- All Things Mudmaster: Touchstone Tactical Watches
Mud in the house! Here I'll take you on a complete Mudmaster journey with both homage and genuine Casios. You'll see them in action in TNP to include tactical shoots, SCUBA ops, boating, and more. Striking variations will be shown that you'll probably want. There's nothing like the real thing and some cool GG1000 and GWG1000 Mudmasters lay some slap down on the review table. But don't discount the highly affordable, highly proven here Mudmaster homages like Sanda, Skmei, and especially SMAEL. TNPrs here love theirs, the have all the looks, wilder colors, and for the money are high quality.
The focus however is on the genuine Casio Mudmasters and there's nothing like the real deal. These are rugged, great looking watches that have high legibility and useful functions like real alarms, timers, ABC, waterproofness, atomic time keeping (GWG1000), and solar power (GWG1000). Yep they're much more expensive but quality often is.
We won't spend too much time in functions here, instead concentrating on the great looks and my own adventure experiences with the Mudmaster (shown!). Many cool variations of both the Casio and homage watches are studies here. These attention getting, tactical looking timepieces that will make you happy as you choose it for your EDC wear.

"Emerson Evans I loved this video. So I'm not a watch guy. I got one of the citizen pilot watches that you suggested Nutn and then I have a smart watch. I like classic looks but then this video was a great intro into why people like the tactical looking watches and I think I understand now. I think that orange second hand on that blue smael watch would be awesome looking. also... is that the savage A22 youre shooting at 0:55 and then again near the end of the video? 3w The Nutnfancy Project Thanks Emerson, that is a Savage A22 Magnum and that review is complete...just waiting its turn in posting. 1 3w Load 1 reply John Unterkofler Awesome video. I’ve always worn a watch, but since following the project it’s opened my eyes to so many fun and cool timepieces that are for the most part pretty affordable. Keep up all the hard work Nutn. 2 3w The Nutnfancy Project Thank you John, glad I can be of service 3w Chris Great vid you really hit the nail on the head as usual nutn! 3w The Nutnfancy Project Thank you Chris! 3w Bluegill097 Glad I watched this vid! (Pun?) I was about to ditch the SMAEL you sent me because the analog hands stopped moving, now I’m going to attempt the battery replacement surgery once you post that vid 3w The Nutnfancy Project Roger that Bluegill, I will try to post that one soon 3w Tacticaldoodle I'm holding out until they have a Zeon one for some gundam anniversary they seem to have every few months. That last one was kinda ugly but I like the little model decals they have on them. 3w Pedro Love gundam and if the collection was cheaper I’d buy it for my kids to watch someday. I would love to see a nier automata Casio crossovers. 3w Morris FUN FACT: I still rock the black/orange SMAEL that I received from a TNP giveaway over a year ago. It's been to work and even got banged up, yet still runs on the original battery and still has the screen protector Nutn put on it 3w The Nutnfancy Project So excellent Morris! I just love these watches they are so fun. The advantage of the SMAEL is they are lighter weight of course. 4min Danny Borrello Catching up on my patreon vids, thanks to being sick, lol. I need to get a watch one of these days, do you recommend any Casio in a mid size? 3w The Nutnfancy Project Hey I'm sick too! I got my surgery two days ago so I am able to catch up on some comments. Yes a great Casio midsize would be the GB 800, smart watch. Really excellent features, affordable, many different colors. Also consider the GA2000 tinyurl.com/yxbmjcot 4min david rockwell The Casio GG and GWG are a big miss from aesthetic paradigm. The excessively large case, bulbous buttons and tacky plastic bands are extremely off putting. The review is great and your enthusiasm for the type is appreciated. The Seiko SKX007 or Laco JU-52 Type C is a preferred style when considering a large wrist watches. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 1 3w The Nutnfancy Project I totally get what you're saying David, they are big bulky and they do not make a lot of sense from an SAWC perspective. But they do make me so happy. And the nice thing is I am able to switch back-and-forth from some more streamlined watches. Each one has its own personality, it's on look, it makes me feel differently. 7min Daniel Ingoglia Thanks for continuing to do watch reviews, I love them! I'm a fan of Casio and bought the PRG-600 based on your recommendation, it's such a great watch. I also have the GG1000 and GA1100, they're nice and sporty for the gym and for shooting. As a matter of fact, I use the compass function on these watches fairly often, especially when I travel. 