Casio G-Shock GWG 2000 Mudmaster Full review after 45 days - Is it the perfect one watch choice?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2022
- When the new GWG -2000 Mudmaster was released, my first impression was... "why?" it was a cosmetic upgrade, and to me, that's just exploiting us who enjoy G-Shocks. It wasn't till I had the chance to view one in person, did my thinking change... it's like having a Land Rover and Range Rover... both tough, but both do different jobs, so consider the GWG-1000 and GWG-2000 like this... so are you a tough guy in Land Rover, or a tough city guy???
Have covered sides that haven't been covered, as that's my job, to go beyond the details, and share my findings... I hope this video helps, or just entertains you... cheers :))

Thanks for this - as always! - great review! Quality work, humor in spades and subtle things, like constantly moving the watch to let the light play on it.
I answered your questions at the beginning of the video while I was watching it and like to share this with you as "payback" and other readers for their benefit.
Q1: Do you buy the GWG1000 still?
A1: This is completely personal and easy to answer: I would honestly still prefer it as I absolutely love the raw, no-nonsense black with "military green" strap + yellow accents like on fighter plan instruments, with the red accent on the sensor seal making it look like a rocket release or something. I was never interested in any of the other GWG1000 variants, except perhaps the desert camo one to expand "the little family" (never saw a cheap price attached to it, though).
However, owning two GWG1000's already, the GWG2000 you reviewed here would be a very strong candidate for a third purchase. More on this in A3.
Q2: Should I flip my GWG1000 for the new 2k?
A2: Only if you have severe budget constraints, are deadly bored of its looks or completely nuts.
But to be more serious, I think most GWG1000 owners wouldn't flip it. It's against their nature -- as most owners didn't (only) choose it for its look. They chose it for its nature, like I did. As I've written before: My GWG1000s will survive me and will be inherited to someone who hopefully treasures them as I do. If I buy the 2k at some point, I wouldn't flip it either, though. ;-)
Q3: Should I just get the new 2k?
A3: This is actually the most complex question! ;-)
As for the tech/features my biggest "complaints" about the GWG1000 are the buttons becoming unresponsive after some time (certainly caused by the double o-ring seals), needing the "hot water treatment", and more importantly: the metal keeper which is prone to scratching on desks or tables, at least with my wrist. These problems seem to be addressed by the 2k and I especially like the new keeper. I wonder: Would it fit on a GWG1000?
On the other hand I don't need a brighter illumination (I'm the kind of person who replaces the resistor in their LCD alarm clock because the LED is too bright...) but more importantly I don't like the sapphire glass being elevated now. With my luck I would break it a bit easier than on the old model.
I also wasn't too sure about the looks and your video indeed cleared up a lot of questions I had. Still need to see it "in the flesh" but as of now I think it looks very well, handsome really, but different enough from the rawness of the GWG1000. Yes, there are other variants of the 2k and also a "military" model but it doesn't work for me at all.
As you said the original is slightly more geared for the outdoors and the 2k for city life. The latter is a bit more fitting if you wear a suit, for example, but it may still provoke questions from interested parties. With the light playing on the carbon fibers and the polished metal I see it more as a "sexy beast" while the GWG1000 is more of a "medieval workhorse beast". Both have their place but are essentially the same beast.
Your assessment about replacement costs is valuable for those folks really working with their watches, which I admittedly don't do. Whenever I'm in the woods the watch is the least of my worries. Before I would damage it, I will rip a sleeve or cut my trousers or lose something... ;-)
I need the Mudmaster because I'm a klutz sometimes and have broken several watches on door latches etc. I don't need to get in the great outdoors or in the mud (God forbid! ;-)) but I definitely need a hard watch. And, yes, my GWG1000s also have little scars.
