Casio has brought the GWG-B1000-1A3, the newest model in its Master of G Mudmaster series, to the US market. After initially launching in Japan last month, the watch is now available directly through Casio’s US website for $880.
Design Details
The watch has a straightforward, tactical-inspired design. It skips flashy colors in favor of a matte olive-green urethane band, a black multi-textured case, and muted tan accents on the dial.
Casio is continuing its recent shift toward alternative materials here, using bio-based resin for the primary components of the bezel, case, and band. The display is an analog-digital hybrid, covered by sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating to keep it readable in direct sunlight.
As the Mudmaster name implies, the physical build is specifically engineered to keep dirt and debris out. It uses Casio’s Carbon Core Guard structure integrated with stainless steel.
To block mud and dust, the watch features cylindrical stainless-steel button guards, gaskets on the button shafts, and a screw-lock crown. Inside, the module is lined with αGEL to absorb physical vibrations, which sits alongside the standard G-Shock shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance.
For hardware, it includes Casio’s Triple Sensor setup, meaning you get a compass, an altimeter/barometer, and a thermometer directly on the wrist. It also has Bluetooth to connect to the Casio Watches app on iOS and Android.
This handles automatic time syncing and adds features like a mission log and a Location Indicator. When using the indicator, the seconds hand points north, while a separate indicator hand points toward a specific location you’ve previously saved in the app.
It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar system, which charges the battery using ambient light. Casio says it can run for about six months on a full charge without seeing any light.
If you don’t have your phone connected for time syncing, the watch defaults to Multi-Band 6 radio control to sync with atomic clocks globally. It also features a double LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.
In related news, Casio has launched the G-Shock Frogman GWFD1000BC-1 in the US with sapphire crystal and triple sensor technology. The company has also introduced the Pro Trek PRJB001EX-1, featuring a reversible strap with a hidden storage pocket.