2 3w The Nutnfancy Project Hi Daniel! Thanks so much for the support in the watch reviews, I need it. Congrats on some great watches, the PRG600 is one of my all-time favorites. I love the GG and GA as well so excellent! Glad to hear the watch show is working for you 8min Benjamin Krage So nutn, you know how with your ideal AR-15 with two uppers sharing a lower. I have been trying to do the same thing for my next bolt gun. I have a Tikka T3x in 7mm rem. and it's excellent but also high recoiling. Living in Alaska, the 7mm is great for everything but not necessary for smaller game like caribou or whitetail. I want my next bolt gun to be accurate out to 1000 yds and ideal for both hunting/bench rest long-range precision shooting. So I thought I'd use your perfect ar-15 philosophy for a perfect bolt gun, one barrel, one scope, two different stocks. One stock for hunting smaller game and the other for precision shooting with friends. It sounds expensive, but so was the perfect ar 15 project. I'm considering a Christensen Arms Ridgeline CF barrel chambered in 6.5 creedmore and then buying a boyds At One stock or the same KRG X-Ray chassis to swap out for the long range days. let me know what you think. Be it known, I have all the other ar's, pistols, shotguns needed in the armory save a SAPR. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Hi Benjamin! Sounds like you've done some good thinking on the project. I really like your choice of 6.5 Creedmoor. I do think Christiansen Arms guns are overpriced for what you get. I would look at some higher value options perhaps that provide the same performance. For instance the Diamondback A.R. 10 I reviewed. I would also stick to a single configuration in that particular caliber. It is long range and I would just kind of keep it that way. You should be able to get an AR 10 at about 7.5 to 8 pounds if you watch all the excess arising very carefully. Also check to see if POF is making that 6.5 C in direct gas impingement yet. That could be a big win. I'm trying to get a hold of one for review. Doug Irelan Liked the WRV. Casio PRO TREK PRG 600 is my favorite. #2 is the digital version PRW3000. 4w James A. Goins Still have the Smael you sent Nutn, its my daily watch while on patrol. So far has survived multiple wrestling matches and a couple nasty spills lol but the OG Mudmaster is still tempting! 4w Lee Harrell You sent a Smael to me, and I love it. Thanks for the excellent watch review! Keep it up! 4w Joshua kinnunen I also received a smael. Fun watch. Thanks! 4w Maplebrew I ran the green SMAEL for a period of 2 years before its death and switched to the blue LAD Weather Atomic Solar watch. It too died a hard death of tig welding, baling hay, hammering and trail riding before the second hand fell off 4w Maplebrew Has anyone looked into or purchased a MVMT Field 41 Watch? 3w Harold Galen McPheron Cool watches.... 4w Rob Rizzo that GWG with the orange strap is sick looking! I need one 4w Joe The atomic time feature is really neat, I really enjoy something that is accurate and correct, but also enjoying my throw back Invicta Rolex fake. With a Japanese nh35a long as I hand wind it every 3 days it'll only gain 2 to 4 seconds a day, despite it being automatic self wind I'm a desk jokey and even though I walk my dog everyday I'm not active enough to keep it going. Note for any other guys holding down a chair most of the day! 3w Joe Looking at some of those Casios, wow they have a lot of stuff built in them. Amazing 2 3w Pedro My biggest suggestion to Casio would be to simplify the watch model codes, sell JDM watches world wide."
Did u ever do a step by step how to change a batterie by ur self with the mud master gwg casio series? I cant remember an I cant find it anywhere on the internet I belive... either way awsome video!
I also wish they would make the gwg mudmaster with some gun sight tritium hands and numbers .that would be so sick!
Nutn! Kids got the day off from school and I'm hanging with them all day. Post the vids to give me somethin to watch. KRVs... KRVs ... KRVs!!!
I actually do use the ABC functions on my GWG1000(especially the altimeter)but don't wear it much in the colder months unless I am hunting. Purchased 3 different SMAELS, decent but sold/gave them to a buddy who's destroyed 2 so far.
I've moved on to mid-upper Seikos and Tudors but, your wrv's have helped spark a life long passion. Thanks Nutn
For mountaineering and even just finding a location on a topo map in mountainous terrain having an altimeter is important. Plus the baro for storms! Phones can fail in mountain cold winds plus no signal. I know this from a decade of skiing, climbing, and taking pics haha.
You got me hooked on Casio a long time ago , because of you and your vids on them I’ve bought already over 7 top models ... and counting . Thx
Rare to see a channel with a guy that actually swims/dives with the watch. More reviews like that would be cool :)
Cool WRV, I love my TNP Mudmaster homage. I get comments about the cool red band/blue highlights. Thanks again.
So glad to hear that Dave, the colorations in the homages are just amazing!
Perfect timing! I was literally looking at these on Amazon just yesterday and thinking about getting one.
The manual movement on my SMAEL died a few weeks back, so now I'm tempted to dip into the real thing.
Sorry to hear that my friend. The good news it is cheap! I do recommend getting a genuine Casio in the collection, you will love it and they will last pretty much forever.
@@nutnfancy my SMAEL is still working 2 years later...I'll spend 15 bucks every two years....lots of vids out there on how to change the batts.
