This is tracked in real-time in the app, while altitude is shown on the watch’s screen. The Mission Log starts with a long press of a single button on the watch itself, and is very easy to use, but anyone unfamiliar with G-Shock functionality will have to read the instructions in the app first. The Carbon Core Guard structure — a monocoque design for strength, just like a racing car — is joined to a stainless steel case back that’s covered in glass fiber resin, all of which means the Mudmaster is as tough as you’d ever need. The buttons, now without guards around them, are wonderfully tactile and easier to press than before.
A rechargeable battery with a large power storage capacity supports stable operation of various functions with high electricity consumption. You never have to worry about the battery running down because it’s a solar battery. Casio watches with solar technology, receive thermal and electrical energy that recharges the watch batteries through solar panels on the face of the watch. Using glass fibers and other carbon materials, the Mudmaster GG-B100 is surprisingly lightweight (92 grams for a 55mm-wide watch) and very solidly built.
Due to hit the shops in an as-yet unspecified date in the October, the MUDMASTER GWG-2000 aims to be even tougher than its range-mates. The watch also features newly developed Mud Resist buttons throughout. The combination of stainless steel button pipes and internal silicone buffer material, which not only absorbs shock but provides a tight seal, ensures even better dust- and mud-resistant performance.
With that said, it is a rather large watch, as to be expected from a watch made for the outdoors. Obviously, this isn’t a watch that you wear with your suit, and it is also relatively heavy compared to many other G-Shocks, weighing in at about 120 grams. It supports 29 time zones, plus radio wave reception for the most accurate time possible. (Pocket-lint) – Casio has announced a G-Shock watch in its Master of G series that could very well be its most extreme yet. The hands on the dial have significant all black counter sections that actually block the hands when they pass over each other.
The display is complex yet clear enough to read in most conditions, and the backlight is a surprisingly bright violet color that will make everything clear even underwater. Another button, the last button, is positioned at 6 o’clock at the bottom of the bezel and is used for activating the light. This is a crucial feature for this type of watch that ensures perfect legibility at all times, even in complete darkness. A clever g shock protection function that Casio has incorporated is that if you press the light button and the lower-left button, the hands move out of the way for the screen so you can read it properly in case they are in the way. Other features include shock resistance (as with all G-Shocks), a digital compass, barometer, altimeter, and a thermometer built-in. The shock-resistant MUDMASTER watches regularly pop up in our best outdoor watch roundup.
The face is surrounded by a resin bezel with a carbon fiber sheet visible through the transparent top layer. This new shock resistant structure protects modules with a carbon fiber reinforced resin case. The Aviation line tends to have a more traditional design as Casio decided to use analog hands, but I consider this a plus in terms of better readability in harsh environments.
Casio’s state of the art screen and ultra-lightweight carbon hands means that you never feel as though there is a compromise between functionality and style. The green resin band G shock Mud Master GG-B100-1A3DR does not only looks stylish but it has been designed to bear all the toughness while you continue your work in rough. With advanced specifications and technology, this timepiece has been made for your convenience as it is made og high-rigidity carbon material that protects it against damage and dirt. The MudMaster is a colossus even if you compare it with other top G-Shocks.
The rest of the functions are similar to other top G-Shocks like alarms, world time, chronograph, dual time display, high intensity LED light and many more. The LCD screen at 6 o’clock is used for reading the sensor functions of this watch. A downside of the GWG-1000, however, is that the screen is quite small and can be easy to read. You may also use the button to move the hands out of the way quite frequently.
Boasting a tough and rugged structure, the Mudmaster series puts functions that support high-level performance at your fingertips. It uses altitude readings from the watch and GPS on your phone to track your progress on an excursion. Activate the Mission Log, and the location is recorded on a map, along with activity time, distance, and elevation changes.
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.
“Carbon Core Guard” also sounds more premium than “plastic,” but G-Shock haters should remember sometimes that plastics have some incredibly useful durability properties . The carbon case is visible from the side, but what is seen from the front is the carbon fiber-patterned bezel, which is also lightweight but mostly serves to highlight the watch’s new carbon focus. The button at 6 o’clock activates a surprisingly bright LED dial illuminator.