When purchasing a watch like that we are comfortably in the "really a bit expensive for an LCD watch"-territory for regular people. Practically nobody in my circle of friends/acquaintances/colleagues would buy a watch like this. They would shell out for expensive mechanical chronometers, sure, but not a G-Shock. The closest thing to it that I've seen is a Protrek that a female(!) colleague owns (she also likes to wear her Rolex diver when she feeds her horses and cleans her stable...).
Apropos Protrek: People considering a Mudmaster should perhaps ask themselves if it really must be a beast watch or if a Protrek is all they need. The electronics are very similar, after all, and they also have a more "civilian" variant with the PRW-60T-7AER.
The real question for me is: Do I still want (a slightly tamed) beast or is a Protrek hard enough for me?
If you want the beast: The 2k is a bit more expensive than the GWG1000 but not prohibitively so. If you can only buy one watch: Buy the one you **like** the most - even if you have to save a few more months. Don't buy the GWG1000 because it is cheaper. If you still don't have one already and would prefer the 2k over it: go for the latter!
Personally, as I'm filled up to the brim with two GWG1000's already - and lots of time spent in the home office - I can't justify buying another expensive watch right now (even though I don't purchase much anyway...) But now that my interest is piqued somewhat, I will perhaps begin to have a look at Ebay later this year and decide if I want this one or a Protrek more. There are so many interesting watches out there... ;-)
So, all in all, a fantastic video, informative, helpful & entertaining: A time well spent.
All the best, my friend!
That's some work put into your comment, and I'm so impressed, that I will pin it to the top so all can enjoy your hard work... cheers for the support and sharing your views... this really does compliment the video :))
@ Old Guy. I'm with you , the GWG 1000 1a3 (Green Strap) is the only GWG I love. None of the 2000's interest me at all. The 1a3 1000 is really an awesome manly military-esque sight to behold IMO.
Just ordered this watch, this is the best review I've seen so far on RUclips... thank you.
Good sir, I have never subscribed to any creator before after only one video. You however, are the exception. Thank you for your honest and hilarious content.
This review is really detail and full of passion it is so great G-Shock should pay you for this review. I have both models but GWG-2000 is definitely my favorite 🤩
Cheers for the support my friend... been on my wrist for a while, so could really get a decent and honest review out there... I didn't watch any reviews as I didn't want to be influenced... not seen anyone mention the creaking strap, but now I've mentioned it, a few are saying the same... but it doesn't make any noise when you don't twist it on the wrist... just needs more wrist time, which is very easy, as it's still my most worn watch :))
One of the best watch reviews I have ever seen. Great work 👏
As always, excellent and entertaining review!
This is the single *best* watch review I've ever seen! (And I've seen more than I dare to admit) You point out details that virtually every other review skips, yet ones that do make a difference! (for example the tiny print for some watche's functions)
The downside is, you did cost me a chunk of cash for buying it....
As you know I'm into the small details, also am testing the watch, not just an unboxing and have the watch for a few hours... I really used my GWG2k everyday... most days it never left my wrist, as I wanted to know if it gave me any kind of skin discomfort, but it didn't, so was pleased about that :)
I like to point the side that is often left out, maybe it's going more geek, but hey, watch fanatics need to know all this to know if it's any good... so the conclusion... I absolutely love it, and I will be treating it like a true G-Shock, and already have some marks, but that's the reason why I use G-Shocks... and am in no mind to flip my GWG2k :)
Cheers for your feedback my friend :))
Another great video! I was not interested in the GWG-2000 either when it was announced last year. After I purchased one and had it in my hand, I changed my mind quickly and am quite impressed with this new Mudmaster which is a keeper👍😉
Always a fun watch with your videos. Thanks for the chuckles 😁👍
Always to the edge my dear friend, and you know how much fun I like making such videos, just that I have so many other interests, so am just making content in my own time, which keeps my passion alive still :))
You will always be 'Mr. Rangeman' and the best part of owning a g-shock; even a good watch could never be a friend.
My watch days seem to have slowed and the g-shock that I wear the most is GWF-A1000-1A.
Thank you for the visit and always one that I enjoy.
