The latest iteration of the storied MUDMASTER timepiece falls into the signature G-SHOCK step with improvements and innovations that are spot-on for outdoor enthusiasts. The incorporation of tough carbon fiber and a new “carbon core guard” case construction technique lead off those innovations. A large, but understatedly lit, LCD screen rides above 6 o’clock, ready to move centerstage when needed.
The pushers around the G-SHOCK case have received special additional protection from dirt, dust, water, and mud in the MUDMASTER GGB1000. Those pushers sync with the LCD screen display data to give temperature, barometer/altimeter readings, compass data, including a true “North” indication, as well as a new step-counter function, making this watch a “Quad Sensor” array. The dedicated pusher approach makes access to key features incredibly simple in the field, without having to cycle through multiple LCD display functions via a single activator for every display mode. All of the G-SHOCK sensor features can become crucial when playing in the woods, but the MUDMASTER GGB100 can also pre-load sunrise and sunset times via a connected G-SHOCK Connected App, ensuring an added level of safety for woodland adventures.

The most distinctive specs:
– 200-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
– Mud Resistant (helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge)
– Carbon Core Guard structure (integrates the lugs and pipes that connect the band into single pieces, creating a wall that isolates the watch’s module from impact. The resin of the center case is also reinforced with carbon fibers, which further enhances module protection, while reducing overall weight)
– G-SHOCK Connected App (you may manage all watch settings through your phone)
– Mobile link (Wireless linking using Bluetooth(R)) (for time sync with your phone data)
– Digital compass (measures and displays direction as one of 16 points)

– Thermometer (can measure and display the outside temperature in a range from -10 C to 60 C)
– Barometer (measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather)
