hands down the best review of this watch on youtube, thankyou. the picture is so clear and your explanations of everything is excellent.

This is definitely the Terminator of outdoor-watches. Travelled through time to make me spend a ton of cash... Mission is nearly accomplished.

Fantastic review. Just bought one myself, a GWG 1000-1a3. I will also be making a donation to your channel on your website. I applaud that you are “100% Independent”. Keep up,the great reviews! Thank you!!
Dear GF19, Sorry for the late reply but I took the liberty to be a few days offline. Thanks for the positive feedback.

A very thorough and clever review. I own that watch and it's probably the one I wear the most. Tough, very legible (also at night), unbelievable wrist presence and a ton of features.

Thanks for sharing 🙏.
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews you bet. any idea how long the solar component and battery last typically?
This is what I wrote in the review on my website: "Where do Garmins battery life numbers and my measurements lead to? Well in the first place I am able to confirm that the minimum of 24 hour battery life with the heart rate monitor on is pretty accurate. In Energy save mode I can only guess. Yes, I tried it but after a while I did not bother looking at the watch anymore and all of a sudden it was empty. 56 days? 60? 50? Don’t know but it was long enough! The fact that the solar panel extends battery life is true without a doubt but in my outdoor life it has not proven efficient and handy enough. And I am hardly in the circumstances that I am off grid and I don’t have the possibility to charge the watch with the USB cable and a wall socket or computer."

Clear & fantastic review
Sweet comment and many thanks for that! Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks. It's a uniquely comprehensive review. I couldn't get away from the video, even though I have some pressing issues to do. Felt like I would miss an important piece of information if I did. And now that the video ended, I know I was right. Very informative. You've obviously really tried the watch and went through all its features. I have had this watch for over a year, sold it, missed it too much, bought it again and shan't sell ever again. Yet I never knew it had a weather alarm for example, nor had I known the feature of removing hands from the front of the LCD screen for easy reading of what's on it. I especially liked your Machiavellian thinking of contracting the booklet weight by 80%. I never thought of that. I subbed. Hey, doesn't your booklet include Arabic among the languages? Mine does in both times I bought this one of which was from the USA.
Hi TV, Thanks for your comment! Arabic.... I only had the watch on loan from Casio so it is back and I don't have the manual anymore. Sorry. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Mooie professionele uitleg van de mudmaster. Als outdoor persoon was ik op zoek naar meer informatie over de mudmaster alvorens ik hem aanschaf maar ben nu wel overtuigd
Dank Bart! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
absolutely informative video 👍
Thanks for the nice comment! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Great video, very nice footage!
I've worn this watch every single day for a year now. Its been great. Minor scuffing but that just adds character. Held its charge with normal use and its still on time to the second. A regular watch would look really bad by now, cracked glass, scratched up metal etc.
To the average person this may not a practical watch more of an aesthetical choice. Most functions are already in your smartphone and simple things like the timer and alarm are sort of a chore to get to because of how you have to unscrew the red crank to manipulate them. I got used to that however and its no big deal.
For me, as a hunter and outdoorsman I find some features pretty useful.
The compass is usefull. I can tell where to set up my tent or which way and animal is headed. Probably navigate aswell but I never needed to. Just make sure you recalibrate every now and then because the magnetic fields you expose the watch to if you wear it every day can throw it off a bit.
The thermometer is very useful for telling water temperature and unlike room temperature it picks that up very fast even on your wrist.
Altimeter isnt really useful to me, however the barometer has been useful on occation.
The light is exceptionally strong for a watch. In pitch black its been enough to navigate my kids legos or find something around the tent.
Wearing this huge piece every day, I sort of got used to its size and weight. However the back of my hand develope callous from touching the watch every time I bent my wrist to a 90 degree angle. I usually wear it 24/7 though, I'm surr that could have been avoided.
Make sure you remove and clean the band regularily as it tends to collect alot of gunk in the spaces under the "flaps".
I'd give it a 9/10 thus far. Intially it would have been lower but its been good to me once getting used to the quirks.
Hi, I just came back from a short holiday and I am a bit taller with a proper response: Thank you for the good feedback and the compliment! I mostly agree with you except for the quirks ;-). Should be clear to everyone tab an instant. I did not know the word quirk and I like it. Will you use it in one of the coming video's. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs
A lil late to the party, lol🎊
Superb review!!
There also is about the same difference in temperature if you remove the watch from either wrist and take a reading while holding watch by the strap or by sitting on a surface other than one’s wrist.
Stay Well & Continued Success🍻