I've yet to handle the new Frogman's, and would still love to know what the fuss is about... am liking the carbon bracelet version the most, but don't have the need for it... I don't need the GWG2k really, but have flipped 3 G-Shocks so it has place LML :-P
Cheers for the support my good friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman The analog frogman meets my need for a large 2 hour timer (the entire watch face), second time zone, and date & date.
My old 2012 gravitymaster GW-A1000-1A with module 5240 is what the analog frogman is replacing. Nothing else g-shock makes now fits these characteristics.
This was worth waiting for... I’m looking forward to the next upload as always. Class 👏🏻
Cheers buddy... needed this time to really get to understand this new GWG2k... feels it's still pointless, but when it comes to looks, well, I'm a sucker for it LML :-P Both Mudmasters are excellent, and really should be parted and no compared :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I have the gwg1000 1a3 and I would only consider getting the black one as seen on your video.. however I don’t see much benefit in upgrading to it. It does Look nice though and I like the upgraded brighter digital display and light
@@kevwilliams1 Apart from the looks, you really won't be spoilt getting the new GWG2k... unless you need that tough guy office look LML :-P
as always, extremely entertaining and informative...
Hilariously entertaining and informative video! Thankyou. Just pushed me a little bit closer to the trigger for the 2K
Cheers buddy... always being myself when making content... am so impressed with this new GWG2k... if you don't have a Mudmaster, then the 2k is where I would choose... but if you're more heavy handed, then the 1000 because of how easy to replace the bezel, and how more cushioned it is when knocked :))
Excellent honest review and some very good points. It's still surprising how different/better it looks in the flesh, it's just one of those watches...
And thank you for yet another shout out!! 🙏🤜
Pleased you got to see it before this review... both different Mudmasters hey... once my honeymoon is over, you're welcome to borrow it, as I'm sure you have some very original ideas :))
Cheers for the support as always my dear friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Same, makes a difference! Yes and no definitely for different purposes. That's very kind dude! Possibly!? Lol Likewise thank you!!! :)
I just bought a GWG-2000 and I am loving it. Awesome watch. Got all the sensors calibrated and ready to go to home office and office with it.
What colour strap
@@davidarchangels6500 GWG-2000-1A1
If I'm not mistaking, a rise in the alti meter means a drop in air pressure so bad weather on the move! Never the less I love the way you make and narrate your videos. Really good job! Thanks to you I bought the GG-B100 which I love too! So now every morning I'm in a debate what to wear. GWG2K or GG-B100 lol! Thanks again! Greetz from the Netherlands!
Yeah, I cocked that up, but am sure you get the point I'm aiming at, saving button presses as the BARO can't be quickly taken back to HT.... the GG-B100 is my work horse of G-Shocks, and I enjoy the functions and light weight... if I had to choose now, I feel for the value the GG-B100 wins... if it wasn't the case... am edging towards the GWG2k, and you have to agree, the GWG2k in the hand is so different from the pictures on the web... cheers for your support my friend :))
Thank you for such cheeky review 😆 really liking that watch. Still torn between the two you just showed on the beginning of the video.
Best review i seen in long time !
I love your reviews mr rangeman!
Excellent review and I've come to the same conclusion, the 2000 is more refined and posh, while the original is a tough mother .... made to he abused
The GWG-1000 is the military version for sure, mainly down to the fact the bezel can be replaced.... cheaply :-P
For me, I've gone for the GWG2k, as I'm such a tart and wanted it for the looks the most LML :-P
Cheers and hope you're well these days my dear friend :))
Yo... Came to know about this watch 2 days back... Was watching for your RUclips review and voila... Here it is 🤘😝
Great timing, as I'm stepping back from making content each week... am doing it as a passion, not to make money from my viewers, as that would be very sad if I was like that... so just keep the bell icon on, and you won't miss my next uploads... cheers for the support... seems this video has the content what others are looking for, so am pleased about that :))
Awesome review! Good stuff, thanks 😊
Very Very! Helpful info covered here!!! THANK YOU!
