I went to the store to buy it but I was overwhelmed by Mudmasters size and stiffness of the bracelet and I turned it down and decided to get GSHOCK Rangeman instead. Next day, extremely happy with my purchase and after I got used to the size of a Rangeman I went back to the store and got myself a Mudmaster and I couldn’t be happier. Your review helped me to make up my mind, also at the beginning I was leaning towards black one but finally I got myself same color as yours and again I couldn’t be happier. Thanks a lot, you’ve helped me a lot.
hi Peter welcome to the channel bud and you must have two very happy wrists there!!! my first choice was also the black out but on wrist the khaki just worked better and I did look at the rangerman but just too pricey for me but i think it sets the bar for ultra sports wathces :D
@@thetimebombardier I did buy a smaller Rangeman all black out version. After years of wearing regular watches it’s been a shock to switch to any GShock, let alone a Mudmaster but it took me just one day to fix my “mistake”. I love them both though lol
@@peterzurek5192 hahaha excellent 👍😎 i think you'll find a few like minded watch nutters here on the channel 😎😎
@@thetimebombardier Oi! Only almonds 'ere, no nuts!
I went over a decade without a wristwatch, but when I was offered a Mudmaster GWG-100 to "fit my lifestyle", I at first thought it was a joke. They really wanted me to go from no watch to this comically oversized monstrosity? After a week, it became a part of me and after a year, I realized that I had started a Mudmaster collection. Of course, I would never admit to that.
@@Artsificial hahaha quality response mate and yes i can empathise fully with these bloomin things starting collections and obsessions 😋🤪😅
Recently purchased this exact watch and I can not be happier. I wear it every day, even in my office setting and am stoked with it.
thanks Brodie and welcome to the channel sir!
I keep watching (lol) for new reviews of the gwg1000, I bought one 3 months ago because I'm a tradesman that wanted saphire scratch resistance, 11 months of research and I'm so happy with my choice! Concrete dust, grinder sparks, doesn't matter what I do with it on, longevity and reliability guaranteed! My rubber is scuffed as you would expect, but love it for it's durability!
Big watch but it's a tool, not a fashion accessory.
Being solar, when the watch stops, I know we have experienced a solar flare or emp 😉
Thanks for the review!
hey Logic, welcome to the channel mate and superb summmary of its attributes!!! this one also gets a lot of attention when out and about!!
I owned a lot of different G-Shocks and this one is by far the best. Rugged, tactical, indestructible, packed with features, manly beast of a watch! Wear it with pride!
hi Tarik wlecome to the channel mate and yeah totally agree with you :)
This is the highest peak in Casio Engineering. I own this exact pair, and it's the only watch I would wear in a apocalypse.
hahha excellent cheers Mark and welcome to the channel :)
I purchased mine from seiya Japan. I wanted the Japan factory version. It is the most accurate watch I have ever owned. It keeps time daily to the fraction of a second with its radio time update feature. Tough as nails. I work long hours in a warehouse and have been wearing mine for over a year there and out about too. (Yes it gets knocked around a lot.) Still looks and works like it did right out of the box. All functions work perfectly. The lume is incredible. Never need the light! I love this watch! I highly recommend it for guys who aren't afraid to really be about living and working hard, and need a watch that can keep up.
Hey John thanks for your comment and welcome tomthe channel 😎😎 yup it's an absolute bomb 😋😋 the new version will be out later this year so will be interesting to see the changes!!
I ordered mine also from seiya a year ago for the exact same reasons. I'm really happy with it.
@@thetimebombardier I bought Bullbars for it. Seeing it now without them, looks like it's naked.
@@sammlerjager9208 yup been thinking about the bars recently so might have to purchase them 😋😋
Is Japan factory version different? And how long did it take to arrive? Thanks
thanks for your review.
It is funny that when Casio offers a watch with rock solid movement, saphire glass, all sorts of sensors. quality, rugedness and they charge 800 dollars people think it is too much, but Seiko or Tag charges 600 for just a saphire glass and some automatic movement and no one thinks that is too much... I think we are used to see casio as a cheap wallmart watch. but this watch and the analog frogman are worth every penny.
I have the analog frogman in red and white and it is a stunner. I get looks all the time and it feels good when I wear it. It does not feel cheap by any measure.!
Grats on your new watch! This was my second choice but the frogman won me over with aesthetics.
hi Robert thanks for your comment and welcome to the channel! I agree, if we look at the seiko limited edition pricing then what we have in the muddy the range and the frog are leaps and bounds ahead!! have the old frog and kinda prefer that it's all digi but can see how the red and white looks really cool!! cheers
@@thetimebombardier i keep hearing pepple prefer the digital frogman but i see what casio was aiming for and that was to compete with other divers like the citizen pro divers and the seiko padi divers . There is a huge market for anslog divers and casio was missing out. For the people that prefer digital they are still being made so no loss for everyone.