i have found that if i am good at switching between baro an alti meter to keep a accurate readning. you stil have to calibrate, but i helps, importent when crossing a plato after a climb.
True!
op dit moment kan dit model iets goedkoper worden gekocht, dus het is zeker de moeite waard om te overwegen om te kopen, geweldige recensie 👍
Beste MarciN, klopt maar ik hou wel de adviesprijs aan als eerlijke vergelijking met anderen. Maar shoppen loont zeker. Groet, Gijs
Thanks for the review sir. Just bought mine while our ship is docked at Liverpool, UK. Im a seafarer by the way, a marine engineer specifically. So we are constantly on the move, while carrying out a lot of heavy maintenance. I should say this is a great watch for me. Just subscribed to your channel, hoping for more informative reviews from you sir. Cheers.

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews aah good point !
i have this watch and i love it!!!!!
You are a lucky man! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Excellent detailed review! The only correction I would make would be the radio control doesn’t update every 5 hours as you mention, since the very low frequency signal propagates long distances only at night. Casio designed all of their RC watches to check for a time calibration signal for the 5 hours between 12am and 5am, on every hour 12am1, 2, etc so it checks up to 6 times to try and get a sync. If it gets a signal at say 1am and syncs, it shuts the radio off to save battery life. It will start the process again every night.
Hi Hamradiocomms, Thanks for the compliment! You are right but I checked the script for the video with Casio and they confirmed that what I say and write was correct. I think somebody was a bit sleepy.... so thanks for the adjustment! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
A cool thing about the thermometer is that you can calibrate it so it adjusts to your body temperature. So if it averages say 10° warmer than the actual temperature outside, you can reduce the temp by 10 and then it will give you a more accurate reading. Obviously when your body warms up and sweats it will throw it off a bit, but the possibility to get closer to the actual outside temperature while wearing the watch is definitely there! This functionality is also built into the altimeter, you can measure the pressure and offset it depending on where you are and what the weather is like, though this is much more difficult to maintain since pressure can change so quickly. Great review by the way!
Nice helpful comment Eric. Jup, Casio's are very tuneable 😉.Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Thoughts on the gwg1000 vs the new ggb100 mudmaster. Don't need all the features, just love the look. Solar isn't as important with the Bluetooth functionality
Hi William, Well... I did not review it but looking at the specs.... it is cheaper, has all the outdoor functionality I would need and look good. Does this help😉? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thank you for the review, l have a dilemma.
l'm in between GWG-1000-1A3ER for €360 (second hand) GWG-100-1A3ER €250 (new) l don't need all the sensors, solar and atomic funktions are more important. But ofc sapphire glass is also a nice addition...

Great review! Thanks for taking the effort. New subscriber :) I have a general question. Even though some products being sold in a shop are ‘ethical’, the shop itself might not be. How do we know? How do you choose where to buy gear from?
My opinion on such watches:
Short version: how do you replace the functions of this watch, with accurate and better gear. Ie a Compass,Altimeter,Barometer,Timer etc etc and at what cost/ weight sacrifice? A Garmin handheld?
Long version:
Most of the functionality of this watch is totally useless. More to the point, even without all of these generally inaccurate functions, who requires a massive clock on their wrist, when a mobile phone with apps and an external battery pack, would be a far better option for functionality? I think too many people buy such items because they imagine (the design implies this) they bring them a little closer to being like a Special Forces operative. They don’t wear Casio Mudmasters or if they do, it’s not while on operations because these watches are most often not ‘Milspec’. So the whole design notion is fake.
However, in order to accurately substitute such a device with actual devices means carrying more gear. I’d argue in favour of more gear rather than inaccurate monitoring and measuring. Even a second hand smart phone in a touch case and screen protector would be cheaper and better than this watch.
Besides this, on a personal note, I find having anything on my wrist obstructs movement and often makes wearing some items of clothing uncomfortable.
Just my opinion.
Thank for subscribing!
1) You can't. I buy at shops that employ likable and knowledgable people. Online I look at the about page and the sustainablility page.
2) I use a lot of the functionality. But this one is heavy and big on my wrist. I wear and test a Garmin Instinct at the moment: super watch, smaller en lighter.
3) Wearing can be uncomfy. Agreed. Buy an alti/barometer that is not a watch. They do excist.
Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
I love this watch, it is so easy for us old guys to read. Do you know if they make without the GPS and any tracking sensors?

