I bought the GWG 1000 recently. Used but in excellent condition. Love it. 👍🙂
I bought the gwg-2000 a week ago and absolutely love it!! Fantastic design and feels very premium.
I have 4 g-shock now and only the 1st one isn't solar nor radio controlled, but I bought it in 1998 or 99.
For me not having solar and radio is a deal breaker, so I will only buy a new g-shock with these 2 options, a must for me.
Thank you for the video.
I don't agree that the ggb100, the second iteration shown, was a replacement for the GWG 1000. It was a cheaper alternative with different features. The new 2000 is the replacement.
totally different watch. the ggb100 kind of replaces the gulfmaster. its 10x more accurate in barometer mode and theres a figure 8 compass calibration. so no need for depth/tide or moon graphs.
Compass, temp, and altimeter are ideal features for long-range shooters. These features allow shooter to input azimuth, temp, and altitude into calculations to understand bullet trajectory and needed sight adjustment at target distance in prevailing wind/weather conditions.
GG-B100 should not be compared as a follow up to the 1000, it's an entire new line and it's own category. I would say it draws from the 1000 model in terms of design and functionality but it's no replacement.
It's actually way more accurate. It's barometer can do .1hpa. That's 10x more precise than this watch. They didn't impliment that into this watch nor the figure 8 compass calibration im assuming because its solar atomic and screw down.
Excellent review! I purchased my GWG1000 a year and a half ago when it was available for a few hundred US Dollars less than the 2000. Although I love my 1000, I probably should have sprung for the 2000, primarily for the size reduction. By-the-way, I 've had a Rolex Submariner/Date for 40 years but I rarely wear it these days in favor of the GWG1000.
Awesome video. Have the previous 2 models, will order this one. Thanks!
GWG 1000 all day long, my best watch ever.
I get it the 1000 and 2000 are feeling more premium and you want to justify paying twice the price of the GGB-100. But calling the GGB-100 useles because “you need a phone for all that data” is simply not true.
If you don’t go on a hike for 2 years the battery is no issue. And it does not run out of time that much for a hike of 1 week. So unless you need to press a detonation button on day 3 at that exact time you are better of with the 1000 or 2000....
What I do want to know is what time the sun sets and I need to figure out what distance I traveled, so a step counter is really useful. Can the premium 1000 and 2000 do that?
Sure your 1000 and 2000 keep the time on the second accurate where the GGB-100 could be 10 seconds behind after a week without phone. But the extra functions I get with the cheaper GGB-100 are way more important for me.
i went to buy the 2000 but ended up buying the 1000, it feels much better on the wrist (maybe cause of the weight) and the design is easier on the eyes.
I did exactly the same. Went out to buy a GWG 2000 and once I tried them on and handled them all I bought the GWG 1000. I have huge hands and these things make my watch look normal
Thanks for the video. I’ve been trying to find a simplified explanation of some of the different G-shock product lines. So far, this has been the best for helping me understand the mudmaster series.
for me personally, GGB-100 camo is the best looking G-shock of all time. this is my grail watch. I love it
No radio signal in Australia. Makes the choice easy. 😊
Thank you for your great and informative Review ...I agree I will pull the Trigger on the 2000 ..just looks to cool ..even for almost $ 670 here in LA ...THX again
Muchísimas gracias por la información, acabo de tomar la decisión de comprar el GWG2000
Thanks bro. You're easy to listen to and that counts for a lot.
Very professional review, well done.
A pace count is crucial with a compass and map the step counter on ggb 100 is the selling point to experienced outdoorsmen big deal you have to change the battery every couple years.the ggb100 is the winner
Awesome review 👏
My GWG 2000 delivered today. Love it. Awesome watch. It’s comfortable and I am learning how to use it. Are you going to do an in depth video on the watch if it’s features?
Mineral crystal is more shock resistant then Sapphire, Sapphire Is more scratch resistant, Multiband 6 can not be found In many countries, the back of the GGB-100 Is made of fibreglass and there Is stainless steel under it
I have 2 GWG-1000s and i love them. Not a very big fan of the GWG-2000 as i see it as just a facelift. Waiting with high hopes for the next Mudmaster.
