When you press the top right button you get the seconds hand now pointing north for you AND a digital readout in bearing degrees for the direction you are currently facing. You can also change this readout to a NSEW readout rather than a specific bearing. The watch also allows you to drop a virtual pin on a location and then have the g shock protection watch indicate direction for you to return to that location later. The numbers at 12,3,6 and 9 are easily legible and there is a digital display at the 6 position giving you a digital clock as well as the analogue hands. Just be aware that around 6pm and 6am the digital part is hard to read as the sword hour hand passes over it.
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. My one regret about the watch is that Casio was not able to integrate solar charging. That means you’ll need to change the battery every two years in the module 5594 in-house made Casio movement. First of all, the Bluetooth connectivity changes the power drain dynamic of a watch, and it can’t always be reliably recharged via light.
Certainly, we see Casio continuing its iterative approach to product improvement by building on what they have done in the past — but having said that, this G-Shock is radically different from models made just a few years ago. New features, such as Casio’s use of carbon material, as well as the new case construction, mean that the look and feel of the GG-B100 are worth experiencing even if the model isn’t right for you. Casio did an excellent job, and I find myself liking the GG-B100 as a product as much as I did the G-Shock GW9400 Rangeman. The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GG-B100 is a purpose-built, bombproof watch for all outdoorsmen.
It’s a muddy and somewhat swampy part of the trail and it hadn’t been made any better by the rain. 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.
Naturally, since it is all about performance, it is also packed with a bunch of functions and features. G-SHOCK watches stand out not just with their tough design, but also with their baby g shock technical refinements. From environmentally friendly solar technology and Bluetooth® through to GPS and radio technology — G-SHOCK always features state-of-the-art technology.
G-SHOCK’s “Master of G” series are some of the hardest-wearing, most feature-packed watches that the brand has to offer. The Mudmaster is designed and engineered to withstand anything that the roughest of wilderness situations can throw at it. Composed of high-rigidity carbon material, the Mudmaster takes “shock resistant” to the next level. In the rare event that a standard G-SHOCK isn’t enough, the carbon and metal Mudmaster is surely ready for action. The twin sensor collection complies of 3 different models with similar advanced specifications but a different color range for you to select your favorite one. The height of the resin layer is thick and it is followed by a brushed stainless steel layer that’s highlighted with the same stainless steel on top which runs adjacent to the buttons.
Built for use on land, they’re specialised for use in especially sandy, dusty or rubble-strewn environments. The GWG-2000 is the first to use this special type of carbon fiber-reinforced resin, which Casio says has a greater tensile strength than stainless steel, while being lighter. In fact it’s so strong yet light so as to typically be found in famously strong yet lightweight contraptions such as aircraft and racing cars. Mud Resist construction helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge. The step tracker is simple — it shows steps and calorie burn — and can be viewed either on the app, or by pressing a button on the watch.
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.
