To Mudman or not to Mudman!

Since the rumor had emerged, I've seen split opinions of this watch.. Some said this is a definite upgrade, some said Casio starts making fake watches ๐Ÿ˜‚

Any opinions or enlightenment?

The module itself is still alien to me, but this might be the Mudman I'd buy..

UPDATE:

The display looks kinda dim even for the positive ones, but I have to see the watch with my own eyes to judge!

I've seen the leak and rumor of this release since late 2022.. When I said upgrade, I meant upgrade from the GW 9400

And the fake watches also has me confused.

Oh I see, I'm sorry.. Some said the design is quite uninspiring, and leanes toward fake or cheap watches with simplistic design..

Looks fine to me.

Am I correct that the comments you've heard came from You Tube?

Lol YouTube commenters are unhinged.

I just saw this on the video of a female YouTuber..

As for the watch. Casio have thousands of models. Some will be simpler than others. That doesn't make them comparable to fakes. There are big advantages to simplicity in cost, battery life, durability, etc.

Zero moving parts in digitals makes then tougher.

This one isn't cheap. Like 400 bucks. But that will probably come down. And it might mean they can spend more of that money on internal features rather than a fancy dial with hands etc.

Looks huge and really uncomfortable for regular human wrists.

I didn't bother reading the specs but I think they mentioned new features.

I just got the Mudmaster GWG 1000... It's so badass, just go all the way and get the big dog, your gonna love it

I'm not a fan of the reverse negative digital displays, hard to read

Search Casio new releases. It's on the official site. Just scroll to the correct watch.

Otherwise type in g shock magazine or anything like that. I don't know a specific one but I know they exist.

its a intresting take on a modern mudman. It seems they were going for a full digital mudmaster. I think the low profile will be a selling point for me. But my mudman 9300 and G9000 are still better looking to me. I wish they didnt just copy the rangeman features and a protrek looks. The mudman should have been designed from the groind up. iam still going to grab one though.
