Master of G Mudmaster gwg2000 owners club & 1k owners too club.
A place to show off the new carbon core mudmaster gwg2000, originally I was in the " I'll pass camp " but then a few videos on YouTube later and kaboom ordered on sunday through amazon using a Japanese market dealer & it arrived today.
Immediate thoughts are
More comfortable on the wrist.
Better strap construction.
To my eye it seems like larger font size in display slot.
Sapphire glass always seems way better to me then hardplex imho
Seems like a cleaner dial layout.

I like dual keepers. Especially of different materials because that, normally, means different textures and, thus, is a simple way to make more interesting that hidden area of a watch.
I tried to put a spare SS keeper (from a Gulfmaster) on the GWG-2000's band, but even though,it has the same dimensions as the GWG-2000's resin keeper, it didn't fit. The GWG-2000's bands are very thick and while the resin keeper will "give" a little bit, the SS one, won't.
So, I used an O-ring (#13; 7/8" O.D).:

There are green O-rings but I think the black O-ring looks ok against the green band.
Once Carbon Fiber straps from CASIO become available, I'll install them on the GWG-2K. That way, the material upgrade will be complete:

- Case: Carbon Core Guard
- Bands: CF
- Crystal: The crystal is already Sapphire, of course

I got my GWG-2000 from Sakura (-31%),
Bought on: 10/22/2021
Shipped from Japan: 10/27/2021
Delivered at home: 10/29/2021
1A1 and 1A3. are in stock, at Sakura, at the same price. 1A5 shows pre-order (out of stock?).
Since I wanted the 1A3, i bought it.
I've seen these discussions about taxes, VAT, etc.
I've never had to pay any taxes, neither collected by the seller (which makes sense, of course) nor at the port of entrance. I've only paid shipping, when applicable:
I covered the bezel's red accents on the GWG-2000-1A3, to see how the look changes.
1. Standard / Default:
![Watch Analog watch Clock Everyday carry Watch accessory]()
![Watch Analog watch Clock Watch accessory Font]()
2. With all red accents covered:
![Watch Analog watch Light Rectangle Clock]()
3. With top (too large) and bottom (too small) red accents covered. Middle accents (about right) open:
![Watch Analog watch Product Clock Font]()
* This is how I like it
* At arm's lenght, is almost impossible to notice that those spots are covered
![Watch Analog watch Clock Everyday carry Wrist]()
* If the tape comes off I can easily reapply it
* And if I get bored of the look I can just remove it

According to G-Central (and CASIO) the GWG-2000 is all about new materials and new color combinations that will now be possible:

Mudmaster GWG-2000 vs. GWG-1000: Same same but different
The Mudmaster line was introduced in 2015 and quickly established itself as one of G-Shock's top watches. This high-end "Master of G" series gained mainstream

Squeaky GWG-2000?
According to this video (in spanish, 0:40),:a GWG-2000 makes a squeaky sound after it was exposed to sea water (the video doesn't explain how or for how long).
My GWG-2000 doesn't make any noises but I have not been to the sea with it (nor to a swimming pool, etc)
Anybody has had a similar issue?
The noise seems to be real and it would be pretty strange considering that the watch, being a "MUDMASTER" should have been thoroughly tested in water, mud, etc.
The sound seems to be coming from the "wings" under the straps:
![Hood Vehicle Automotive lighting Motor vehicle Bumper]()
On my GWG-2000, these pieces are a little bit loose.
Since they don't seem to go anywhere that doesn't bother me and I don't think they can be tightened. The ones on my GG-1000 don't move though.

As with most displays, the viewing angle will impact legibility.
My GST-B200B and Gulfmaster have very good negative STN displays, at different viewing angles.
CASIO doesn't advertise the GWG-2000 as having an STN LCD screen but its display looks, to me, almost as good as these two at any viewing angle:
* The GST's display's is almost as good as the Gulfmaster's but is difficult to properly focus the three watches at the same time, with my phone's camera. Also, the GST's doesn't have a sapphire crystal, of course (The GST-B200's series has the largest, continuous LCD display of any Ana-Digi G-Shock, btw)

I don’t see the forged carbon bezel but I do see lugs.