Amazing video as always you bring something extra to the table
Thanks for the add in the description 😀
Well you know me a little by now... a review is meant to bring the whole story, with all the journey documented... it's your fault the most, as if I didn't have the honour to hold it, I would've passed... so thank you in a good way my friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman yes you certainly gave it a good fondle I was quite surprised how long you admired my piece for lol
@@wildaboutwatches LML I was looking at you, and could sense "How much longer does he need to hold my piece" LML I was amazed how well it felt in the hand, and after giving it back, I couldn't stop but want one myself... and of course, the Blackout is me the most :))) Cheers for bringing your GWG on that day!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I waa thinking if he handles it any more it'll go off.... the alarm. ..
Pleasure thanks for invite. Hopefully do another just a shame probably won't have anything for you to oggle at lol 😆
my god, your videos are just fabulously hilarious, thank you good man
Big thank you my friend, your comment makes me HaPpY with what I enjoy doing... if I had less interests, then I would make more regular content... so for now, it's when I feel the passion to make a video, so just have the bell icon ready.. cheers :))
Finally a good and honest review of this watch and it survived the harsh teaspoon test too! I am impressed. 😁 Nice to watch a video from you again, my friend!
Teaspoons and engine covers all day long... nothing like slaving over a hot engine blasting around the lanes, then a nice cup of coffee with lots of spooning sugar LML :-P
Cheers for the support my dear friend :))
I have been waiting for this GWG2000 video for ages and the wait is well rewarded with your humor in the video!
In response to your last question, I am the greedy one and is currently the proud owner of 2 piece of GWG1000 and 3 pieces of GWG2000!
Now my wrist time is dominated by these few watches, especially the sand version modded with a black band!
I can't just open a box and give a full review after a few hours... I have to take it away and really enjoy it, and it never came off my wrist during the day... used it for everything... just seen it has a scratch on the metal bezel on the inside edge... my motorcycles do have some corners to bash on... but it's a keeper and will for sure get more battle damage :-P
Cheers for your feedback my friend :)
Interesting to know you've changed the strap... want to share on my community post, then send me a good picture via watchup69@gmail.com and I'll post it, with a shoutout to you... if you like :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hi! Been busy recently due to COVID. Sure, will be definitely be happy to share! 😊
Fantastic comparison review in the humorous entertaining manner. Seems like my GWG1000 is still a keeper.
Either are keepers, and if I didn't have the GWN-Q1000 Gulfmaster, then I would've kept the GWG-1000... so am sucked this time with the looks LML :-P
Great last tip! Nice review
Tried in on last month, man it’s huge and I like a large watch.
Hilarious and very informative, thank you for the pointers I think I’m going to go with the previous version. Thank you 👍
Man, your reviews are so damn humorous yet informative at the same time! I thoroughly enjoy them! I have the GWG 1K and absolutely abhor the metal keeper. Do you know if I can obtain a GWG 2K keeper for it? I reside in the US. Much appreciated!
Thank you for your kind words! Love the video. Always a pleasure to work with you! 🤩
You deserved the mention, as you've always been brilliant to me, and others too looking at your ratings :))
Really enjoying this G-Shock, and am really interested in the other brands you now offer... so would be great to make a video on that side sharing with my viewers... you're not that far away either, and the shopping centre is great for other ideas :))
Thanks once again :)
I bought the sand beige model two weeks ago. It hadn't left my wrist ever since. It is everything you said in your review, which I eagerly waited to drop. Well done Mr. Rangeman. I also have a feeling that bezel parts at 3 and 9 o'clock position are carbon composites..
