CasioThe Mission Log function tracks the altitude measured by the watch and the course obtained from the smartphone’s GPS and automatically records both to an app. The Calorimeter measures altitude and step count to calculate the calories consumed on a long stalk. From construction through features and design, the G-SHOCK GWG-1000 is in every way designed to withstand harsh environments. The Mudmaster runs on the 5594 module — a Bluetooth-connected analog/digital timekeeping device that’s programmable via the G-SHOCK Connected app. The module has a unique “Mission Log” function that combines information from the watch and the GPS in your smartphone to provide a readout of your latest adventure.
There are also mud resistant buttons, which use a combination of stainless steel and an internal silicone buffer material to ensure no external matter can enter through the watch itself. Forged carbon is therefore perfect for use in a watch designed for extreme sports participants. Casio uses it for the lug that connects the bezel to the band on either side. The G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-2000 is the first in the range to be made with forged carbon – a material more commonly used in aircraft or racing car manufacture. It is tough, with a tensile structure stronger than stainless steel, yet lightweight and malleable. I like the band on the watch but feel the glossy polish metal buckle may scratch and look ratty over time.
/PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced the latest addition to the Master of G line of G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches, which are designed for use in the most extreme conditions. The new MUDMASTER GWG-2000 is the first G-SHOCK to be built with forged carbon, which is both lightweight and strong. Designed for defense against disasters, the GWG1000-1A3 and GWG1000-1A9 offer protection from mud, vibration, shock, and other elements. Mud Resistance is made possible through a button guard structure utilizing gaskets within the cylinders and button shafts, as well as a screw lock crown structure that also prevents mud and dust from entering the case. The use of Alpha Gel® at the bottom and sides of the case also provides Vibration Resistance while washers where the band joins the case prevent the lug screws from coming loose. 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.
The G-Shock collection from Casio doesn’t need much of an introduction. It’s tough, durable, and made to handle virtually any harsh conditions you may subject it to. Finally I’m aware that the Bluetooth connectivity is fantastic but it comes at a significant drain to power.
Recall that aBlogtoWatch offered a hands-on debut look at this G-Shock Mudmaster GG-B100 here with another colorway when it was first announced back in March. With double LED light and hand shift feature, the G Shock Mud Master GSG-100-1ADR Price is set for $296. After introducing the Quad sensor Casio brings for you the twin sensor series, a tougher one to wear while working in deep and dirty locations. Not to forget that like other G Shock Mud Master Quad Sensor series, this can also be connected to your smart devices via app or Bluetooth connectivity.
Although I didn’t manage to damage it I feel like over time this may end up being the most scruffy part of the watch. I would actually prefer if this buckle was a tough resin or if the metal was PVD coated or finished in a non glossy brushed finish instead. Firstly the lume on the hands should extend to the numbers on the dial too or at the very least an extra single lume dot at the 12 position. This means that in the pitch dark you know ‘which way up’ the watch is and more importantly don’t read the watch with a slightly crooked wrist and inaccurately guess which hour it is.
Features showcasing toughness include Tough Movement, Smart Access Crown, Tough Movement and G-SHOCK’s legendary Shock & 200M Water Resistance. Stopwatch , Countdown Timer , Day/Date Display, and Full Auto Calendar and Mute Function. Case Size is a formidable 59.5mm H X 56.1mm W x 18mm D and comes in at 119g. The case is made of high-rigidity carbon material to protect against damage and deformation due to baby g shock impact and other rough treatment, while metal button pipes ensure a tighter seal against the external environment. A filter further protects against the invasion of mud, for the high level of dust and mud resistance required when in severe environments. In addition, the dual back cover consists of a stainless steel panel back and an outer cover made of shock resistant fine resin embedded with glass fibers.
Carbon Core Guard structureThis new shock resistant structure protects modules with a carbon fiber reinforced resin case. The band surface is processed to resemble a cloth band texture, and the hour and minute hands are shaped with points that make them resemble warning markers. All buttons have a checkered surface for surer operation, and the overall design is tough and rugged. Designed for strength and functionality to survive the extremes, G-Shock‘s incredibly robust Mudmaster is quickly becoming one of the brand’s most sought-after piece. The Mudmaster lineup is designed and engineered for those who work in extreme environments scattered with rubble, dirt, and debris.
