Hey everyone how're you doing? Right, I really should stop saying right. Right? UPDATE: About 10 months after I filmed this video, the Patek Philippe's crown detached from the watch body during a routine winding and time setting operation. My Mudmaster GWG-1000 meanwhile has been abused its entire life (of 7 years), exposure to salt water, sand, mud, soaps etc and physical impacts including drop tests from the second floor. All the components including the digital crown are intact, the module has never malfunctioned and there isn't one single scratch, chip or crack on the sapphire crystal. Employ smug face 🙂
Just got the watch as well, loving it! Looks like we have similar watch philosophies: it has to be durable in any situation, useful in survival situation, doesn't track you and doesn't have any unnecessary (smart) features. I hate that people cry in Casio Mudmaster trailer video comments: "add Bluetooth please". Why?! It's just another thing that could break, it has to be a tank! But I'm still a little bit salty that they didn't add sunset/rise, moon phase data and that bezel is not ceramic. This data is *super useful* for land use cases, it's "land flagship" after all.
Exactly! The Mudmaster was never targeted towards those who wanted a "smart" or "smarter" watch, it is untethered from any and all smart devices and should remain so. The sunset/sunrise feature is the only major or glaring omission in the Mudmaster, because prior to this I was wearing a GW-9400 Rangeman as a daily, and it was a super useful feature and is something I missed a lot (otherwise the GW-94000 is a pathetic G-SHOCK). As to the bezel, I believe stainless steel is more resistant in the long run because it will bend upon impact and not crack like ceramic. What Casio could have done was to put a DLC coating on the stainless steel bezel (like on the GPW-1000) to make it more scratch resistant. In my experience, Casio has definitely done something to the stainless steel bezel because it doesn't scratch very easily, but it may not be a DLC coating (because if it was they would have hyped about it in the promotion videos and other promotional material)
It’s jus like the movie “pacific rim” Where the nuclear reactor Jaeger keeps running while the other advanced versions of jaeger falls down A simple analogy
The second i seen this watch, I cashed in my Omega, worth in the K's. Have not regretted it one time. This is one watch that is worth the high price. I absolutely love this watch. I use it numerous times a day ither than time. If you have a general concept of barometric pressure, you can spot trends in pressure to give you a good idea of the weather. You see the pressure steadily increase, its gonna be nice. Super fast drop, equally opposite. A good thunderstorm will be pretty much predictable by steep dip in pressure. I LOVE LOVE THIS WATCH! This is gonna last you past the Apocalypse. What a great piece of design.
@@StardustLegacyFighter I got the G-Shock GWG2000. Had it a few days now and I can't find one single con. Best watch I ever owned. I got it on eBay for $525. Price tag is a little high but knowing what I know now, if I somehow lost this, I would have no problem paying the full $800 suggested price. I have to force myself from staring at the G-Shock Metal ones. They are like $1200 but wow do they look good. Beautiful ❤️.
It definitely is worth the price! Yes, in general a decrease in barometric pressure over time is indicative of weather conditions becoming more severe/overcast while an increase in barometric pressure is usually indicative of clearer skies. The logic is that winds move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (just like use humans, who prefer low pressure areas lol). I love the design of the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster because of the depth of the 3D dial, and the unbeatable clarity of the sapphire crystal on top, the readability is just otherworldly. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned in for more such videos
The GWG-2000 is a great watch, but in my experience I have found it to be a bit on the smaller side, it still has a 3D face design but it’s more like the 3D TVs from 2010s kind of 3D rather than the IMAX theatre level of 3D depth seen on the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster. However, I will admit the newer GWG-2000 does fit on smaller to medium size wrists better, and it has more bling or wow factor thanks to the forged carbon and stainless steel bezel (whether that’s for the better or worse depends on person to person).
Hello champion !!! Between the two watches, GWG-2000-1A3ER and GWG-B1000-3AER. which one would you buy in your humble opinion with what you have already experienced in these two watches? Since the price is similar. (If there is also someone who can advise me, I would appreciate it in advance, THANK YOU!!!)
Hello! I would buy the GWG-1000 over the GWG-2000 and the GWG-B1000. I was excited upon first reading the GWG-B1000 announcement online, but to my utter dismay they have removed the time zone dial and the mode indicator hand. These two functions were what made the Mudmaster unique, in a sea of low to mid range watches. The OG Mudmaster is so good, I bought another one before just in case Casio stops building them
Thanks a lot !!! I think the same as you but, and I have also seen in other videos that some functions of the B 1000 -3AER do not work except with a mobile phone, (smartphone) such as, and I seem to remember, the return to game function with the compass.
@@SEVILLAETERNA You're welcome! I think the whole purpose of a watch is to help keep you untethered from your phone, which is why the non bluetooth GWG-1000 released way back in 2015 is the pick for me, I bought one in 2016, its been on my wrist for 7 years now, I have tens of G-SHOCKs but I always switch back to the Mudmaster GWG-1000 because of its not too large and not too small size, and MIND BLOWING legibility of the dial and hour markers thanks to the sapphire crystal and 3d face design
Thank you very much champion!!! Well, it will be the one I buy then, although I had my eye on the GWG 2000-1 A3er which is costing 600 euros on sale. Wouldn't the GWG 2000-1 A3er be better, in principle, because it is more modern than the GWG 1000? Thanks in advance !!!
I have a Tag heuer automatic calibre 16 day/date, and I only use it when I go to an event or restaurant in the evening. The rest of the time I always wear one of my g-shock, they are so much better for daily use and I fucking love the design and how strong they are. I have been a G-shock fan for over 25 years. I bought my first G-shock with the salary of my very first job after I got graduated. Still works perfectly today.
That is awesome to hear, Swiss watches are great no doubt, but Casios and G-SHOCKs in specific have another aura about them, one who wears a G-SHOCK doesn't give a f*ck about what others think about them and wearing a G-SHOCK in a sea of Rolexes guarantees one more attention, which wipes the superior smirk right off the owners of those Rolexes. G-SHOCK is God Tier
I also bought the gwg 1000. It is the best looking gshock. You did the best comparison analysis on youtube. Great job. My Rolex is going back in the safe!
Right on, the Mudmaster GWG-1000 just oozes quality. It is the perfect blend of toughness, practicality and design. Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated, and stay tuned in to LordTechPro!
The GWG-1000 is much much muchhhh (for extra emphasis) more legible because it is larger, has more depth and full white hour markers. The Forged Carbon on the GWG-2000 is more resistant to scratches though, but I'm not sure about the metal bezel. So far mine has zero scratches but that's because I only wore it for a few weeks before switching back to the GWG-1000. The resin band keeper on the GWG-2000 does hide scratches better than the metal one on the GWG-1000 (which gets scuffed up very fast). Overall if you already have the GWG-1000 getting a GWG-2000 would be a downgrade (unless you want a smaller and lighter watch)
Casio really missed the mark with the GWG-2000, I went back to the GWG-1000 after a few weeks because I couldn't bear how much harder it was to read the time (because of the shallow depth and smaller dial size). You're welcome! Thanks for watching and stay tuned in to LordTechPro!
Great video. Just got my GWG 2000. Wear it more than my Planet Ocean. Love your Bregeut by the way.(First one). Obviously the 2000 is superior in most ways, but still like the 1000 as it's the original mudmaster
Thanks for watching, the Breguet is my Dad's watch and it is a true classic. However, I don't agree with you regarding the GWG-2000. The GWG-2000 has copious amounts of bling and less legibility, on account of the dial being more shallow and the hour markers being smaller plus grey. Also, it's not made in Japan. Casio just announced the GWG-B1000 and with the latest Mudmaster they have retraced their steps and now it's once again Made in Japan, there are more textured/matte surfaces on the new watch and visually it brings back the butch looks of the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster
Nice video. Some comments regarding the GWG-2K vs the GWG-1K. The GWG-2K is lighter; thinner; it has better buttons; better crown; better materials (SS, CCG, FC vs plastic); softer straps; better lume; much better LCD display; city codes are now protected under the crystal. Even though the band keeper is resin, now it actually works.
Thanks for watching! The GWG-2000 is lighter and thinner, but not by much. While the button actuation is better, the buttons on the GWG-2000 feel like they've been made out of plastic, and the checkered buttons on the OG GWG-1000 are better built. I wouldn't say the GWG-2000 is better built, but yes it does have better quality materials in its construction. I don't like the fact tha the City Codes are no longer in their own IP plated ring on the outside, because now they just fade into oblivion and also clutter the main watch face too much. The LCD display is noticeably better but I prefer the earlier metal band keeper, the resin band keeper looks out of place and does not match the metal buckle and tongue. To keep the band keeper resin, Casio should have IP plated the metal parts in black and used a black resin band keeper, to create a better sense of rhythm. On the whole the original GWG-1000 Mudmaster feels more special as the greater attention to detail and engineering time spent on it is noticeable at the very first glance.
@@fishwagt1514 I would rather not turn those heads and have more depth and better "3D face design" so that it's easier to tell the time at a glance, than to turn the heads of some people who don't even know the true value of G-SHOCKs. G-SHOCKs are God tier. If I really want people to turn their heads and notice the watch I'm wearing, I simply wear my Full Metal (stainless steel) gold IP plated Square, the GMW-B5000-BD9DR: ruclips.net/video/SEn94Gd5FuA/видео.html Now this watch is designed with uber style in mind, completely blinged out and in your face. You know what the problem with the GWG-2000 is? It simply has too much bling. If you use it in the environment it was designed to be used in (the great outdoors) your eyes physically start to hurt. I just want to tell the time in just one glance, and what do I get? What do I get? A face full of sunlight being reflected by the polished surfaces of the metal bezel. After you've had it happen to you a couple of times, you reach the end of your tether. I just want to read the time, I don't care how much bling it has or who notices the bloody watch. Other G-SHOCKs were specifically designed for the aforementioned, but they are not "daily" watches. The Mudmaster is simply on another level when it comes to comfort and readability, but they had to mess it up and cause physical discomfort to make it "better".
@@Nightmareman3 True! The GWG-2000 is closer to a 2D face design will the OG Mudmaster GWG-1000 has a really good 3D watch face. The GWG-1000 is like a sleeper watch, no unnecessary bling or add ons, if you know what it is then you appreciate it. If you don't know anything about G-SHOCKs (or watches in general), you will still notice how easy it is to read the time on the GWG-1000. It's so good that Casio themselves don't know how to make it better
I'm glad I went with the GWG-1000 and not the GWG-2000. There are plenty of ppl here saying that the newer Mudmaster is the superior watch, but they clearly forget that it's not meant to be a flashy watch. If I want to wear a fairly tough solar powered atomic watch in places where the GWG-1000 would look comically out of place, I'd rather just wear my Skyhawk than own a GWG-2000.
Finally, someone who understands the charm of the GWG-1000. Thank you for commenting dear sir! The GWG-2000 offers no additional features when compared to the GWG-1000 but is more expensive, has more bling and a smaller (less legible) dial and hour markers. Also, not only is the stainless steel bezel more "bling" it is also more prone to scratches/dents.