I was straight away attracted to the olive green with red/silver at first, then saw the blackout version, and the sub-dial looked less Christmas tree... but with time on the wrist, I've really grown fond if it... it's still on the wrist, and it could be one of my favourite looking G-Shocks I own... it still offers more than any BOLEX watch, that's for sure LML :-P
Hi Tarik, i am also considering the "sand" model, looks stunning in my opinion. I am able to arrange some pre-sights first at the local Casio Dealer soon :)
@@dutchdelight1005 I say go for it. Looks great in person. Cheers
@@tariksefic5628 Bought it today at the local Casio Dealer nearby ❤stunning. Great deal and a G Shock Watchbox as a present. Awesome
Great review, good humor and feel to it :)
I have just bought the same model in the video. Lovely watch and I am very happy with it. If I was nit-picking, this particular variant is not quite as clear to read in some lights; the hands tend to blend in. The world time cities around the edge are also incredibly small and virtually invisible to all but very young eyes. I wish casio had displayed the city abbreviations in the lcd when scrolling. I also wish the alarms and countdown had a vibrate for use in noisy environments. Other than that, I think its perfect and it sits on my wrist 24/7 as though it is part of me.
I agree with you on the alarm. I'm almost considering returning my new GWG-2000 because the alarm is effectively inaudible.
Excellent review!!
Great video as always!! Thank you very much and cheers to you Buddy!!
Thank you for your continued support to a channel that doesn't produce weekly content... and I prefer making this my passion than over working it like a salary... more honest this way in my opinion... cheers once again my good friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thats why we your viewers keep on watching your videos my friend,for your honest reviews with a little dash of humor that can make us smile while watching your video and brighten up our day. Thanks for that my friend.
Hi, first of all thank you for the video. Regarding the last tip about the altimeter, It is the other way round. If the altitude increases overnight, the pressure has decreased. Which means worse weather.
G'day Mr Rangeman, long time no speak mate... Anywho, it's great to see your expertise with the camera in action again.
I still must say that the ggb100 paired with the Jay's & Kay's adaptors and either a black bracelet or black and grey Camo NATO band is a thing of beauty and functionality.... Not to mention a hell of a lot easier on the pocket! By far the best of the Muddy range....
Take care my friend...
Great review, thank you sir 😊
A Mudmaster is the next one I'm adding to the G-Shock collection, and I still can't decide on whether to make it the GWG-1000 or 2000, but this review certainly aided in my decision. Well done, sir.
They both do the same, just that the GWG2k has a slight refinement within the module, so a slightly better LCD display and backlighting... plus the buttons are designed differently with regards to the damping... both excellent, both Master of G quality, so it's really down to the looks... Military or City tough guy :))
Cheers for your support :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman qual o maior , qual tem a caixa maior gwg 1000 ou gwg 2000?
Love those G Geneva stripes! Unique video as always. Definitely can’t clone you!
Only after spending time with a watch, you really get to see all the details... and I enjoy that side very much... it's a good looking watch regardless, and with the carbon and metal, has made it more premium looking, so now the GWG can side with those who like Military looking or something that would work in nice evening gear :))
Cheers for the support my friend... and to mention, I watched your video with the Citizen P130, and I own one of those, so was nice to see it on your channel :))
Well done sir! 👏 Thank you.
Thanks for the support my friend... cheers :))
awesome video. Answered many questions. thanks
Excellent Review Mate ...;) THX
I have the green version of this watch and I have to say it’s a definite improvement and refinement over the original in almost every aspect and I prefer it more, but there is a BIG community out there who will prefer the 1000 over this one.
I have been looking to by the 1000 for years and have almost saved up for it but just came across the 2000. I also like the green version and I like the stainless look of the bezel, but what I hate about the 2000 is the red accents. Trying to determine if I can get over them or not.
@@brandonwardlow4246you can get it in another colourway which don't have those accents.
I got a chance to handle the 1000 in person. I wasn't quite impressed with it. It was top heavy and the strap was stiff and didn't conform to the wrist very well.