Dooooooo it my gwg has been makin me jizz since last Christmas 8D
Awesome! Saving for later. I have the GWG-1000 Japanese import version with the black and gold scheme. Love it! Have the mudman as well, but that mostly rides in the pack.
Huge watch nerd here! Love the WRV's. I've wanted a GWG for years, but never pull the trigger on one. Solar atomic kicks ass. I have a couple of ProTrek's (with NATO strap) that fills the bill. Wish Casio would get on board with some variety in the band colors. Might have to get a GG to pacify me. The positive display works best for my eyes. Thanks Nutn!
RowdyRon I rock the Casio GW9400-3 Rangeman fitted with Jays and Kays bull bars & strap adaptors with an ODG ZULU strap. Solar, atomic, altimeter, barometer, compass & thermometer. I wear it everyday. It takes a whoopin’ and couldn’t care less. Love it! Less than $200. Nutnfancy review ua-cam.com/video/c2qtZROmvY4/v-deo.html
@@CoordinatedCarry Sounds like a great value option! Thanks for the good idea.
Hello rowdy Ron! Thanks for the great comment. Solar atomic does indeed kick ass. I love low maintenance watches! I agree that Casio is behind the curve on colorized straps for these watches. If you have an earlier GG the SMAEL's will fit on it as indicated in the video. I to like the positive display best
@@nutnfancy I couldn't take it any more. I have a GWG-1000-1A coming tomorrow!
Got the GBD-800-8ER a few months ago on a sale,so far I love it. The "Power saving Bluetooth" can be a bit confusing at first,I thought my watch would re sync with my phone automatically like most Bluetooth products works. But it took me a little while to get used to manually synk it back to the app to update the step log info etc.
this is THE only watch channel
LOVE the watch videos! Keep em coming
Black (YES, Black) Smeal on the handlebars of my sportbike. 1 year later and it still rocks. Way the hell too big for my 6" wrist.
Hello nutnfancy, I've been a long time viewer of your channel and like yourself I am into military memorabilia. I'm very surprised your not into nvg reviewing more, I recently purchased a pulsar Challenger, which is just a cheap night vision monocular, but man! It blew my mind. There are some reviewer's who do night vision reviews, but no one who describes the quality of a product like you. I hope you continue making great videos and would love to see some night vision and helmet setups and reviews!
How awesome. The actual watch I'm wearing today is a Casio GG1000 homage; a Samda Sport Watch. It's black with white numbers and hands. I can't afford an actual GG1000 Mudmaster. I'm very happy with the Samda and wear it several times a week.
Great review awesome ending 👍😃
Great video, imo the Skmei homage watches are the best quality
Got the GG 1000 for summer work then I switch back to the dw5600 in the winter because its easier to manage bulky winter clothes around a smaller watch
just wanted to share some information about the smeal name, you may already know. But I live in the Charlotte N.C. area and driving up to a stop light next to a fire truck I noticed the driver had a nice watch on his wrist not sure what size it was but it had a big face looked like a smeal watch. Also on the fire truck I noticed that a lot of their equipment had the name smeal on it, i'm guessing name brand equipment so I guess thats where they got the name. Keep up the good work I enjoy watching all of your videos and your son and wife great videos and good information witch is why I have purchased a few knives and guns because of your videos, thank you.
Great overview, many thanks for sharing
I don't even like these type of watches but hearing Nutn do WRVs is my favorite right now. I'm on a watch kick, upgrading that part of my EDC and just about every other watch UA-camr plain sucks. Craig Shipp is really great and practical but he's all about the Rolex and GRAND Seiko watches, which are way above my price range. Please keep doing the Watch Review Videos, Nutn.
I have the GWG1000-1A3, green army band master of g. If it dint have the "screwed fn crown" it would be the perfect G. Can read this analog easier than my ROLEX 16610. And the led light for illumination is sweet especially set to 3 seconds, "on". Nice review nutnfancy...
GWG 1000 is my favorite watch
You should really check out the Casio prg-330 line they seem very similar to the CLASSIC pag240 that's been my EDC for 5 years and counting but slimmer and newer with some sweet color options
I have the Mud Master ..Master of G with a camo band and it's my favorite watch.
Love the functionality, hate the snag!
what are your thoughts on the Garmin Instinct tactical and tactix series?
I wish their was a GSG thrown in the mix for review and size comparisons, Nobody ever has that model.
Nutnfancy,
Seeing how you know how to go inside of these watches how hard do you think it would be to go inside the GGB100 1A triple sensor mudmaster that has the Bluetooth and eliminate the Bluetooth?
I really want that watch but for my line of work I cannot have Bluetooth capabilities on my body. I know it could be manually turned off but still cannot have that on my person while doing my special line of work seeing how there's possibilities of an outside party being able to sense objects nearby with Bluetooth even when off.
