The watch is light weight. It is very tough and resistant. I love the black design and colour of the lettering. World time is great. I appreciate the features such as the compass, Timer, stopwatch, and many alarm intervals that can be used. The buttons are quite hard, but It is built this way to resist harsh conditions and especially no to let in dust and mud particles get inside the watch. Loving it!

Watch is good, nice functionality. Compass and temp censor work fine. Moon indicator is nice. Buttons are sturdy and bit hard to press at times. Inverted display is hard to read sometimes. Autolight can consume too much battery in these dark days for the solar charging to keep up.

I’ve written the review I wish existed before I bought the G9300GB. I hope it helps. I have wanted a Casio G-Shock Masters of G watch for some time, so when I came across a Mudman for a very reasonable price, I finally pulled the trigger. The model I bought is G9300GB-1, the black and gold Muddie with the negative display. I was disappointed in the small number of reviews when shopping for this watch, so I am writing this for those of you still undecided. My first concern was with the negative display. I’ve always liked the look of negative digital display watches, but I read that visibility on this model is a major problem. Apparently people couldn’t read it. When the watch finally came in the mail the first thing I did was check the display at various angles and light levels. I can honestly say that the display is bright and easily legible in most light levels. In dim light it is indeed a little fuzzier, but still legible. I don’t have the greatest vision, but I have had no more problems reading this watch in low light than have with positive-display watches. No, you do not need a direct light source to read the display. Yes, I have had to use the onboard glow feature in very low light levels or complete darkness, but again that is also the case with positive display watches. And if you own the G-Shock GA110 whose side-mounted light feature leaves something to be desired, fear not. The Muddie has a strong, green glow from the backlight. Another concern I had from the reviews I’ve read is that the buttons are hard to press. I will say that while they do require a little more force to press, they are by no means difficult. If anything they feel solid and well-built, and you get the impression that you are not compromising any water and dirt-resistant seals when you press them. On top of that the rubber used for the buttons is textured so they are easy to grip, even when wet. If you are not sure you are pressing the buttons properly, you can turn on the beep setting (I believe it is turned on by default) that lets you know you just pressed a button with an audible but not annoying chime. Again, I have no complaints. Overall the watch is the perfect weight and, while it is still pretty big on the wrist, it’s not ridiculous. The casing seems to be pretty resistant to damage as I’ve accidentally knocked the watch into a few walls and desks with no apparent scuffing. While I do wish the buckle was double-pronged like the GA110, the single prong feels sufficient (and it is gold to match the seconds/compass display on the watch face). The compass works reasonably well even while being worn (instruction recommend you remove the watch to use it, but I haven’t had to). The thermometer reading is heavily influenced by body heat as you can imagine, so if you need a more accurate reading you do have to remove the watch from your wrist. I synced the time down to the second with the U.S. Atomic Clock and it is still accurate down to the second. The moon phases have also been spot-on so far. The settings are easier than I was expecting. Use the manual the first time and you’ll be set for life. As for the look, it’s much cooler than I was expecting. I’ve worn the Muddie everywhere from cutting the lawn to a suit-and-tie business meeting, and it seems to work everywhere. The watch is 100% jet-black with the exception of the shiny gold accent on the buckle and watch face, so it looks rich for a digital watch. The negative display (now my favorite thing about it) complements the black perfectly as does the lettering on the band. It is a very cool-looking watch without being tacky or ostentatious. I have very little to complain about when it comes to G9300GB-1. The only change I would make would be a double-pronged buckle, but it isn’t necessary. Also the battery doesn’t seem to change as fast as I was expecting – it was on Medium through the first several days of wear. Again, I believe this is a non-issue. Really, everything else is perfect, and I am thoroughly impressed. As someone who truly hates the feeling of buyer’s remorse, I cannot recommend this watch enough. Read full review

Purchased this model amongst many other because it was a special edition. I like the all black tone with touch of gold. It does make a statement and I have received some compliments already. My first G-Shock purchase and so far no problems to report, albeit I have not had a chance to put it through the ringer of the sense of mud, excessive water, and scuffs & bumps. I definitely appreciate the styling, the surprising amount of lightweight-edness of the watch (especially for looking heavier than it actually is). Very satisfied and am now looking forward to my next G-Shcok purchase :)