Cheers!
@@ROrneli yup again I concur and I'm a big fan of the citizens :D
Exactly!
With a Rolex Sub, you get time, date and a bezel for elapsed time. That's it. And you'll now pay $10K+ for a new one, and wait years to get it.
I can't even begin to list all the functions of these Mudman watches in comparison. They also only cost around $630, and can be had in a day or two if shipped.
I've had some higher end watches, but sold them all and went back with G-Shocks only. My main watch is a gw9400-1 Rangeman with green straps. I love it, and it's better than any Rolex jewelry you can buy.
@@Illsamustache i have the blacked out 9400 , great watch in its own right. Problaly the watch i woild wear if i was deployed or i went camping for sure.
Best G-Shock of them all. Always puts a smile on my face. Nice video too!
Cheers Tarik 👌👍😜
I enjoyed your video on this watch.
Had mine for 4 months brilliant watch totally happy with it.
Hi Stephen thanks and welcome to the channel, the new version will be out in a few months and I wonder if it will get as much love as this one does 😎😎👍👍
Great review. I've had this watch for about four years now and have worn it everyday...it's an absolute beast and I love showing it off. I will say, I do have one disappointment about it. The red accent quarter circle right next to BARO and TEMP has faded to almost white. It's my only gripe after all this time. Might seem minor but for how expensive it was, kinda sucks. And yes, it's authentic...purchased brand new from a reputable jeweler. I just bought the all black one...time will tell how the colors hold up.
Thanks J and welcome to the channel 👍😎 I'll be sure to keep and eye for the discoloration as yes i feel your pain with it fading... not good!!
I’ve got one ,l absolutely love it and for a big watch l find it so comfortable. 👍
cheers Peter and yup totally agree!
One of the greatest watches ever made! Luv mine! Where it every day and my MTG on days off.
Cheers Hydro mate, totally agree with you 😋🤘😎
My best mate from school lorry driver HGV ex RCT swears by this watch wont wear anything less at work. VBW Anthony
yup tis a veritable beast!!
This is an awesome all around watch. It has to be the most rugged watch I have used over the years. It has a compass, barometer, altimeter, and a thermometer. For its size it’s a very comfortable watch, the band can be a little stiff when brand new but over time and will conform to the contour of your wrist and it’s very comfortable on my wrist. I bought mine back in 2015 for a $100.00 due to a store mislabeled. The manager at the store sold me the watch for the price on the tag and I was the proud owner of this great watch. The buttons are easy to manipulate even when wearing tactical gloves or when the temperature is a little cold. I would strongly recommend this watch to anyone who is considering buying this watch.
Cheers Carlos yup great summary and love mine, it's a tank and does it all 😜😎👍
I bought this exact model 3 or 4 years ago and I still get stunned by the way it looks when I put it back on after short periods of not wearing it.
@@Nightmareman3 cheers bud, yup seems the newer version hasn't sold as well and the prices on these are holding up well, this is a keeper for me!! 😎😎
@@thetimebombardierThe newer version looks cool, but once you examine it carefully, it doesn't compare with the original.
I mean yeah the LEDs are brighter, the negative display is more legible and the crown is actually made of metal.
However, the carbon fibre on the outside is easily dented, the exposed metal on the bezel is easily damaged, the dial is smaller, the cities ring is now inside the dial, which makes the Sapphire Glass protrude out.
The newer Mudmaster is basically like a Range Rover lol, it looks flashy and urban, but it will never match the reliability and toughness of a Land Rover.
Hi
I’ve had my GWG-1000 1a3 for 6 months now and I love it! I wear it every day and so much so that my kinetic Seiko 100m stainless steel runs out of charge , so I have to spend time trying to charge it up by waving it for sometime occasionally.
I have changed the green strap for a black original one and I must say it looks so much better! And so much more versatile!!! I wear it every day and can’t get enough of it. Take care
Thanks Kev and welcome to the channel mate 😎😎 i think a secondary strap option sounds like a solid idea, did you get it off ebay?
@@thetimebombardier yes a seller off eBay , it’s a sublime option as I now wear it all the time, let me know how you get on buddy 👍🏻
@@kevwilliams1 roger that, thanks dude, will have a look see 😎👍
The Mudmaster and G-Shock Rangeman are fighting for that top spot!!! The Rangeman has the sunset and sunrise function, that's the only reason why some people pick it over this model, but the Mudmaster is #1 and the Rangeman is my #2 "WHEN THE SH*T HITS THE FAN" watches!!!
Superb comments cheers dude!! 😋😋😋
the only negative of this thing is that the you can only set the timer in whole minutes, and every g-shock you will buy after this will feel suppar ;)
yup spot on observation!!
