Today we review a watch you guys have been asking me about ever since it came out, the Bluetooth Mudmaster - GGB100
As the latest addition to the Mudmaster line this watch is placed between the "entry" level models GG-1000 and GWG-100, and the top of the line GWG-1000.
With it's advanced functions and combination of the full ABC sensor package, this model seems like it is better equipped than even the top of the line model, but the lack of self charging technology makes use of those functions somewhat a guilty pleasure, as you know each press of a button shortens the battery life!
This model is also the first Mudmaster to utilize the Carbon Core Guard confirming Casio's slow switch to this material instead of the regular plastic.
With bluetooth connectivity and a whole range of functions, this is my favorite member of the Mudmaster line.
Wnjoy the review and as usual, a detailed tutorial is coming soon...

I always have batteries for all my watches and tools. Even hikes I go prepared to take care of my watch. Just makes life easier if I prepare a a plan when going anywhere. My wife thinks it foolish until she needs something she forgot. She hated how I hate defeat and will never give up until I complete my goal. When I got cancer she was happy I prepared for everything and fought like hell even when I come close to dying I knew I was good and not going anywhere. Being prepared for anything is extremely important.

I have this watch, the G-Squad GBD-H1000, and the Mudmaster GWG-1000 and I have to say that I really like the GG-B100. Yes, solar power is a bonus however I don't miss it on the GG-B100. The price for the GG-B100 is fairly "low" compared to the solar/atomic watches however you still get a big ass watch with quad sensor AND most important of all you get the quality of Casio. Don't pay attention to the solar/atomic babies, this watch is amazing!

@nmfl100 4 года назад

Thanks for the overview. Regarding the lack of solar power, I see your point, but you talk like the watch is a toy with gimmicky functions meant for playing around at the coffee shop when you're bored, and not an actual tool. I'd assume buyers of this model either almost never use the functions (because they buy the watch for the looks) or they actually do use the functions but only when they need to - and these are functions nobody "needs" to use constantly, even if you're a hiker, fireman, soldier, etc. Besides, the battery replacement is not difficult on this model and the battery type is pretty common. A solar-powered watch will also die after some +/- 10 years and will require a more expensive/complex battery replacement. In fact, most people probably ditch solar-powered watches when the battery dies and just get a new one.

@Alessandro-hu4iy 4 года назад

@leonpatrick5606 4 года назад

I've been using this beast now for a week and use all functions twice a day maybe three times depending. I work in the forestry cutting trees down, so using the barometer to keep an eye on the weather, compass for mapping an area and the location indicator helps me find my lunch and fuel for refilling my chainsaw. And I also brought a spare battery to replace if need be later on. So overall I love this watch, and recommend it to anyone who's work is a more tougher lifestyle and don't mind the watch taking a beating.

@billscully2521 3 года назад

Would you suggest a 9400 rangeman, gwg100, or ggb100. I like the look of all, but don't need the functions. Also I looked at the ga700 as a cheaper alternative

@Kenar.E 3 года назад

I have been using the same Pro Trek PRG-50 for 18 years, since I was 12-13. I had to change the batteries once and it cost me something like 40 euros. Not changing a watch like that for just the batteries.

@mungo75 4 года назад

The lack of tough solar is an automatic no from me, I understand sooner rather than later they'll probably bring out a new GWG-1000 replacement with a new Bluetooth module, but in this day and age when I can buy a GW-M5610 for buttons with tough solar and multiband 6, no tough solar is unforgivable.

@hopper131 4 года назад

You guys are forgetting the watch is sub-$500, has 4 sensors, and bluetooth Low-Energy(BLE). BLE syncs are minute in the amount of power they need, and unless you're constantly hitting the Connect button, the syncs don't occur. My steps are *only* transmitted, or updated when the Connect button is used or the app is opened. Baro/Alti/Thermo/Compass data is not synced. The white LEDs use less energy to iluminate the face in comparison to my GA-1000-1A's UV led, and I was getting about 2 years for that watch with two sensors. I changed the batteries the day I got it (November 2nd) in under 5 minutes and with the low-battery warning functionality there really isn't a reason to worry. If you can afford the watch, you can afford installing new batteries the day you get it and keep the original ones as a spare. GPS, multiband both use WAY more energy than BLE, so in a matter of point of view the solar functionality is an example that some g-shocks are overburdened by features and therefore can't rely on lithium batteries. Solar is their workaround.

