Casio has announced a new model in its hugely popular G-Shock Mudmaster range which includes a rugged metal casing, but is still as tough as they come.
The G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000 is a hybrid timepiece that feature’s the brands traditional dust and water resistance, so can go on adventures with you, but is also handsome enough to be worn everyday.
The chunky metal casing serves to accentuate the aesthetics but also has a practical purpose. There is protection in both the 12 and 6 o’clock positions that guard the glass face from bumps, scrapes and shocks. They are coated with carbon for extra abrasion resistance, while the strap is made from bio-resin for comfort.
The GWG-B1000 is also the first G-Shock watch to feature three sensors, to read compass bearing, altitude/barometric pressure, and temperature.
You also get solar charging and radio wave reception on board, and you can connect the timepiece to aniPhoneorAndroidphone to increase its usefulness

For example, Casio’s dedicated smartphone Mobile Link app has a location indicator feature that will point the inset dial hand towards a destination, after you set it in the app. You also get a mission log, which will record your activity for future analysis.
The watch will also automatically switch between time zones when connected to the app, and can help you find your phone at the touch of a button, should you forget where you put it down.