I got the black-out GWG 1000-1A1 model a few months ago. I must admit that while I absolutely love the way it looks, the green/white/yellow 1A3 model might have been a more practical choice for my almost 50 year old eyes. I’m just talking about the dial, not to mention the digital display which I understand is negative for all models.
Hey George welcome to the channel and yes same age here 😅😅 and that's why i plumped for the khaki version, felt it was easier on the eyeballs 👍👍😎😎
list price of this one is 699€. it's brilliant. the green strap fits perfectly. normally my limit is at 300-350€. i bought the GS-1001-1A GIEZ in 2015 for 299€ bec i like the vintage stuff, new, from a watch dealer on ebay and it's still the most expensive watch i've ever bought. i like the GWN-1000B-1BER Gulfmaster for around 400€ but the Mudmaster for around 499€ would be a better catch. hope you get out your first impressions on thist one soon!
Cheers steffen and agree with you in the price caps, makes a lot.of sense!!
Love my 1000 owned for over 5 years now. I call it summer and vacation watch, because it is great on open hand or light dress. Not winter jacket. However it is the wear-and-go anywhere. Swim, climb, get in mud, scratch a bit (there is replacement body). Big on any wrist. That is not bad, but rather brutal. So, try before buy 😊 and get own feelings.
G'dday Denis thanks bud and yup agreed on all counts 😎👍 think i'd need to modify my appraisal about it being the perfect military watch as it's too big to get under sleeves and would end up getting caught on everything 😅 also welcome to the channel 👍☺️
It is a tool watch that is worth it today, many people don't like it because of the size, but it is a watch that is not designed for just any wrist, I love it and it is very worth it in 2024 and many will. will do the next few years.
Cheers Jason yup couldn't agree more 😎👍
Hi, just came across your channel. One of the better quick reviews of this watch I’ve seen. Recently picked up a GWG-1000-1A1 as I am a fan of the blacked out G-Shocks. I have to say I absolutely love it! The bezel was slightly marred, so I got a new one from PacParts for $15 USD, tax and delivery included. I also installed a set of Bullbars also. This is my all-time favorite! It’s not just a watch, it’s a statement. I get comments on it everyday. The sapphire crystal is the perfect addition to complete this bulletproof timepiece. Looking forward to watching your field review of this machine after you’ve broken it in. Can’t wait for Casio’s updated version also. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Cheers.
Hi Dale thanks appreciate the pos feedback and welcome to the channel 😎💪👍 and yes i need to get round to that field video 👍 just a little restricted right now as my wife is at 7 months so no longer so keen on getting dragged up mountains but i'll try to get something done before d-day 🍼🍼😎😎
I’m here because Austin sent me.
Glad he did. I enjoyed the video.
hey Treetop welcome to the channel man and thanks for stopping by!! I've been a fan of Austin for a while so kinda cool he did the vid :)
@@thetimebombardier good luck on the channel. I’ll be subbing!!
@@Treetopflyer777 thanks buddy!
Love it I have the gwg 100. Slightly smaller but still great with multi band
cheers dude, i really like the 100 also but frustrated they couldn't make it solar...!!
@@thetimebombardier GWG-100-1A3ER is solar and multiband.... And cheaper I got it for about 195 in a deal
@@ATIWatchReviews haahaha i've been lied to in store!!! oh well we live and learn...!!
@@thetimebombardier store people rarely get gshock specs right. The W in the name means wave ceptor
Good option if you don't want the compass/sensors/sapphire glass & extra ruggedness.
I love my GGB100 Burton Ed. Mudmaster cousin... the weight is so nice and no where near the overdone micro diver crowd of wearing a welt belt on your wrist. Don't let the size put anyone off -- easy to wear these beasts daily, way way lighter than anything in this size, and packed with more features than NORAD, plus the ladies like a man wearing G-Shock. Casio are full of mad scientists! Brilliant
Hi rinaldi 😎 thanks for your comment and yeah mad scientists and beast mode hahaha like it!!
Hi. I have the exact same spec watch. The really shocking thing about that G-SHOCK is that in my country (Serbia) in the store it costs just under 1000 euros 😮😨😲
Don't worry i paid 550 on the grey market 😎
I love the watch, i think it looks BADASS!!! 😎
The weather is improving so when i wear a t-shirt it's really gonna pop!
Hi zoki thanks mate and been a while since i visited belgrade!! A 1000 euros is not right, it's a superb watch but that's silly money! Glad you found it for less 😎😎
Isto brate, isto!
Thanks mate. Just bought one after watching this. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻🇨🇦
Hey Nevets welcome to the channel bud and hope you are stoked with your watch, let us know when it arrives 😎😎👍👍
You're missing out on the superior, upgraded GWG-2000 that just came out?
@@Scrufboy I don’t know man. I prefer the 1000. Not a major functional upgrade with the 2000. IMHO 🤷🏻♂️
Best ever, and I got a lot of Watches. But it never leave my Arm since 2 Months.
thanks Mario, have you looked at the new version?