I finally managed to solve the hard and sticky button issue on the GWG-1000. Also, made a video on it for anyone else who is facing the same issue. Hey buddy @LordTechPro very nice video there. Loved watching it. The GWG-1000 is my favourite watch too and i also modded the one that i wear every day with a pvd coated black metal bracelet. Something I want to add to what you said- The GGB-100 also has a metal backplate but its under the resin cover.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned in to @LordTechPro! I saw your Mudmaster with the Jays & Kays adapter on it, it looks cool! Yes I know the GGB-100 has a metal backplate under the resin cover but it is not going to be felt on your wrist. Metal feels cool to the touch on the wrist and hence the Mudmaster GWG-1000 connects to your mind better
I think anyone who looks at a G Shock, is not looking for beauty, but toughness, capability, built for a purpose. The GWG 1000 does this beautifully, and then some. It's abilities are fantastic, and it puts a smile on my face, every time I look at it. I came from the generation that used a slide rule as our calculator, and I appreciate a tool that works all the time, every time. The GWG 1000 is king of them all, and if it's too much watch for you, Casio makes tamer, daintier G Shocks, with the corners, and cool knocked off, if less is your thing. I couldn't say no to a GWG 1000 1A 3 JD, that's the green strap, Jspan domestic market, hand made, with sapphire glass. It cost over $800.00 Can, but the quality is worth every penny. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Couldn't agree more, my most favourite G-SHOCK is and probably always be the MUDMASTER GWG-1000-3ADR, it is a masterpiece, so good that I bought another one, just to have one in mint condition in my collection before Casio stops production
My $20 Casio watch, is more accurate more durable more water proof than a Swiss made watch. I cant even use my Swiss made watch because of the heat where I live for 3 months out of the year. Swiss watch makers need to step up to the plate, because while they are really beautiful to look at, so is any other high end fake.. My late wife's G-shock cost $150 , it has never gone wrong, it has Atomic time and Solar, and way more complications. I will never ever buy another expensive Swiss made watch, you are buying a name.
I wouldn't necessarily say that. Casio watches are no doubt very good at telling the time all the time. However, Swiss watches are simply in a different league. You don't buy a mechanical Swiss luxury watch just to tell the time, they are pieces of art which simply happen to also tell the time. The engineering and craftsmanship that goes into a Swiss luxury watch is unparalleled
💯 You can wear the Mudmaster anywhere and everywhere without having a single worry. Truly stress free, and super comfortable on the wrist. Automatics have their own advantages and feel special, but in terms of daily driving you can’t beat a G-SHOCK
I got a raise at work and I'm celebrating with a G-Shock. Throwing budget out the window for the first time, so this makes me laugh (and feel better). Patek pah! Mudmaster or Gulfmaster, this is my question.
Congratulations! Since filming this video the Patek's crown broke off during winding and I was disappointed yet smug at the same time, because my Mudmaster has been brutally treated its entire life (of nearly 7 years) yet nothing has broken or malfunctioned. G-SHOCKs are built different
Gulfmaster has the most sensors out of an G-Shock ever made, but there have been more reported issues with it when compared to its brethren the Mudmaster.
Damn I actually watched the whole thing G shocks aren't a dress watch though they serve different functions. But I'm all in for a post apocalyptic survival watch because this is a tool that I can rely on That said these gwg s still seem way too big for my tiny boy wrist for pre apocalyptic everyday wear Do you have any experience with the protreks they seem to strike a good balance on that regard, been researching on a good model to buy, thinking with hands or strictly LCD displays
Well you shouldn't worry about your wrist size with the GWGs they have these wings or tabs at the lugs which hug your wrists and spread out the weight evenly over a larger surface area. Pro Treks are also a good option to consider from Casio as they are still pretty robust and much thinner which makes them great for daily wear. However, a Pro Trek can never meet the same stringent standards a G-SHOCK must pass, furthermore wearing a G-SHOCK is a powerful statement and it is one thing you can wear for every single activity without a worry entering your mind
Excellent review. When wearing a watch you need it to be strong and reliable regardless of the situation. Being solar powered is a big tick. Casio Mudmaster slays all watches before it. Currently have a Casio Mudman g9300, having the itch to also get mudmaster with solar like the one you have. That is my grail watch. Lost all interest in Swiss brands.
Well said! Swiss watches have their own charm no doubt, but according to me, true luxury is when you don't need to worry about anything, and G-SHOCK gives one that peace of mind. You can take it swimming, diving, rock climbing, trekking, through mud, rain and snow and it will operate flawlessly year after year after year. Take that Patek!
This! Precisely this is what is missing on the GWG-2000 (although if I'm sure that you're referring to the band keeper, because the buckle on the GWG-2000 is made out of metal). If not metal, they should have blacked out the metal buckle and the resin band keeper, to create a certain sense of rhythm along with the other blacked out parts on the watch.
@@fishwagt1514 Well that is your opinion, but that is not my point. They way they integrated the resin band keeper is utterly hideous, it doesn't match the colour scheme or overall aesthetics of the watch at all. They should have made it in a contrasting colour like black, and IP coated the metal buckle and tongue in black as well. As for the metal vs resin debate, metal feels more weighty and premium, and the scratches add character to a G-SHOCK. If you're worried about scratching your G-SHOCKs that means you are not using them to their full potential or stretching them to the limits.
@@fishwagt1514 Exactly. That isn't in contact with your wrist all the time. You scratch a plastic bezel, the scratches are hidden better and you can easily get a replacement bezel for cheap. You fail to understand, the bezel is plastic for a reason, you don't touch it all the time and it's supposed to recede into the background. Here's an analogy, with the iPhone SE 2020, Apple switched to using only black bezels, because they are not the focus, the display is. Similarly with watches, the bezel is not supposed to emote more or shine over the watch face (doing so serves no practical purpose)
Most of us loves a Swiss auto diving watch, yet none of us goes actually diving. Most of us, likes a beauty mechanical Racing Chrono, while just 1 or 2 will actually attend the Formula 1. Same for aviation or military watches. I'm pretty sure that most of us buy a watch simply because we like it. I don't think Casio made the 2K as a replace of the 1K, I understand them as 2 different variants of the same line for 2 different purposes/buyers. Also I know people who have both, and treated them that way; 1000 for abuse and sports activities and 2K for daily/casual/weekend watch. If you see the 2000 this way; you will notice that the untextured buttons are better, the city-codes ring is less distracting cause it's underneath now. The numbers on the dial are a bit smaller as well the overall dimensions, making it more wearable. The polished inner angle of the SS bezel is more flashy for the looks, as well the Carbon Fiber and the new protruding lugs, making the watch more elegant and eye-catching, Don't think these 2 pieces deserves to compete, both are great in their own areas and Casio can reach a new fans community. Agree with the band keeper; it must be metalic or black resin. Disagree with the "no Japan made anymore is bad", nowadays that's something just the purists continues saying to themselves. However calling the 2000 a Blingsy watch and the 1000 as the perfect survival tool, might be exaggerated; aftermarket diamond on a Richard Mille or Invicta for the Bling, and a Pro-Trek or GW-9400 for the Zombie Apocalypse.
That is precisely the point. The Mudmaster is not supposed to be flashy, the various other models such as the Gravitymasters, MTGs, G-Steel etc take care of that aspect. Furthermore, the GWG-1000 is the same price as the GWG-2000 (if bought new) but there are dozens of used GWG-1000s which thanks to the sapphire crystal, look close to brand new. If these owners were to let go of their GWG-1000s and purchase a GWG-2000, they would not gain any additional features, but instead find it harder to read the time, and over time the steel bezel would show scratches more easily, thus reducing the perceived elegance (the GWG-2000 is not elegant, it may be smaller and thinner, but it is still a large bulky watch in comparison to Swiss watches) Also, comparing the two side by side, one understands why the Made in Japan watch is built better, the GWG-1000 feels rock solid (from the resin bezel down to the buttons and case back) while the buttons on the GWG-2000 have more play to them, the wings around the lugs creaks, the resin band keeper feels sticky, and makes a squeaky noise when you move it along the band. Overall, the GWG-2000 may use more "exotic" materials (forged carbon fibre, stainless steel bezel) but the overall build quality is not up to the GWG-1000s standards. So this is just an ill executed cash grab by Casio, which is one of the reasons why they are releasing so many "Limited Edition" versions of the GWG-2000, so limited in facts that these versions are more commonly seen than the standard GWG-2000 colour ways
Speak for yourself, I wear the GWG-1000 daily and I don't ever feel that it's too big or unwearable in situations where the GWG-2000 is normally suited to. I'd consider the Frogman to be a far more premium G-Shock than the GWG-2000, and its use of metal parts is done to a much higher standard. The design of the GWG-2000 is objectively worse, and you'd be wholly ignorant to see things a different way. The display is smaller, the digits are smaller, the mode dial looks like a christmas tree, the sapphire glass protrudes out too much, the lugs are too long, the button textures are weird, the band keeper is cheaper, etc... The only two things the GWG-2000 improves upon its predecessor is the metal crown and the actuation of the buttons, however both don't bother me as I rarely operate the crown and my fingers are tough.
@@StardustLegacyFighter 100%. Whatever Casio may say, the fact is Sapphire is Sapphire and Sapphire cracks/chips when it comes into direct contact with the floor when dropped from a height. The GWG-1000 has a fantastic bezel which covers the edges of the sapphire crystal (the most vulnerable part) and only leaves the centre of the crystal exposed. The hour and minute markers are bigger, and the metal parts look shiny when new, but over time the scratches, dents and scuffs on the stainless steel bezel will be more visible. However, the display on the GWG-1000 and the GWG-2000 are the exact same in terms of dimension. The display itself is slightly better on the GWG-2000 (better viewing angles), and it has a blue tinge to the LCD, but since its a negative display on both anyway, the display isn't the main focus of these mostly analogue watches. Forgman's such as the GWF-1000 are a much better fit, as it combines the best of bost materials, the metal case is on the inside and not the outside, meaning it provides greater shear strength, extra resistance to compressive forces, while the resin casing absorbs the forces of impacts while also not exhibiting scratches as easily
@@LordTechPro No difficulties reading the time on the 2000, numbers are big, on the 1000 they were clowny huge. It's nearly impossible to scratch de steel bezel cause it's protected by enormous forged-carbon guards. I´ve been abusing it daily for 1 year and it doesn't have any scratches, neither on the bezel or the case. Not saying that 2000 is an elegant watch as a swiss watch, saying that´s more elegant than the 1000. No play at all on the buttons of my 2000, no lug-crack on mine, the resin band is "perfection", it stays in place grabbing the band with no strange sounds. Don't know were you live, but on Amazon, most online commerce, and physical stores as well; until today you can easily find the 3 main color-ways. The "Toyota", and the "red one" are way more difficult to find.
@@pappanatasThe whole point of the Mudmaster lineup is not elegance lol, it's absolute toughness, elegance is for the full metal Casioak or Squares to show off. The GWG-2000 has already been made redundant with the arrival of the new Mudmaster, which actually borrows more of its design language from the OG Mudmaster a lot more than the GWG-2000. The smaller dial on the newer Mudmasters have been a huge downgrade, because it makes the face look shrunken, and impacts legibility. The overall design of the GWG-2000 is nowhere near as clean as the OG Mudmaster, and it doesn't matter if it used more resin instead of stainless steel for the face, at least sapphire glass crystal doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
I never compared mechanical and digital battery watches since they are totally different and worth much less and always will. But I guess I can wear it on weeding since I need to know all the time altitude and temperature. Also it’s important to use compass in office so I can orient myself 🤣😜
Nice one, however, mechanical watches don't have the same level of build quality nor match the level of toughness that G-SHOCKS are built to. Mechanical watches have a lot of intricate parts which need to be follow millimetres or even micrometers of tolerance, a simple fall from the desk or improper turning of the crown (either to wind the watch or set the date) can be catastrophic for the watch and lead to thousand dollar repairs. Most Casios don't even cost $1000 they are around $100 on average, and are God Tier watches which always tell the time, no matter what
The Rangeman is a great watch, but against the Mudmaster the winner is very clear, the Mudmaster is lighter and has curved wings near the lugs which distribute the weight over a larger surface area. Thus, the Mudmaster stays put on your wrist and therefore you almost forgot you're even wearing it. With the Rangeman that same fit around your wrist cannot be achieved, and you notice the mass (which is already higher) a lot more when you're on the move
@xlilnetx If you're thinking about switching to the Mudmaster, then it's actually of a lesser thickness to the GPS Rangeman. It's slightly thinner than the original Rangeman too.