Hi Guru,
first of all, happy new year :)
Thanks for the nice review. Checking these kind of watches now for weeks but just cant decide. I like this watch but there are better ones? I would need one with ABC, Solar and it has to be so tough like this one. Basicly a watch where you get dropped out in Siberia and the watch would offer you everything you need und survive all the hits and stuff. GWG 1000 1A3ER is realy one of my absolute favorites, but which one would be even better in your opinion, offering exactly the same like this watch and even more?!
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.
Greetings from Berlin :)
Hi Erayza,
Thank you and U2!
Super question, tuff answer. I did not test all the watches in the world. I am reviewing a couple of Garmins at the moment and in some respect they are better but on the solar part... Casio is a winner. I know I would not buy the Polar X Grit I reviewed and do know I love my Suunto better than the Casio but is has no solar so it will need to be charged once in a while.
Question for you: what kind of outdoor guy (or girl, new name to me 😊) are you? What type of adventures?
You can share it by email at info@outdoorguru.com if you don't want this public.
Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe!
Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks so much for the fast reply. Its a name for guys^^
Yeah, I red good things about the Suunto but also that few customers were complaying that the bracelet broke :/
I would lave to have solar, better to never charge^^. Its a very important option for me. But I want it at the same time to look good and have god features. I would use it more for hiking in the mountains, hunting and mountain biking.
Just dont know if the Mudman is too big, so a jacket or lang shirt would be unfonfy to wear.
Also want a good readability of the display or numbers and a nice ilumination or light for night.
Crazy tuff decision for me, cause I dont want to spend money on few watches. I want one nice one which I can use for many years and which will offer me absolutely everything I need.
Very detailed review, will buy one soon,
Light could have been brighter 😢
Does it has auto light?

Thank you for the very in depth review. Maybe I missed it but can you move the hands out of the way if you just want to read the date (if the arms are blocking it?)
Hi Smood, Yes I believe you can. It is a combination of pressing buttons. Since I don't have the watch myself - its returned to Casio - I don't have the paper manual anymore but it should be online. Check this and if it is not conclusive I'll ask my contact at Casio about this. Hope this helps. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Thanks sir. Will you be doing a review of the Rangemen GPR1000?
@@Smood47 Not for the moment. I have some requests made too Casio but no answer jet.
Great review! Have you found that if you press one of the buttons after getting the watch wet (and then drying it off or letting it dry), the buttons make a squelching noise for you?
Not that I noticed. The watch is back at Casio now, it was on loan.
My rangeman does it. But after it dries, no sound
Could you please review the GG 1000 Mudmaster, the twin sensor model through the same conditions you used to test the GWG-1000 Mudmaster. Thank you.