A face lift that went horribly wrong lol.
@@Nightmareman3 Wrong how if I may ask?
I agree I have all 3 versions and the new one is my favorite as well. I still am attached to the first though, it's a sentimental attachment because my wife bought it for me. I have so many different brands and styles but my G-Shock watches always seem to be the ones I leave the house with.
perfect explanation, thank you for doing this😍😍😍😍😍
Purchased the Black and Sand gwg-2000. They are beautifully designed and feel premium. Of the two, the sand seems more overall even in color. The black bezel, copper accents, and darker buttons are very attractive. The black version is very nice, but too shiny and glossy. Compared to my previous Mudmaster GG-8100 burton edition, it is an improvement with the forged carbon and higher quality buttons. The solar panel, forged carbon and buttons on the gwg 2000, made me fall in love with this watch. I think I will return the black version and keep the sand.
I just bought the GG1000 & now I want another in the $800 range I just love CFiber as I know everyone does the Amazon buy was only $279 & I can't believe how much I love my GS I never thought I would ever wear a watch this big, it's so light & fits a small wrist like mine it's perfect. Now I'll concentrate on the 2000 I will say I think the set up could be easier & there is a nice tutorial here on youtube for each version of GS you will be hitting pause & rewind a lot
I'm gonna get the 1A1 model .
Looks slightly more slick than the others imo .
That really did help, this is a big outlay of money & as I am mainly an outdoors person who likes to be tech free as much as possible the 1st watch still seems to be the best for me, thanks.
GWG1000 Best casio for some time just getting a tad expensive nowadays love mine ❤
I have GB 100 - rarely take the phone out with it - the phone is only required for waypoint logging and time accuracy update but since the time accuracy is not gonna be effected that much over several days, if you don't take your phone with you, its going to be fine - honestly, if you happen to be in a survival situation, I don't think timekeeping accuracy is even important. The more important functions, compass, baro, alt, temp - are all onboard instruments.
Leaving your phone behind, you're only really giving up additional convenient features - doesn't really effect the watch's functionality.
For camping, absolutely the Mudmaster - also dive with it and mountain bike.
Ideally, though, if I could afford, I'd own a Frogman for diving since you can still use the buttons while submerged, just gives that little bit extra piece of mind while underwater - G Sport, for mountain biking, just functions more relevant to sport, pedo, heart rate, can save stopwatch times in memory, etc - and a Mudmaster for everything survival - just the most hard-wearing for anything land based in inhospitable environments.
Wonderful! Please do a video of the new GWG-B1000 Mudmaster! That would be awesome
Just gotten the 2000. Gorgeous watch. Even though the has numerous strap points, my fit is between the two....One is too tight, the other too loose. Not sure of their being a remedy. Nice discussion.........
You might take a look at gbd-h1000, as it has tighter strap point to ensure the watch fits better than g shocks
great video.
Im considering to get a gwg2000, as my gwg1000 is starting to get a stuck second hand and stiffed button. Apparently, the stuck second hand problem is very common among the gwg1000. I hope they fixed problem on the 2000s
The reason i didn't get the ggb100 is the ggb100 is a much stripped down ver of the original gwg1000. Without the tough solar and sapphire crystal are the major drawbacks, not to mention that the ggb100 need to hv a battery change every 2 to 3 yrs...
I recently purchased the Casio Mudmaster GSG-100. What attracted me was the fact that it had hour / minute hands, was solar powered, and it looked rugged and sporty. However, I was really disappointed to find out that unlike my solar powered Casio GW-530A it does not connect and self adjust the time to the Atomic Clock. My GW-530A cost half as much back in 2010, yet had the self adjust feature which I personally value a lot.
