GWG-2000 Model Range *may be updated
| New features in GWG-2000 *in comparison with previous series |
|---|
| The first MUDMASTER with Forged Carbon Bezel |
| The first ANA-DIGI MUDMASTER with reduced case size |
| The first MUDMASTER with advanced buttons structure (stainless steel pipes and silicone buffers) |
| What we like in GWG-2000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
|---|
| Compact design with thinner case (16.1 mm while the previous GWG-1000 18 mm) |
| Fashion watch (looks very attractive on your wrist) |
| Lightweight and suitable for small wrists |
| Carbon Core Guard structure (makes the watch slimmer, compact with a comfortable fit, and even more shock resistant) |
| Forged Carbon Bezel (more lightweight and complex design) |
| Tough Solar / Solar powered. It’s an ideal solution for a reliable watch. There is no need to recharge it with the cable. |
| Radio-controlled Watch / Multiband 6 (ideal time accuracy. The watch adjusts the time automatically) |
| ABC Sensor (Digital compass, Altimeter/Barometer, Thermometer). |
| Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating (scratch-resistant, very clear, and transparent) |
| Screw Lock Crown (for more convenient functions management. You can scroll some functions up & down) |
| Neobrite on hands and core numbers (excellent “natural” illumination without battery consumption) |
| Stopwatch (1/100-second, 23:59’59.99) |
| Countdown timer (60 minutes) |
| Hand shift feature (Hands move out of the way to provide an unobstructed view of digital display contents.) |
| Hourly time signal (a primitive feature, but we like it) |
| Double auto LED light (for the face & the digital display) |
| What we don’t like in GWG-2000 *by casiofanmag editors with 10+ years of experience writing about CASIO watches |
|---|
| Nothing special. Looks like a stylish GWG-1000 |
| It is still an “old school” functional stuff, not a modern one |
| No positive LCD version |
| The module hasn’t changed a lot since seven years time period |
| Less dial visibility: less white color on dials, more grey, smaller dial |
| The timer only times 1 hour or less |
| No Bluetooth (but that may be an advantage) |
| No Sunrise sunset time display (for specific dates as well) |

About the Watch in short. Take on the toughest terrain with the G-SHOCK MUDMASTER, designed to handle the harshest, roughest on-land environments.
This shock-resistant watch is constructed to withstand all the mud and sand your adventures may bring, and it leverages our latest exterior technology to deliver a smaller profile with an even better fit.
This compact design is made possible by the forged carbon bezel, carbon core guard case structure, and mud-resist buttons combined with stainless steel pipes and silicone buffers. Finely powdered carbon fiber is kneaded into resin, then heat-pressed to mold a bezel that is more complex, yet even stronger than before.
Triple sensor measurements keep you updated with direction, altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature readings. Large Arabic numeral indexes, extra-thick arrow-shaped hands, double LED lights, and sapphire glass ensure high visibility.
The band is textured in the style of heavy-duty no-slip rubber grips, and the buttons are knurled for easy operation. A MUDMASTER designed for practicality, durability, and power.

FORGED CARBON BEZEL. The bezel is made from forged carbon fibre, a composite material used in aircraft fuselages, at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Carbon fibre-reinforced resin is forged in a press die at high temperature and pressure, producing strong, lightweight parts with complex shapes.
CARBON CORE GUARD STRUCTURE. Offering strength, lightness, and excellent durability, the carbon fibre-reinforced resin case protects the module. These properties of carbon fibre made it possible to reduce the size of the case, which is 1.9mm slimmer than the previous model (GWG-1000).
DUST- AND MUD-RESISTANT STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT LAND MISSIONS IN THE HARSHEST CONDITIONS. Newly developed Mud Resist buttons combine with stainless steel button pipes and a silicone buffer material to add toughness that will withstand long-term use.
DIAL DESIGNED FOR OPTIMUM VISIBILITY OUTDOORS. The large-diameter dial gives a sense of depth and makes room for the large dimensional index marks. The mode indicator at the 9 o’clock position has an arrow-shaped hand and is angled to offer better visibility from a low angle.
EXTERIOR DESIGN INSPIRED BY PROFESSIONAL GEAR. Design details are inspired by professional gear, including the fine texturing on the band, the checked surface texture of the crown, and ribbed guards to protect the front buttons. The exterior design offers both practicality and aesthetic appeal.
SUPER ILLUMINATOR. (high-brightness double led light) for maintaining watch readability in the dark
TRIPLE SENSOR. (digital compass, altimeter, barometer/thermometer) senses natural changes