If you have trouble seeing the small LCD display for ALT or BAR measurements, for a quick reading while you're in either mode, you can press the top left button of the watch, and the second hand will sweep to a value on the watch face, so that you can see the change in pressure, or altitude, since the last reading, in either +/-1 increments to +/-10 or +/-10 increments to +/-100 values depending on how you decided have that function configured.
Hi Alex, True and thanks for sharing! I don't like it but I am maybe a bit spoiled with other watches that show it more easy and clearer. Enjoy the outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
in horology world, which in g-shocks earned there place.. 699 euro is a freaking steal for the amount of functions, attention to details and overall quality. Higher end G-shocks are amazing, coming from a omega,breitling, grand seiko owner..
Hi Jurgen, Agree on their spot in history and absolutely justified! Steal, could be but I come from cheaper Casio's and Suunto's that perform better for the money. With indeed less specs, but how many do we need outdoors? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Would love to get the DC desert camo version. If I knew it was going to be considered limited edition, I would have bought when it was $550 to $700 not the $1500 I've seen them going for.
Hi Matt, Are you talking US $? That is a huge amount of money!
I purchased approx 24 months ago for $800
US $
Hi, Got a question for You. What Do You think about this watch illumination? It is Good? Thanks in advance. By the way nice review!!!
Hi Óscar, nice question😄. I don’t have the watch any more since I send it back after reviewing but I own a few other Casio’s and with them it is fine. And the fact that it did not draw any attention to me... I think this one is fine two. Thanks for the compliment 👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs
This is how you do review for this watch. TY . What size is your wrist ?
Hi Greekot, 14 cm / 5.5 inch. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Hi there ... i am torn between this watch and the Casio G-Shock Sky Cockpit GW-A1100FC-1AJF (Blue favorite colour) ... but the Sky Cockpit does not have a propper review and currently they are both the same price.
Check out Watch Geek's channel here. IIRC he did a tutorial on that Casio.
Nice watch, but does it worth the money if compared with Garmin Fenix 6 or even Casio Pro Trek with similar features for the half of the price? That said is a great looking watch!
Hi Cristiano, Well... I would not buy it for this kind of money since it has some 'flaws'. It is good looking though. The Fenix 6 and the Instinct I am reviewing at the moment and the 6 is a fantastic watch but pricey and it looks a fashion-like chique to me. I am very content with the Instinct Tactical edition. That is bang for your bux. Take a peek at it at the Garmin website and get back to me with your thoughts. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Bedankt voor je hele goede en duidelijke review, waardoor ik heb besloten om deze horloge niet te kopen, zonder deze review was ik waarschijnelijk teleurgesteld na de koop.
Hoi Werner, Wat vond je er teleurstellend aan? Groet, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Beste OutdoorGuru, ik wil er niet teveel slechte dingen over zeggen ik ben wel een echte casio fan en voor vele is dit wel een goede watch, zoals jij aangeeft de hoogte meter moet regelmatig gekalibreerd worden, en heeft veel invloed op het weer vermoedelijk in het vliegtuig zal dit niet werken, ten tweede de tempratuur meting kan alleen ongedragen (dat is duidelijk) en het kompas is traag en misschien niet helemaal betrouwbaar, het horloge is dusdanig groot dat je mouw er niet overheen gaat, daarbij vind ik de bandjes nogal goedkoop al bij al, zn sterkte feature is dat ie goed tegen modder kan, voor de rest is hij dus niet heel bijzonder van het bedrag tussen 600 en 700.. in vergelijking met andere casio modellen, kortom ik zie de gebruikers voordelen niet, alles werkt dus net niet.. daarbij wil ik eraan toevoegen - dit is absoluut de beste review, bedankt hiervoor.
Dank voor je uitvoerige reactie Werner. Ik ben ook een Casio fan, maar dit kan inderdaad beter. Dank voor het grote compliment! En je mag bij mij alles zeggen zolang het taalgebruik normaal is😉.
Thank you for the review! I just got a gwg1000 1a1 and noticed the time is about 20 seconds ahead, is that normal? Or is should i return it?
Hi Michael, U R Welcome and thanks for the comment. 20 sec ahead, it should no be. Where are you from and did the follow the calibration instruction? That should normally help. Let me know! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviewsI figured out that the watch did not properly sync. I tried getting the signal again but outside and it synced up perfectly! Thank you for your help
I booked in Amazon... waiting for delivery
Sweet! Enjoy the watch and Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
While you’re on the home screen (timekeeping mode), is it possible to have the local time on the analog hands , while displaying your secondary time zone on the digital screen, instead of the date?
Hi Simon, I would not know and I can't check since I send the watch back after finishing the review. Sorry. Enjoy the Outdoors and Say Safe! Cheers, Gijs
That's a very detailed review. Good work.
Two little remarks.
#1
The Mudmaster does only one time sync each day.
#2
There are 6 stations worldwide, which send the time signal. 2x Japan, USA, Japan China, UK and Germany.

Hi Konstantin, Thank you for the compliment and the additional remarks. That helps! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
Thanks for the intersting review, I have bought a mudmaster a week ago and I have noticed that the second hand stopped moving one day, is that a reported issue, I have read in the notice that for power saving the second hand may stops while 70 min in dark? is this behavior normal for a new watch? thanks
Hi Amine, I don't have the watch anymore so I can't check. Might be, sound Casio smart.... What does the manual say? Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs
@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Hi Gijs, Thank you for the reply, it seems that everything is OK on the watch, I have checked the manual, the power saving in the watch was on, and they say that when 60 to 70 min elapsed in the dark the display will sleep and the second hand will stop. which is the case with my watch. I have noticed that this behavior occurs every night at midnight but once the light is turned on the second-hand works back again.
Thanks again !
