Casio Men’s ‘G-Shock’ Quartz Resin Casual Watch, Color:Black (Model: GWG-100-1A8CR) Review

A newG-Shock GWG-100 Mudmasterline has been revealed. Models include the blackGWG-100-1A, olive greenGWG-100-1A3, and grayGWG-100-1A8. Like its big brother theGWG-1000and unlike theGG-1000, the GWG-100 is equipped with Tough Solar power and Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping. Unlike those other two Mudmaster lines the GWG-100 does not have any environmental sensors. Features include shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, mud and dust resistance, world time, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, and full auto double LED Neon Illuminator and Super Illuminator light. All three models have silver buckles and resin strap keepers. The dimensions are 56.2 x 54.9 x 17.3 mm which is similar to the GG-1000 (56.2 x 55.3 x 17.3 mm) and smaller than the GWG-1000 (59.5 x 56.1 x 18 mm). The GWG-100 Mudmaster looks to be a good option for those who want the tough look and ruggedness of the GWG-1000 but in a smaller and more affordable version, and prefer a solar and radio-powered model over the GG-1000 Mudmaster with Twin Sensor. A distinguishing feature of the GWG-100 is the full auto double LED light with both the Neon Illuminator for the hands and index and the Super Illuminator for the LCD displays, versus the standard double LED light of the GWG-1000 and the sole Super Illuminator of the GG-1000. The Neon Illuminator is essentially a black light LED that illuminates the analog hands and markings very clearly in the dark. Features include shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, mud and dust resistance, Neo Brite luminous hands and markers, Tough Solar, Multi-Band 6, world time (48 cities + UTC), 1/100 second stopwatch (60 minutes total with split), countdown timer (100 minutes), 5 alarms, battery level indicator, and full auto double LED light with Neon Illuminator and Super Illuminator.

This MUDMASTER model was created especially for this whose work takes it into areas where piles of rubble, dirt, and debris are present. A special vibration-resistant construction lets them stand up to wear while operating cutters, crushers, drills and other heavy machinery to clear way large obstacles. This is CASIO’s first analog watch to come with Mud Resist construction, which helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge. Multiple gaskets are used on the pipes that guide buttons and shafts, which keeps mud out. These pipes not only act to protect buttons from impact, they also enhance button operation. The screw-in force of the screw lock bezel on an internal gasket further increases mud resistance. Please note that the home city must be selected before any time settings will be saved.
