Casio Men’s G-Shock Mudman Solar Atomic Watch #GW9000A-1

Love my G-Shock
My husband owned a G-Shock since 1998 and it was very durable, unfortunatley not durable enough for my 10 month old puppy (she chewed it up). So for Valentine's I purchased for him a new and improved G-Shock and he absolutely Loves it!! Very reliable, durable watch, not to mention the fast shipping time, we recieved it way before Valentine's Day, Thank you so much!!

Fire and Forget
This is a review after about one month of ownership. And it is exceptional. From a Florida window sill, I have no problem getting the atomic clock setting to function. Also, I have verified with a atomic clock phone application and I have never been out of sync with it more that 1/12 of a second if my phone app is correct. Backlight works great in the dark, and it can be set if you hold your wrist at an angle. My process is slow for learning all the features, but I use the stop watch regularly and had no function problems. There is also a vast array of times available for world cities. And the atomic feature is available for 5 atomic clocks worldwide. One slight difficulty is that I have to push the buttons hard to scroll through the menus which, I consider, is easy to get used to. I hope to update this review on the 'mudman aspect' or after use in more extreme conditions.

Mudman review
The watch will serve my needs. It was easy to set up. and easy too use. I thought it would be bigger and the band could be larger and thicker.

Extremely Reliable(Great G-Shock for the Price!)
My brother and I have had many G-Shock watches, ranging from styles all over. We have also owned some limited edition ones as well. My brother got this particular Mudman for me because I just joined the National Guard. Hes in the Air Force and owns a Mudman himself,but an older model. His watch isn't solar powered or atomic, but is still in great condition, since Mudman watches can handle anything I hear! The buttons are a little tough to push, but all Mudman's are made this way. This is why they are able to handle the beating or day-to-day wear and tear you give it! The atomic sync is great, right out the box it synced the time and it was accurate, since I live in NYC. I also like the Auto EL(Move your wrist toward you and it automatically lights up). The watch is great... I'm going to put it to the test each time I go out with my unit. I recommend this timepiece to any military personnel in any branch! A Great Buy!

High tech in low profile.
I got this G-shock over a week ago and I have to say, it's the bee's knees. The minute you feel it you can tell someone had put alot of thought into the design. Its tough air-tight exterior lets you rest assured this puppy can take whatever is thrown at it. The countdown timer is a handy addition as well.
My only gripes about the watch is it's alarms. Although Casio boast to having five of them, they are not loud or long (only 10 seconds) enough to wake even the lightest sleeper up from a day dream. The rubber nubs on the bottom used to raise the watch off your skin to let air and water flow chaffed my wrist a little at first but it's all good now. Yes, the button are hard to press, but you get used to it.
