I like stories about watches that are used for their intended purpose. I believe that watches can be so much more than the sum of their parts. I like to believe that they can convey the soul of the wearer and sometimes even carry their story on long after their time. The rough-wearing, unpretentious, fun personality of g shock watch 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. Highly airtight carbon case and filter protects against intrusion of mud.
The MUDMASTER watch arrives in a bright yellow with black accents and military green with black accents. 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.
In addition, the GGB100 comes loaded with tech to help you keep your bearings in the wild. Its quad sensor allows it to display real time compass headings, temperature, altitude, step count, and barometric pressure . There, you can customize the watch’s settings and use the Mission Log function to combine its altimeter data with your phone’s GPS for a detailed look at your route. Other features that will appeal to adventurous outdoorsmen include a digital compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, step counter, sunrise/sunset time display, world time, and LED illuminated dial. The G-SHOCK will also link via Bluetooth to a smartphone for enhanced functionality. Casio’s G-Shock line of affordable, durable and all-around everything-resistant watches has been going strong for the better part of half a century.
I used to hide in bed in the dark and gleefully turn the light on and off to see the time. Unlike my father I had a black plastic watch that looked like it was from the future. The GGB100 is the latest evolution of G-SHOCK’s commitment to ultra-durable timepieces. The G-Shock land series are built to prevent intrusion by sand, mud, or dust.
The new watch has a compass bearing readout to help users pinpoint the right direction and a barometer which is useful for predicting changes in weather. These readings enable the wearer to quickly assess natural conditions. Next and last mention in our review list is the tough Solar series, most suitable to wear under tough environment as the wide dialer and large Arabic numeral hour markers makes readability more accurate and easier. G Shock Mud Master GG A3DR is available in a green band color against a beige colored dial which makes this combination very unique.
Stainless steel has been used in the upper part and a shock absorbing resin is employed in the lower part to ameliorate on every impact or shock. Speaking of the barometer, it does more than just warn about the weather. The digital pressure sensor registers differences in air pressure and using the barometer position, you can see the pressure trend and the air pressure presented on the screen. The altimeter function works by the simple concept of measuring the air pressure and this calculating the height you are at. This makes it possible to use the air pressure to calculate altitude. When it comes to the altimeter, you do this by entering a reference altitude.
