Casiowatch G-SHOCK Mad master world six stations corresponding Solar radio GWG-1000-1A3JF Men's

This watch has it all. Many other G-Socks have "Some" of the features but not all. This has a compass, barometer, altimeter, and temperature as well as being solar and being a Multi-band 6 which means it will receive updated time feeds many times a night to ensure it is to the second accurate.All G-shocks are tough beyond reason. There are a few of their upper end models however that receive a sapphire crystal and this is one of them. This will make this watch stand the test of time and still look great many years down the road. It is expensive by normal G-Shock terms but it is really not when you consider all that you get.One neat feature is that the crown actually has a red seal that is very noticeable whenever the crown is not screwed back in. You use this crown to make adjustments to the watch so it is possible to unscrew it and leave it unscrewed, should you be interrupted, but the next time you glance down at it you will see that red "Tattle-tale" on the crown letting you know that it needs to be screwed back in.There are countless reviews on YouTube on how all the features work but for me being an Airborne Infantryman in the Army there is a certain appeal to having a watch with a compass on it. The compass is very useful and accurate. I have checked it against my lensatic compass and it is spot on.Also the luminous markings on this watch are very good for a G-Shock. Good enough that at 4 or 5 AM it is still highly readable without the use of the LED light that it also has. It is not at the level of some of the Seiko's etc. but it is very good all the same.This watch is LARGE so do keep that in mind. Mine was bought for my Son for Christmas last year. He is about 6' tall now and even at that size the watch is just simply big. It does not look out of place however and the way the backside of the watch is made it fits very nicely on your wrist.This watch will probably last for a decade or two honestly, being worn daily. By that time I am sure there will be other (possibly) better watches out but these stand the test of time so well. If you are on the fence about this watch just get it. You will not be disappointed with it I do not think and consider this also: If you break this watch you are probably broken as well. This watch will stand up to basically almost anything, many things that would simply destroy many other much more expensive "Robust" watches. This all started with a engineer in Japan who dropped and broke his watch going to a meeting one day way back, just look at what continuing innovation and pursuing excellence has produced. On that day he got the thought of making a tougher watch, I would say he deserves a great deal of thanks.I have a saying, "All boys (and any outdoorsy young ladies) should have a G-Shock. I think it important for a young person to learn to rely on a quality, rugged instrument such as this. It fosters in them the desire to always keep quality at the forefront of important purchases if they come to appreciate what a G-Shock offers them.It comes in some great packaging and it will give that little buzz when you hold it for the first time, if you are a watch person, and then it will serve you loyally for so many years to come. I do not think you can ask for anything more from any watch, this one just happens to have it all.This is a really great watch!!

They are fantastic tools. I suggest just get it and use it , figure out all of the many things this watch is capable of. Great quality and functions!

I love this watch and the functions it has. Everything works, even the radio-signal time update, which I didn't think would from my location (and it works without placing it near a window). The negative digital display is difficult to read at times, but I can overcome that. I wish Casio would stop with the negative displays on some of their nicer watches. This model (GWG-1000 1A3) certainly has the easiest to read face and the Lume is perfect. Even the "Green" band looks cooler than I thought. It's very dark, almost black. I prefer this model over the newer GWG-2000. Is it worth the cost? Probably not. But what is now days? Very glad I was able to purchase this awesome timepiece.

I ordered this watch through “Last Samurai” out of Nagoya, Japan. It arrived via DHL Express in only 6 days, Japan to the East coast of the United States...outstanding!Arrived in good condition. Went right onto Utube to verify it wasn’t a fake. Watch is genuine Casio!Gave it four stars because the digital display can be tough to read if sunlight isn’t hitting it just right. Other than that the watch is awesome. The analog display is huge as well as the control buttons. The LED light is bright. My photos show the “glow” of the hands and numbers after being hit with a UV light.The barometer is very accurate. The altimeter is a little subjective.I live on the East coast of the US as already mentioned and have a no issues with the watch receiving time corrections from the atomic clock in Colorado as long as I leave the watch on my night table, the corrections come in between mid-night and 2AM. If I put it in a drawer it won’t update. It logs each update so you know when you’ve got it.For a watch this size it is lite weight and very comfortable to wear, I am 6 ft. and 196lbs. (88.9kg).I’m very happy with my purchase.

I spent several months looking at this watch and trying to decide if the green would look good or not. This watch looks so much better in person and I'm so happy I got it. I will still be getting to black version but this watch is awesome!

This is one of the best G Shock’s I think it’s better than my Rangeman 9400 and that was my favorite watch to wear everyday. My next G Sock is going to be the Mudmaster 2000 and the newest Rangeman

Huge x4....size, quality, features and price!!!!