@@thetimebombardier when you mean the G-Shock Mudmaster - GG-B100-1A3ER. NO THX.😉
@@thetimebombardier next on my list is the Casio G-Shock GWF-A1000-Frogman.😍
@@mario9181 sorry no I meant the new GWG 2000 the new mudmaster? :)
@@thetimebombardier wow say here first time,damn the new Frogman looks great too. Christmas is coming. Work more. Who cares.😁😉
Great watch. Just picked it up. Great size and functionality and for most most importantly sapphire Crystal! Really adds to the durability. Thanks for the great review!
I'm planning on getting mine next week.
I'm a bit nervous about the fit, but let's see what happens...
thanks Patriot, appreciate it dude and yeah it's a beast!!
it's a chunker dude so give it time on wrist to get used to it :)
@@thetimebombardier I just got mine delivered today, and it's been a pleasant experience so far. 😄
Most of the pictures/videos I've seen of this watch make it look deceptively massive, which is why I was nervous before.
But after holding it in my hands and wearing it on my wrist, it fits perfectly. 😎
@@StardustLegacyFighter good to hear mate and hope it serves you well!! Did you get a good price in the end?
I think the GX-56 might be tougher as it digital only and should be more resistant to extreme shock and vibration. We will never know for certain. That said the GWG-1000 seems very tough. I saw a video where someone dropped one about 60 feet IIRC onto a solid surface from a scissor lift and it survived. Great watch. I can't wait to see Casio's replacement when it appears. Thanks for the video.
hi Ian thanks and I've been making mention to you in last few vids as you are the winner of the competition, can you get in touch please? email in the about section, cheers
The module inside the GWG-1000 is surrounded a layer called the alpha-gel and on the strap you can see it says Vibe Resist.
@@kma86 hi hafeez thanks for stopping by the channel and yup the alpha gel is a game changer 😎😎👍👍
I have both models and I agree with you, GX-56 specifically made for hard-core wear and tear for construction work, mining, and the type of work that you know it's going get banged up and you don't even have to check and see if it's broken or not, because it's built like a small tank.
@@sharkny1580 hey mate welcome to the channel and yup think you're spot on there 😎😎👍👍
A proper piece of kit! Perfect for my tree trunk wrists.😂
proper piece of kit indeed Rein :)

That's awesome, I had the new gravity but felt little plasticy , but love the look
thanks and good ot hear from you again!! :) yes this is a winner in so many ways, really happy with it!!
I've got the exact watch with the same cap back and some idiots in Facebook are saying it's fake I know mine is real lovely watch
Hey Tyrone welcome to the channel mate and I heard the easiest way to tell it's gen is the dimensions, most gshock fakes get the sizes wrong 😅😅
Beautiful Hand Watch I love it❤❤❤❤
Thanks dude 😎😎
These have doubled in price since i bought mine,bombproof.
Yup the new ones not as popular as all 😎😎
I wear my mudmaster to the office every single day. Zero Fs given...🤗
outstanding thanks dude!! 😎😎
This is one of those watches I'd love to have but would never wear. It's like with cars - you'd love to have an American 1920' firetruck but you'd probably not do commuting in it (unless you're Jay Leno). Great piece :D
Haha thanks Aleksander and yes it's not the ideal office watch but it's very happy everywhere else 😅😅😎👍
@@thetimebombardier true that 😉🤟
I’ve had one for 7 years and wears it everyday. It got so dirty at work so I can’t get it clean anymore. So I bought a gwg 2000 to wear when I’m not working. It’s not too big
@@steell100 thanks Stefan not worn the 2000 yet 😎👍

Hey Brian thanks bud and welcome to the channel 😎😎😋😋👍👍
This is a fine watch.

Awesome!! Hope you enjoy it dude!!
@@thetimebombardier will do mate 👍
Congratz! Gshock does not have the 1000 variants in stock for a long time.
Hey Bobby thanks dude and yup with both the riseman and froggy getting updated this year the 1000s will vanish 😅👍
Don’t get why they didn’t include the sunrise/sunset function like in the range man.

@@thetimebombardier You've obviously completed your unconscious bias training..!
I agree
I'm thinking about getting the JaysandKays adapter for the Mudmaster, so I have the option of swapping out straps.
Let me know where you get them and how much import you get hit with as i gave up on them a while back 😵💫😋
I absolutely love my jaysandkays kit.
@@thetimebombardierI ordered them from Ebay (my first ever purchase lol) in September and got them around 3 weeks later.
Apart from the shipping fees, I didn't get hit with any import charges whatsoever.
I've paired them with 2 different Barton watch straps, and it's been very comfortable to wear.
I'd definitely go for it, as JaysAndKays are a great seller.
Great video... subscribed! Question - with the new GWG-2000, in brief how would you compare the two and which would be your choice? Thanks for the great review!