For sure this Military Green one the GWG-2000-1A3. Casio uses this very colour of the Mudmaster in every promotional content they put out and thereby it means the most amount of time has been spent on perfecting this version. The other versions are simply present to create an illusion of choice, the green one is the one you should buy
@@LordTechPro umm I just don’t like the green strap, I would have buyed it if had a black strap Btw is there any legibility difference between the two colours ?
@@Fake.1 Yes there is a big legibility difference, the hour markers and numerals on the green version are easier to read and stand out more from the dial (because the numerals are white on the green and grey on the black)
@@Fake.1You can buy a JaysAndKays adaptor kit from ebay to allow the Mudmaster to fit any 24mm strap. That's exactly what I did with mine, and it's amazing.
Great video thanks. You should look at the GPW-2000. One of the only triple sync G-Shocks and super legible. One of my absolute favourites. By the way I really like the long form of this video. Most watch videos are too short in my opinion. I also really liked experiencing your initial reaction. This is also pretty rare in watch videos, sadly.
Thanks for watching! I have already looked at the GPW-2000, and I actually bought it while I was in Japan, I've made a video on it too: ruclips.net/video/sg6K7jT0BYY/видео.html. It is one of my favourites due, wholly due to it debuting the Triple Sync functionality (which makes it the only non MRG G-SHOCK model to have ever have this feature). The GPW-2000 is super legible in all lighting conditions with its 3D face design but it just doesn't feel special. I say this because I also have its predecessor the GPW-1000 (which has both Multi Band 6 and GPS time sync capabilities) and it is simply much better in everything else. The buttons feel better built, the Digital Crown has such an intricate design with a much easier to use single step locking and unlocking mechanism (as opposed to the long drawn screw in type mechanism found on the newer GPW-2000, which takes forever to unscrew and then re-screw). The GPW-1000 also has grey brushed metal buttons on the right side and a resin button on the left side, but all the buttons on the GPW-2000 look and feel as if they're plastic, and the chrome on the right ones looks gaudy, because that colour or materiality is not repeated anywhere else on the watch (except for the backplate, which you can't see when you're wearing it. Most importantly, the GPW-1000 has a DLC coated bezel, a contrasting IP plated city dial and a much more interesting watch face, which makes it feel more premium. The GPW-2000 is good, but I can't help thinking why I shouldn't just wear the GPW-1000 instead, because it has all the same features, a much better build but of course sans the Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. The latest Gravitymaster GWR-B1000 is probably the best in terms of build quality, but I just hate that Casio removed the awesome Triple Sync Functionality, which just makes it too boring and run of the mill. Yes, most of the videos on RUclips nowadays are too short (and RUclips shorts will further encourage them), glad that you liked this format!
The MUDMASTER is the MASTER of the watch world, it's so good that Casio themselves don't know how to make it (as the new GWG-2000 is not as good as the OG GWG-1000)
I agree 100%, the MUDMASTER GWG-1000 is the peak G-SHOCK, no other G-SHOCK new or old comes close to it in terms of toughness, durability, legibility and comfort. The RANGEMAN GPR-B1000 is not the everyday and anytime watch the GWG-1000 is, but it is the most advanced G-SHOCK Casio has every released till date. Lately Casio has been downsizing and removing redundant features on their G-SHOCKs and releasing special colour ways as a "MUST HAVE FEATURE" which I am not at all a fan of as the G-SHOCKs I grew up with were the smartwatches of their time, and the newer ones have less features than them. It is unacceptable.
@@LordTechPro The GPR-1000 got discontinued after only 2 years of production, whereas the GWG-1000 is still in limited production. That to me says a lot about the reception that Casio got about drastically changing the Rangeman. Imo, they should have directly improved upon the GW-9400, by adding a sapphire glass crystal and giving it a MIP display, without changing the overall looks and swapping MB6 for Bluetooth.
@@LordTechPro i have gpr-b1000 and gwg-1000 she gives me the time but i have rolex president and seiko 5 but it's up to me to tell him the time . having a watch that tells you the time is pretty amazing to me so i choose g-shock for everyday
@@kalach7648 Same, I wore the GWG-1000 for over 5 years, now I'm wearing the GWG-2000. One of the best G-SHOCKs you can buy right now in my humble opinion. The mix of features, materials, legibility, toughness and design are all unbelievable for the price. The GWG-1000 is an even better deal right now
@@LordTechPro the gwg-2000 is good but I don't understand why they did that. the next step is a gwg-3000 without more options but with better materials? you did not ask yourself the question?
@@kalach7648 I don't quite understand what you mean to say. The GWG-2000 is already a big step up in terms of materials, and the Mudmaster was never meant to be the features champ, that place has always been held by the Rangeman, first with the GW-94000 and now with the GPR-B1000. Something I would like to see on the GWG-3000 (or whatever they call the next mudmaster) is a sunset/sunrise mode
You are absolutely right I’ve had a Rolex gmt master 11 for 21 years and I’ve just got the gwg 2000 and I’ve it for two days and it’s by far the better watch 👌
I suggest you try the GWG-1000 too, it is Made in Japan (the GWG-2000 is made in Thailand) and has far superior attention to detail and is also more rugged, has a bigger dial, bigger hour markers and is easier to read. It is so good in fact that Casio are selling the old GWG-1000 and new GWG-2000 at the same price, and weirdly in some cases the older GWG-1000 costs more due to demand from Casio collectors who want a genuine fully Made in Japan G-SHOCK.
GWG2000 not receive the respect that deserves, for some reason the model not like to collectors being that offer many improves. Better looks, slimer, lighter, more confortable, more legible lcd display, better button push reponses, better iluminator light, better construction with carbon core, better button seal system again water, mud and moisture, carbon in vessel grips. The complaining is all about the metal ring and carbon grips that looks more fragile againts scratches, a lot preffer the resing ring, at the end, both damage equally but yes, is more expensive the new models parts, but is a merely astetic detail, if you dont use the watch to smash things is not fair called an inferior version and deserves more respect. I dont see the problem.
The problem is the Mudmaster is no longer hand built in Japan and is also mass produced. Collectors prefer a watch which has a story to it. The GWG-2000 is nothing but a cash grab, it doesn't introduce anything new, the Carbon Core guard was already out, the mud resistant button pushers were first introduced in the GPR-B1000 Rangeman and the analogue part of the watch is much much less legible than on the GWG-1000. One won't use the more legible LCD every single time you glance at the watch, but compare it back to back with a GWG-1000 and one will realise how much more legible the GWG-1000 is. The new materials like the forged carbon, and stainless steel bezel all look amazing, but the button pushers themselves feel plasticky and no longer have the checkered pattern on them. The GWG-2000 is a reskinned GWG-1000 and that is why the GWG-1000 is also selling for almost the same price new, it's just as good as the newer model (because both of them are the exact same)
@@LordTechPro Honestly, is a merely cuestionable opinion, also only a small amount of GWG1000 model are made in japan, the improve of quality materials of next generation would made the watch extreme expensive if continue use japan factory only for the tha assemble. The price is the same for only the cost of japan assembly factories The "made in japan" purist made me laugh. In other hand GWG1000 looks gross and very plastic, is a clearly more coarse watch with a very old design structure. But the toxicity of comunity experts is insane. At last the carbon guards and metal bezel are the real deal, for the purist are crying. GWG2000 is a very better watch in all matters.
@LordTechPro I don't think it's fair to criticise where the watch is built, because not all GWG-1000 Mudmasters were even built in Japan. Casio has been manufacturing reliable watches in multiple countries across Asia, and I've not heard anyone complain about them as much as brands like Seiko. I do agree that the GWG-2000 is overhyped and not worth the purchase for most sensible ppl, but it's still a solid watch. I was set on buying the GWG-2000, but after seeing that the Sapphire Glass protrudes out, I went for the GWG-1000 instead.
@beowulfforce The GWG-2000 being "better" is also very questionable, considering that it's constructed using more premium materials, but it doesn't actually mean it's more rugged. I know ppl who have already damaged the steel bezel and carbon guards, and it looks terrible. Also, repair costs are much higher, due to the nature of the parts that make up the construction. I feel like the GWG-2000 would only be worth it if Casio offered a much longer warranty, or you're the type of person who would treat the Mudmaster like a dress watch.
Will they do have widely different design philosophies, one is tough and oversized, while the other is elegant and at a more regular size. I think both look good, but each to their own
“You should be able to wear your watch in every situation” yeahhhh I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that G Shock with a dress shirt at my office. Even though I love the watch it’s clearly an outdoorsy casual watch. Comparing Patek and Rolex to a gshock is an odd comparison
If you are worried about what others think about your decision to wear a certain watch, you are not the target consumer for G-SHOCK. We G-SHOCK fans don't give a f about what others think
@@LordTechPro I own 14 g shocks from mudmasters to MRGs but sure I’m not the target audience lol still doesn’t change my opinion that a Mudmaster looks corny with a dressy outfit
@@LordTechPro the watch shows itself cohesive as a tank with certain nuances of MTG.....do you have any? I have two 2000s and I sold the 1000. See my cohesive thoughts.
@@pedrovorpholiveira9154 I have a couple of MTGs and its laughable that you are comparing their fit and finish with the GWG-2000. The GWG-2000 has not been thought out properly, no one asked for a metal bezel that scratches easily in the conditions a Mudmaster is worn in. The GWG-2000 is much smaller than the GWG-1000 and as a result the face isn't 3D like it used to be. When one is in the field they don't want a watch which is blingy, light and small. As you have put it, the MTG exists to serve the blingy, metal encased and mid size G-SHOCK market. The GWG-2000 is a pure crash grab from Casio, the least they could have done is added bluetooth functionality and given it sunrise/sunset time capability like the GG-B100. Heck they should have given it the carbon fibre bezel from the GG-B100 too, the bling metal bezel is just odd on a field watch.
About 6.5 inches (but it varies). I wear the new Mudmaster on the 5th lug hole usually but if it's cold I move down to the 4th lug hole. There's plenty of adjustment left if even you have smaller or bigger wrists as there are wings or tabs near the lugs which grip your wrist and spread out the weight evenly no matter the wrist size
Ofcourse you're entitled to your opinion, but it's so not true that the GG-B100 is garbage. It's not a follow up of the gwg1000, but an entirely different product. But if you like, see it as a newer edition of the gg-1000 series. Those mudmasters are also without tough solar, MB6 en sapphire. The GG-B100 has the most functionality (quad sensor) and its modes are completely customizable in the app and the glass is domed. I'd even argue its a better bang for your buck (the regular version) than the gwg1000 and gwg2000. And yes, I have these watches so I'm able to compare them.
The GGB100 is garbage. The Rangeman GW-9400 has all the same features as the GG-B100 and it has Tough Solar and MultiBand 6 capability and it was introduced in 2013. The mode being customisable in the app doesn't add much to the user experience. The GG-B100 has a mediocre watch face with nonexistent finishing, a resin backplate cover with feels cheep and all your money is spent on the carbon fibre bezel and monocoque.
