G-Shock’s new dust- and mud-resistant Mudmaster GWG-B1000 features exterior components in metal for a solid design.Â
The GWG-B1000, an addition to the Master of G line, retains G-Shock shock resistance, with the protector parts at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions guarding the watch glass, which is typically the most shock-susceptible.
The complex moulded form of the front button guard is achieved with a different method, metal injection moulding (MIM).
It is the first G-Shock equipped with a triple sensor that measures compass bearing, altitude/barometric pressure, and temperature, as well as solar charging and radio wave reception, that also comes with smartphone connectivity.
When the watch is paired with a smartphone, the dedicated app on the phone offers operation of various useful features, including Location Indicator, which points the inset dial indicator hand in the direction of a location recorded on the map within the app, and Mission Log, which records activity history.