John doe the answer is buy the more expensive, GWG 1000, problem solved.
Ironically the analog on my Smael started losing time just this week... seems to get stuck around 35 min, but for the price paid I’m not upset.
Most will not use these functions right now but if their smart watch dies, or the system goes down, the ABC watch is good backup. That is the exact reason you have a bugout bag, right? You're not using it daily, but it is there when SHTF. 😉
Can you do a Taurus G3 review please
How about Casio GShock Rangeman GPR-B1000-1BER?
G9300 Mudman fan here
Where is PFI ?
Excellent Outro!
Dang, Nut'n . . . What time is it? Are you sure??
I've used these Smale products since you first reviewed them. They are great watches for the price. I beat the hell out of all my Smale watches. I buy them on ebay for under 15 dollars each shipped to my door.
Have you checked out the Garmin Fenix Series watches? I think Nutn would likey. Mud Masters are tight, but I prefer the Luminox for a non-smart watch.
Great watch !!
Nutn! How do you Feel about the Ares Watch Co.? American made watches built in Washington State, Diver-1 Line, and just released GMT timer. Pretty amazing time pieces!
Some of them are pretty cool. We’ve checked out a couple but I don’t know it they ended up on the confirmed list or not. -Doodle
nutnfancy I’m really happy with mine. Got it about 2 months ago! You guys rock, been following since way back in 08’ 🤘
Wait till you see the Casio "G-Steel" watches Nutn. A whole new addiction will begin...
NUTN have you ever considered looking into NFW watches?
It's about damn time. G-Shock for life son. No fakes or knock-offs for me.
Still rockin my GA1000-1A Aviator from your review. Love it but I have to say the one thing I don't like is the negative display. It's too hard to read. I'm in your camp on this one.
Thank you.
Awesomeness 👍😲
Mudmaster gg 1000 two years in, wear everyday. I took your advice and purchased smael first then Mudmaster. Gave away the smael and two years later guy still wears it! 😃
I love my MTG and would like to get the mud master but my next watch will be a Rolex. Gonna take me a wile to get it though.
3:16 “I’m really on a mission to turn guys on…” -Nutnfancy
Great video Nutn’. Just ordered a new Mudmaster on your recommendation. Hope you and your family are doing great!
The SMAEL is pretty... Just don't count on using it to keep accurate time. My digital clock loses 4-5 minutes every month lol.
As an owner of a genuine mudmaster GG-1000 they are not the easiest to set.
like MTM better but they need to upgrade the movement
Im surprise you never review mudman before
I did review the GG but not the GWG version, I got a hold of this one because I had many requests for the review!
For anyone wondering about the GWG-1000, big daddy G-Shock, WORTH THE MONEY, BUY IT.
Cool, also like camping backpacking gear reviews
I can’t get into the fake smael stuff. Casio and Timex make quality digitals for only a few bucks more.
750 for watch? new HK instead
I paid $932 for mine. 100% worth it.
SHEEPDOG DUDE LUV YAH TNP
Yo Nutn - go to Google Images, and search "google halloween 2019". Owl + Shed = TNP
By the way, here's one TNPer who loves the fun colors like you do. But you can keep the fanny pack...
Cheers
Brian
Just joined your patreon and didn’t get a watch 😭😭😭
TOO EXPENSIVE! ILL STICK WITH MY SMAEL
if you cannot afford original and you love how the watch looks then someone could understand why you get cheap fake watches, but if you already have the real deal why whould you ever use fake if you have watches which will last longer than us?
They're good for a bike/moto handlebar watch you don't worry about getting stolen. I wouldn't risk a mudmaster in a parking lot. -Doodle
@@nutnfancy I understand, but you have so many of them 😉 that is why I am confused. I personally would buy like 2 or 3 fakes and 2 originals for example 😉 but I understand. One is not enough. I have bought my first GShocks 2 days ago and I already have plans to buy more and more 😁. I am starting to understand the addiction
If you pronounce SMAEL in a more european way, it sounds like an english SMILE. Now it still makes no sense but in a different way.
these are too chunky and too many buttons...
Yo, you gotta stop wearing those cheap Chinese Amazon G-shock knockoff watches. They are soooo cringe. They are the fashion watch of the tactical world. Get a damn Timex expedition if you want to wear a tough budget watch. You can get a real GShock Mudman G9000 for $55. You can get the smaller square GShocks for $40ish. This fake GShock stuff is like ordering body armor from China.
Ah shit....another watch review.
No thanks,not for me, I'm a man with a guyPhone and a man purse...which is even more ghey than a watch video...MY opinions and my advice: buy a new Ar10 or Ar15 lower... better investment
For those watching, skip to 15:00 and you will see a gun.
OK, just stop. Stop. Now. Stop. Searching for the Nutn P226 series.
