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 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 watch features a double LED light which is surprisingly powerful but only stays on for a 3 second burst. The hands of the watch also have lume applied so they remain visible for a long period during the night even without using the LED light to read the time. Master of G watches by G-Shock were designed to assist baby g shock the most rugged men with the ability to adapt in the most unpredictable conditions on land, in the air and at sea. Casio’s Master of G watches are most commonly known for their G-Shock Mudmaster and G-Shock Rangeman models. These two watches claim to have the durability to support any task found on earth.
This item not only works tough but also looks promising and more suitable for people who know how to maintain their looks. For all the all-black lovers, this timepiece is best suitable as it does not only fulfill your work demands but also looks extremely breath-taking with a black resin band and dialer.

Yes, the case is a whopping 53.1mm wide and 19.3mm thick, but like just about all G-Shock watches, it’s ergonomically curved and light on the wrist at just 92g. For a price of $350 retail, the Mudmaster GGB100 offers a healthy dose of the G-Shock brand personality and experience, a ton of functionality, and genuinely tough watch you don’t need to worry about. The bluetooth smartphone link, however, makes a lot of sense and genuinely enhances the user experience in several ways.
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.
That is also true given the limited space available for light to enter a subdial photovoltaic cell that would recharge a light-powered watch. The step-counter functionality is the latest sensor to be integrated into a G-Shock watch. 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.
While mundane to some, this feature would be paramount to someone who might be on a trail during or after a rain. If you’re not going over the bars, you’ll be hauling your bike at some point, loading into your Honda Element, or making repairs to it. All these things are typically avoided by people in the watch community while wearing a watch. You’re going to encounter dirt or mud in this sport, and Lord knows you might want to sell a watch down the road which is nearly impossible if it’s beaten all to hell. In terms of techy features, G-Shock watches measure, calculate, and display information in several ways.
