Casio G-Shock Mudmaster Black Dial SS Chrono Quartz Men's Watch GWG1000-1A3

Product Information

It is also equipped with a triple sensor that displays information on orientation, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and temperature. High visibility is also ensured via large indices with Arabic numerals, a double LED light, and a wind-proof sapphire glass crystal. months on rechargeable battery (operation period when stored in total darkness with the power save function on after full charge) A couple of other modifications have also been added to aid general user-friendliness. First up is a hand shift function, which means that you can push a button to temporarily move the hands move away from the LCD display – helping you to see what you’re doing. And if you’re using the watch at night, an auto light feature can be activated to automatically illuminate the watch face when you tilt your wrist towards you. Handy for one-hand operation in the gloomy recesses of a tent, when rain hammering on the flysheet wakes you up at 3am. Movement It’s a striking watch. This thing can survive just about any type of beating you can throw at it, and it looks the part. The GWG-1000, in particular, is one of Casio's peak achievements in 30 years - a historic watch in the progress of the brand. The host of smart little functions that'll keep the geek in you happy (like moving the hands out the way to view digital screens, for example). The large buttons on the case makes it easy to operate the watch even if you are wearing gloves. This makes it a perfect companion for those who are frequent travellers to hills and seek adventure.

Now things get a bit more complicated. The altitude is based on the working of the barometric pressure sensor inside the watch. Let me explain a bit about the basics on pressure and altitude measurement. Pressure sensor When using the altimeter there are a few very important basics that you should know about how air and air pressure sensors works. The pressure sensor in a watch does not know whether a pressure change is the result of a weather change or a change in height. Imagine: You have your watch in the altimeter position and you spend the night in a mountain hut at an altitude of 2500 meters. While you are sleeping a low-pressure weather front is approaching. The pressure sensor registers this and the watch translates this as an increase in height. Without having moved a single meter, you wake up at 3000 meters. You will therefore have to keep a close eye on the weather when you are using the watch as an altimeter or as a barometer. The pressure sensor does not know if the pressure changes because of gaining altitude or weather closing in. Or you might not even climb at all according to the watch.Usability Update: The Mudmaster GWG-1000 has proven to be very popular, especially with customers in the United States and Europe who are looking for a very large and rugged outdoor watch. This new MUDMASTER model was created especially for this whose work takes it into areas where piles of rubble, dirt, and debris are present. Do these smart features work? Yep, mostly. Once you calibrate the compass, it’s impressively accurate, and the barometer does a good job of telling you whether pressure is rising or dropping, a good indicator as to whether bad weather is likely to move in. The altimeter is best used as a guide rather than an absolute – it didn’t always correspond with the spot heights of an OS map. And you need to take the watch off and leave it somewhere (preferably shady) for around 20 minutes if you want a reliable temperature reading – otherwise the sensor simply seems to tell you how warm or cool the surface of your skin is. UPDATE (August 24): Casio America announced the release of the Mudmaster GWG1000-1A3 and GWG1000-1A9 and stated the Mudmaster is part of the Master of G line.

Measuring Capacity: 24 hours, Measuring Unit: 1/100 second (for the first 60 minutes) 1 second (after 60 minutes) But... The GG-1000 also retails at roughly half the price of its bigger brother, which might make you question whether those extra features you're getting with the GWG-1000 are worth the money in the first place. Best Of Both Worlds – GW-9400 Rangeman?

The core of a barometer and altimeter is a digital pressure sensor. The pressure sensor does nothing more than register differences in air pressure. If you use the watch in the barometer position, you will see the pressure trend and the air pressure in the screen. If you switch on the altimeter, you only change a calculation setting in the watch. This is due to the physical fact that the higher we get, the lower the air pressure. On average 1 millibar per 8 meter rise. And because it has been internationally agreed that the air pressure at sea level is 1013 millibars and that sea level is 0 meters, you can easily convert air pressure to altitude. One remark I should make: the official unit for pressure is hectoPascals and not millibar (1 millibar = 1 hectoPascal (hPa) and that is why the Mudmaster displays hPa. The catchMulti-Band 6: Automatic Atomic Time updates are received overnight for exceptional accuracy (UK/ EU/ USA/ Japan/ China: home city must be set manually) Barometric pressure tendency information alarm (beep and arrow indicates significant changes in pressure)

Casio has provided all the information on the dial itself, making it easy to access the watch features without any struggle.