@@LordTechPro GW-9400 is arguably the best budget friendly Master of G. I think the GG-B100 isn't as bad as you say it is, and having held the watch in my hands it actually feels more premium than the Rangeman. If someone is in need of a Master of G watch with an ana-digi display, the GG-B100 is hard to beat, imo.
If you think that is huge you really need to see the big daddy the Rangeman GPR-B1000, this watch is a monster: m.ruclips.net/video/vXBkTlA7EYM/видео.html
It has great ruggedness and needs the buttons to be like this. If it hurts your hand, maybe you need a Baby G. 😉 Try playing some rugby or go to the gym and get yourself some man's hands.
That's what you need to do. Do enlighten me, what exercises can you do to harden the tips of your fingertips? Found one that doesn't make your skin rough as sandpaper (which no one wants except you perhaps)
@@LordTechPro If you are using hand held weights they tend to toughen up the fingers without making the skin hard. It basically thickens it over time. I do a lot of mountaineering and that definitely strengthens your hands and toughens them up. Rowing is also great, either on the water or a rowing machine. Both are fine No matter what activity you do, just make sure to use some kind of moisturizer afterwards, you'll get the toughness and won't have hard rough skin.
@@brianmsahin I've already done all of that (except for the rowing). You crawl through mud first and then try and push the buttons, the new Mudmaster GWG-2000 is simply better engineered. Hell, even my easy to break Rangeman GW-9400 is Mud Resist and still has a very nice button actuation even after 9 years
That is not the point. If you have a GWG-1000 there is no benefit in getting a GWG-2000. Both of them are selling for about the same price new, because the GWG-1000 is made in Japan while the GWG-2000 is not. The GWG-1000 has a much bigger dial which makes it easier to read the time, so overall in everyday use, the GWG-1000 is the pick
@@pedrovorpholiveira9154 Even more reason to buy the GWG-1000. Many retailers are selling at the list price. If the price is "inflated" it just goes to show the demand is incredibly high and that is because the GWG-1000 is the real deal while the GWG-2000 is not worth it
@@LordTechPro la mudmaster coûte juste plus cher pour aucune raison. Elle a moins de fonctions que la gw 9400 et elle est juste plus stylée. Excuse moi mais ne pas mettre le lever et coucher du soleil ni le compteur de pas sur une montre soit disant pour les aventuriers ou militaires c'est juste inadmissible surtout au prix de 749€. Certes, la mudmaster a plus de metal que la gw 9400 et un verre sapphir mais ca ne justifie en rien 450€ de plus par rapport au prix de la gw9400. De plus la rangeman est personnalisable si on se lasse du bezel et du bracelet actuel alors que la mudmaster non. Un bezel de gw 9400 peut s'acheter neuf pour 18€ en France. Donc niveau rapport qualité/fonction/prix la rangeman est meilleure et elle est très résistante aussi. La mudmaster se déforme au moindre petit choc sur le carbone forgé qui n'est pas très solide d'après plusieurs retours d'acheteurs (sur un groupe facebook français dont je fais parti). Il n'y a pas aussi la fonction SNOOZE sur la dernière alarme comme sur la rangeman. Cette fonction est très utile pour un réveil....
No way, you can’t compare a F 91-W to a Patek. A Mudmaster can be compared because of its build quality, it’s creak free, doesn’t flex at all, and it uses premium materials such as sapphire crystal, carbon fibre, and like a Patek, it charged automatically (Patek is an automatic movement, while Mudmaster uses a solar powered movement). These two watches are built to the highest standard and are meant to last for decades if not centuries. The F91-W great as it is, is not the same, there have been issued documented with the quality of resin used in its construction (and many cheaper G-Shocks also) which becomes sticky or flaky over time.
@@LordTechPro F 91-w is a better time piece than any Patek ever. Better accuracy, more reliability, superior endurance, incredible energy storage etc. The specs of a Mudmaster transcend Patek.
Why not? Both of them are food 🤣. However, the Mudmaster is more accurate, more legible and much much more tougher than a Patek (or any other Swiss watch for that matter). G-SHOCK is God Tier
Yeah. Try wearing that monster with a suit and tie to a wedding. You’ll not only look ridiculous but your shirts and coat will never be anything but all bunched up
It won't, wearing a G-SHOCK with a suit gets one more looks and style points in a sea of dull and boring traditional luxury watches like Rolexes, APs and Patek. It's a great conversation starter and that is the whole point of attending a wedding (that and the food of course)
The Rangeman GW 9400 is the worst G-shock ever made!? And the GWG can be worn on elegant occasions like on a wedding!? Maybe your fake Patek is a better choice. #facepalm
The GW-9400 is the weakest G-SHOCK ever made, it passed my Torture Test, but soon after I finished filming I notices that all 4 lugs on the watch had broken and became detached from the main resin case, the bands are now only held onto the watch by the soft resin bezel (and the watch bands tend to come off when running, swimming etc due to this flaw). Furthermore, just because you say it is a fake Patek doesn't make it a fake Patek Philippe
@@LordTechProYou honestly wouldn't believe the number of Rangeman fanboys I come across when I mention how poor the build quality is. These guys are utterly delusional, and all they do is baby their Rangeman, when it's clearly supposed to be abused.
The ggb100 is far supperior watch from all the mudmasters till this day. It have functions that no other have, full carbon, light and WAY more comfartable, 2 times less expencive and more... You dont even know what are talking about, like you dont know how to move the arrow's away, or that behind the carbon-plastic back there is one more steel one for extra protection. Allso it have new and better style buttons that need less force to press, and the best of all - gone is this stuped and practicaly unreachable crown, that you need to constantly wind and uwind every time you try to do something with the watch! The only thing that is missing from ggb100 is solar, and that is made on purpose, cuz if it had it Casio will say bb to sales of the gwg series ;) Oh and more thing cuz i heard you say about the build quality, you know that on this GWG the bolts on the front bezzel are fake, and on the GGB are real :D ?
The GG-B100 does not have sapphire crystal, it is not made in Japan, and for being made with “full carbon” the proportions on it are just not right, it feels too thick, and the domed glass does not help matters either. It is inconsequential if there is a steel plate beneath the plastic plate, as on the wrist, it is cheap plastic which is felt, and not the much more lively stainless steel, which heats and and cools down based on the surrounding temperature. The cylindrical guard structure on the GWG-1000 just oozes class, and no amount of Bluetooth wizardry, or fancy features will ever make the GG-B100 an Apple Watch beater. In that case, the OG Mudmaster the GWG-1000 is a much better deal, since even if it cannot compete with a smartwatch, it still has features like barometer and compass, which are useful in the field and thanks to MultiBand6 it is very accurate, without the need of a phone. The GWG-1000 can compete with Swiss Luxury watches when it comes to shear build quality and legibility, while it simply outclasses every single watch ever made when it comes to durability. No one would ever pick a GG-B100 over a GWG-1000
@@LordTechPro 1st sappfire glass breaks more easy than mineral. Dome shape in made cuz of 2 different reasons - more durability and better visability - less glare. 2nd Multi band is just a useless gimmic, these watches are made to be 15 seconds a Mounth acurate, so pls dont even put this as a +! 3rd carbon is far supperior than steel, by looks, weight and durabily. There are much more functions - sunrise and sunset, steps, BT with mission log and location point, much better barrometeic sensor and more! And 4th, if anyone can compare g-shock to swiss watches, the LAST one they think will be gwg-1000 with its fake bolts on the watch face ;) Its bigger, heavyer and 2 times more expensive and you one must be crazy to get it instead of ggb100. The strap guards on the gbg100 of the back of watch are smaller and fits better to the hand. That crown on gwg is destroing your wrist, and is close to imposible to use, and every time you want to use the watch you need to wind it back, cuz it becoms huge weakpoint from witch watter can get inside. Oh and not that it matters, but it IS made in japan, the movement is japan, and case is ASSEMBLED in Thailand ;)
@@LordTechPro it coast 30$ to become saphire, but i dont need to downgrade my watch to more glare and less durable glass (only + is little more resistant to diamond cuts), just to make my pp go hard when i say "sapphire"
Forgot to add some more + of the ggb100 for the last time. Way better light illumination + second light for the screen, the ability to change the positon or turn off watch functions from the phone and more rugged strap with locking band keeper at the end of it. There is just no comparing between them, one is like a normal overpriced watch, the other is true inovation and attention to detail. But i see you are heavily biased, and you will never take your words back no matter how wrong they are. Anyway that was not the point with my comment, it was for the other ppl to not make wrong desizions based on your misleading video, by not recognizing all the points i had to make.

Hey everyone how're you doing? Right, I really should stop saying right. Right?
UPDATE: About 10 months after I filmed this video, the Patek Philippe's crown detached from the watch body during a routine winding and time setting operation. My Mudmaster GWG-1000 meanwhile has been abused its entire life (of 7 years), exposure to salt water, sand, mud, soaps etc and physical impacts including drop tests from the second floor. All the components including the digital crown are intact, the module has never malfunctioned and there isn't one single scratch, chip or crack on the sapphire crystal. Employ smug face
🙂
Smartarse be fucked off right ??
Just got the watch as well, loving it! Looks like we have similar watch philosophies: it has to be durable in any situation, useful in survival situation, doesn't track you and doesn't have any unnecessary (smart) features. I hate that people cry in Casio Mudmaster trailer video comments: "add Bluetooth please". Why?! It's just another thing that could break, it has to be a tank!
But I'm still a little bit salty that they didn't add sunset/rise, moon phase data and that bezel is not ceramic. This data is *super useful* for land use cases, it's "land flagship" after all.
Exactly! The Mudmaster was never targeted towards those who wanted a "smart" or "smarter" watch, it is untethered from any and all smart devices and should remain so. The sunset/sunrise feature is the only major or glaring omission in the Mudmaster, because prior to this I was wearing a GW-9400 Rangeman as a daily, and it was a super useful feature and is something I missed a lot (otherwise the GW-94000 is a pathetic G-SHOCK). As to the bezel, I believe stainless steel is more resistant in the long run because it will bend upon impact and not crack like ceramic. What Casio could have done was to put a DLC coating on the stainless steel bezel (like on the GPW-1000) to make it more scratch resistant. In my experience, Casio has definitely done something to the stainless steel bezel because it doesn't scratch very easily, but it may not be a DLC coating (because if it was they would have hyped about it in the promotion videos and other promotional material)
Yeah I rather have multi band 6 than Bluetooth don’t know how many prob Iv had trying to connect to Bluetooth on all devices
It’s jus like the movie “pacific rim”
Where the nuclear reactor Jaeger keeps running while the other advanced versions of jaeger falls down
A simple analogy
The second i seen this watch, I cashed in my Omega, worth in the K's. Have not regretted it one time. This is one watch that is worth the high price. I absolutely love this watch. I use it numerous times a day ither than time. If you have a general concept of barometric pressure, you can spot trends in pressure to give you a good idea of the weather. You see the pressure steadily increase, its gonna be nice. Super fast drop, equally opposite. A good thunderstorm will be pretty much predictable by steep dip in pressure. I LOVE LOVE THIS WATCH! This is gonna last you past the Apocalypse.
What a great piece of design.
Which Mudmaster did you get?
@@StardustLegacyFighter I got the G-Shock GWG2000. Had it a few days now and I can't find one single con. Best watch I ever owned. I got it on eBay for $525. Price tag is a little high but knowing what I know now, if I somehow lost this, I would have no problem paying the full $800 suggested price.
