- I bought a G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-2000 when they first came out and subsequently sold it as it just wasn't getting worn.
Find out why I've just bought another one!

Comparing apple watch with a G-Shock is silly. To me there is no ''soul'' in those smart watches, I have a Garmin myself and when I look at it just feels bland and borring altough it's way more advanced then any of my G-shocks or any G-shock in general. When I first bought Garmin I thought I will wear it every day and neglect my g-shocks but after few weeks I went back to my G's. I just feel happier looking at them.
This is really strange but same thing has happened to me. First i had gwg-1000 and then i bought Garmin instinct 2x solar. I wear that few weeks but.....something wasnt right. Then i swiched back to g-shock and now im happy
Great review man. I love that color way!! Cheers!
100% it’s a must buy for any GShock fan. It’s just a beautiful big watch 👌
I completely agree, particularly in this colourway! 😍
Agree especially now second hand ones are at such a good price. This watch is as tough as it comes. I like the look of the new B1000 but really not a fan of the metal keeper. For me the gwg100 is a really under rated mudmaster. All the best.
@@LeftyNortherner I will own that new 1K as soon as funds allow!!
As someone who is just getting into watches , I decided I’m going to get the 2000, as my 1st watch, how could you not look at it and not smile
I
Enjoy! It’s an amazing watch and welcome omen G-Shock community!
Nice colour that one. I like the new model with the red strap
Yes, this is my favorite version of the 2K, and I'm with you on the new 1K, the red one will be in my possession at some point this year!
Yours or the new one the only gshock I’d consider buying right now. My ultra just does everything I want plus my garmin instinct solar blows the Gshocks away
I am a 135# female wearing a Mudmaster and it is HUGE on my wrist, but it feels like something substantial, so that's alright.
I love gadgets!
Good review mate, hoping that that’s the dog snoring or the missus 😮
lol pugs!
I just ordered a b1000 red. Gonna shelf my Rolexes and Omega for a while and try something different.
Nice. At least you;ll be able to wear it in public!
Cool review and I assume your dog had a nice nap ;P
🤣 That's Pugs for you ...
I wore one for like 3 years its on its 3rd battery and it took me to this point to learn how to use it. It wasnt my first gshock either. for anyone who has it i learned the hard way you dont need declination unless you need it. lol. I set it to my location and basically went stone cold for about 36 months.
It’s solar. Are you referring to the GGB100?
@@pointeighteen2437 yeah my bad I musta got the color way mixed up when I saw this thumbnail of the video 😂
@@typerightseesight how do you like it?
@@pointeighteen2437 I wore it for like 3 years and loved it except it's kind of gimmicky because although its super accurate and does work well. The triple sensor stuff is about as simple as it gets if you just want a cool watch. I upgraded to the grb300 which has 6 more dials on the face and an actual functioning pull out crown. imo thats the kinda watch you wanna wear.
I totally agree with your point of view.
Im an huge apple fan and hope to work for them someday since im going into IT BUT while the Apple Watch is a wonderful device it does not have the same survivability as a G Shock. I have to keep a protector on my Apple Watch so it won’t scratch. G Shock is ready to go day one. Now I will say that this is NOT a smartwatch so if you want a smartwatch then definitely look into an Apple Watch or something similar that you prefer for your tech needs but for me personally I like the idea of having something where I can wrestle a bear and even if I don’t make out alive my watch definitely did. 😂
Agree 100%, i have the AW Ultra, its fantastic. ut i still wear G when doing anything which might damage it!
I just got my first gshock a gwg-2000 gray. Got it at 30% discount and I am very pleased with it.
I agree, better resolved. I was tempted by the stock type colourway, 1A1, but the bezel was too shiny for my liking. I got the colourway you have here, good used condition, for $630 Australian bucks. I'm coming from a GG B100, so I'm looking forward to coming back to solar power.
Just clocked (No Pun Intended) your video on this G-Shock un-boxing for the first time. Now, you did say you bought this G-Shock New from a G-Shock group you're a member of early in your video, but then you went on to say, when un-boxing the watch, you bought it secondhand? So, which is it, a New or Secondhand G-Shock?
Great vid mate, had you contemplated holding off and purchasing the b1000 red in lieu of this one? I’m struggling in pulling the trigger on either 2k or b1000 as I’ve got the orig gwg1000, but finding a tad bit big.
I really want the Red 1K but this came up at a bargain price so couldn’t say no. I will probably buy the 1K next!
OP, go for the GWG-B1000, the bluetooth is a dream to set the watch.
I guess I’m a big chunky hefty beast. I wear the GWG 1000 in the second hole before my wrist is too big for it lol
Yeah but would you wear the Apple Watch whilst welding?
Absolutely not!!
@
See I was really precious about my gwg-2000 when I first got it. Never paid that much for a watch before. Now I wear it all of the time, welding, spanner work, poured hot oil all over it etc etc.
And it still looks like it did the day it arrived!
Love it!
@@petittrainguernsey3297 They are fantastic. I have a GG-B100 and GA900 that I wear without any worries while doing manual labour - both still in great shape! Can't beat a G!!
Which model is better, the 1000 or the 2000?