Hey Thomas thanks bud and welcome to the channel 😎😎👍👍 i think the 2000 looks superb but for me it would come down to price as the 1000s are much cheaper now and fit within my budget, however they also just released a stunning toyota hilux collaboration gwg2000 which looks the mutt's nuts, and then the rangemans and the frogmans are due for refresh this year also if that might influence your decision ☺☺
Taking the 1000 into the army. Should be in BMT by March.
Thanks bud and best of luck with that 😎😎✌️✌️ sorry for being a Brit but does that take you onwards to army/airforce or othet?
@@thetimebombardier All good brother, bmt means basic military training which must be done for 3 months before deployment. I signed for the army, combat medic. Lowkey though you brits have a more difficult infantry training process. US army training standards have dropped like a rock in the past few months.
@@solidus1995 roger that 👍😎 it was over 30 years ago i did basic training and the memories have faded 🤣🤣 wish the best of luck mate as medic is one of the most honourable of routes!! The best piece of advice ever given to me back then was 'take non of it personally and learn to play the game' now in my grey stage i understand that perfectly but as a 16 year old kid i didn't get it 😅😅
@Solidus a friend of my brother almost has finished his training as a seal. He will be sent to Iraq in 1.5 year. I am thinking to give him a gwg 1000. Or a rangeman. But don't know of its smart to give him a watch that can be detected because of gps and Bluetooth. He now uses a gshock digital. Has his stopwatch in the big display because everything is timed lol
@@cnnlt200 GWG-1000 won't be traceable, and neither would the GW-9400 tbh.
Only the newest Rangeman, which happens to be discontinued atm, would be traceable as it has Bluetooth instead of MB6.
Hey man, nice video. Is there any possibility of Tough solar variant of this watch available ?
g'dday Kodo thanks bud and yes this version is the solar 😎😎
It's a great watch but might be a step too far saying a great military watch as it's easily dinged up and many complain of it fogging up, although as yet no obvious problems with my one. Plus it's a big juice sucker when actually using the functions on it, especially the Light, which they warn against too many times, will suck the juice. A very very cool look to it although after a good beating with mine yesterday, some case resin forever left in the bush LOL. I watched your review when it came out and now got one recently and reviewed it in the Aussie bush. Are you still loving it??
Hey dude good to hear from you again 😎👍 yup still loving mime and zero issues with it except the altimeter which i think i need to recalibrate as it rarely gets it right 🤔😬 i use the light quite a bit but again no noticed any excessive battery drainage, and yeah these do ding easy 😅😅
@@thetimebombardier Thanks. Good to hear re the loving it!
I've not heard anyone complain about this G-Shock fogging up.
That seems to be a prevalent issue for the GX-56 and GXW-56.
Condensation can occur on any watch, and it says so in Casio's manual that it's perfectly normal unless it doesn't go away.
Thanks for the review.
I'm desperate to get this on my wrist.
Any tips about UK dealers with a sub £500 price tag?

I just wish they’d placed the light better so that it did a better job of lighting up that negative display.
hi skyler thanks for stopping by the channel and yes that bulb at 6 is an odd choice, i think the newer version will have something dfferent :)
@@thetimebombardier The GWG actually has two(!) LEDs: One at the 6 o'clock position to illuminate the analog dial and a smaller one to the right of the digital display. While some G-Shocks have problems with the illumination (some models don't really light up the digi displays) this one is totally readable at night.
@@oldguy9051 thanks old guy I'm going blind in my old age 😂😂 hadn't seen that second bulb...
@@thetimebombardier No worries: One of the reasons I bought the GWG was the size (legibility)! ;-)
@@oldguy9051 yup it's getting a lot of positive comments on wrist 😎😎👍👍
I'm confused a bit regarding the solar. So do you never have to change the battery? Does it even have a battery? If so how long does it last etc. Sorry if this is a dumb qsn just really unsure
Welcome to the channel mate and yes my understanding is there is a small internal battery of some description that holds the solar charge, but I'm not an engineer so not sure exactly how that works LOL 😉 but I'm sure others here may know more 👍 my other solar gshock I've had 12 years now and never had to change anything 👍😎

Hello.
My watch is quite the same model BUT I feel the light button is made of plastic on the contrary of the other four buttons which seem to be made of titanium.
I can tell so by scratching them with my fingernail, and by their color.
How about it?
Regards.
hey Vlad wlecome to the channel mate and that's very odd, I just checked mine and try to scratch at them all with a small screwdriver and nothing coming off!! can you send a photo?
@@thetimebombardier hello there. What I was saying is, scratching with my fingernail gives me the feeling this is plastic, compared to the other four buttons.
Not scratching with a screw driver.
Are the colors on yours different? The one for the light VS the rest?