I have to force myself from staring at the G-Shock Metal ones. They are like $1200 but wow do they look good. Beautiful ❤️.
It definitely is worth the price! Yes, in general a decrease in barometric pressure over time is indicative of weather conditions becoming more severe/overcast while an increase in barometric pressure is usually indicative of clearer skies. The logic is that winds move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (just like use humans, who prefer low pressure areas lol).
I love the design of the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster because of the depth of the 3D dial, and the unbeatable clarity of the sapphire crystal on top, the readability is just otherworldly.
Thanks for watching, and stay tuned in for more such videos
The GWG-2000 is a great watch, but in my experience I have found it to be a bit on the smaller side, it still has a 3D face design but it’s more like the 3D TVs from 2010s kind of 3D rather than the IMAX theatre level of 3D depth seen on the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster. However, I will admit the newer GWG-2000 does fit on smaller to medium size wrists better, and it has more bling or wow factor thanks to the forged carbon and stainless steel bezel (whether that’s for the better or worse depends on person to person).
Agree totally with you..I wear my mudmaster on a daily basis..love the ruggedness of it.. very good review!!
The Mudmaster is the Master of watches.. Thanks for watching!!
Hello champion !!!
Between the two watches, GWG-2000-1A3ER and GWG-B1000-3AER. which one would you buy in your humble opinion with what you have already experienced in these two watches? Since the price is similar. (If there is also someone who can advise me, I would appreciate it in advance, THANK YOU!!!)
Hello! I would buy the GWG-1000 over the GWG-2000 and the GWG-B1000. I was excited upon first reading the GWG-B1000 announcement online, but to my utter dismay they have removed the time zone dial and the mode indicator hand. These two functions were what made the Mudmaster unique, in a sea of low to mid range watches. The OG Mudmaster is so good, I bought another one before just in case Casio stops building them
Thanks a lot !!! I think the same as you but, and I have also seen in other videos that some functions of the B 1000 -3AER do not work except with a mobile phone, (smartphone) such as, and I seem to remember, the return to game function with the compass.
@@SEVILLAETERNA You're welcome! I think the whole purpose of a watch is to help keep you untethered from your phone, which is why the non bluetooth GWG-1000 released way back in 2015 is the pick for me, I bought one in 2016, its been on my wrist for 7 years now, I have tens of G-SHOCKs but I always switch back to the Mudmaster GWG-1000 because of its not too large and not too small size, and MIND BLOWING legibility of the dial and hour markers thanks to the sapphire crystal and 3d face design
Thank you very much champion!!!
Well, it will be the one I buy then, although I had my eye on the GWG 2000-1 A3er which is costing 600 euros on sale.
Wouldn't the GWG 2000-1 A3er be better, in principle, because it is more modern than the GWG 1000?
Thanks in advance !!!
I have a Tag heuer automatic calibre 16 day/date, and I only use it when I go to an event or restaurant in the evening. The rest of the time I always wear one of my g-shock, they are so much better for daily use and I fucking love the design and how strong they are. I have been a G-shock fan for over 25 years. I bought my first G-shock with the salary of my very first job after I got graduated.
Still works perfectly today.
That is awesome to hear, Swiss watches are great no doubt, but Casios and G-SHOCKs in specific have another aura about them, one who wears a G-SHOCK doesn't give a f*ck about what others think about them and wearing a G-SHOCK in a sea of Rolexes guarantees one more attention, which wipes the superior smirk right off the owners of those Rolexes. G-SHOCK is God Tier
I also bought the gwg 1000. It is the best looking gshock. You did the best comparison analysis on youtube. Great job. My Rolex is going back in the safe!
Right on, the Mudmaster GWG-1000 just oozes quality. It is the perfect blend of toughness, practicality and design. Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated, and stay tuned in to LordTechPro!
Which one is more legible and easy to read
Is the new gwg more prone to scratches( the hard plastic on the bezel , forged carbon etc)
The GWG-1000 is much much muchhhh (for extra emphasis) more legible because it is larger, has more depth and full white hour markers. The Forged Carbon on the GWG-2000 is more resistant to scratches though, but I'm not sure about the metal bezel. So far mine has zero scratches but that's because I only wore it for a few weeks before switching back to the GWG-1000. The resin band keeper on the GWG-2000 does hide scratches better than the metal one on the GWG-1000 (which gets scuffed up very fast). Overall if you already have the GWG-1000 getting a GWG-2000 would be a downgrade (unless you want a smaller and lighter watch)
My friend, I also prefer the 1000 over the 2000. Your video shows why and your explanations are great. Thank you!
Casio really missed the mark with the GWG-2000, I went back to the GWG-1000 after a few weeks because I couldn't bear how much harder it was to read the time (because of the shallow depth and smaller dial size). You're welcome! Thanks for watching and stay tuned in to LordTechPro!
I loved the honesty of your review
Thank you and stay tuned in for more such videos!
Great video. Just got my GWG 2000. Wear it more than my Planet Ocean. Love your Bregeut by the way.(First one).
Obviously the 2000 is superior in most ways, but still like the 1000 as it's the original mudmaster
Thanks for watching, the Breguet is my Dad's watch and it is a true classic. However, I don't agree with you regarding the GWG-2000. The GWG-2000 has copious amounts of bling and less legibility, on account of the dial being more shallow and the hour markers being smaller plus grey. Also, it's not made in Japan. Casio just announced the GWG-B1000 and with the latest Mudmaster they have retraced their steps and now it's once again Made in Japan, there are more textured/matte surfaces on the new watch and visually it brings back the butch looks of the OG GWG-1000 Mudmaster
Nice video. Some comments regarding the GWG-2K vs the GWG-1K. The GWG-2K is lighter; thinner; it has better buttons; better crown; better materials (SS, CCG, FC vs plastic); softer straps; better lume; much better LCD display; city codes are now protected under the crystal. Even though the band keeper is resin, now it actually works.
Thanks for watching! The GWG-2000 is lighter and thinner, but not by much. While the button actuation is better, the buttons on the GWG-2000 feel like they've been made out of plastic, and the checkered buttons on the OG GWG-1000 are better built. I wouldn't say the GWG-2000 is better built, but yes it does have better quality materials in its construction. I don't like the fact tha the City Codes are no longer in their own IP plated ring on the outside, because now they just fade into oblivion and also clutter the main watch face too much. The LCD display is noticeably better but I prefer the earlier metal band keeper, the resin band keeper looks out of place and does not match the metal buckle and tongue. To keep the band keeper resin, Casio should have IP plated the metal parts in black and used a black resin band keeper, to create a better sense of rhythm. On the whole the original GWG-1000 Mudmaster feels more special as the greater attention to detail and engineering time spent on it is noticeable at the very first glance.
@@fishwagt1514 I would rather not turn those heads and have more depth and better "3D face design" so that it's easier to tell the time at a glance, than to turn the heads of some people who don't even know the true value of G-SHOCKs. G-SHOCKs are God tier. If I really want people to turn their heads and notice the watch I'm wearing, I simply wear my Full Metal (stainless steel) gold IP plated Square, the GMW-B5000-BD9DR: ruclips.net/video/SEn94Gd5FuA/видео.html
Now this watch is designed with uber style in mind, completely blinged out and in your face. You know what the problem with the GWG-2000 is? It simply has too much bling. If you use it in the environment it was designed to be used in (the great outdoors) your eyes physically start to hurt. I just want to tell the time in just one glance, and what do I get? What do I get? A face full of sunlight being reflected by the polished surfaces of the metal bezel. After you've had it happen to you a couple of times, you reach the end of your tether. I just want to read the time, I don't care how much bling it has or who notices the bloody watch. Other G-SHOCKs were specifically designed for the aforementioned, but they are not "daily" watches. The Mudmaster is simply on another level when it comes to comfort and readability, but they had to mess it up and cause physical discomfort to make it "better".
Yak yak yak. The GWG 1000 1-A-3 looks better more rugged ALOT more tactical and just all around MANLIER than the 2000.
@@fishwagt1514 The 2000 looks cheap and nasty IMO. LOL
@@Nightmareman3 True! The GWG-2000 is closer to a 2D face design will the OG Mudmaster GWG-1000 has a really good 3D watch face. The GWG-1000 is like a sleeper watch, no unnecessary bling or add ons, if you know what it is then you appreciate it. If you don't know anything about G-SHOCKs (or watches in general), you will still notice how easy it is to read the time on the GWG-1000. It's so good that Casio themselves don't know how to make it better
I'm glad I went with the GWG-1000 and not the GWG-2000.
There are plenty of ppl here saying that the newer Mudmaster is the superior watch, but they clearly forget that it's not meant to be a flashy watch.
If I want to wear a fairly tough solar powered atomic watch in places where the GWG-1000 would look comically out of place, I'd rather just wear my Skyhawk than own a GWG-2000.
Finally, someone who understands the charm of the GWG-1000. Thank you for commenting dear sir! The GWG-2000 offers no additional features when compared to the GWG-1000 but is more expensive, has more bling and a smaller (less legible) dial and hour markers. Also, not only is the stainless steel bezel more "bling" it is also more prone to scratches/dents.
I finally managed to solve the hard and sticky button issue on the GWG-1000. Also, made a video on it for anyone else who is facing the same issue.
Hey buddy @LordTechPro very nice video there. Loved watching it. The GWG-1000 is my favourite watch too and i also modded the one that i wear every day with a pvd coated black metal bracelet.
Something I want to add to what you said- The GGB-100 also has a metal backplate but its under the resin cover.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned in to @LordTechPro! I saw your Mudmaster with the Jays & Kays adapter on it, it looks cool! Yes I know the GGB-100 has a metal backplate under the resin cover but it is not going to be felt on your wrist. Metal feels cool to the touch on the wrist and hence the Mudmaster GWG-1000 connects to your mind better
I think anyone who looks at a G Shock, is not looking for beauty, but toughness, capability, built for a purpose. The GWG 1000 does this beautifully, and then some. It's abilities are fantastic, and it puts a smile on my face, every time I look at it. I came from the generation that used a slide rule as our calculator, and I appreciate a tool that works all the time, every time. The GWG 1000 is king of them all, and if it's too much watch for you, Casio makes tamer, daintier G Shocks, with the corners, and cool knocked off, if less is your thing. I couldn't say no to a GWG 1000 1A 3 JD, that's the green strap, Jspan domestic market, hand made, with sapphire glass. It cost over $800.00 Can, but the quality is worth every penny. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Couldn't agree more, my most favourite G-SHOCK is and probably always be the MUDMASTER GWG-1000-3ADR, it is a masterpiece, so good that I bought another one, just to have one in mint condition in my collection before Casio stops production
You Are Absolutely right Mr. Lord Tech Pro 😀
0:39 Great - Did not miss anywhere
-All perfect
Thanks for watching 😀
My $20 Casio watch, is more accurate more durable more water proof than a Swiss made watch.
I cant even use my Swiss made watch because of the heat where I live for 3 months out of the year.
Swiss watch makers need to step up to the plate, because while they are really beautiful to look at, so is any other high end fake..
My late wife's G-shock cost $150 , it has never gone wrong, it has Atomic time and Solar, and way more complications.
I will never ever buy another expensive Swiss made watch, you are buying a name.
I wouldn't necessarily say that. Casio watches are no doubt very good at telling the time all the time. However, Swiss watches are simply in a different league. You don't buy a mechanical Swiss luxury watch just to tell the time, they are pieces of art which simply happen to also tell the time. The engineering and craftsmanship that goes into a Swiss luxury watch is unparalleled
got that few months ago, I barely wear my automatic watch. this thing really comfortable for daily driving.