Love it XD
Thanks for another great video. The final part is amazing hahahaha :D
I was ranting at the end, as I did the whole script over an hour, so went a little crazy when finished LML :-P
Cheers for the feedback my friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Hahahahaha I started making videos too so, I can relate to that now XD
You put a lot of effort and time and fun moments in your videos and all can be seen in the final result :D
Cheer
I love the GWG 2000 feels good🤗
I started looking into how many timezones these watches have and its interesting as to how much each one varies. If you want the smoothest movement from minute hand to minute hand you have to go with the mtg/mrg series for they have a timezone for every offset 1-14 and then -12 back to 0. But, whats interesting is watches like the analog frogman literally dont have any offsets between the 14 min hand through to the 48th. Which brings me to upgrading to this watch. Except theres a poor area as far as how many timezones you can shift through. Tokyo is at its six and it only gives you 12 in either direction. so instead of it being evenly distributed through the east and odd from the west. Its a perfect 6. Which works considering you have to mode switch to adjust world time. It still seems a bit clunky. But, your not going to get much smoother without losing the triple sensor. There is a middle ground at grb200. But, still with that watch there are no timezones on the watch face and some timezones are still missing. (a few). These watches have to be manually declinated. The Rangeman was the only watch that adjusted that automatically through GPS. But those really only come into play if you travel latitudinally in increments of over 50 or so miles. Unless you live in Africa or somewhere around the islands of Singapore. That would be longitudinal incremental measurements of magnetic/true north.
Excellent video. One thing, though. An increase in air pressure will show as a decrease in altitude. So if you see an increase in altitude first thing in the morning, that means a fall in air pressure. Meaning a low pressure moving in, with corresponding bad weather. Nevertheless, an EXCELLENT idea for weather check first thing in the morning.
I agree, the Gulfmaster is a great watch. I have both but wear the Gulfmaster more often.
GWG for the win! I have the black and the green…my new fave GSHOCK.
I watched all of your wonderful videos for 16 minutes and 35 seconds. I totally agree with your comment, which is fun and accurate. I also enjoy using the G-Shock, but recently I am using the mtg-b2000. As I get older, I prefer to use analog and metallic watches. The G-Shock urethane cord broke and I had to grind it several times, my skin became itchy, and I didn't like the plastic body peeling off and grinding after long use, so I replaced it with a metal one. Also, the altitude and temperature were not accurate, so it was inconvenient to actually use it... However, I was too careful to use a smartwatch, so it didn't suit me... Thank you. I'll take a look at your other videos too. See you again.
Thank your for your feedback my friend... I've got a few vintage G-Shocks that are peeling, so understand why you prefer metal ;)
Cheers and have a great day ;)
Good morning Mr. RangeMan. Success in all his endeavors. Excellent videos. Very well narrated and explained, but I still have doubts about whether to buy the GWG 1000 or the GWG 2000. I would like to know if you consider the Gwg 2000 weaker than the Gwg 1000? And in terms of operation and characteristics are they the same or is one missing something that the other does not have? I await your advice Mr. RangeMan. And thanks
.
He's back with vengeance, great review. I wonder if it's tougher than my protrek. Is all that carbon fibre really tough only a hammer or motorbike crash can confirm....
They are both tough, but tarmac off a motorcycle will need more than steel and carbon, even titanium... best not try LML :-P
My watch buddy is away, so am waiting till he has time, as I need to focus on your watch video... it isn't forgotten just to mention... I've just notched down on the uploads :)
Love it and buy it! Thank you Mr Rangeman
First, great review Mr Rangeman 👌👌
I've rarely made the first comment, so well done, and pleased you have the bell icon ready :))
Cheers for the support and feedback my friend :)
Just got mine, love it.....
