[Live Photos] G-Shock G-9000 Mudman Review

The G-9000 Mudman was released in 2006 in Japan. This was no silent addition to the market. Casio had press releases galore, and this watch was highly anticipated. Photographs and drawings appeared, that looked spectacular. For months before the watch was finally made available, its features were a constant subject of speculation.

When the first few days of sales ensued, it was a feeding frenzy. After all, this was the first newly designed “Master of G” in many years. It had to be better than your ordinary G. As soon as Casio would release a batch, they’d quickly be bought up. For those of us in the US, we had a long wait until they would first appear in a local store.
