G 9000, Mudman Series Review

Master of G For Active People

Design

G Shock G 9000 Overview

This G 9000 Series has a simple design with a thick rubber body. This G Shock is specifically design for Hard Core out door use. As it stated in its name, Mudman, Mud is its natural habitat. You may use it in out door activity which is involving Mud or Water without any fear of this watch being damaged or malfunction because of getting wet.

Feature

The Feature in this series is quite similar to any standard G Shock. It has Auto Light, Alarm, World Time, Etc. A feature missing for an outdoor G Shock is Rechargeable Battery, which is not a set back for this watch since it can still last for 2 years in normal use. Main feature which is not the digital technology, is the feature for out door use. The Body is made of thick rubber, as I mentioned earlier, which make this G Shock is Shock Proof and the back of it is covered by rubber to maximize its water and mud resistance.

Toughness

"Master of G" Toughness

As a part of "Master of G" family, toughness is a must. You can use this watch to play in the mud without any fear, since there is the place where this watch should live. Even in the toughness test that is done by Casio UK and being uploaded in YouTube, the G Shock used to demonstrate some of the stress test is this G 9000.

Variation

G 9000 Color Variation

Unlike other G Shock which come with variation model which has Tough Solar feature, this G Shock only provide color variation. Other variation for this series is the Military Series, the G 9000 MS. This MS series is likely to be the most favorite variation for Mudman since its color suits the Outdoor activity.

Alternative

G 9300 as Costly Alternative

I think there is no alternative for this series, but if you want a more modern Mudman, Casio is now launching a new Mudman, the G 9300. It has a rather larger size but thinner. It has more tech in it, like Compass, Thermometer, Moon Phase, Tough Solar Battery, etc. The only reason you wouldn't chose G 9300 than G 9000 because of its price.