*The green alphanumeric characters on the negative LCD panel is marvelous, jack! I’d go so far even to say that it’s better than the vaunted MIP display, given its limitations in practical ’usage’.*
*I have a Pro Trek PRW-50T and a Pro Trek PRW-3510 with this feature. Oh boy do I love ‘em! The mint green alphanumeric characters are very easy on the eyes. Plus, I don’t know why, but when looking at photos of the LCD display, in some pictures it renders the alphanumeric characters as tri-color (green, blue, and yellow). Upon closer examination, I discovered that that occurs when the flash was on the camera when the picture was taken. In real life the mint green LCD panel doesn’t have that tri-color effect.*
Excellent video! Thanks! 😀
Still didn't get time to make my RC video, but this year will be that time, and I've found a great place to film too :))
Cheers for the support and feedback my friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Anytime😀! I have been progressing with my 205mph RC project as well, but Indid not film that much either!
Excellent review! I like the look of GWG-2000, but i miss metal band.. Have you any recommendations for metal, titanium or composite(Like GWF-A1000C) band for this GWG-2000? Thank you very much.
very nice review
Love the host 🤙🏻
Welcome back Mr Rangeman!
I’ll have to get one Mr Rangeman, so I can find the coffee machine at work!
LML LML LML that really made me laugh LML ;-P Pleased you enjoyed that part, but feel there was another two parts you preferred more LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I hope you weren’t talking about Mrs Rangeman Botox? 😂😂😂
Well done!
Cheers buddy :))
Bought one and its great fire n forget daily watch. Only thing missing is forged carbon for the side bumpers instead of resin.
Chucked my pos apple watch and got this beast. It's a fookin' beauty.
Hey rangeman great vid but is this watch vibration resistant like the 1000
I am glad that I can pause the video ...to prozess the information.😂
What a great review. Was laughing out loud! New to your channel, but will definitely visit regularly from now on. Any thoughts on the GA-2100?
Cheers buddy :))
I was interested in the GA-2100, but what puts me off the most, is that tiny LCD display, and if wanting to use it often, this might be a strain on the eyeballs... also it's very light, so might not feel more like a Swatch Watch... this is just my thoughts... and to add, my GWG2k is getting the most wrist time... may not be the best of modules, but it does a nice spread of functions needed everyday, and yes, you can wear it 24/7 without any issues :))
Cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman WOW and thank you for your detailed answer. Much appreciated! For me the GWG2k is the ultimate G-Shock. Functionality, durability and as well as aesthetics... Love it! I love the GA-2100 as well. It fits well under suit and shirt and I can wear it every day. The LCD is indeed tiny but gives it a nice touch. Would be great if the 2100 was solar powered as well.
And yes absolutely, it does feel like a Swatch :))
I grew up with Swatch Watches, so that is fine with me. ;) Also I'm Swiss, living in Swizerland. So for me being a G-Shock fan and not wearing a Swiss made watch might be considered a crime... :))
love it now to get one great tip too
Great video
just got into G shock watchs, had always been wearing a smart watch due to job. but now i can finally get to choose whatever i want to wear.
is there a website that has fully catalog of those cool gshocks? it seems super confusing for an outsider like me......
Great review! Do you find this black version easy enough to read in low light?
Love this watch
The hour dial of my MTG stopped moving and requires a mechanism replacement, and my protrek is scratched - but I still miss them both. Is the GWG the lovechild between a MTG and a protrek? Anyways I enjoyed the review.
Well done review
Thank you my friend... really enjoyed making this video... and I'm still wearing my GWG2k, could be one of my favourites now, which is odd after mocking it when it was released LML :-P
Thanks for the video. I’m disappointed with my watch. Mine lens fogs in the cold or in a good a/c room . Any thoughts?
Awesome ,hilarious and a fast n furious review my friend …thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dont make me get my DW-5600BB!! 😁😁😁 Great review. Cheers from a friend.
The squares could be the toughest G-Shocks period :))
Cheers for the support my friend :))
I wondered does da gwg2k still hv da stuck button and second hand issues as on the gwg1000?
Hello Mr. Rangeman I like the review. I still prefer my GWG-1000 any day.