I still have my Casio waveceptor that I purchased in 2008. It has withstood abuse and still wouldn't give up. Whenever I replace the battery, it has to be sent off for the radio control time to be set which I find an inconvenience. My new G Shock GG-B100 ( the second release ) has Bluetooth which is an excellent option. The phone updates via a signal from my smartphone and does not need sending off to anyone for the time to be set.
The first negative thing people say it's huge? Truth is Model 55222 $100 model 5122 $100 are the same size , I love my gwg 2000 my only complaint is the strap it's little hard and pulls the hair on my arm ultimately it was the solar feature and sapphire Cristal is why I bought one ,there are battery offerings for less that should definitely be considered
I just got this a few weeks back. nice watch. but we still don't have the 24 hour timer. For me the Rangeman still has the best module (3410) if the Rangeman will have the Sapphire Crystal, it will be the ultimate Gshock.
GWG1000-1A3 the best in the world!
I agree with you
Wondering what more they can do for the next iterarion - gwg 3000
solaire et surtout couché et levé du soleil seul le GGB100 a cet fonction et le 2000 trop cher pour avoir oublié cela en plu il se féminise le GWG 2000 c'est pour les femmes
I have ggb100 and gwg2000
I own one 1A1ER and one 1A5ER. Just looking for the 1A3ER to complete my collection.
So, you reckon a GG-B100 would look ok on a 17.5cm wrist?
casio should make it easier to obtain watch bands for the mudmaster...maybe a sport band set and a military style band set.just a thought.
The GWG 2000 is a top watch. Even looks premium. 🔥
Better buttons, no imposible to use crown, lighter and smaller, better baro sensor, BT to make fast and easy changes AND to log your movement AND to take you back to were you started, no fake bolts, sunrize and sunset, better light on the display, step tracker, fully carbon build, HALF PRICE are just the few i can think of now ;) Saphire glass breaks more easy than mineral, radio is just a gimmick cuz these watcher are certified to 15 sec A MOUNTH, and the only MBY valid point is the solar, but it allso need a piece of mind, cuz if you put your watch in some dark place for a mount, it will kill your battery ;) Remember that LIPO batt dont like to drop to 0% charge, or it WILL couse permanet damage to it. So yea - GG-B100 is the only real mudmaster.
Okay, off topic: where did you get the shirt?
Ebbets Field Flannels, Seattle.
These watches are for real man's man and not for watch snobs
Is that stock intro music or you stealed it from browney?
GWG-1000 is still the Guvnor !!!!!
Im after a mudmaster, but the choice is confusing, i want a basic simple chunky model, solar powered, i don't have a mobile so one that connects to one is no good to me.
I spend most of my time sailing, i need a light function for night time and a simple alarm, i'm not fussed about alt, steps, barom, alt. I realise that without these functions i don't need a mudmaster, but i like the design, chunkyness and build quality of G shock. Some of the models seem to have come away from the large chunky design which is what i'm after.Do you have any models in mind that would fit what i'm looking for?
confused, so was the girl in the shop who kept pointing out dress watches as they would better suit my needs.
If you need it for sailing and outdoor activities, go with the 1K as it is more "mis treatable" due to the all-resin case and bezel. For me the 2K it's a better watch, but the fact it's made out of carbon fibre and steel bezel, makes it more suitable for "wearing" only. Of course you can adventure with it and hit it with no concern, but the scratches will be more noticeable. 2K It´s big but well balanced, 1K is clownish-big and tall, but if you need it to be chunky, go with the 1K, it is a really good watch anyway.
It is a watch to use with care, over time you will have a case full of scars and a new strap that fades. The gwg 1000 was like a tractor wheel, this is like a sub wheel. It's all marketing, a mudmaster is used without fear. This watch is for taking the subway to the office, for city people who have money. It's a way to sell, but it's not a mudmaster just a good watch
I have a big wrist , 9", so I wish they'd make a bigger one. The 56mm still seams small on my wrist. 58-60mm would be awesome. Love your videos 👍
I can promise you this thing doesn’t look small on your wrist lol
I wouldn't mind a bigger one too, I'd definitely get that
Nope, not worth the GWG2000 for me. I just bought for myself the GWG1000 and I love it. Sphire Glas, solar, radio controlled... What else do you need on a watch?
