sapphire crystal because of the way it behaves over time but that’s more of a personal opinion. The stainless steel resin case is of incredibly good quality and trust me it can be reliable for lots of years from the moment you buy it. The band material is a good-feeling resin that Casio pretty much used in all G-Shock with some exception, so nothing new here. The face of the watch is marked with large Arabian numerals as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for easy reading. The face is illuminated by a double LED light and protected by a sapphire crystal to ensure high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable.
This is the latest new addition to the MASTER OF G MUDMASTER Series. A cylindrical guard structure is adopted for all the buttons, and the cylindrical button shafts are fitted with gasket linings. This structure not only protects the buttons against intrusion by dust and mud, but it also helps to alleviate shocks. The crown is also protected by a highly airtight screw-lock structure. Gaskets are installed at points where the crown meets the surface of the case to assure superior resistance to dust and mud. The latest MUDMASTER’s were designed with several new features, including location and activity-tracking technology.
The bezels on all GWG-1000 models are made of resin, so they would not be ion plated. With the Multi-Band 6 feature the watch can receive the signals from all six transmitters in the five different countries. 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.
From my experience G-Shocks are more actual than ever and are continuing to be a great choice for everyone that wants a tough watch with tons of functionalities. Awesome piece of technology and overall exceptional looks and ruggedness! Love the features, it’s, you have several unique options at the push of a button.