@franzvanjulio5523 2 года назад

One advantage of the mineral crystal display is its ability to mitigate damage to the watch due to impact. The more expensive models featuring the sapphire crystal is more scratch resistant but loses its impact protection.

@traviswalker8933 Год назад

Sapphire watch glass works fine on impact resistant watches. Seiko's engineers explain it in detail.

@UCh2eg Год назад

I have/had 10 G-Shocks (digital and anadigi’s)… but I keep coming back to this exact Mudmaster. An analog watch with bright white ticks and hands is just so easy to glance at. The GWG-1000 is nice as well, but is just too busy for me. I even swapped the green band on my GG-B100 with a black one and swapped the bezel with writing for the dark bezel without the writing, to make it even more minimalistic.

@TheJoejak6pac Год назад

I have worn this watch everyday for the past 2 years and it has never failed me. Its the best watch Ive ever owned which was gifted to me by my mom. I guess moms know best because she definitely smashed it with this gift! Quite literary actually since this watch has protected my wrist from impact in the past!

@John_Hoover Год назад

Any feedback you could provide regarding battery life? Replacement? Waterproofing after change? Anything you didn’t like? Maybe ergonomics or comfort? Thanks for the help. John

@TheJoejak6pac Год назад

@@John_Hoover Battery lasted around 2.5 years but I have the auto-light feature turned off all the time so that might help. I have owned 4 G-shock watches and this is the first one that none of the lettering have worn off in the 2.5 years of wear. Also the watch doesnt have any scratches despite heavy use. I take my watch to a watch specialist to change the batteries (there is 2 batteries in this watch), and since I spend a little extra for the replacement, the specialist guarantees the waterproofing. Havent had any issues since the battery replacement. This watch is a great watch so its hard to say anything bad about it despite the expensive battery changes and frequency of battery charging (2 years doesn't feel like a long enough time) but my other G-Shocks are tough solar or have a 10 year battery life so that might make my answer a little biased. I guess the only thing I would change about the watch would be that I'd add the tough solar features so users aren't dependent on the battery as much. Its a big watch with a lot of features, so its understandable that battery life is only 2 years.

@ItzJupiter 5 месяцев назад

@@John_Hoover Awesome watch, highly recommend. Goes well with everything as well.

@Danfow1010 3 года назад

Great video and model. I do think that the Bluetooth is a great addition which helps make it a modern day timepiece. Battery use not a problem personally for me, watch told me when it was getting low, but everything was still working fine a few week later. It took less than 5 mins to change, and batteries are inexpensive (4 for £5). Remember that all tough solar models still use a battery, it's just rechargeable via the solar panel. This will ultimately degrade over the life of the watch, just like a phone battery does, so it will still need to be ultimately replaced if that model of watch allows it?? - probably a Casio job. Great addition to the team 👍

@nearest7 4 года назад

Guys its just one day you have to change the battery. For two years less or more you will go hundreds of adventures if you buy the watch for a porpuse and take all the advantages of the functions. enjoy the watch play with functions press the light for no reason. Not a big problem at all. There are so many more important worries on nature you have to focus 😉 don't get paranoia. Great review 👍

@Happy-Me. 4 дня назад

When you change batteries you should also get the watch pressure tested and this can be expensive! Solar is the way to go. What a shame this model doesn't have it.

@typerightseesight 2 года назад

There are two points on the clock that the compass calibration doesn't spin the watch backwards. These two points are within the 11th hour and the 5th. When you calibrate it. The hands part at 2 points on each side of the watch. At 11 the watch will spin up to 2. and then CONTINUE around the clock back to the 11th hour. Same for the 5th hour it will spin up to 8 and then continue around the clock back to 5. It's not a HUGE importance. Except when you go to calibrate it at any other time it runs itself over. AND you'r barometric readouts on the top left button become smudged. Next time your in the 5th hour or 11th hour go ahead and figure 8 calibrate the compass and youll understand what I am talking about. This goes for the grb200 too. I am assuming. its the same watch.