Step counter. All these should have step counters.
Quick question, how much did you pay? I just got a GWG2000 for $385 NIB at Casio
This is not true most of this review is wrong.
GGB has a step tracker, it has a battery but you DO NOT need the app to see the data and you don’t need the app to adjust the time. That said they are quartz watches so time loss isn’t that huge of a deal.
The GWG2000 does have solar but doesn’t have a step tracker, and the radio control is very very very spotty. I live on the east coast in the USA and RARELY get an update.
2k does everything 1k does, plus better materials, better sizing, better lcd, re-design, and looks. So objectively it's and upgrade.
Better buttons, no imposible to use crown, lighter and smaller, better baro sensor, BT to make fast and easy changes AND to log your movement AND to take you back to were you started, no fake bolts, sunrize and sunset, better light on the display, step tracker, fully carbon build, HALF PRICE are just the few i can think of now ;) Saphire glass breaks more easy than mineral, radio is just a gimmick cuz these watcher are certified to 15 sec A MOUNTH, and the only MBY valid point is the solar, but it allso need a piece of mind, cuz if you put your watch in some dark place for a mount, it will kill your battery ;) Remember that LIPO batt dont like to drop to 0% charge, or it WILL couse permanet damage to it.

It’s actually pretty reliable if you find the right spot in your house. My gshock didn’t get a signal for several months until I found the right spot (facing west, top of watch or 12 o clock nearest to window sill).
looks like you have better taste in whatches than drones..
its wrong that the ggb-100 is the successor of the the gwg-1000. its more the successor of the gg-1000
Addition... sorry to say, but the gwg2000 is just a fake, for a outdoor watch the casio doesn't even have a pedometer, no sunrise/sunset and a lot other missing fuction - for such a price???? ... i switch now to a garmin tactix 7 PRO - THIS is real outdoor-adventure watch
The ggb does.
Re not needing a phone to keep the watch current, If you are out in the wilderness miles away from anywhere, 'getting away from it all' why does it matter if the watch is a second or two or even a minute or two) wrong? hence, the world radio function to keep current time exact, seems superfluous. Away from it all = doesn't matter,; in civilisation = sync with phone.
The radio signal is great but you are not gonna be in the wilderness long enough for it to matter. Not worth an extra £200 or £300.
Indestructible - close ---- cool, not even close.
You messed up the models :(
1000 you called 2000 and 2000 you called 1000 lol 😝
Permanently out of stock is what they are.
I have to say that little dudes look ridiculous wearing one. I have a gg1000 and it looks good on me, 6"3 240, my 150lb friend tried it on and it looked stupid.
I got bad news for you buddy, they are not indestructible! I bought the top of the line Mudmaster just a little over two years ago for $800! Had to order it from Holland! Far the first two years it was great. Since then I have two twin granddaughters who love the watch. So…I would take it off and let them play with it in their playpen. The wood bars of the playpen are 24 inches high. One day my granddaughter was playing with the watch and she held it over the rail and dropped it onto the tile floor ( 24 inches down). The indestructible forged carbon around the light button broke leaving a sharp edge. Casio said it’s out of warranty so I’m out of luck! So a 14 month old baby can break this watch! I’ll be buying a Seiko in the future! $800! and a baby can break it!!!!!!
What is the obsession with Bluetooth on these watches, its incredibly stupid, like you said, people who where these dont want or even cant take a phone with them, also with the radio control its stand alone but with the ducking Bluetooth piece of doodoo you need another device to take advantage of the accuracy feature. Bluetooth in these watches is just straight up dumb, there is no upside
Never heard unwieldy, unwearable or anything like that about a Muddy. Makes no sense, stupid thing to say.
The new Gshock Mudmaster 2000 is garbage compared to the G1000 Original version.
2k does everything 1k does, plus better materials, better sizing, better lcd, a re-design, and looks. So objectively it's and upgrade.
