Mudmaster G
“Carbon Core Guard” also sounds more premium than “plastic,” but G-Shock haters should remember sometimes that plastics have some incredibly useful durability properties . The carbon case is visible from the side, but what is seen from the front is the carbon fiber-patterned bezel, which is also lightweight but mostly serves to highlight the watch’s new carbon focus. The button at 6 o’clock activates a surprisingly bright LED dial illuminator.
In the age of modern touch screen smartwatches, the Casio GWG-1000 is a great alternative for those looking for a rugged timepiece equipped with basic tech features. And the best part, you don’t need to worry about carrying a charger as exposing the watch to the sun keeps the battery going. Overall, GWD-1000 focuses on offering basic information by integrating traditional sensors such as Compass, Altimeter, Barometer and a Thermometer. I don’t understand why Casio has skipped the sunrise, sunset or moon information, which you can find in some affordable G-Shock watches like G-SHOCK GULFMAN, GW-9110, etc. The timepiece features Multiband 6, which automatically adjusts time settings based on reception of Casio’s radio towers located in Japan, China, United States, England, and Germany.
Its ports and button openings are designed airtight with redundant o-ring seals on the pushers to ensure dust and mud resistance. The Mudmaster’s caseback is dual-layered to protect its internals, while a triple-layered carbon fiber-inserted bezel adds even more durability to its display. To say that this watch is shockproof would be an understatement—all of those features add up to 200 meters of resistance and one of the toughest timepieces you can put on your wrist.
And what’s true for a rifle, four-wheel-drive truck, or a duck decoy is also true for a watch. The rough-wearing, unpretentious, fun personality of G-Shock watches could hardly be better experienced than by testing one while riding ATVs around the muddy woods in New Jersey. That is how the brand introduced the new Mudmaster GGB100 to several New York-based journalists one recent Wednesday.
Another factor that plays into its poor legibility is that this particular Mudmaster uses a negative display for the digital readout. It’s hard to use any of the functions during the day much less the night. Like the Yeti SP5C Bike, the Casio is made for extreme conditions and abuse. 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.
Both the markers and hands have luminescence to make the analog clock legible even in low-lit conditions. Everyone who sees the Mudmaster remarks first on its size — there’s no getting around that it’s just plain big — but if you try it on you’re just as likely to remark on its comfort. Yes, the case is a whopping 53.1mm wide and 19.3mm thick, but like just about all G-Shock watches, it’s ergonomically curved and light on the wrist at just 92g. For a price of $350 retail, the Mudmaster GGB100 offers a healthy dose of the G-Shock brand personality and experience, a ton of functionality, and genuinely tough watch you don’t need to worry about.
