GWG-B1000 MUDMASTER Full Overview / Review We head to the jungles of Costa Rica to give you a full overview of the latest Mudmaster. Explore the range: g-shock.co.uk/gwg-b1000
Why just this past month I went there to get a sweet potato pie and it took me 2hrs to get back home. I only live 5 miles from there but I got disoriented sitting in my truck eating that pie and surfing CZcams. Had my wife not called me there is no telling what would have happened. BTW this is actually a true story. 😂
I've always considered the Mudmaster to be the ultimate apocalypse watch, perfect for a bugout situation & whilst i appreciate the ways it can be used with your phone i hope a phone is not absolutely required for most of it's core features
They're not, all the core features can be used without any Bluetooth connectivity. Like all gshock bluetooth watches the functionality is there if you need it, but all essentials like compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, sun rise, multiband 6 etc all work without Bluetooth
This is my second comment on this video. What an amazing time piece. I tried all the indicated functions on my lower specced BB100 in my kitchen and it all worked..! I'll now need lessons on how to read/use a compass so I can use the compass on this beautiful time piece. Well done Casio!
Beautiful watch packed with tons of features, both new and old. I love the look too and checked out the specs and it's actually smaller than the 1000 and 2000 which is impressive they packed all that tech in a smaller case. Not a big fan of Bluetooth g shocks but nonetheless, a fantastic addition to the mudmaster line. May look at this down the road, until then, still incredibly happy with my GWG 2000.
It’s also smaller than the Mudmaster GGB-100 series as well. It wears very comfortably on the wrist. I haven’t been able to take mine off since I bought it.
About freakin time! I feel like someone from Casio has been reading the comments on my CZcams videos where I criticised the GWG-2000 for being scratch prone, having less presence than than the GWG-1000, less legible dial/ hour markers, having a plastic band keeper and no extra features et,. Now this one has DLC coating (diamond like carbon coating) on the front metal parts, bluetooth functionality, proper metal button pushers, metal band keeper, more pronounced hour markers, everything! Every single thing has been fixed and it is now a true sucessor to the OG MUDMASTER
@@NotrealoramI How so? MultiBand6 signal isn't available in many countries, so the older watches would always be out of sync and to match the time, we would have to frequently re-adjust the time manually (which was a very tedious process, as you had to push the crown in at the very right second, otherwise it would be a few seconds off the actual time). With this, the watch can automatically connect to your phone via bluetooth and update the time daily, making it much more accurate
@@adamski101 Yes, but the weight is almost the same, barely a couple of grams lighter than the GWG-1000 and a few grams heavier than the GWG-2000. So the watch will feel more dense/hefty on the wrist
Just got mine today and I love it.. Didn't realize how recently this watch was released (Oct. 2023). Great watch although since it was sent from Japan and the instructions were........in Japanese (not English). BUT.. the Casio watch app solved all the setup issues for me. Personally, Casio watches are a headache to setup sometimes but the app makes setup easy and flawless. Good job Casio.
I'll be making great use of this watch navigating from my desk to the coffee maker in the office. I'm sure most of the people that are considering buying this are not Navy SEALS, Delta Force or Rangers, but office workers that don't trek through jungles on a regular basis. Seems Casio has gone just a little over the top on the compass functions here. They also seem to have eliminated the function pointer, which I thought was useful. There was no explanation of what the indicator on the left side of the watch does, but hopefully it's something that can get me from the coffee maker to the break room and back to my desk again.
@@prototype2455 uhh... diving computer, duhhh? OP has clearly stated that he has hard time finding the coffee machine and needs overbuild purpose products to navigate himself otherwise he might get lost in his bedroom. But not before he writes how disappointment he is with the sizes in a Reddit thread.
Great watch!!! Love the look, love the features and love the colours. I will definitely be buying at least one of these. The Casio Watches app works perfectly with my watches, although I don’t connect all of them. I didn’t think I was going to like the app, but it is better than I expected and works flawlessly. Can’t wait to buy a GWG-B1000!
I bought this exact reference G-Shock Mudmaster at the recent Toppers Jewelers event in the SF Bay Area where we met the inventor of the G-Shock, Kikuo Ibe, and I have not been able to take it off since. It’s smaller and thus easier to wear than my first G-Shock, the Mudmaster GGB-100-3A, and I absolutely love it! It will always stay in my small collection. *Absolutely fantastic* watch; I’m wearing mine as I write this.
Quite a relaxing video of the new mudmaster, very different from that intense GWG 2000 video . Anyhow, I prefer my mudmasters to be the not reliant on Bluetooth so I might skip on this one. I love my GWG 2000 and 1000 though 😁
I think the older GWG 1000 and 2000 were great because all its features were self contained and not required to be tethered to a phone via bluetooth. Once you have to do that, then why wouldn't I just get a smart watch instead?
There's such a wide variety of them called "Mudmaster". Would you happen to have guides to help us select? Also, they appear a little cheaper on Amazon than on Casio websites Is it OK to buy on Amazon?
@@piotrbaranowski1 I hear you! Unfortunately if you are in a location for one to three weeks without internet signal, difficulty connecting to GPS and reserving phone battery just in case of an emergency, then you're not going to be able to rely on Google maps or any phone app. Plus Google maps isn't designed for hiking and off the beaten track excursions. Really you need standalone devices and tools.
These appear to be the same buttons as my 9500 mudman, it would be good to understand why the switch to plastic buttons inside a metal barrel..... My original gwg-1000 and 9400 Rangeman buttons feel so much higher quality....... That said massive improvement in the rest of the build and functionality even if a lot of it requires a mobile
Hello champion !!! Between the two watches, GWG-2000-1A3ER and GWG-B1000-3AER. which one would you buy in your humble opinion with what you have already experienced in these two watches? Since the price is similar. (If there is also someone who can advise me, I would appreciate it in advance, THANK YOU!!!)
Hey bro I’ve never owned the GWG-B1000 but I own the GWG-1000 and GWG-2000. I’d highly recommend the 2000 above all because it’s a truly standalone watch no phone or bluetooth needed for things like timekeeping etc. it updates automatically overnight via radio towers instead of bluetooth which is ideal if you’re without a phone or if it runs out of battery. it’s also beautifully built and finished with heaps of attention to detail. In my opinions the GWG2000 is THE tool watch for any situation at all. Hope this helped
Thank you very much brother!!! This information makes me buy the gwg 2000. And even more so now that they are on sale since they have released the latest model. Thank you again and have a nice day and with a big hug and cordial greeting!!!
@@SEVILLAETERNA Glad to help my good man, you won’t be disappointed with the GWG2000 one bit especially with it being on sale, it’s in my opinion the best value for money watch ever made it’s seriously nuts how expensive it feels, Enjoy your watch brother wear it in good health and a massive hug back to you dude! be sure to let me know what you think when you get your awesome g shock brotha🙏🙏
@@MoMoneih Apologies for the confusion, I heard someone saying it was battery powered and didn't fact check, you're right bro they're all solar powered
@@UKCasio Thank you! I'll be adding a pair of these boots to go perfectlywith my Mudmaster. Congratulations on a great video worthy of the legendary Mudmaster brand. Aspirational yet attainable real-world demo of rugged G-Shock performance in the backcountry where no smartwatch dares to risk cracking up or going off the grid without a charger outlet. (Maybe the heli was a bit over the top tho, lol). BTW, I love the looks and all of the sensors packed inside. The barometer is the function I never knew I needed the most. Love it for keeping a step ahead of changing weather conditions.
Shame Casio have been too cheap to include a proper metal buckle on the strap. The plastic buckle is not much beter than one on a £80 g shock. This is the weak point of the watch. My GW 9400 Rangeman metal buckle is reassuring
Great watch but these watches need stepcounters bro. it would be much better for regular hikers and daily step trackers who woudl like to wear these g shocks all day every day.
The "Guard" sections on this model are not made out of steel, this is 7071T alloy, nothing more. In my opinion, the G-1000 Mudmaster is the highest peak of Casio Engineering with a Sapphire Crystal that overpasses this model..... The B1000 is OK in my opinion, a little to pretty for me, the OG G-1000 is a Tank.
Just what I need for my regular stroll to Lidl .....
It can really get crazy my guy. Gotta be prepared