💯 You can wear the Mudmaster anywhere and everywhere without having a single worry. Truly stress free, and super comfortable on the wrist. Automatics have their own advantages and feel special, but in terms of daily driving you can’t beat a G-SHOCK
Any day of the week,no huge service bills,can take a knock and nobody is going to mug you for it.Great watch.
Precisely, the Mudmaster is a BEAST
I got a raise at work and I'm celebrating with a G-Shock. Throwing budget out the window for the first time, so this makes me laugh (and feel better). Patek pah! Mudmaster or Gulfmaster, this is my question.
Congratulations! Since filming this video the Patek's crown broke off during winding and I was disappointed yet smug at the same time, because my Mudmaster has been brutally treated its entire life (of nearly 7 years) yet nothing has broken or malfunctioned. G-SHOCKs are built different
Gulfmaster has the most sensors out of an G-Shock ever made, but there have been more reported issues with it when compared to its brethren the Mudmaster.
Excellent Points
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned in for more such points
I totally agree with you. I have a watch collection and the GWG-1000 is the king of all of them. Thanks for the great video!
No doubt! Thanks for watching!
Damn I actually watched the whole thing
G shocks aren't a dress watch though they serve different functions. But I'm all in for a post apocalyptic survival watch because this is a tool that I can rely on
That said these gwg s still seem way too big for my tiny boy wrist for pre apocalyptic everyday wear
Do you have any experience with the protreks they seem to strike a good balance on that regard, been researching on a good model to buy, thinking with hands or strictly LCD displays
Well you shouldn't worry about your wrist size with the GWGs they have these wings or tabs at the lugs which hug your wrists and spread out the weight evenly over a larger surface area. Pro Treks are also a good option to consider from Casio as they are still pretty robust and much thinner which makes them great for daily wear. However, a Pro Trek can never meet the same stringent standards a G-SHOCK must pass, furthermore wearing a G-SHOCK is a powerful statement and it is one thing you can wear for every single activity without a worry entering your mind
Excellent review. When wearing a watch you need it to be strong and reliable regardless of the situation. Being solar powered is a big tick. Casio Mudmaster slays all watches before it. Currently have a Casio Mudman g9300, having the itch to also get mudmaster with solar like the one you have. That is my grail watch. Lost all interest in Swiss brands.
Well said! Swiss watches have their own charm no doubt, but according to me, true luxury is when you don't need to worry about anything, and G-SHOCK gives one that peace of mind. You can take it swimming, diving, rock climbing, trekking, through mud, rain and snow and it will operate flawlessly year after year after year. Take that Patek!
Love my gwg-2000 except for the plastic buckle, it should be metal.
This! Precisely this is what is missing on the GWG-2000 (although if I'm sure that you're referring to the band keeper, because the buckle on the GWG-2000 is made out of metal). If not metal, they should have blacked out the metal buckle and the resin band keeper, to create a certain sense of rhythm along with the other blacked out parts on the watch.
@@fishwagt1514 Well that is your opinion, but that is not my point. They way they integrated the resin band keeper is utterly hideous, it doesn't match the colour scheme or overall aesthetics of the watch at all. They should have made it in a contrasting colour like black, and IP coated the metal buckle and tongue in black as well. As for the metal vs resin debate, metal feels more weighty and premium, and the scratches add character to a G-SHOCK. If you're worried about scratching your G-SHOCKs that means you are not using them to their full potential or stretching them to the limits.
@@fishwagt1514 Because plastic is cheap and has no emotion
@@fishwagt1514 Exactly. That isn't in contact with your wrist all the time. You scratch a plastic bezel, the scratches are hidden better and you can easily get a replacement bezel for cheap. You fail to understand, the bezel is plastic for a reason, you don't touch it all the time and it's supposed to recede into the background. Here's an analogy, with the iPhone SE 2020, Apple switched to using only black bezels, because they are not the focus, the display is. Similarly with watches, the bezel is not supposed to emote more or shine over the watch face (doing so serves no practical purpose)
The buckle is metal, it's the band keeper which is resin.
Most of us loves a Swiss auto diving watch, yet none of us goes actually diving. Most of us, likes a beauty mechanical Racing Chrono, while just 1 or 2 will actually attend the Formula 1. Same for aviation or military watches. I'm pretty sure that most of us buy a watch simply because we like it.
I don't think Casio made the 2K as a replace of the 1K, I understand them as 2 different variants of the same line for 2 different purposes/buyers. Also I know people who have both, and treated them that way; 1000 for abuse and sports activities and 2K for daily/casual/weekend watch.
If you see the 2000 this way; you will notice that the untextured buttons are better, the city-codes ring is less distracting cause it's underneath now. The numbers on the dial are a bit smaller as well the overall dimensions, making it more wearable. The polished inner angle of the SS bezel is more flashy for the looks, as well the Carbon Fiber and the new protruding lugs, making the watch more elegant and eye-catching,
Don't think these 2 pieces deserves to compete, both are great in their own areas and Casio can reach a new fans community.
Agree with the band keeper; it must be metalic or black resin. Disagree with the "no Japan made anymore is bad", nowadays that's something just the purists continues saying to themselves.
However calling the 2000 a Blingsy watch and the 1000 as the perfect survival tool, might be exaggerated; aftermarket diamond on a Richard Mille or Invicta for the Bling, and a Pro-Trek or GW-9400 for the Zombie Apocalypse.
That is precisely the point. The Mudmaster is not supposed to be flashy, the various other models such as the Gravitymasters, MTGs, G-Steel etc take care of that aspect.
Furthermore, the GWG-1000 is the same price as the GWG-2000 (if bought new) but there are dozens of used GWG-1000s which thanks to the sapphire crystal, look close to brand new. If these owners were to let go of their GWG-1000s and purchase a GWG-2000, they would not gain any additional features, but instead find it harder to read the time, and over time the steel bezel would show scratches more easily, thus reducing the perceived elegance (the GWG-2000 is not elegant, it may be smaller and thinner, but it is still a large bulky watch in comparison to Swiss watches)
Also, comparing the two side by side, one understands why the Made in Japan watch is built better, the GWG-1000 feels rock solid (from the resin bezel down to the buttons and case back) while the buttons on the GWG-2000 have more play to them, the wings around the lugs creaks, the resin band keeper feels sticky, and makes a squeaky noise when you move it along the band.
Overall, the GWG-2000 may use more "exotic" materials (forged carbon fibre, stainless steel bezel) but the overall build quality is not up to the GWG-1000s standards.
So this is just an ill executed cash grab by Casio, which is one of the reasons why they are releasing so many "Limited Edition" versions of the GWG-2000, so limited in facts that these versions are more commonly seen than the standard GWG-2000 colour ways
Speak for yourself, I wear the GWG-1000 daily and I don't ever feel that it's too big or unwearable in situations where the GWG-2000 is normally suited to.
I'd consider the Frogman to be a far more premium G-Shock than the GWG-2000, and its use of metal parts is done to a much higher standard.
The design of the GWG-2000 is objectively worse, and you'd be wholly ignorant to see things a different way.
The display is smaller, the digits are smaller, the mode dial looks like a christmas tree, the sapphire glass protrudes out too much, the lugs are too long, the button textures are weird, the band keeper is cheaper, etc...
The only two things the GWG-2000 improves upon its predecessor is the metal crown and the actuation of the buttons, however both don't bother me as I rarely operate the crown and my fingers are tough.
@@StardustLegacyFighter 100%. Whatever Casio may say, the fact is Sapphire is Sapphire and Sapphire cracks/chips when it comes into direct contact with the floor when dropped from a height. The GWG-1000 has a fantastic bezel which covers the edges of the sapphire crystal (the most vulnerable part) and only leaves the centre of the crystal exposed. The hour and minute markers are bigger, and the metal parts look shiny when new, but over time the scratches, dents and scuffs on the stainless steel bezel will be more visible.
However, the display on the GWG-1000 and the GWG-2000 are the exact same in terms of dimension. The display itself is slightly better on the GWG-2000 (better viewing angles), and it has a blue tinge to the LCD, but since its a negative display on both anyway, the display isn't the main focus of these mostly analogue watches.
Forgman's such as the GWF-1000 are a much better fit, as it combines the best of bost materials, the metal case is on the inside and not the outside, meaning it provides greater shear strength, extra resistance to compressive forces, while the resin casing absorbs the forces of impacts while also not exhibiting scratches as easily
@@LordTechPro No difficulties reading the time on the 2000, numbers are big, on the 1000 they were clowny huge.
It's nearly impossible to scratch de steel bezel cause it's protected by enormous forged-carbon guards. I´ve been abusing it daily for 1 year and it doesn't have any scratches, neither on the bezel or the case.
Not saying that 2000 is an elegant watch as a swiss watch, saying that´s more elegant than the 1000.
No play at all on the buttons of my 2000, no lug-crack on mine, the resin band is "perfection", it stays in place grabbing the band with no strange sounds.
Don't know were you live, but on Amazon, most online commerce, and physical stores as well; until today you can easily find the 3 main color-ways. The "Toyota", and the "red one" are way more difficult to find.
@@pappanatasThe whole point of the Mudmaster lineup is not elegance lol, it's absolute toughness, elegance is for the full metal Casioak or Squares to show off.
The GWG-2000 has already been made redundant with the arrival of the new Mudmaster, which actually borrows more of its design language from the OG Mudmaster a lot more than the GWG-2000.
The smaller dial on the newer Mudmasters have been a huge downgrade, because it makes the face look shrunken, and impacts legibility.
The overall design of the GWG-2000 is nowhere near as clean as the OG Mudmaster, and it doesn't matter if it used more resin instead of stainless steel for the face, at least sapphire glass crystal doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
Magnificent Mudmaster
A very apt name, introducing The Magnificent Mudmaster!
I never compared mechanical and digital battery watches since they are totally different and worth much less and always will. But I guess I can wear it on weeding since I need to know all the time altitude and temperature. Also it’s important to use compass in office so I can orient myself 🤣😜
I will buy one soon, I must have that candy.. and I need it since I go wandering in wilderness. Otherwise I would not need it.
Nice one, however, mechanical watches don't have the same level of build quality nor match the level of toughness that G-SHOCKS are built to. Mechanical watches have a lot of intricate parts which need to be follow millimetres or even micrometers of tolerance, a simple fall from the desk or improper turning of the crown (either to wind the watch or set the date) can be catastrophic for the watch and lead to thousand dollar repairs. Most Casios don't even cost $1000 they are around $100 on average, and are God Tier watches which always tell the time, no matter what
@@NaviNavi-1uu8tg Congrats on the decision to buy one, it will be the toughest watch you have
I wear the Rangeman everyday and I don't feel the weight at all. It's very comfortable too.
The Rangeman is a great watch, but against the Mudmaster the winner is very clear, the Mudmaster is lighter and has curved wings near the lugs which distribute the weight over a larger surface area. Thus, the Mudmaster stays put on your wrist and therefore you almost forgot you're even wearing it. With the Rangeman that same fit around your wrist cannot be achieved, and you notice the mass (which is already higher) a lot more when you're on the move
@@LordTechPro I have a range man too I’m thinking of making the switch, is it noticeably stick out more ?
@xlilnetx If you're thinking about switching to the Mudmaster, then it's actually of a lesser thickness to the GPS Rangeman.
It's slightly thinner than the original Rangeman too.
Hello ,
Which colour is better this one or the monochrome grey one ?
