New G-SHOCK GWG-B1000 MUDMASTER

Robert Farago — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 16:48:47 +0000

The new G-SHOCK GWG-B1000 Mudmaster is the latest addition to the Master of G line (est. 2015). It’s still as ugly AF (“the solid, rugged look of off-road vehicles and survival gear”). It’s smaller than its G-1000 predecessor (4mm shorter and 2mm thinner) though 4oz heavier than the GWG-2000. More importantly, the G-SHOCK GWG-B1000 has […]

Why the Citizen Promaster Tough Titanium? In my last post, I pronounced the new mechanical Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition over-priced ($1k and up) and unsuitable for its stated case use (outdoor activities). I concluded that it’s a Rolex Explorer wannabe. Which is no bad thing in and of itself. But the $575 Citizen is better. […]

The New Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Makes Its Case As Your New $1,000 Watch. Those of us who’ve spent years reading HoDinkee know what that means: the new Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition watch is over-priced. But they can’t say that, can they? We can. It is. Or is it?

G-SHOCK x Oneness. A bourbon-themed collaboration between a Japanese watch maker and a Kentucky sneaker boutique? Totally makes sense! Bourbon and time have an important relationship. But first, let’s go back to 1981…. The History of the DW-5000C A Casio engineer by the name of Kikuo was walking down the street when he accidentally bumped into […]

The G-SHOCK “Square” is the most iconic model in their line. Even digital watch muggles instantly recognize it as a Casio. Since its introduction in 1983, the Japanese manufacturer has introduced more versions of the Square than ice cream flavors at Baskin Robbins (by a factor of 10). The GW-S5600-1JF is a significant evolution of […]

Something is worth exactly what someone will pay for it. If someone is willing to pay a million dollars for a Timex Marlin, that’s what it’s worth. If someone’s willing to pay $10 for a Richard Mille (my bid) and no one will pay a dime more (which they shouldn’t), it’s worth $10. Of course […]
