Casio G-SHOCK Mudmaster GWG-1000-1A3

What app do you use to sync your iPhone to the watch.

[@djpharoah7XL]

I use ClockWave on iPhone.

[@macman1138]

Thanks!

[@musiclaw1486]

As an Android smartphone user, I download: "Radio Watch Sync" from the Google Play Store and it works great!

WatchWave on iPhone.

[@artyboy1377]

@@musiclaw1486 Thank you so much! I didn't know i could ever time-sync using Multiband6 as my country lies outside the reception area!! It was a real shame that this higher end Mudmaster had no Bluetooth G-Shock Connect support but this is mitigated by the use of Multiband 6 via a mobile phone app thats just incredible!

[@gazziesukor4859]

i have this exact watch since 2015 and till today it's still going strong with rarely visible usermark. Don't need to even think or bother about battery and i know time will always be accurate due to the multiband 6. Such a beauty and beast of a watch!!

[@djpharoah7XL]

Beauty of the GSHOCKs 👍🏼

[@skylerphoenix8880]

I use the barometer all the time to assess if bad weather is moving in or clear weather is holding steady. Though this won’t work if changing altitudes while hiking it works great in camp or on the water.

The honeymoon with watch lasts forever.

[@spirg]

This model is roughly 6 years old and it’s still King or close to it , imo. That tells you something Got mine 2 weeks ago and I love it !!!

[@djpharoah7XL]

Noice! I’m stuck between this and the new 2000 series.

[@Nightmareman3]

The 2000 series looks tacky and off imo.

[@DookeyRidr]

I was looking at this exact model, but then decided to get the slightly smaller/sleeker Protrek PRW-7000. I believe it has all or similar features, but gives you sapphire and a different wearing experience. But I do love this one.

[@djpharoah7XL]

The protrek is pretty legit - enjoy 😎

[@kma86]

This one also comes with sapphire glass.

[@dalechristensen393]

You didn’t reference the sapphire crystal, which I think is a huge plus.

[@djpharoah7XL]

True - good point that I missed in the video. Thank you for pointing it out. 🍺

[@xxHydroponicxx]

Thx for your review. I’m busting to get a GWG 1000.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Enjoy.

[@xxHydroponicxx]

@@djpharoah7XL got it! Luv it!

[@ianmaw66]

The temperature gauge will require you to take the watch off your wrist for a while. Otherwise your body heat warms the watch and throws the temperature measurement off. I don't see a way to avoid this, from an engineering point of view.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Yeah I tried that… not sure how long it had to be of the wrist but I’m debating how accurate it’ll be.

[@tariksefic5628]

@@djpharoah7XL It is extremely accurate. Leave it off your wrist for 20 minutes and you'll get accurate readings.

[@djpharoah7XL]

I’ll try that - thank you sir!

[@rhythmicsound]

Do get to change the band on the Casio GWg 1000 to isofrane strap. If so , please send a video

[@djpharoah7XL]

You need a JaysandKays adapter for it and then you can use any strap!

[@jemandthemystery]

I owned and enjoyed this one but eventually had to admit defeat due to its sheer clunkiness on the wrist and/or with any long sleeve clothing. Moved to the G-Shock squares with the modern 3459 modules as they cover all the time, world time and timer/alarm functions much more elegantly. Sure, no barometer/altitude stuff but I don’t miss it.

[@djpharoah7XL]

They have a certain cool factor. The 1000 series is legit a chonky watch - the 2000 is a lot more wearable if you’re after the presence. Otherwise good luck with the tons of squares which are equally capable just less features 🤙🏼

[@tariksefic5628]

Actually, the carbon fiber insert in the band makes it more pliable and soft, resulting in superior comfort. But GWG-1000 is super comfy even without it. Best G-Shock of them all and one of the greatest watches ever.

[@djpharoah7XL]

I found the frogman bands to be very stiff due to the CF. Looking to try the newer analog one soon.

[@artyboy1377]

Gosh I love the 1A3's clock face but rather it has a black instead of a green strap :( This watch face definitely have better contrast and 'pop'. Should I go for this or the black strap model help me decide..

[@djpharoah7XL]

This one has the best lume of them all. If that’s important to you grab the 1A3 and a black strap off eBay.

[@artyboy1377]

@@djpharoah7XL Thanks, yes that would be the ideal solution!

