Casio G-Shock Mudmaster Black Dial SS Chrono Quartz Men's Watch GWG1000-1A3

Product Information

Smart Access (the system for analogue movements achieves multi-functionality and easy operability simultaneously through a combination of multiple motors and an electronic crown) A built in Barometer monitors incoming weather fronts and alerts of sudden drops in pressure to get cover before storms. Thermometer & sun rise/set modes work alongside the watches triple sensor to keep you up to date on your surroundings. The watch's dial is illuminated by a LED light and is protected by a sapphire crystal, which as per Casio cannot be scratched. It also ensures high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable. During my usage, I did not struggle to read the information on dial, however the intensity of the light is quite low. It is not even able to light up half of the dial, which is a bit low-down.

It is also equipped with a triple sensor that displays information on orientation, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and temperature. High visibility is also ensured via large indices with Arabic numerals, a double LED light, and a wind-proof sapphire glass crystal. Multi-Band 6: Automatic Atomic Time updates are received overnight for exceptional accuracy (UK/ EU/ USA/ Japan/ China: home city must be set manually) A couple of other modifications have also been added to aid general user-friendliness. First up is a hand shift function, which means that you can push a button to temporarily move the hands move away from the LCD display – helping you to see what you’re doing. And if you’re using the watch at night, an auto light feature can be activated to automatically illuminate the watch face when you tilt your wrist towards you. Handy for one-hand operation in the gloomy recesses of a tent, when rain hammering on the flysheet wakes you up at 3am. Movement It even matters if you wear it on the left wrist – sensor directed inwards the sleeve, so warmer – or right – sensor directed outwards to the air. It makes about a 4 degrees Celsius difference. Also direct sunlight influences it. The temperature is shown in the small lcd-screen in the dial. I already mentioned that this is not the best screen in the world. Every time I need it for reading one of its functions, I need to get close to the screen and quite often get the hands out of the way by pressing the Lower Left and Light buttons. After a while this starts to irritate. At night the lcd-screen is a bit better when I use the light. The temperature can be calibrated. The temperature sensor measures between -10 and +60 degrees. Compass Barometric pressure tendency information alarm (beep and arrow indicates significant changes in pressure)It’s a striking watch. This thing can survive just about any type of beating you can throw at it, and it looks the part. The GWG-1000, in particular, is one of Casio's peak achievements in 30 years - a historic watch in the progress of the brand. The host of smart little functions that'll keep the geek in you happy (like moving the hands out the way to view digital screens, for example). The timepiece features Multiband 6, which automatically adjusts time settings based on reception of Casio's radio towers located in Japan, China, United States, England, and Germany. So you don't need to get into the hustle of setting the time manually. High-end touches include a carbon fiber seconds hand, carbon fiber reinforced strap, and a longer-lasting lume on the that partially justify its higher price tag. In summary, GWG-1000's got everything you need to survive off the grid, which you can't say about the GG-1000. But Mudmaster GG-1000 Is Smaller, Lighter, And Cheaper This new MUDMASTER model was created especially for this whose work takes it into areas where piles of rubble, dirt, and debris are present.

The Mudmaster is powered by a tough solar quartz movement. The high-capacity solar cells on the watch face harnesses the power of any light source (indoors or outdoors) for reliable watch operation with minimal impact to the environment – no battery required.A built-in direction sensor detects magnetic north displaying both this and your current direction on the watch face. The large buttons on the case makes it easy to operate the watch even if you are wearing gloves. This makes it a perfect companion for those who are frequent travellers to hills and seek adventure. months on rechargeable battery (operation period with normal use without exposure to light after charge) Auto Light: The watch face will illuminate automatically when you tilt your wrist towards you. Once activated, this feature will automatically deactivate after six hours.

time zones (29 cities + coordinated universal time), daylight saving on/off, Home city/World time city swapping Side note: Thermometer not measuring accurately is the most common complaint about the Mudmaster and other Triple Sensor watches. So keep in mind that you can't expect accurate readings from a sensor that's been warmed up by your wrist and you'll be fine. Altimeter / Barometer Does everything it says it can and then does more a truly awesome watch. Great service and reviewed my new watch lightning fast I would definitely recommend and would shop here again.Phew. Those aren’t the really clever bits though. An in-built sensor is also able to give altitude, barometric and temperature readings. The watch measures barometric pressure, which is converted to relative altitude, measuring from -700 to 10,000m (-2,300 to 32,800ft) within a range of 1 metre or 5 feet. The watch also measures ambient air pressure and presents this on a display to indicate weather patterns (whilst also recording specific pressure in hectopascals or inches of mercury, for all you avid meteorologists out there). The thermometer can measure air temperature from -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F). Lastly, a direction sensor detects magnetic north, displaying both this and your current direction on the watch face, in compass points and degrees. The compass is simple to use – you press the "COMP" button on the watch and the second's hand turns to indicate where the north is. Mudmaster's compass also has a bearing feature that lets you record a direction and save it. So you don't have to remember the exact degrees of the course that you were heading in. For the compass to be accurate, you need to calibrate it often, preferably every time before you go out on for a hike. The calibration process is simple and takes roughly 1 minute. The watch also allows you to set your magnetic declination, which you should do if you want maximum accuracy. months on rechargeable battery (operation period when stored in total darkness with the power save function on after full charge)
