I’m ordering green 1k tomorrow. Will leave all wrappers and stickers on when it arrives and really carefully confirm sizing, in case I need to return. Either way I’m pretty sure I’m selling the sand 2k.
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.

FWIW, IMO the green 1k is the most versatile of all of the 1000s in terms of wearing different colored straps. It not only looks great with the stock green strap, but also looks fab with the camo and yellow straps, same with the Maharishi, and might even look okay with the red strap (tho have not tried it myself).
Here are a couple: (rn I have it on the camo strap, but no pics available atm)
Got mine yesterday, giving it a test run today. "Third person" wrist shot below for those that want a better perspective, 7.75" inch wrist. Few thoughts, keep in mind this is my first Mudmaster, I usually wear either a Rangeman 9400 or GSTB300.

- Not sure I like the functionality of the crown vs using buttons like on my rangeman and g steel. Harder to set things when on the wrist. I'm sure I'll get used to it but it seems kind of fiddly.
- Size is decent, it's strange since it looks larger than my rangeman but is actually slightly thinner and identical l2l and widthwise. Probalby because it's more "filled out" in shape.
- Biggest beef....the TIMER DOESN'T DO MORE THAN 1 HOUR! Not sure what the heck happened there, both my other watches have a timer that runs up to 24 hours. It's not lack of space on the display since the stopwatch will go for up to 24 hours. Might almost be a deal breaker for me, we'll see.
- I bought this color since the hands seemed the most visible but I'm not sure about the color scheme, seems almost cartoony to me with the red and green. For those of you with the all black version, do you have any trouble with hand visibility against the dial?
Update: Like many here it seems my wrist lies right between two of the strap hole sets for a perfect fit. One's a bit too loose, the other squeezes just enough to be uncomfortable. Couldn't take it, so I did something that always makes me twitch....took an xacto knife to it. If you look at the strap holes you can see there's a slight "ramp" before the hole. I cut it back to the top of this ramp and then angled the hole underneath so the keeper would lay flat along the underside. It's not a huge difference, but it gives just enough breathing room that it's really comfy now. Plus it's almost impossible to tell from the outside of the strap. Still plenty of material so I'm not worried about it tearing through, that's some tough rubber on this thing. I will admit to being nervous as hell while cutting, I don't see any replacement straps listed anywhere yet and a miscut would have probably meant an unwearable watch until they have them in stock. Or at least a really loose one.
Guess I'm keeping it!

I’m the opposite hole wise on the 1k. The 2k being softer allows for a slightly tighter fit yet remains comfy.

If want perfection for, the q1000mc bracelet (new frogs to) has an awesome knurled adjuster, which allows more than 1” of adjustment. Can fine tune comfort to the mm

Now the gpw1000 has a carbon fibre strap, that I find is comfortable. But the keeper doesn’t keep very well!! Can slide out easy (easy fix as just crush keeper a fraction ). However I decided to add the bracelet to this to. With the micro adjustment, excellent. And it’s light weight!

Have to agree, I’ve done exact same . The dc bezel works best to as it goes with the mode hand. So if it has the MH or dc band, the DC bezel stays put!

Hopefully it will fit my wrist well. Wife wanted me to wear a white dial watch to match hers and this is close enough to white for her to like. Unfortunately she does not like my AE1500 which I filled with silicone oil and really like.