@whoisdavidbeck 4 года назад

Just bought this exact watch, not worried. About Solar as I also bought a GW9400 Rangeman, and have a G2130 tough solar atomic watch. I like the Bluetooth connectivity, and the Step counter as there are times I don't have my phone on me. Watch is beautiful, easy to read and use. If I go on a long Trek I'll wear the Rangeman, if I'm out on the town I'll wear this piece. Or just wear another while Battery gets replaced. Very comfortable and light, damn near perfect watch. I'll agree adding solar and sapphire would make it so, but that also adds to the price. I got mine for under $300.

my anxiety triggers only on solar watches when it hits medium, more so when on low. My rangeman is still on medium despite a whole day soaking in the sun next to my window. With this, I can always pop in a fresh battery after 1 to two years which is no big deal.

I ordered it as a possible replacement for the GW-9300 (Japan version with radio). After a week I am back to the GW-9300. The GG-B100 is a beautiful watch but readability and operation there is nothing about my digital Mudmaster also wearing comfort at least, in the Japan version is better. And that I must think at some point to battery change and that not all watchmakers perform, because relatively complicated with the GG-B100. And since I'm also not a big Bluetooth fan.

Mate you are not alone there! I own 3 shocks but I have always wanted a negative display gshock and the GD350 has been on my list for many years and the only reason I have not pulled the trigger on it is cause of it not having solar charging while my other 3 shocks are solar charging

I wear the straps on a watch the other way round and because of the light button having that half moon cut out i find it really had to put on i wear the long strap from the 12 o'clock mark and the buckle from 6 o'clock can you buy the straps with the half moon the other way round...

Lost all confidence in this GG-B100 watch as hour, minute & seconds hands stopped working 1 month after purchase. And it's not the battery, it's a module failure. I've never had a watch fail like this, and I bought this thing for durability and reliability. Glad I wasn't hiking in the woods! Happy with my GST-B100 solar though, I'll keep that one.

Why is the battery such a big issue? It's just like any other watch so when it dies you replace it. It only lasts two years at best anyway, you have to replace it eventually regardless of how much you use the gimmicks on it. Not like you're going to be in a position where the battery in your watch is the difference between life and death...

I'd choose the gw-9400 rangeman over this watch any day. Both models are mud and dust resistant by the way. If you want an all digital watch, get the 9400 rangeman (go for the japanese version, it comes on a carbon fiber band) and if you want an analog model, get the gwg-1000 mudmaster. It's the optimal version of the watch here in this video, plus it looks way cooler.

Another advantage that you do not refer is that a watch being waterproof maintain the waterproofing and stop the dust inserting in by the time of opening and closing.Imagine that at 2 years needs new battery so in a decade it needs to be opened 5 times at least.That is not so good for the plastic case too.

How do you guys find the lume? I got the Orange strap version and the lume is almost non existent. If I give it a blast of light, the lume is ok but dies within 15 minutes. Seriously disappointed and wondering if it's possible it's not genuine ( all functions work though so I think it is genuine).

4 года назад

How long did you give it a "blast of light" for? On more expensive watches, for a full nights charge of lume I have seen recommended anywhere from 2-15 full minutes of close range light exposure. Even so, I don't believe Casio puts priority on their lume capabilities.

@burner188 4 года назад

I give my ggb100 about 1.5-2 min shot from my led flashlight right before bed time just for a little boost and I get on average of 5-6 hours of decent lume. I know because I will check the time usually at least once in wee hours of the morning. If absolutely needed, the backlight gets used as well and it is awesome too👍

The sad thing is this watch cannot set location in the app. We just can go back to our previous location when we connected the app. So for me the compass is no use for adventuring, except we only want to go back to our location. Im thinking of getting one of these. I really like the design, it's somehow eye -catching and makes you feel tough 😎 And maybe that's the reason that it cant set a location, otherwise no one buy the GPR B-1000.

I figure this is how the feature works. But, I don't know how it know's my location. I assume it is getting it from the automatic time check that occurs every 6 hours. Does anyone own this watch and can at least try to connect and let me know if it DOES reset your hometime to where you live and not New York. THANKS!

I have this watch. It's a fashion piece not a functioning outdoors watch. It does not keep mud or anything out of the buttons and they wind up sticking all the time. The watch is gargantuan and not practical outdoors any time you move your wrist you trigger buttons. The battery life is short as crap, partially because of the button issue. If you don't have a personality and fill the void with stylish things, I guess this will do. If you need a tough outdoors watch this isn't it. I've had mine back to Casio for service 3 times now. When it gets back this time it's probably going in the garbage
