The Absurd Accuracy of My G-Shock G9000
I have rarely worn any of my digital watches since being sucked into the world of mechanical movements. I have had this Mudman since October 2021, and I think I may have reset the time in three instances since then. Most recently was about two weeks ago.
I was curious to check the accuracy today, so I compared it to NIST (time.gov) and it was SPOT ON. I would expect even a quartz movement to fbe +/- one or two seconds after a week, but this is amazing.
Anyone else out there have a run-of-the-mill quartz watch that has proved to be insanely accurate? I don't mean those dual quartz oscillators that compensate for temperature, or that beat at hundreds of thousands of VPH.
My Mudman said nothing in the description about being an above-average quartz movement, so it definitely came as a surprise. If they made this model in Tough Solar it would be perfect, and not even with Multi Band, 'cause this watch doesn't need it.
Been collecting watches since around 2014, although the watch that kicked off my obsession was a G-Shock 5600 I received in 2011 as a birthday gift. I currently have about a dozen Casio/G-Shock watche...
I have a Casio tough solar S820 and it has gained just 17 seconds after two years of ownership and setting it only once when I first bought it. I have Bluetooth g shocks that are always on time and so in comparison this little gem is a beast actually when it comes to time keeping. I may get the mudman now and I suspect the extra casing ll make it all the more temp resistant and even more accurate!
