Are these made in Japan (like 1k) or in Thailand (like 2k)?

 

Hmmm.... Looks nice enough. Funny thing tho, in looking at the pic, I would have thought it was smaller than the GWG-2000, but from the specs given it seems it's a bit larger. Maybe a tad wider, and about 2mm thicker. Also a little heavier.

I need another Mudmaster tho like I need a hole in the head. And tbh, not really looking for one with Bluetooth. That holds really no attraction to me, esp given the issues I've had with the Casio Watches app.

One thing strikes me as a little odd. Why put the "over/under" function at the 9:00 position instead of the typical mode subdial?



Not all of the 1000s were made in Japan. I have one that was, and one that wasn't..
🤷‍♂️

 

Everything that T4P said, except that Casio Watches has worked flawlessly for me.

 

Happy with and prefer the 2000.

Is the sensor where the light button used to be?

Face too busy, why is all that needed when the digital display can cover all that info. All you need is a mode indicator.

 

Is the sensor where the light button used to be?

No, it is on the side. That is the light button.

 

I'm getting GW-9500 Mudman vibes from this thing. It doesn't look as good as its predecessors and it doesn't seem to bring much new to the table. Bluetooth? Wow....

 

Yep kinda cheap looking, but better than 9500

 

Can the BT set the declination based on phone location?

The new Mudmaster division manager does not like Christmas, no?

 

This watch may be great on it own. Still, I think part of the challenge here is how (never mind why) to improve something that has been already great.

Probably? It was available on the B100.

 

This watch is made for those people who complained about the heft of the GWG-2000.

 

women?

 

women?

When the 2000 came out, there were a lot of people who whined that it is not a "real" mudmaster because it does not have the large size of the 1000. This watch is made for those people.

 

Gotcha…so you meant lack of “heft”

Agreed and in this case, I think the "why" is more important. I don't think Casio should have bothered.

 

Totally wonder if its gunna have the figure 8 calibration like the ggb100

 

Yes it does

And what makes you comment like that? My question is equally valid as others and if you don"t have an answer or can't help by any means, then better not say anything. You seem to have an obsession to comment posts without bringing any content to discussion...

Thanks @Time4Playnow for you answer, I didn't remember that some -1k models were made in Thailand 👍

The fact that you brought the age old and quite useless "Japan vs. Thailand/China manufacture" debate to the table.

 

The carbon bezel looks like the gwg-2000, not the all resin gwg-1000. I wonder why didn't they call it gwg-b2000....

I guess they are calling it 1000 on the basis of dimensions.

It is useless debate in your mind.

I didn't have any "vs" aspect, I just kindly wanted to know for my own reasons. Don't comment based on your biased guesses 👍

 

I think it looks pretty good. But I am not a collector to be honest. I have the GWG-1000 and I am very happy with it and there is nothing on the new one that would make me upgrade. Still a cool looking watch though.

 

I like the BT addition... that's all.

Exactly.
It looks like the 2K but is proportioned like the 1K. This model is a bit of a head scratcher as it's some of one and bits of the other but with the addition of BT as the only meaningful innovation. This is why I can't see any compelling reason to bring it in if I already own the 2K.

I guess the attraction to 1K owners might be that the bezel pieces are cheaper resin instead of expensive forged carbon fiber. But in configuring it this way, does it lose some of the charm of the original unitary resin bezel?

 

I liked the one piece resin. It's inexpensive to replace and super durable, perfect for a true tool watch.

Still no detailed info about the 5713 module and its functions?

 

What you want to know ?

Thank you and @wrsmith!!
I'll have fun reading it now

 

I love the black one, I think it looks perfect. I hoped for this colorway on the 2k, but I much prefer the design of this release. Can't wait

 

Solar, mb6 and sapphire, a true mudmaster. It's on my list of interest for sure.

 

Ummm.....both the GWG-1000 and 2000 Mudmasters have all of this. Were they not true Mudmasters?
