Casio is getting better and better about this, and it honestly makes wearing the latest technically interesting G-Shock watches all the more satisfying. 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.
It means that watch is designated to be sold in the European market. Unfortunately there is currently no GWG-1000 model with a positive LCD display. With the Multi-Band 6 feature the watch can receive the signals from all six transmitters in the five different countries.
It is part of the G-Shock collection and therefore offers everything you would expect from one, but at the same time, it offers so much more. Both in terms of durability, but most importantly in terms of functions. This is a true survival and outdoor watch which has functions that display everything you may need from a watch and much more.
While you don’t ever need to use it, those who want their G-Shock to now also serve as a pedometer have a solution in a non-smartwatch. For this reason, the watch is now called “Quad Sensor.” This adds to the existing compass, temperature, and barometer/altimeter sensors the watch also has. Other useful functions include sunrise/sunset times and the normal host of useful G-Shock features.
With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community. Few watches, if any, can boast a more rugged build than Casio’s Mudmaster line, a set of timepieces aimed squarely at hikers, mountaineers, and ground-based military personnel.
His writing style is inspired by certain “British automotive journalists” and his own experiences growing up and living in a blue-collar society. We finished with a conversation of comparison between the watch community and the local biking community. We talked about how the watch, or the bike, is not only a tool for our passion, but also gives us a sense of pride, brings us together, or even carries the souls of us for many years to come. As I sat at a table with my friend and his watch in hand, I couldn’t help but fixate on the size of the case. The Mudmaster GG A5 definitely has a wrist presence and dwarfs almost all of the common G-Shocks that I’ve ever seen. His wrist is smaller than mine, probably by an inch, and it looks big on me.
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 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. This is yet another way Casio added a touch of class and refinement that also helps to the overall structure resistance. The final layer that comes with filled engravings is a stainless steel bezel and the smoothed outer layer structure has a matte finish.
Beautiful carbon Fiber inlaid bezel really makes the watch pop. The Matte Carbon Fiber Bezel provides great looks and true function. I have owned this watch for a while and continue to discover features and little details that set it apart from others. I was also very impressed with the output of the light- it will truly light up an entire room if needed.
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. Like the Yeti SP5C Bike, the Casio is made for extreme conditions and abuse.