For sure this Military Green one the GWG-2000-1A3. Casio uses this very colour of the Mudmaster in every promotional content they put out and thereby it means the most amount of time has been spent on perfecting this version. The other versions are simply present to create an illusion of choice, the green one is the one you should buy
@@LordTechPro umm
I just don’t like the green strap, I would have buyed it if had a black strap
Btw is there any legibility difference between the two colours ?
@@Fake.1 Yes there is a big legibility difference, the hour markers and numerals on the green version are easier to read and stand out more from the dial (because the numerals are white on the green and grey on the black)
@@Fake.1You can buy a JaysAndKays adaptor kit from ebay to allow the Mudmaster to fit any 24mm strap.
That's exactly what I did with mine, and it's amazing.
Ya It's True 🙂
Superrrrr And Nice explanatin and conclusion
All the Best 😁💗 For Your Next videos ☺️😉 Waiting For It 🙂
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned in to LordTechPro!
Great video thanks. You should look at the GPW-2000. One of the only triple sync G-Shocks and super legible. One of my absolute favourites. By the way I really like the long form of this video. Most watch videos are too short in my opinion. I also really liked experiencing your initial reaction. This is also pretty rare in watch videos, sadly.
Thanks for watching! I have already looked at the GPW-2000, and I actually bought it while I was in Japan, I've made a video on it too: ruclips.net/video/sg6K7jT0BYY/видео.html. It is one of my favourites due, wholly due to it debuting the Triple Sync functionality (which makes it the only non MRG G-SHOCK model to have ever have this feature). The GPW-2000 is super legible in all lighting conditions with its 3D face design but it just doesn't feel special. I say this because I also have its predecessor the GPW-1000 (which has both Multi Band 6 and GPS time sync capabilities) and it is simply much better in everything else. The buttons feel better built, the Digital Crown has such an intricate design with a much easier to use single step locking and unlocking mechanism (as opposed to the long drawn screw in type mechanism found on the newer GPW-2000, which takes forever to unscrew and then re-screw). The GPW-1000 also has grey brushed metal buttons on the right side and a resin button on the left side, but all the buttons on the GPW-2000 look and feel as if they're plastic, and the chrome on the right ones looks gaudy, because that colour or materiality is not repeated anywhere else on the watch (except for the backplate, which you can't see when you're wearing it. Most importantly, the GPW-1000 has a DLC coated bezel, a contrasting IP plated city dial and a much more interesting watch face, which makes it feel more premium. The GPW-2000 is good, but I can't help thinking why I shouldn't just wear the GPW-1000 instead, because it has all the same features, a much better build but of course sans the Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. The latest Gravitymaster GWR-B1000 is probably the best in terms of build quality, but I just hate that Casio removed the awesome Triple Sync Functionality, which just makes it too boring and run of the mill. Yes, most of the videos on RUclips nowadays are too short (and RUclips shorts will further encourage them), glad that you liked this format!
@@LordTechPro Thanks for your comprehensive response. Keep up the good work.
@@ianmaw66 You're welcome, sure will do. Thanks for watching.
Have the desert sand version of the watch. Boy is it a joy to wear this......uncomparable watch.
The MUDMASTER is the MASTER of the watch world, it's so good that Casio themselves don't know how to make it (as the new GWG-2000 is not as good as the OG GWG-1000)
The 2 best watches out their mudmaster gwg 1000 and gpr rangeman both are like tanks.. Rolex would break not vibration/ shock resistant!
I agree 100%, the MUDMASTER GWG-1000 is the peak G-SHOCK, no other G-SHOCK new or old comes close to it in terms of toughness, durability, legibility and comfort. The RANGEMAN GPR-B1000 is not the everyday and anytime watch the GWG-1000 is, but it is the most advanced G-SHOCK Casio has every released till date. Lately Casio has been downsizing and removing redundant features on their G-SHOCKs and releasing special colour ways as a "MUST HAVE FEATURE" which I am not at all a fan of as the G-SHOCKs I grew up with were the smartwatches of their time, and the newer ones have less features than them. It is unacceptable.
@@LordTechPro The GPR-1000 got discontinued after only 2 years of production, whereas the GWG-1000 is still in limited production.
That to me says a lot about the reception that Casio got about drastically changing the Rangeman.
Imo, they should have directly improved upon the GW-9400, by adding a sapphire glass crystal and giving it a MIP display, without changing the overall looks and swapping MB6 for Bluetooth.
Can you wear a mudmaster for formal ocassions?
I have
Yes you can, it's an incredibly bold statement
It fits on every ocassion trust me, suit...jeans,...casual...smart ...uniform every thing !!
there is a watch that gives the time and the other watch it is up to you to give it to him
True, which one would you take and which one would you wear on a daily basis? Are they different or is it the same watch?
@@LordTechPro i have gpr-b1000 and gwg-1000 she gives me the time but i have rolex president and seiko 5 but it's up to me to tell him the time . having a watch that tells you the time is pretty amazing to me so i choose g-shock for everyday
@@kalach7648 Same, I wore the GWG-1000 for over 5 years, now I'm wearing the GWG-2000. One of the best G-SHOCKs you can buy right now in my humble opinion. The mix of features, materials, legibility, toughness and design are all unbelievable for the price. The GWG-1000 is an even better deal right now
@@LordTechPro the gwg-2000 is good but I don't understand why they did that. the next step is a gwg-3000 without more options but with better materials? you did not ask yourself the question?
@@kalach7648 I don't quite understand what you mean to say. The GWG-2000 is already a big step up in terms of materials, and the Mudmaster was never meant to be the features champ, that place has always been held by the Rangeman, first with the GW-94000 and now with the GPR-B1000. Something I would like to see on the GWG-3000 (or whatever they call the next mudmaster) is a sunset/sunrise mode
Mudmaster is also magnetic resistant I go magnet fishing!
Magnet fishing? What is that
You are absolutely right I’ve had a Rolex gmt master 11 for 21 years and I’ve just got the gwg 2000 and I’ve it for two days and it’s by far the better watch 👌
I suggest you try the GWG-1000 too, it is Made in Japan (the GWG-2000 is made in Thailand) and has far superior attention to detail and is also more rugged, has a bigger dial, bigger hour markers and is easier to read. It is so good in fact that Casio are selling the old GWG-1000 and new GWG-2000 at the same price, and weirdly in some cases the older GWG-1000 costs more due to demand from Casio collectors who want a genuine fully Made in Japan G-SHOCK.
only GWG-2000-1A3JF is a Japan local made cost £990 in the UK
You are mistaken, only the GWG-1000 is made in Japan, the GWG-2000 is made in Thailand
GWG2000 not receive the respect that deserves, for some reason the model not like to collectors being that offer many improves. Better looks, slimer, lighter, more confortable, more legible lcd display, better button push reponses, better iluminator light, better construction with carbon core, better button seal system again water, mud and moisture, carbon in vessel grips. The complaining is all about the metal ring and carbon grips that looks more fragile againts scratches, a lot preffer the resing ring, at the end, both damage equally but yes, is more expensive the new models parts, but is a merely astetic detail, if you dont use the watch to smash things is not fair called an inferior version and deserves more respect. I dont see the problem.
The problem is the Mudmaster is no longer hand built in Japan and is also mass produced. Collectors prefer a watch which has a story to it. The GWG-2000 is nothing but a cash grab, it doesn't introduce anything new, the Carbon Core guard was already out, the mud resistant button pushers were first introduced in the GPR-B1000 Rangeman and the analogue part of the watch is much much less legible than on the GWG-1000. One won't use the more legible LCD every single time you glance at the watch, but compare it back to back with a GWG-1000 and one will realise how much more legible the GWG-1000 is. The new materials like the forged carbon, and stainless steel bezel all look amazing, but the button pushers themselves feel plasticky and no longer have the checkered pattern on them. The GWG-2000 is a reskinned GWG-1000 and that is why the GWG-1000 is also selling for almost the same price new, it's just as good as the newer model (because both of them are the exact same)
@@LordTechPro Honestly, is a merely cuestionable opinion, also only a small amount of GWG1000 model are made in japan, the improve of quality materials of next generation would made the watch extreme expensive if continue use japan factory only for the tha assemble. The price is the same for only the cost of japan assembly factories The "made in japan" purist made me laugh. In other hand GWG1000 looks gross and very plastic, is a clearly more coarse watch with a very old design structure. But the toxicity of comunity experts is insane. At last the carbon guards and metal bezel are the real deal, for the purist are crying. GWG2000 is a very better watch in all matters.
@LordTechPro I don't think it's fair to criticise where the watch is built, because not all GWG-1000 Mudmasters were even built in Japan.
Casio has been manufacturing reliable watches in multiple countries across Asia, and I've not heard anyone complain about them as much as brands like Seiko.
I do agree that the GWG-2000 is overhyped and not worth the purchase for most sensible ppl, but it's still a solid watch.
I was set on buying the GWG-2000, but after seeing that the Sapphire Glass protrudes out, I went for the GWG-1000 instead.
@beowulfforce The GWG-2000 being "better" is also very questionable, considering that it's constructed using more premium materials, but it doesn't actually mean it's more rugged.
I know ppl who have already damaged the steel bezel and carbon guards, and it looks terrible.
Also, repair costs are much higher, due to the nature of the parts that make up the construction.
I feel like the GWG-2000 would only be worth it if Casio offered a much longer warranty, or you're the type of person who would treat the Mudmaster like a dress watch.
Oof ill take mudmaster any day. I don't like how the expensive one looks, honestly.
Will they do have widely different design philosophies, one is tough and oversized, while the other is elegant and at a more regular size. I think both look good, but each to their own
Excelente Comparativa. 👏
Gracias por ver
“You should be able to wear your watch in every situation” yeahhhh I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that G Shock with a dress shirt at my office. Even though I love the watch it’s clearly an outdoorsy casual watch. Comparing Patek and Rolex to a gshock is an odd comparison
If you are worried about what others think about your decision to wear a certain watch, you are not the target consumer for G-SHOCK. We G-SHOCK fans don't give a f about what others think
@@LordTechPro I own 14 g shocks from mudmasters to MRGs but sure I’m not the target audience lol still doesn’t change my opinion that a Mudmaster looks corny with a dressy outfit
@@krispybowgod9656 No you are not.
The watch is made in japan (the motor is made in japan) and assembled in Thailand. Like a BMW, Apple Tesla etc
Still it shows the GWG-2000 has undergone cost cutting and the watch on the whole doesn't feel cohesive. The GWG-1000 has much better fit and finish
@@LordTechPro the watch shows itself cohesive as a tank with certain nuances of MTG.....do you have any? I have two 2000s and I sold the 1000. See my cohesive thoughts.
@@pedrovorpholiveira9154 I have a couple of MTGs and its laughable that you are comparing their fit and finish with the GWG-2000. The GWG-2000 has not been thought out properly, no one asked for a metal bezel that scratches easily in the conditions a Mudmaster is worn in. The GWG-2000 is much smaller than the GWG-1000 and as a result the face isn't 3D like it used to be. When one is in the field they don't want a watch which is blingy, light and small. As you have put it, the MTG exists to serve the blingy, metal encased and mid size G-SHOCK market. The GWG-2000 is a pure crash grab from Casio, the least they could have done is added bluetooth functionality and given it sunrise/sunset time capability like the GG-B100. Heck they should have given it the carbon fibre bezel from the GG-B100 too, the bling metal bezel is just odd on a field watch.
It's not just the motor, the entire module is made in Japan.
Hey what is your wrist size?