@@user-wl4bd2wv3c Sugar shock from the pie? 😄😄😄That one really some potato pie to relish...😇
Finally, i understand the purpose of barometer, altimeter and compass from this video
Here he goes again. I’ve been wearing Casio watches for 15 years. I own eight G-SHOCK’s. I LOVE THIS WATCH.
Fantastic video and a great addition to the mudmaster line up 👍🏻
It worked.....on the strength of this video, I decided this is my new watch....
Arriving tomorrow

@@WhiskeyHotel238100% correct on all points. Mine syncs time with the USNO timekeeping satellite every night, so it’s never off.
This is AWESOME! I salute the effort that went into making this commercial. Ill be sure to test the features on my BB100..
This is Casio’s best advertisement yet. Beautiful resolution too

Yes, I have the 1000 and my 2000 is on the way. Disappointed the B1000 is smaller. Probably won't buy it sight unseen like I did with the 1000 & 2000
@@Stan-ug9mxIt’s like a couple of millimetres smaller.

I also bought it a few days ago! It's very cool and satisfies my desire to own it.
Awesome.... awesome video!!
Quality watch and video too. Good stuff 👌

I use a rangeman as backup for new walks where I don't have phone signal. Having a device that finds your car is pretty useful

I agree about the app. I just connected my GRB200 and GGB100 to it yesterday.
A stunning watch and great camera works too 👍😎

For functionality watch, it should be positive display. Negative display is not good for Legibility.

Amazing video. greetings. I have a question for you in case you replace the belt, where can I order one?
I think the older GWG 1000 and 2000 were great because all its features were self contained and not required to be tethered to a phone via bluetooth. Once you have to do that, then why wouldn't I just get a smart watch instead?
Love my GWG-1000, but why get a smart G shock? Because other smart watches break easily
Needs to be connected to a phone ? Dealbreaker.

only can cover the Celsius from -10 to 60. at least -40 should be provided because Chicago is always below -35 in winter season.
Very cool! Does the distance reading require connection to the App or is it a standalone feature?
Need app😂

Just use google maps if you have phone with you ;) but this is still cool watch!

As much as the mud master is cool I’ll take the GX56BB1 or the GXW56bb1JF over it anyday of the week for all conditions gear.
How come it has a location indicator, mission log and a location memory and doesn't has a step tracker?
I guess it uses your phone's positioning system for the distance, and built in compass for the direction.
Because only fat people need step trackers. This watch is for chads.
All this but it can't show the date as day/month 😅

Bear Grylls style
Need titanium band for easy cleaning and less allergic.. Muddy is bad..enough..
as sexy as i find the watch ... when i need my smartphone to use GPS it is useless as an "outdoor" watch 😞
What a missed opportunity to use Bear Grylls!
Now, seriously, these kind of "tool-watch" should use always positive display.
Pretty sure Grylls has some kind of deal with Luminox.
Actually..
People use this watch to office or mall
Fact..
watch the whole thing and can't figure out what is watch can do that other g-shock can't
My GWG 1000 is getting old….
Next time lock your car.
Bio Resin is stupid.
Bluetooth is stupid.
for 700usd the watch should have an emergency lighter, a flash light and a grappling hook.