@@Marginal391 LoL ok dude and no damage done to mine 😅 and yes they all the same colour 👍👍
You might have a fake one, because all the buttons are meant to be made of stainless steel.
Thanks for a nice review! Do you happen to know where they are made? I checked them out at a shop today, and the back side mentions Japan, but I am not sure if it just means the origin of the brand.. The internet site of the shop says 'assembled in China' which leaves me confused :( Could you give me a hand here, please?
hey Borka, yes it's a mixed bag with casio, sometimes they are assembled in china or in thailand, mine actually doesn't say, the gbd 200 i recently got from japan is made in thailand so not sure if exactyl they make anything other say the modules in japan nowadays ;)
@@thetimebombardier Thank you!
I really like the 1A3ER's clock face as the white numerals + the yellow accents really makes it pop. But I would have preferred the 1A's black strap... What a dillema...
Thanks Arty and yes nice problems to have right? 😅😅 the straps are interchangeable so you could easily swap it out 😎😎
@@thetimebombardier Nudge me...please!! I'm inclined to get the 1A3ER for the striking contrast/color scheme clock face. Will email Casio to order the black strap and install for me later.

@@thetimebombardier Thanks mate! Maybe I just might slowly grow into the green, I mean olive strap haha. I just came out of the shop after a gnawing 2min hard time deciding between the black 1A and the olive 1A3ER.. Both are nice but the 1A in a more subdued low-profile way so i got the same one you are showcasing. Thanks!
@@artyboy1377 excellent dude hope it serves you well and keep us posted on how it feels after a month on wrist 😎😎😎
It's the 'Glock' of watches. Indestructible beast if a time piece. If tou have a friend with a luxury Swiss watch, challenge them to a 'cricket bat' test. Let them twat your watch as hard as they can with a cricket bat, then return the favour! Nobody has taken me up on that challenge. Surprising ain't it!
hahaha best true test ever hahahaha youve given me an idea for a future video LOL thanks bud and welcome to the channel 😎
@@thetimebombardier Great content, keep it up!
CASIO G-SHOCK GWG-2000-1A3DR
You prefer them to 1000?
1000 owner here and I am happy with it
@@78sabertooth thanks Eddy - me too 😋😋😋
1000 made in japan
2000 made in thailand
@DuyLe-wy2qx Actually, only one variant of the GWG-1000 was made in Japan, the rest were all made in Thailand.
As long as it's not China, it's all good. 😅
What watch are you wearing on your wrist in this video?
Hello mate that's the citizen promaster tough - titanium eco drive, rock solid watch, but the date window is crap 😅😅 i did a full review here on the channel if that helps 👍👍
@@thetimebombardier yes, that does help, thanks so much! I’ll look for the video on your channel 👍
Hi mate. When will you be doing another review on this after use. I only have one concern or question that I can’t seem to find anywhere else.. actually 2 questions. The first is if this was used daily so you think you would still have to put it in the sun to charge or do you think it would hold its charge with daily wear and use? The second is am I able to use the compass feature without having to have it connected to my phone? For example I drop my phone, I have broken my actual compass. Does that then mean I’m screwed or could I turn to the watch. Thanks for the video and hope to hear from you.
G'dday stephen and welcome to the channel mate 😎👍 and cheers for the questions and yes absolutely the charge holds, i use mine in rotation with other watches and have not had to purposefully charge it - i keep it in a glass top box on the window sill 👍😎 secondly i never use mine connected to my phone - just find it too fussy and compass works well although does need a calibration every so often - i have a small brass marbles compass i've used for years - bit old skool 🤣🤣🤣
@@thetimebombardier thanks for the reply mate. That’s good to know. Finally a straight answer. I’m pretty old school myself. I was in the army and tend to map read and use and actual compass so have been a little sceptical about the solar and the app, and the last thing I would want to do is give the watch days off. Buying a watch like this I would be wearing it daily and it would be pointless if the power couldn’t keep up. There’s the option of a rangman, but I’m not so keen on the look, it seems the newer version must be used with the app, and seems very battery intensive. Thank you for your answers mate it’s really appreciated.
@@stephenrichardson8351 glad to have been able to help 😎😎 i have a 12 year old frogman that's solar and it still works perfectly 😅😅 the rangeman is super popular also and there's a.suggestion it's gonna get a refresh this year 👍👍
@@thetimebombardier I ended up looking into the old rangeman. Turns out it’s very impressive so I have ordered one so saved a few hundred on that one. It’s missing the look of the mudmaster unfortunately, but It seems well suited yet less simplified. I will 100% look up the new one if it comes out. I feel like they had overdone it with the modernising of the rangeman almost crossing the line into just a hobby gps watch. For practicality it needs that longer battery life. I have read a few complaints with the newer rangeman in regards to battery on a daily use. I think they could really cut back on the fancy visuals and less interaction with the mobile app too. As for the mudmaster I decided I couldn’t justify spending that kind of money despite loving it. For that kind of money I would want it to be a perfect fit for me. Send G shock my way and I will put them on track!😂. Thanks again mate.
