The highly anticipated GWG-1000 Mudmaster is now available for sale. This new model combines features of the Mudman and Rangeman with an analog/digital hybrid display. It has a case design that looks like a cross between an aviation G-Shock and the Rangeman, giving it a tough and tactical appearance. Model numbers are GWG-1000-1A (black), GWG-1000-1A3 (black with olive band), and GWG-1000-1A9 (black with yellow band). List price is $750.
The GWG-1000 is designed to withstand harsh environments like the desert or mud. It has a protected button structure like the Rangeman. In addition to mud resistance the watch is also resistant to heavy vibration. Like the Rangeman, the Mudmaster features the Triple Sensor with compass bearing, altimeter/barometer, and thermometer. It also has Tough Solar charging and Multi-Band 6 radio time synchronization along with the standard shock and water resistance (200 meters). Other specs include low temperature resistance to -10°C or 14°F, world time (29 cities, DST on/off), stopwatch (24 hours, modes: elapsed time, split time, 1st and 2nd place times), countdown timer (max 60 minutes), 5 daily alarms, hourly time signal, auto-calender, and dual LED backlights for the analog and digital displays. The watch measures 59.5 × 56.1 × 18.0 mm and weighs approximately 119 grams. Pictured is the GWG-1000-1A3.
The new Mudmaster is a tactical-style watch that combines advanced technical features with extreme durability and takes the analog-style G-Shock to another level. Casio has been focusing on analog designs for its high-end G-Shock watches lately, and it will be interesting to see how this trend continues in future models. The GWG-1000 will be getting a lot of attention as one of the premium G-Shock models.

GWG-1000 MUDMASTER PROMOTIONAL VIDEO:
UPDATE: The retail price for the GWG-1000 is $750. Recently discovered leaked model numbers also show a listing for a GWG-1000GB-1A “Master of G Black and Gold” seasonal December 2015 release for $800.
UPDATE (August 24): Casio America announced the release of the Mudmaster GWG1000-1A3 and GWG1000-1A9 and stated the Mudmaster is part of the Master of G line.
Usability Update: The Mudmaster GWG-1000 has proven to be very popular, especially with customers in the United States and Europe who are looking for a very large and rugged outdoor watch.
GWG-1000 Pros: Triple Sensor for outdoor activities. The electronic crown allows for quick and easy setting adjustments. Very rugged style with mud and dust resistance. Ideal for large wrists.
GWG-1000 Cons: May be too large for smaller wrists. No sunrise and sunset time like the Rangeman GW-9400. Only available with inverted LCD display, which can be more difficult to read.
Alternatives: The battery-powered Mudmaster GG-B100 is smaller with a Triple Sensor plus a step counter and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. The Rangeman GW-9400 offers similar functions with an all-digital display. The GBD-H1000 also has a Triple Sensor and solar charging plus a step tracker, heart rate monitor, and GPS timekeeping. There are also many Pro Trek watches with Tough Solar and the Triple Sensor.

Got GWG in November in the green band. It’s awesome. I do construction work and I’m an outdoors type person so far it has held up good. I don’t believe I will mess it up on the construction site. Only complaint is that the rubberized plastic bezel has a matte black finish because of its size it rubs on the inside of my jacket sleeve. Now it is becoming shiny in spots that come in contact with long sleeve clothing. So basically the matte finish is getting a Polish from clothing.

Where can I buy a yellow band for the mudmaster??? Thanks
Thank you. Actually what i mean is that this noise is like a creak, not the normal beep noise that all buttons do when you press them. in general i find the mode button looser compared to the other ones. This is what i wanted to know if it is normal.
Did this noise ever go away for you? I just received my Mudmaster and mine does the same thing. Mode button is just slightly more loose than the others… with a squeaky / creaky noise.
Just received mine, it also has a squeaky/noisy mode button, this button also looks and feels looser than all the other buttons. Found some people complaining about this online… I wonder if they all have it?

Hi All,
Other than the slightly higher cost and that it is for the japanese market, what does the Japanese distribution version GWG-1000-1AJF have over the GWG-1000-1A? Do both versions have saffire face and carbon fiber insert bands? Thanks
They are the same, but Mudmaster watches do not have carbon fiber insert bands. If the model number is the same before the JF or JR suffix then it has the same features.

Hi
I was talking to Casio trough facebook today and when i asked what the difference between buying an GWG 1000 in Sweden compared to buying a DR model was they said that a watched bought in Europe would intercept the signal from an antenna in Germany to calibrate time and that a Japanese model would only intercept the signal from japan cause of another radio frequency. So to my question, is this true? Will the DR watch intercept the signal or can i change the frequency on my own so it does? (i live in Sweden) And if it dont do I really need time calibration through radio transmitting? I would be happy if just the summer/winter time worked.
Please scroll down and read what i pasted from their website.
Best regards
Emil.
The following is copied from the specs of a GWG-1000 at G-shocks website.
Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping (US, UK, Germany, Japan, China)
Receives time calibration radio signals which keep the displayed time accurate
Auto receive function (up to 6 times per day/up to 5 times per day for China)
Manual receive function
Signal: US WWVB, UK MSF, Germany DCF77, Japan JJY40/JJY60, China BPC
Frequency: US 60kHz, UK 60kHz, Germany 77.5kHz, Japan 40/60kHz, BPC 68.5kHz
And this is from Casio Europe/Swedens site.
Whether you are in Europe, North America and Japan or parts of Canada, Central America and China – once the watch has been set to the local time zone, it receives the relevant signal and shows the exact time. In many countries, it also sets summer and winter on their own.
With the Multi-Band 6 feature the watch can receive the signals from all six transmitters in the five different countries. It is not limited to only one transmitter or one country. Yes, just set the home city and it should work if you are within range of the transmitter. Keep in mind some parts of Sweden are not in range but Stockholm should be. The DR suffix just means the watch is designated for export outside Japan.

i have a rescue red mudmaster and i have noticed that every time i press the mode button i hear a small noise like a squeak. is this something normal?
Yes that is normal but you can set it so it doesn’t beep when you press the buttons. See section E-99 in the manual here. https://support.casio.com/en/manual/manualsearch.php?cid=009&MODULE=5463

Did this noise ever go away for you? I just received my Mudmaster and mine does the same thing. Mode button is just slightly more loose than the others… with a squeaky / creaky noise.
And mine does the same. Very annoying.
Any fixes? Warranty claim?
Yes its normal. A lot of us having it
Just received mine, it also has a squeaky/noisy mode button, this button also looks and feels looser than all the other buttons. Found some people complaining about this online… I wonder if they all have it?
Hi can you tell me if the band of the gg -1000 mudmaster Will fit on the New gwg mudmaster
No, it won’t. Bottom part of the strap does not have a “notch” in GG-1000 and in GWG-1000 it does.
I’m getting a GWG-1000GB-1A but what the difference between this and GWG-1000GB-1ADR? Is that export set?
Yes “DR” means it’s an export model.
I’m in dubai…I want this mudmaster ….where I get this new model…?

You live in seattle Washington what is the time zone setting?
Will there be a mudmaster with a quad sensor soon ?
I don’t think so because the Mudmaster is more of a “land” model while the Frogman and Gulfmaster are the “sea” models, but I suppose it is possible…
