I bought the Casio G-Shock - G - 9300 Model it's never lost beat . Written on the 27th February 2023.

[@kenshi3vers]

what are you talking about about, buy it now if you can at that price is incredible ..but make sure it's not fake, and also live the link here if it's online purchase 😂😂

[@eradnegan1094]

nice review as always! when i first got into watches about 3 years ago, didnt much like g shocks being so large and plastic, but now i have a change of heart and these videos really help to inform about another spectrum of offerings in this wonderful world of horology. thanks so much and have a merry Christmas!

[@andreww1212]

My first G-Shock was the G9300 Mudman back in 2012. It helped me out a lot during hurricane Sandy, at my job and during the last semesters of college. A lot of memories for sure. I still have it and it's still going strong albeit a little beat up. I ended up retiring it for the GW-9400 Rangeman. It's like the Mudman just upgraded. The Rangeman is the ultimate whereas the Mudman is slightly less. I like the look of the Mudman more.

[@salmatosjr5285]

Thanks for year of great watch reviews. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

[@SoyYoshi91b]

Still have mine after 6 years and the straps are still holding up great and glass is barely beat love this time to upgrade to fenix tho

[@MadMaxx1977]

Nice video! I tried both watches. Kept the Mudman, returned the Rangeman because it's just too big. I recently got my hands on a new Mudman in the desert camo color (tan bezel/brown strap). I luv it!!

[@treysanders4509]

I have both. The mudman is my favorite. It’s a perfect size on my wrist and it’s more comfortable. Great review.

[@lonestardude6283]

Love my range man, especially the weather warning! I was curious about this mud man, so thanks for posting! I also have the older mud man and absolutely love the backlight on it because it even lights up all the “text” on the watch face, are there any other models that do that as well that you know of?

Good review video, thanks. I have the Rangeman which I love. I do like the sunset/sunrise feature of the Rangeman. I am considering getting the Mudman, same one you reviewed. It looks a bit more compact, but hear the buttons are hard to press, or whether I go for a G-square like the GW5000u-1. Still looking into it.

[@hamishalexander5048]

I have many G.Shocks but Mudman in Japanese version for Multiband 6 is my Favorite. ;) I also have the Range man but for me the Mudman has the clearer Display and Compass is way better to read on that. Also i prefer the Backlight there, you dont want to bright at dark night...and its smaller. And i dont need ALT/Baro most of the time. What i like is the Moon Phase too.I also like the Rangeman but the Mudman(Japanese, i just need Atomic) is just my to go Watch :)

[@vinchel118]

Does the Japanese mudman have temp reading in farenheit?

[@kma86]

@@vinchel118 I own a Japanese version of the Mudmaster GWG-1000, and it does have the option to display temperature readings in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. So I'm assuming the Mudman might have the same feature. But do check before you purchase.

Is it comfortable to wear? I just bought Dw5600 online and i think the strap a bit stiff and not comfortable to wear..

Casio - G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-1000-1A3 - 770 USD For me, the obvious entering point in the MUD series (not in the G-Shock one) is "1.", mid size (for a G); build as a tank; many useful features. In addition ... I love the back with this foraging mole - absolutely awesome stuff, despite of its 13 years-old design (feature too).

Great model Love the 9300 mudman My first G shock watch was G 9000 mudman It is a mudman A great cheap G shock So rugged To be honest I prefer the mudman over the Rangeman The actual screen/ watch face of the rangeman looks washed out

[@user-ye7ph7hi3z]

how do you adjust the light to move with the movement of the hand?

[@wasw]

Press and hold light button, when LT is on, that's auto light, it will turn on when you move it to be parallel to the ground i think, and it only turns on at night (unless you have a g without a solar cell, then it turns on when you move your hand even at day)

[@copythat10_44]

Just got it today.

[@thegodfather1911]

Nice review, but it seems you're selling up the Rangeman instead of an unbiased review of the Mudman. I own the Japanese version of the Mudman and love it. Yes it doesn't have all of the features of the Rangeman but I think it looks leaps and bounds better than the Rangeman and is extremely functional. I particularly like the moon phase/age and atomic timekeeping. The Rangeman looks like a transformer on your wrist.

[@brianbuchert6382]

I have the rangeman and I love it,wear it a lot,but I still want the g-9300 mud man to add to my collection it’s just a really cool watch!

[@cherchil]

Are the lugs on rangeman really that bad as people say?

[@IrespectUtoo]

I have this watch about 1 year and have noticed a noticeable gap between the bezel and the module. If you turn the watch over, looking at the stainless steel backplate, all around the edge of the SS backplate is the hard plastic module in which the electronics of the watch is stored. Right beside that is the protective rubber bezel case that surrounds the whole watch. Now between the rubber bezel and the module there is a gap. If I squeeze the rubber case/bezel between my fingers, the rubber flexes and the gap closes, when I let go the gap returns.. The gap on the watch are about 1mm. Is this normal for a lot of Casio watch rubber bezels to fit a bit loose causing a gap between the bezel and the watch module/backplate? The gap is on the sides of the watches i.e. 3 o' clock and 9 o'clock position, not were the band is attaches to the watch. The gap is only seen looking at the back of the watch, not the top/front of the watch.

[@OvidiuHretcanu]
