Casio Men's G9000-3V G-Shock Green Mudman Digital Sports Watch

The Casio Gshock “Mudman” is one of my go to watches when I am doing something involving physical labor or need a watch that can be smashed around while playing sports or swimming , and live to see the end of the day. It is a rather inexpensive watch at only around $80 USD, but I believe it is the best looking and functional Gshock at the $100 pricepoint.

Case

The Resin black 52MM matte case might seem large from a measurement perspective but we have to remember the strap is integrated into the lugs. The watch actually wears quite well on my 6.5 inch wrist which was a surprise. The case is shaped differently than most standard Gshock lines and kind of pops out of its circular design at the user. The actual watch is Shock resistant, Mud resistant, and has an awesome water resistance of 200 Meters allowing me to take this watch in any situation involving water. The absence of a crown definitely helps that aspect of the Mudman as well. We get four buttons , two on each side for scrolling through and setting all the cool functions such as Alarm Clock ( 4 ), Stop Watch, World Time ( 48 Cities ), and countdown timer.

​

Dial

The dial is covered by a Casio Mineral crystal which is expected on almost any Gshock model across the board. The dials can shatter or scratch but honestly the dial is sunken in enough to protect it from anything other than head on collisions. A nice pop of red color is printed here at the 6:00 stating “Mudman” which is definitely neat. Generally in most functions the time will be displayed on this blacked out reverse LCD screen at the bottom half of the dial. Now some might not like a negative display but personally I like the whole Military/Tactical vibe it gives off.

Inregrated strap with Steel Buckle

The Strap which comes with the watch is not bad at all, and you better like it because there are not many options to swap straps on a G-Shock besides a couple mods currently on the market. It is definitely long enough to accomodate large wrists which is good to see from Casio. The comfort level is a 8/10 Id say and I can honestly barely feel it on the wrist. A nice feature on this model is the presence of a steel buckle instead of a plastic one which will help with the longivity of the Mudman.

Caseback

The caseback is one of the funnest parts of this watch because it features the trusty warthog mudman logo. I dont know, it is just cool. This model as stated on the caseback is made in Thailand and atleast they are being up front and honest. If you noticef there are also small grip pods which help it keep stable on the wrist.

Conclusion

Furthermore, the Gshock is a watch that is tough, robust, reliable, and has a bit of character as well. I really like the unique blacked out military look and how it fits on my smaller wrist. I once bought a standard Gshock and it just didn’t feel right so after some digging around I decided this would be the one, and boy was I right.