@@stephenrichardson8351 hahaaha excellent yeah i hear you - many of us could offer a few design pointers 😅😅 the older rangeman is a really solid tool and used by many serving and ex serviceman so hopefully will tick your boxes, i hope as you say the refreshed version is less gps garmin/sunnto and more gshock - keep us posted please as to me user feedback helps many of us out with these choices 😎😎👍👍
Hellow, i have this one and I have a question, can i change Glass ab this watch, ?? Ist broken
Hellow 🙃🙃 yeah take it to a casio dealership and they should be able to help 😄😄
I knew it! They said it couldnt break but that sapphire is the weakest link
Buy a bullbar so this never happens again
Hi man I like ur video just a question my wirst just 17cm is suitable?ty so much
Hi Jie many thanks dude and this is a big chunk of a watch so i'd suggest trying one on in store to make your decision, it's big on my wrist of 18.5cm but i love it 😅😅
@@thetimebombardier ty bro
Hello, I am confused between gwg 1000 & 2000, which one should I get? Which is more durable or tough?
Hey Sudheer 😎👍 thanks for your view and it might depend on your budget as 1000 is quite a bit cheaper yet the functions on both are very similar 👍 the 2000 has slightly upgraded case structure and different colour options, and then both of them are built to take a beating 💪💪
@@thetimebombardier thank you so much. At my place there is not much difference in the price
@@MrSudheerkenguva that's cool, here in the uk still about 200 difference 😬😬 which one do you like more?
@@thetimebombardier look wise I like 2000 more, 1000 looks big and capable...you don't feel like abusing 2000 given its classy look😀
@@MrSudheerkenguva hahaha yeah i hear that 😄😋 well bestof luck dude with whichever you get and please drop a comment with your thoughts when you get one 🤘🤘😎😎
Can you tell me wich prise is it???
Hey Markus 👍 will depend whereabouts in the world you are 👍👍(are you the real lutrel??)
@@thetimebombardier no im not the real Markus just use him name on you tube im from Macedonia so if you can tell me for price please😃😃😃😃
@@dareekim haha cool name to use!! In the uk at the moment you can find these for around £450 new or 350 used but to be fair not many for sale second hand as i think people keep them 😎😎👍👍
@@thetimebombardier i found one of them for 250euro in Macedonia used only 6 mounth with compete dicument
@@dareekim wow superb price!!
Would this fit a 6.2 inch wrist?
Hey Ellis thanks for your comment and it's a chunker, if poss i'd suggest trying it on in store to judge the fit, my wrist is 7 1/4 inch and this is still large 😋😋👍👍
Can you compare with the mudman ? G9300
Hi Coco thanks for stopping by the channel and yes the basic mudman is still a very solid watch, whereas this one is the newer iteration and the functions are quite a step up and more costly also, i guess final decision will be your need for the functions, budget and wrist size :)
@@thetimebombardier my wrist is small one … :(
@@CocoCoco-zj9jt ah in that case could you get to a store to try them on? the GWG 1000 is huge, one of the biggest watches I own, in the video (7.38) you can see it on my wife's wrist for size reference :)
@@thetimebombardier ruclips.net/video/6TlGfTy5bOI/видео.html
What do you think about that?
@@CocoCoco-zj9jt hahhaa hey Coco that's some serious testing dude!! youo can probably get a new screen right?
ridiculous watch. I like it
Cheers chris!!
I'm also from the UK, but how did you get this watch for £425?
The cheapest I've seen is closer to £500, but that does include 2 years warranty, and official packaging from an authorised Casio dealer.
Hey Stardust thanks dude and got mine from h.samuel 😎👍 not sure if the still have the older version, you could try simpkins also mate 😎👍
@thetimebombardier Thanks for your reply, I appreciate that you're still taking the time to respond to any new comments on this video.
Unfortunately, I don't think H.Samuel sells the GWG-1000 anymore, but I will have a look at Simpkins. 👍
@@StardustLegacyFighter no worries dude, happy to try and help out, I've just checked the casio outlet and they have one for 462 - link here: www.casio.co.uk/gwg-1000-1a3er
and yes simpkins have one for 449 :)
@thetimebombardier I think the Casio Outlet store doesn't exist anymore, I did find references to it on older forums, but the website is currently down.
That link you attached is for their main UK website, and their price is so much better than what I've seen from other dealers.
But, Simpkins definitely has the best price.
I just want to make sure that they have a 2-year warranty, too.
water resistance - target missed. I just now realized that as I was watching this video, and went to their website to check. Damn what a huge fail, and with Rangemen out, this is the best looking G-shock in production.
