[G-Shock Guide] Top G-Shock Gulfmaster Watches

A separate professional direction of G-Shock for sailors and water rescuers Gulfmaster – this watch is ready to become a loyal assistant in the development of the water element. The Gulfmaster design evokes thoughts about the nautical theme – round hour markers, pointed arrows in the form of anchors and dark blue accents of the case. In addition to the standard 200-meter water resistance, there are also more specific features – a double or triple sensor [compass, thermometer, barometer / altimeter], tide chart, moon phase indicator and even a depth gauge in some models [measures the depth of immersion under water].

#1 G-Shock GWN-Q1000

Price ≈ 700$

Premium model from the G-Shock Gulfmaster line, designed for professional sailors. Round hour markers in the style of divers and a small analog window in the form of a sea wave – here everything hints at positioning for the sea. In addition to the shockproof housing design, the metal parts are processed using a special technology that protects against corrosion in conditions of prolonged exposure to moisture. GWN-Q1000 – the first G-Shock-s with a quad-sensor. In addition to a barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure and weather prediction, an altimeter showing altitude, a thermometer measuring air temperature and a compass, the watch has a depth gauge. The built-in water pressure sensor calculates the depth under water within -50m above sea level. Dual dial illumination illuminates both the analog zone and the electronic display. The time is automatically adjusted by a signal from the radio towers, and the battery does not need to be replaced – it is recharged from daylight.

Water styling can be seen in many ways – starting from round “diver’s” hour markers and ending with arrows in ext. windows resembling a ship’s anchor. In terms of functionality, GN is also very marine – there is a dual sensor on board, consisting of a thermometer [measures air temperature] and a digital compass pointing north and showing a degree measure of the angle with respect to the north. In addition, there is also a display of data on the phases of the moon and an ebb and flow sensor – also an important thing for monitoring the water level in the ocean or sea. Bright backlight illuminates the dial in automatic mode.

#4 G-Shock G-9100

Price ≈ 200$

A fresh representative of the G-Steel line is the steel G-Shock with the new protective structure of the Carbon Core Guard. The inner part of the case, which is responsible for protecting the module from negative influences, is made of polyurethane reinforced with carbon fiber, making the case stronger and lighter. The dimensions are reduced compared to the GST-W300 – 53.3 x 49.2 x 14.5 mm versus 55.9 x 49.3 x 15.3 mm. All external parts of the GST-B100 [bezel, buttons, screws, back cover] are made of stainless steel. The digital display is made using STN technology, which gives a larger viewing angle and enhanced image clarity. Designers redesigned the look of the buttons – now they look more stylish and modern. Solar power and Bluetooth synchronization are responsible for the basic functionality of the model, and its basic capabilities are complemented by a stopwatch, timer, alarm clock and world clock.