The Military toughness works best if you are wanting to really treat it as it was intended... I have other G-Shocks that get that side, so this is a nice looking watch, but does have that tough side just in case... I understand the reason behind the new GWG2k, and in my opinion, both should be in their own category and not compared :))
Cheers for the support my good friend :))
hi, you mentioned that the gwg 2000 has a different button seal and what gwg 1000 has and which ones are better? I can't find a comparison anywhere please help im still stuck between gwg 1000 and 2000
I agree, this is the ONLY watch you will ever need. The only problem now is WANT, I now have a bad case of GAS (G-Shock Acquisition Syndrome) and cannot stop buying new G-shocks. It's getting to be quite an expensive hobby but well worth it!
Is the 2000 vibration resistant ? Can’t see that mentioned at all unlike the 1000 which is why I’m currently leaning more and more towards purchasing the 1000 instead.
I could never bring myself to buy one of these... so I bought two. 😂
GWG-2000-1A1ER (Black)
GWG-2000-1A3ER (Green)
Paid £420 each in uk, with 0% finance 🇬🇧
I've absolutely battered the Black version with three days in garden with a Reciprocating Saw, mud, leaves and rain.
I was sure I'd killed it... but no. Amazingly strong and resilient. Myself on the other hand was broken.
Love the watch, love G-Shock.
Love your videos. Question. If you had to pick between GWG2000 and Fenix 7X which would you pick and why?
That's like comparing apples to lasagna!
A question for you and the channel owner
Which one would you choose wants to buy
This is supposed to be a watch on a daily basis works physically know sometimes I will take it off to work
I wonder about gw 9400
Gwg1000
Gwg2000
What you will recommend
Or some other model?
Enjoyed your show and
I APPROVE. You earn a sub and a like.
I'm having a problem with the digital screen getting out of sink with the hands. I have to call yhe company to get it calibrated again. They tell me there's no way to lock the buttons. Is that true. It happens multiple times aweek
Thanks
It's tough. I have the 1000 because it's an indestructible military piece. This one will be even tougher and smaller which is still very military to me; more so special forces as opposed to marines. It's like an M4 or an MK18
Can the Mudmaster's date format be set to proper British dd-mm?
It drives me nuts that my GA-2000 can't do this.
Have you gotten your hands on a Fenix 7x yet so we can have one of your magnificent reviews done on it? Perhaps you could also cover the diagnostic and development menus on the watch as well, would be nice for alot of people to have it demystified, it's a useful feature that people are afraid of for some reason even though it is completely non destructive.
Maybe later... but for me, it seems that the LED light is what makes it the most different, as for the battery life, in my opinion, my Fenix 6Pro is perfectly fine, and there are battery packs if you're wanting to go further afield :))
I still see the Fenix 5X Plus a great flagship Garmin, so is this like the iPhone Samsung smartphones, where a little gimmick pushes you to get the latest... end of practice, these Fenix 6's and 7's do more than needed, if you want more, then you're walking on a fine red carpet like a Prince... sometimes you need to keep your own tactile features, meaning, don't always rely only upon electrical goods, much like how modern cars are stripping away our skills to drive... hope all that makes sense :-P
I'm not sure about the solar side with regards to the Fenix, seems the Instinct has this working better... so is it again, making these with all the additions more attractive??? and for me, a torch on a watch isn't the reason why I'd upgrade, so for now, my Fenix 6 Pro is more than plenty :)
Cheers for your feedback my friend, always good to read :))
I would like to ask about her battery, her life time, and how much does she affect the sun to charge
Looks nice was looking at the tan colored one
Looking, and there is looking... Watcho have sold out on the Blackout version already :-P
I like the Analog dial. Makes the busy face seem less busy. Was that a Dalek or a Transformer your riding? 😁
Transformers all the way my friend :)) It has an unusual dial, one moment it looks black and sterile, then tilted it becomes very electrical :))
Hey Mr. Rangeman!
I need your opinion - GWG 2000 vs GWN Q1000? Thanks!
How do we know id the crown is tight enough?
