Casio G-Shock Mudman

Built for action. It has been more than a quarter century since I owned a digital wrist watch. I was looking for a watch that could stand up though and rugged use (for my hopefully upcoming more active lifestyle). My wife bought me a Casio G-Shock Mudman. She chose well, the classic G-Shock Mudman is built to survive the most extreme environments.

Casio G-Shock Mudman. The Casion G-Shocks feature a shock resistance resin case. The Mudman has a Mud Resistant Case to prevent mud, dirt and dust from getting into the watch. A molded back cover and variable durometer urethane covered bezel and buttons to prevent foreign particles, such as mud, sand or oil from entering the watch or accumulating between the back case and wearer’s wrist. This does make the buttons harder to press than your typical digital watch.

In line with its being designed for though use, the watch is water resistant to 200 meters is resistant temperatures as low as  -20°C. The watch is rated to be acurrate to +/- 15 seconds per month.

The LCD display can be lit by a electro-luminescent backlight by pressing a button on the face of the watch. The watch also has an auto light switch, which automatically turns on the light when you rotate your wrist to point to your face.

In addition to being thought, the Casio G-Shock Mudman is also includes a series of timekeeping features, able displays world time in 29 time zones (48 cities), has a "perpetual" calendar programed to keep the day and date correct till the year 2099, has two stopwatches, a countdown timer and five independent alarms.