[@skylerphoenix8880]

I’m so disappointed in the backlight. It’s positioned incorrectly to light up the digital display - which is already hard to read in anything but direct light/sunlight.

[@dalechristensen393]

The digital display has its own dedicated light to the right of the panel.

[@skylerphoenix8880]

@@dalechristensen393 Yeah but the bulb is positioned wrong so it doesn't actually light up the digital display very well.

[@adamski101]

The LCD is way too dim and the backlight only illuminates the number 6 on the dial. It's a dealbreaker.

[@spirit2014000]

Killer watch best g shock ever made always were it so comfortable and everyone always asks what type of watch is that proper mans watch military look a beast but hardly know its on your wrist.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Most definitely 🤙🏼

[@doctoruttley]

This is THE WATCH… Rolexes (Submariner date, Date just II two tone), Omega (Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronometer) and all my other G-Shocks (Rangeman GPR-B1000, full metal squares - all of them…) all gather dust in the safe and watch boxes because of this model. 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻

[@djpharoah7XL]

This is a killer watch - I ended up moving mine as I fell in love with the metal stuff from gshock.

[@revolutions88]

So it's a 22mm lug width?

[@djpharoah7XL]

It’s much thicker at the lugs but becomes 22mm where you would wear the band.

[@bradbach3819]

What app did you use to sync it up?

[@djpharoah7XL]

ClockWave on iOS.

[@fabiotedeschi8694]

@@djpharoah7XL Do you know if the Clockwave app works in Brazil?

[@djpharoah7XL]

Works any where in the world.

[@yorusuyasoul69420]

How about gwg2000?

[@djpharoah7XL]

I think GWG2000 is a better watch for fit, size and comfort. The digital screen and light is also better.

[@gmiii5385]

I love mine!

[@Outlander18]

are these all made in japan?

[@djpharoah7XL]

Most aren’t - movements are from Japan and built/cases in Thailand.

[@Outlander18]

@@djpharoah7XL I see them marked 'japan model'. Is that ok to buy or is it some knock-off or sub-level duplicate?

[@djpharoah7XL]

So the Japan Model or JDM models for the mudmaster are basically the same watch (movement MIJ, cased in Thailand) but they come with the JDM Master of G case and box. No metal Tin.

[@abar7178]

Million dollar question. on RC mode. who the hell does get the signal. I dont either and everyvideo I have seen they all say they dont get the signal

[@djpharoah7XL]

Don’t worry about the signal. There are now apps for your smart phones that can mimic the signals and are way better.

[@desireless4092]

This is how I feel about my D - Frog: The King of G - Shocks Too bad the analog frog was a let down, at least for me.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Yeah the analog frog seems to have been a disappointment for the hard core fans especially with the loss of certain features.

[@ianmayer2951]

I own this watch... I see lots of flaws with it.... it's too bad because it's a perfectly looking SHTF type of watch.. I love it esthetically... BUT... lots of features are useless... for instance I've tested the altimeter and compared it with my Garmin GPS... it's not accurate at all.. even after calibration, it needs to be recalibrated constantly.... so what's the point? the temp mode... if you can't wear the watch while you need temp readings what's the point? next thing that i feel it's a bummer is the countdown timer... only 60 mins? wtf? I mean what's the cost for Casio having a 24h countown ? and last... you can't see shit on that reverse display... it sure looks cool but wtf ? even the illumination sucks... I thought at this price point they would figure it out a little better. I like the watch but I would think again before buying it. ...oh and atomic time doesn't work.. another useless feature since I don't live near the towers. The crown thing is stupid... don't forget to screw it back in if you go under water.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Valid points. The thermometer works after 20min off wrist. The illumination seems to be better suited for the dial. For the lack of Mb6 reception there are many apps you can run on your smart phone to mimic the signal.

[@ianmayer2951]

@@djpharoah7XL I know the thermometer is accurate off the wrist but it's useless...... when you need to use it are you gonna actually take off the watch and wait for 20 freakin' minutes ?

[@skylerphoenix8880]

@@djpharoah7XL Can you state the atomic time mimic app you use or recommend?

[@djpharoah7XL]

For iOS it’s ClockWave. For Android it’s WWVB Emulator.

[@djpharoah7XL]

Agreed. I don’t use it all that much. I fell in love with the look and the huge analog dial.
