Neo-brite is a proprietary technology from Casio that uses a high-visibility luminous paint for the indexes and hands. Finally, the smart crown access is an intelligently designed feature that helps a lot with high-speed adjustments. Speaking of build quality, this is as you’d expect from a G-Shock, and by this I mean massive. It has a big window, a solid resin case and a band that feels good in the hand, closing with a metal buckle clasp. The readability of the watch is a big plus having an easy to read time function for indoor/outdoor, also the contrast between the yellow marks and the black background being a good choice made for this model.
The backlight illuminates the entire screen, giving you perfect visibility. The front backlight button adds extra accessibility for use in the darkness. Same as with the Rangeman above, you need to calibrate your compass for it to work properly. The thermometer will pick up body heat, so keep the watch off your wrist for ~10min before measuring temperature. When the compass is not in use, it works as a seconds counter. So you’ll have a digital seconds hand in that small circle on the upper left.
However, Casio warns that repeatedly pushing the illumination button will drain the battery faster. This being a solar-powered watch, it takes some attention from the wearer to keep it energized. While good enough for most dark conditions, this watch is at its best outside in full daylight (you wouldn’t be surfing in the sea at night time anyway, would you?). It’s got a 1/100 second stopwatch with several modes and a measuring capacity of 999 hours, direct countdown timer button, 35 time zones including 100 cities with city name display, vibration alarm.
Casio is a watch manufacturer that made the G-Shock series of tough watches starting from a dream. The G-Shock G9000-1V, nicknamed the “Mudman”, has got its name from its enhanced resistance to liquid infiltrations. So it’s not just resistant to mud, but to any fluid, and that’s the main reason it’s preferred by people working in Emergency.
GPR-B1000-1JR comes with a low-temperature (-20°C, -4°F) scratch-proof sapphire crystal LCD display. The band is reinforced with a carbon fiber insert, which makes it basically indestructible. Like the original Rangeman, this model is also extra resistant to mud and dust.
G-SHOCK’s are considered the most durable, toughest and reliable watches by outdoor aficionados. All our watches come with outstanding water resistant technology and are built to withstand extreme condition. A few models like the new Rangeman offer GPS and Bluetooth capability but it drastically affects battery life and you still need a smartphone pair with it for full functionality.
GermanyWatches tune to the 77.5 kHz low frequency time signal radio station DCF77 at Mainflingen. ChinaWatches tune to the 68.5 kHz signal from BPC at Shangqiu. This is the newest additional signal; older multi-band 5 watches will not be able to connect to this signal, and must be upgraded to a newer multi-band 6 watch in order to synchronise from there. New additions to the G-SHOCK MOVE sports lineup with a step counter and phone linking.
That said, several variations of G-Shock can be quite expensive due to the state-of-the-art features which made them a popular choice within the market. Hands-Free Backlight – Common feature, especially on solar models. When turned on, you can toggle the backlight with the flick of your wrist, without having to press buttons. Tough Solar – Or in other words – a solar rechargeable battery. Solar batteries in G-Shocks can run for 9 months on a full charge without further light exposure. Daylight is enough to keep the watch fully charged, you don’t need direct sunlight.
Well, or not… If you can decide it’s worth the price, this watch won’t leave you still wanting a certain feature from a different watch, because it has almost every function you would ever need. From atomic timekeeping to solar self-fueling and the plethora of G-Shock functions, the MRG G-1000 certainly meets the high demands. The analog-digital display offers a rather clean view and it is readable in most situations due to the double illumination, with a backlight and luminous index hands and markers. A good feature is the cascading countdown timer that alternates between two defined intervals. The watch also has 4 daily alarms and 1 snooze; 1/100th-second stopwatch; 12/24 hr formats; full auto EL Backlight with afterglow, very good in the dark.
Best of all, although it’s a large watch at 51mm, it only weighs 2.6 ounces. The reason why so many entrepreneurs create a business, is because they found a need for it in the market. In 1981 Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe accidentally dropped and broke a pocket watch given to him by his g shock watch father. He wanted to create a watch that would withstand the test of time with a long battery life, wouldn’t break if it was dropped, and be water resistant. This was no easy task and in April of 1983 the first G-SHOCK watch was released to the public with all those features.