@@mattc1704 2K imho but 1K is a classic
Yes, a g-shock is a good buy, especially this higher end ones. My first mud resistant watch was the G-9000 mudman which is almost 15 years old and still in good condition. Then I bought the GW 9400 rangeman. Then in 2014, I bought the first mudmaster gwg-1000-1a3er, then the GG-B100. In the summer I was looking for the red band gwg-b1000, but I ended up with the green version, it was on sale of course, but I like it. Last week I ordered the GWG 2000 the gray version, and it's on my wrist now. I love it. Oh and I also have the GW-9500 mudman. I was looking at the new GPR-H1000 rangeman, but no, if you want a rugged smartwatch, just buy a garmin. But fortunately i prefer this standalone watches without the charging cable. 👍👍👍👍
How do you like the gw-9400 Rangemen vs gwg-2000?
@alfredrahman I think the GWG 2000 is the better design, better materials. Twenty years ago I preferred the digital display, but recently I bought more ana-digi or mechanical watches. The most recent one is the citizen promaster land 35th anniversary edition, classic design. But if you want the most functionality, then you can get the GWG-B1000 mudmaster. But I like the design of the GWG 2000.
I have the new GWGB1000 in red I also have a BBG100 of the two I prefer the G100 it is a lot lighter and the strap keeper stays in place unlike the metal one on the G1000 they also have most of the same functions but the B1000 has the solar powered battery which persuaded me to buy it but one thing it does not have is a step tracker i also picked both watches up with a big price reduction a do like smart watches i have a withings which only needs charging if you turn off some of the functionality every 30 days I have a lot of things to charge up in the day so that’s what puts me off the Apple Watch if I were to purchase a expensive watch, it would have to be omega for the elegant looks
Funnily enough the Step Tracker is the one thing I miss about the 2K over my G100 too. The G100 was my first G, and the one I've worn the most by a mile. That said, I am really liking the 2k now I have a 'lifes too short' mentality to it and am actually wearing it regularly.
I'm able to pick one up for $600 CDN or 353.20 pounds. Would this be a fair price? It would be my first Casio.
You just mentioned the price you paid so I guess the price I found is fair.
Are you Canadian ? From which website ?
can u review the ae1500?
Sure if you want to buy it for me
The quality really is there and even though I wouldn't suggest paying retail, I think even at retail it's not outrageous.
As for the BB Pro, I own one also along with an assortment of MTGs and MRGs. I'd absolutely disagree with your "facts". An MTG is about 1k and finished significantly better than the Tudor. The cases on the MTGs, especially the b2000s, are works of art. They stand up to my Grand Seikos and I would say they are significantly more complex with all their angles and different types of finishing. I love my Pro and think at the 2.7k I paid for it that it is a magnificent deal and the best GMT on the market, but the MTG holds its own at its price point and actually offers value. You will not find a watch at that price with that level of case finishing offered by any other brand. If you know of one, please enlighten me. That being said, the resale value is horrific on most G-Shocks, but really not any different than other brands. To use your example, you can easily buy an Aquis for less than 1k used (more than half of MSRP) and a MTG for around 350-500 depending on the model (about the same).
Anyway, enjoyed your review, but I just had to comment on that section since I'm an owner of both many Tudors and G-Shocks.
But you have to remember with any G you’re still paying for what’s essentially a quartz movement, digital even. They simply can’t justify £3k for an MTG square. Tudor etc can, because your money is going into that beautiful Swiss movement. I’m fine with up to a grand for an MTG but anything over that is just dumb, and like you say, any hope of resale at more than 50% is fantasy. I’m already seeing MTG square owners giving them away for £1500, and the new MTG Frog being discounted at retailers by £1000. G-Shock have got a bit carried away by their own hype imho.
Thats dirt cheap for 350. Where did you bougth it?
Got lucky from someone in a G Shock forum! 👌
Apple ist Software, and Take it standalone than its nothing 😂
I always wear my G-shock gwg-2000. Hate smart watches, a watch you need to charge every night is not a watch
Not a fan of anything that supposed to be a watch that needs charging via wall plug or is dependent on your phone. If power goes out world wide your phone and Apple Watch will be useless…… your g shock will STILL work.
that snoring is god awful 🤣
i just dont see application for this watch, i am Leo/mil related but some amazfit trex2 or fenix 7x saphire solar , garmin instinct just blow these out of the water for price and features, even the durability is good question these days. And those watches you will use 99% more than any function of g shock
Different market for these. It’s not designed to compete with a ‘Smartwatch’ this is a tough ‘outdoors’ watch. And this would blow the Garmin away for durability, and battery life!
@@AngryBritain agree but instinct will not bow to these rules. This is only useful if you dont see civilisation for months. This would be cool reliable watch for 300$ but not more.
Try using a smart watch on a long trail. You end up carrying some form of charger. Durability is suspect on the, and in extreme heat and cold, some just quit.
@@jeffredman6653 unless you are in a trail for two weeks
Comparing a g shock to an Apple Watch or a garmin isn’t a fair comparison. G shock isn’t trying to be a smart watch at all. That’s why you all will be screwed when it’s time to survive when all fails