"New rangeman" got old very quickly since it was discontinued back in 2021. You can still get it from a few shops for twice the price, but I do not think it is worth it, if you are not a collector, specially since there will be no software improvements or parts available in the long run.
Hey Cotoi 😎😎 welcome to the channel mate - not sure i follow you in target missed with the watery stuff?
@@thetimebombardier simply put, it has no water resistance. I am not asking much, just 50m so I can swim and take a shower without thinking at the watch. Yes sure, it will most like survive a shower, but do anyone really risk a new 800$ gadget it it has no rating from the factory? It is a huge minus for such a watch.
It has 200 meters (20bar) of water resistance. G shock would never miss something like that. It’s part of their thing.
@@kurt120032002 all of their watches are dive able
To 20bar or 200 meters.
We want a give away contest
Hey Abhiram thanks dude and yup i'm thinking of a give away for video 100 but it won't be this one sorry 😅😅
C'est quoi cette montre la que tu porte
Bonjour 😎👍
Yeah, Until the GWG-2000 that just dropped!
is that much better? I still wanna get one on wrist to compare :D
@@thetimebombardier I would say that overall, yes. There is a lot going on. Albeit the same functions, the package is much better, with durable, robust materials, lighter, slightly smaller. Having upgraded mud resistance, better lighting and digital display readability. Seriously intricate detailing in the design of the buttons and crown. To some it may be just aesthetics, but there is clear functionality improvements in these design changes. You, most assuredly, will still need to obtain one to compare thoroughly.
@@Scrufboy damn... that didn't help LOL tomorrow I'll be heading into town to go check one out...!!!!
Zombie Apocalypse Watch
Haha indeed it is 😅😅😎😎
The Mudmaster are the Rhino of the G-Shock watches. ⌚️+🦏= G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-1000
thanks bud yup we all agree here on that LOL :D welcome to the channel 😎😎
GWG 1000 or GWG 2000 or GW 9400?
Hi Jose, yes brilliant question!! Personally I like the 1000 0ver the 2000 as it's just a bit less finessed and cheaper, but the 9400 is a legend and has a greater number of colour variants... wow there's a whole video here to answer this one dude!! 😅😅
@@thetimebombardier I just got (3 days ago) the 9400 green, It is awesome! I will have to save some money to give me a gift, the gwg 1000. I hope so.
@@joseortega2021 excellent, hope it serves you well dude 💪💪😎😎
@joseortega2021 I almost went for the GW-9400, but the lack of a Sapphire Glass is a deal breaker for me.
For me, the very best of G Shock must feature a Sapphire Glass crystal, regardless of what price.
@@StardustLegacyFighterOnce you go sapphire, it's hard to settle for anything less. It's worry free and has awesome clarity.
It’s huge… It’s like putting a wall clock on your wrist. 7 1/2 inch wrist and I find it completely unwearable.
Thanks John yup you're right it's a lump but i kinda like that about it 😋👍😎
@@thetimebombardier I know it’s preference… Favorite in the collection is the GBX100…. Doesn’t have all the sensors, of course… Slimmer/thinner and the tide function comes in really handy when fishing is your past time! Cheers… keep up the great reviews. Thanks.
@@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm cheers bud appreciate it and yup the gbx100 very nice also 😎👍
I've also got a 7.5-inch wrist size, but it wears really well.
Either one of us has measured our wrist size incorrectly, or we have totally different interpretations of what a big watch is. 🤔

Thanks turkee and yes it works for me also 😅 was referring to general standards of pretty watches like the blue OP i shared this week, now that was pretty 😅
Britt has crazy woke also?
oh yes too much LOL
They stopped it. They are not producing it anymore
Yup but no idea why as it's so popular 🤔🤔
@@thetimebombardier do you think they will bring it back?
@@mirmira8255 doubt it dude, the 2000 series seems to be the direction of travel, the frogmans also going that way but i'm hoping this year will see some new stunners 😅😋👍
@@thetimebombardier Amazon still selling those. Do you think the quality will be the same as if I bought it on the official website?
@@mirmira8255 personally i prefer official stores for spendier watches but it's different for each of us 👍😎
Enlève ta montre
Jamais 🤣🤣🤣
Most over rated watch on the planet!!! The LCD is a joke it is drom 1980, the band is a toy its stiff and plastic, the screws are fake, the inaccurate readings are also a joke… no wAy any temperature could be accurate unless it is off the wrist for an extended period
The watch is awful… especially at the $600 price ,
Hey Shawn thanks dude and appreciate your input, you're the first to share that kinda feedback, most others seem very happy with it 😎😎
Aww your drunk! This watch is awsome! EVERYONE knows that you need to take the watch off of your wrist to get an accurate temperature! I will agree it’s very expensive,but it’s an awsome watch! But I’m sure you know of onev10 times cheaper and better than this one ! Lol
probably never owned any G's.....just hater or keyboard warrior
Haha yup plenty of those around 😅😅