About 6.5 inches (but it varies). I wear the new Mudmaster on the 5th lug hole usually but if it's cold I move down to the 4th lug hole. There's plenty of adjustment left if even you have smaller or bigger wrists as there are wings or tabs near the lugs which grip your wrist and spread out the weight evenly no matter the wrist size
Ofcourse you're entitled to your opinion, but it's so not true that the GG-B100 is garbage. It's not a follow up of the gwg1000, but an entirely different product. But if you like, see it as a newer edition of the gg-1000 series. Those mudmasters are also without tough solar, MB6 en sapphire. The GG-B100 has the most functionality (quad sensor) and its modes are completely customizable in the app and the glass is domed. I'd even argue its a better bang for your buck (the regular version) than the gwg1000 and gwg2000. And yes, I have these watches so I'm able to compare them.
The GGB100 is garbage. The Rangeman GW-9400 has all the same features as the GG-B100 and it has Tough Solar and MultiBand 6 capability and it was introduced in 2013. The mode being customisable in the app doesn't add much to the user experience. The GG-B100 has a mediocre watch face with nonexistent finishing, a resin backplate cover with feels cheep and all your money is spent on the carbon fibre bezel and monocoque.
@@LordTechPro GW-9400 is arguably the best budget friendly Master of G.
I think the GG-B100 isn't as bad as you say it is, and having held the watch in my hands it actually feels more premium than the Rangeman.
If someone is in need of a Master of G watch with an ana-digi display, the GG-B100 is hard to beat, imo.
That watch is huugggeee 😂
If you think that is huge you really need to see the big daddy the Rangeman GPR-B1000, this watch is a monster: m.ruclips.net/video/vXBkTlA7EYM/видео.html
100% Casio is better, more amazing and expensive no
Totally agree, however Patek has its own charm and is pure class
It has great ruggedness and needs the buttons to be like this. If it hurts your hand, maybe you need a Baby G. 😉 Try playing some rugby or go to the gym and get yourself some man's hands.
That's what you need to do. Do enlighten me, what exercises can you do to harden the tips of your fingertips? Found one that doesn't make your skin rough as sandpaper (which no one wants except you perhaps)
@@LordTechPro If you are using hand held weights they tend to toughen up the fingers without making the skin hard. It basically thickens it over time. I do a lot of mountaineering and that definitely strengthens your hands and toughens them up. Rowing is also great, either on the water or a rowing machine. Both are fine No matter what activity you do, just make sure to use some kind of moisturizer afterwards, you'll get the toughness and won't have hard rough skin.
@@brianmsahin I've already done all of that (except for the rowing). You crawl through mud first and then try and push the buttons, the new Mudmaster GWG-2000 is simply better engineered. Hell, even my easy to break Rangeman GW-9400 is Mud Resist and still has a very nice button actuation even after 9 years
Those coasters were funny. Silly promotional inclusion, but I thought it was entertaining haha
😂😂 I didn't know what else they put in the cover, I just checked if the watch was working, had them put it inside the box and left. Still, it was free
If it wasnt for egos
😂, thanks for watching and stay tuned in to LordTechPro
yes, i very like review for you!!
Yay, thank you!
Gwg 2000 is much better, in materials, than the 1000. In my opinion much more preetier, because of his stainless steel bezel
That is not the point. If you have a GWG-1000 there is no benefit in getting a GWG-2000. Both of them are selling for about the same price new, because the GWG-1000 is made in Japan while the GWG-2000 is not. The GWG-1000 has a much bigger dial which makes it easier to read the time, so overall in everyday use, the GWG-1000 is the pick
@@LordTechPro is not true. the price of the Mudmaster 1000 is inflated like a 1950's classic car.
@@pedrovorpholiveira9154 Even more reason to buy the GWG-1000. Many retailers are selling at the list price. If the price is "inflated" it just goes to show the demand is incredibly high and that is because the GWG-1000 is the real deal while the GWG-2000 is not worth it
@@pedrovorpholiveira9154No it's not, I got one for much cheaper than the GWG-2000.
50,000 inr = $650 USD
Yes, and your point is?
And the GW 9400 (300€) is better than the GWG 2000 (749€) 😏
Features yes, everything else? Nope. The GW-9400's lugs are as fragile as little twigs
@@LordTechPro la mudmaster coûte juste plus cher pour aucune raison. Elle a moins de fonctions que la gw 9400 et elle est juste plus stylée. Excuse moi mais ne pas mettre le lever et coucher du soleil ni le compteur de pas sur une montre soit disant pour les aventuriers ou militaires c'est juste inadmissible surtout au prix de 749€.
Certes, la mudmaster a plus de metal que la gw 9400 et un verre sapphir mais ca ne justifie en rien 450€ de plus par rapport au prix de la gw9400. De plus la rangeman est personnalisable si on se lasse du bezel et du bracelet actuel alors que la mudmaster non. Un bezel de gw 9400 peut s'acheter neuf pour 18€ en France. Donc niveau rapport qualité/fonction/prix la rangeman est meilleure et elle est très résistante aussi. La mudmaster se déforme au moindre petit choc sur le carbone forgé qui n'est pas très solide d'après plusieurs retours d'acheteurs (sur un groupe facebook français dont je fais parti). Il n'y a pas aussi la fonction SNOOZE sur la dernière alarme comme sur la rangeman. Cette fonction est très utile pour un réveil....
@@montremoica conclusion it depends what are you more like it
@@montremoica is not very solid ? Lol then if rangeman 9400 got the carbon fiber forged are you want to say the same things ? Imaoooo bro 😪😪😪😌😌😌💀💀💀💀
Both are better becoz is G shock. More importantly to me is mile better than other brand like Rolex LOL........
F 91-w is a better time piece than Patek
No way, you can’t compare a F 91-W to a Patek. A Mudmaster can be compared because of its build quality, it’s creak free, doesn’t flex at all, and it uses premium materials such as sapphire crystal, carbon fibre, and like a Patek, it charged automatically (Patek is an automatic movement, while Mudmaster uses a solar powered movement). These two watches are built to the highest standard and are meant to last for decades if not centuries. The F91-W great as it is, is not the same, there have been issued documented with the quality of resin used in its construction (and many cheaper G-Shocks also) which becomes sticky or flaky over time.
@@LordTechPro F 91-w is a better time piece than any Patek ever. Better accuracy, more reliability, superior endurance, incredible energy storage etc.
The specs of a Mudmaster transcend Patek.
Dont compare apple to banana 🤣
Why not? Both of them are food 🤣. However, the Mudmaster is more accurate, more legible and much much more tougher than a Patek (or any other Swiss watch for that matter). G-SHOCK is God Tier
Agree both are food but both serve different purposes I mean provide different vitamins 😁
@@tauseefkhan9920 That is why you need both 😁
Yes but not everyone can own a patek.
You are filthy rich bro 😋
@@tauseefkhan9920 Only the G-SHOCKs are mine, I borrowed the rest bro 😋
Yeah. Try wearing that monster with a suit and tie to a wedding. You’ll not only look ridiculous but your shirts and coat will never be anything but all bunched up
It won't, wearing a G-SHOCK with a suit gets one more looks and style points in a sea of dull and boring traditional luxury watches like Rolexes, APs and Patek. It's a great conversation starter and that is the whole point of attending a wedding (that and the food of course)
The Rangeman GW 9400 is the worst G-shock ever made!? And the GWG can be worn on elegant occasions like on a wedding!? Maybe your fake Patek is a better choice. #facepalm
The GW-9400 is the weakest G-SHOCK ever made, it passed my Torture Test, but soon after I finished filming I notices that all 4 lugs on the watch had broken and became detached from the main resin case, the bands are now only held onto the watch by the soft resin bezel (and the watch bands tend to come off when running, swimming etc due to this flaw). Furthermore, just because you say it is a fake Patek doesn't make it a fake Patek Philippe
The build quality for that Rangeman is utter garbage.
It's such a shame, because it has the best digital module on a G-Shock.
@@LordTechProYou honestly wouldn't believe the number of Rangeman fanboys I come across when I mention how poor the build quality is.
These guys are utterly delusional, and all they do is baby their Rangeman, when it's clearly supposed to be abused.
The ggb100 is far supperior watch from all the mudmasters till this day. It have functions that no other have, full carbon, light and WAY more comfartable, 2 times less expencive and more... You dont even know what are talking about, like you dont know how to move the arrow's away, or that behind the carbon-plastic back there is one more steel one for extra protection. Allso it have new and better style buttons that need less force to press, and the best of all - gone is this stuped and practicaly unreachable crown, that you need to constantly wind and uwind every time you try to do something with the watch! The only thing that is missing from ggb100 is solar, and that is made on purpose, cuz if it had it Casio will say bb to sales of the gwg series ;) Oh and more thing cuz i heard you say about the build quality, you know that on this GWG the bolts on the front bezzel are fake, and on the GGB are real :D ?
The GG-B100 does not have sapphire crystal, it is not made in Japan, and for being made with “full carbon” the proportions on it are just not right, it feels too thick, and the domed glass does not help matters either. It is inconsequential if there is a steel plate beneath the plastic plate, as on the wrist, it is cheap plastic which is felt, and not the much more lively stainless steel, which heats and and cools down based on the surrounding temperature. The cylindrical guard structure on the GWG-1000 just oozes class, and no amount of Bluetooth wizardry, or fancy features will ever make the GG-B100 an Apple Watch beater. In that case, the OG Mudmaster the GWG-1000 is a much better deal, since even if it cannot compete with a smartwatch, it still has features like barometer and compass, which are useful in the field and thanks to MultiBand6 it is very accurate, without the need of a phone. The GWG-1000 can compete with Swiss Luxury watches when it comes to shear build quality and legibility, while it simply outclasses every single watch ever made when it comes to durability.
No one would ever pick a GG-B100 over a GWG-1000
@@LordTechPro 1st sappfire glass breaks more easy than mineral. Dome shape in made cuz of 2 different reasons - more durability and better visability - less glare. 2nd Multi band is just a useless gimmic, these watches are made to be 15 seconds a Mounth acurate, so pls dont even put this as a +! 3rd carbon is far supperior than steel, by looks, weight and durabily. There are much more functions - sunrise and sunset, steps, BT with mission log and location point, much better barrometeic sensor and more! And 4th, if anyone can compare g-shock to swiss watches, the LAST one they think will be gwg-1000 with its fake bolts on the watch face ;) Its bigger, heavyer and 2 times more expensive and you one must be crazy to get it instead of ggb100. The strap guards on the gbg100 of the back of watch are smaller and fits better to the hand. That crown on gwg is destroing your wrist, and is close to imposible to use, and every time you want to use the watch you need to wind it back, cuz it becoms huge weakpoint from witch watter can get inside. Oh and not that it matters, but it IS made in japan, the movement is japan, and case is ASSEMBLED in Thailand ;)
@@Biotune This is a G-SHOCK, no sapphire is being broken and any G-SHOCK Made in Japan is Ichiban
@@LordTechPro it coast 30$ to become saphire, but i dont need to downgrade my watch to more glare and less durable glass (only + is little more resistant to diamond cuts), just to make my pp go hard when i say "sapphire"
Forgot to add some more + of the ggb100 for the last time. Way better light illumination + second light for the screen, the ability to change the positon or turn off watch functions from the phone and more rugged strap with locking band keeper at the end of it. There is just no comparing between them, one is like a normal overpriced watch, the other is true inovation and attention to detail. But i see you are heavily biased, and you will never take your words back no matter how wrong they are. Anyway that was not the point with my comment, it was for the other ppl to not make wrong desizions based on your misleading video, by not recognizing all the points i had to make.
Disagree
Okay
