Keeping you informed

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster doesn’t just tell time; it keeps you informed about your environment. It comes equipped with a barometric pressure measurement that functions along with a trend graph that keeps you updated on atmospheric changes, while the alarm function notifies you when significant pressure shifts occur.

As with many other G-SHOCK watches, for those who love heights, the altitude measurement function is a game changer.

This is also a solar-powered watch that harnesses the energy of the sun to keep it ticking. Say goodbye to the hassle of frequent battery changes.

This G-SHOCK watch doesn’t just tell time; it keeps you on schedule with a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, and five daily alarms. The double LED light ensures you can check the time in low-light conditions. The full auto LED light, super illuminator, and selectable illumination duration are practical for nighttime adventures.

A watch that saves energy

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster doesn’t just keep you going; it’s conscious of energy usage. The power-saving feature ensures that the display goes blank and the hands stop when the watch is left in the dark, conserving energy. The battery level indicator keeps you informed, and the watch can run for approximately 6 months on a rechargeable battery with normal use or up to 24 months when stored in total darkness with the power save function on.

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GWG-B1000-3A is a blend of ruggedness and style, precision and innovation. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a tech lover, or someone who simply appreciates a watch that can withstand the test of time, the Mudmaster has something to offer.
