Comfortable multi-function solar powered watch, March 8, 2007

I had other G-shock watches before, but now my skin reacts to the rubber watch band. The nylon mesh band is great, with the velcro adjustment, it was very comfortable. I like the Casio for its ruggedness and the solar power is a great bonus. I went snorkeling with this watch, only about 15ft., but it worked fine, I didn’t need to turn on the backlight. The backlight works pretty well low light and dark rooms. The only negative thing about the watch, are the buttons. You need to push them pretty hard to get the function you want. But you get used to it.

Nice Watch, September 23, 2007

I received the watch a week ago. Very easy to set and use. The band can be a little scratchy. I had to adjust the band to be very loose to keep it from being uncomfortable. I like all of the features and most of all how easy it is to use. Read the instructions once and you can figure it out. Very well done.

best watch ever created, November 30, 2007

By 

D. Legler – See all my reviews

  

I’ve owned casio watches since day one. I’m 55 years old. They are the most indistructable watches ever made. I’m a cabinet, displayer maker for a large corp. The watches are never off my wrist, even while in the pool and in the shower. Not one has ever failed to work. I can’t tell you how many I’ve owned. I only buy new ones for a change. The data style lets you store important phone numbers, I’m forgetful and theres too many numbers. If you don’t like big bold watches, this one is not for you. I will never own a different watch, not even rolex.

A new level of damage control, November 14, 2006

By 

Edward T. Armstrong “boardsofcanada1972″ (PA, USA) – See all my reviews

  

This is a great watch. Casio has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. The only flaw with the Mudman is the negative display. It’s a bit hard to see the digits. That is the only problem that I have with the Mudman. Besides that, it’s built like a freaking tank.

Awesome watch!, April 2, 2007

By 

S. A Dotson (South Florida) – See all my reviews

  

My last G-Shock stood up to eight years of military service, diving, deployments, and college life. I attempted to change the battery myself, but did not replace the seal effectively, thereby allowing water to enter the electric portion and ruining it. My fault. Replaced it with this watch, and the tough tradition continues. This watch has a lot of functionality, more than previous G-Shocks.

If you need a watch to survive almost any condition, this would be the one. Looks good with ACUs and BDUs as well.

Great Watch, July 25, 2007

By 

L. Monroe “LM” (Houston, Texas) – See all my reviews

  

This is a great watch! This watch is built for abuse and use. It is light weight. The push buttons get easier to use but remain stiff. This stiffness is essential to remain mud and dust proof. If you are looking for a watch to be a watch and not a barometer, thermometer, or altimeter then this is your product. The type face is easy to read and lights up well at night. This is my first Casio watch and I considered it after purchasing the Casio G’zOne Type-S.

Dressy/Stainless version of the Mudman GW9000A-1, September 13, 2009

By 

Mr. Scott A. Webb (Federal Way, Wa) – See all my reviews

  

This watch is the same as the Mudman GW9000A-1 except for a metal case and band/plastic plated to look like metal instead of the GW9000′s heavy black resin bezel and band.

This makes for a very versatile, tough, and fully featured watch that looks more dressy than the Mudman. I’ve read that the plating (or is it painted) on some of the plastic can wear down to show the plastic underneath, but I’ve seen no evidence of that at all. On the contrary, my watch has seen the some of the same abuse that killed my non-Gshock watches and has come through w/out a scratch.

It has a great feature set. If you’ve ever had a Casio, you know how easy they are to learn to use. A feature I didn’t think I needed, but have come to love is the auto el feature. It automatically flashes the light on for just over a second if you look at the watch in the dark.

This watch is also cool because you can see the time of day when in in countdown timer mode.

This is a great watch if you want: solar charging, atomic time setting, world time, stopwatch, and countdown timer with a light. You can’t go wrong with this watch. Looking for something more blue collar? Try the GW9000A.

Solar Atomic Shocks, October 5, 2010

This is my third G-Shock, and my second Solar-Atomic. My MT-G model served me well for about 10 years. Then, it started losing its ability to hold a charge. I could find no one in my area that could replace the rechargeable battery. So, I opted to order a new G-Shock Solar Atomic watch.

I chose the GW810D-1A because it has a countdown function. Oddly, my first G-Shock had that function, but my MT-G didn’t, and I had used it a lot. After using the GW810D for a while, I find that I prefer the MT-G on several counts. The MT-G has a larger display, and shows the day, date, and time, all at once. The GW810 has a smaller display, and shows the time, and your choice of either the date, or the day, but not both at once. The reason for the smaller display is the oval and three rings across the top of the GW810′s display. Since it will pick up time signals from various transmitters around the world, not just the Colo. transmitter, like the MT-G, it displays the transmitter from which it set itself the last time it set, with a ring for each transmitter. I never have trouble knowing what country I’m in. I think this display could have been accomplished somewhat much less ostentatiously, and allowed for the larger display that the MT-G has.

I should warn older people, especially males, about the alarm functions. All humans start losing their high frequency hearing in their 20s. Men lose if more, and faster. I am 61, and not hard of hearing at all. But, I can only hear the high-pitched alarm when the watch is pointing at me, and within about one foot of my ear. College kids I work with can hear it from 15 feet away. So, having the countdown timer on the GW810 didn’t help me.

About the auto-setting – I live in a wood frame house, and the watch can still be picky about where it is located, to receive a signal. If you live in a steel and concrete building, you will need to place it in a window facing Colorado, to get a reset. When I am out camping, it always resets easily. You can force an auto reset if you need to, just by pressing one button. Also, the watch indicates signal strength.

I like G-Shock Atomic Solar watches. Even if they go without setting for a month, one gained two seconds, while the other lost two seconds. That’s plenty close enough for most of us. If you travel, and need the ability to reset from transmitters in other parts of the world, or you need the countdown alarm function, and can hear high-pitched sounds well, then get the GW810. Otherwise, I recommend the MT-G. If you need to win arguments about exactly what time it is, this is the watch for you. They are extremely durable too.

Stylish and Rugged, March 19, 2009

By 

Geoffrey S. Berrios “BerriosGS” (Atlanta, GA USA) – See all my reviews

  

Great watch for the money! You get the superb Casio functions and options (Atomic, Solar, Stop Watch, 5 Alarms, Timer, & World Time) combined with stylish looks with the all metal band and mostly metal case. Should last for years if any of my previous Casio watches are an indication of durability.
