Casio G-SHOCK Mudmaster Ref. GG-B100 Watch Hands-On | New for Baselworld 2019 | aBlogtoWatch
G-Shock is releasing the all-new Mudmaster GG-B100 in July 2019. The GG-B100 is part of the recent wave of Carbon Core Guard G-Shocks and has a carbon fiber-reinforced case and a carbon fiber bezel.
The GG-B100 has a Quad Sensor but it is not the same Quad Sensor as the GWN-Q1000 Gulfmaster which included a water Depth Meter. Three of the sensors are the pressure sensor (altimeter and barometer), compass, and thermometer, and the fourth is a step counter. The GG-B100 will have the Bluetooth mobile link function that allows the watch to connect to the G-Shock Connected smartphone app for various functions such as automatic time adjustment, flight log, mission log, calorie consumption display, and automatic altitude correction. This is the first G-Shock watch to have both a Triple Sensor and Bluetooth connection.
A noticeable addition to this model that the other “junior” (non-GWG-1000) Mudmaster models lack is the front-facing light button. As with the new GA-2000 series, the new Carbon Core Guard case allows the watch to have guardless buttons. Unlike the sleeker look of the GA-2000, the GG-B100 retains the signature armored look of previous Mudmaster models with resin parts placed over the bezel.
The GG-B100 will launch with three colorways in July 2019 with the black GG-B100-1AJF, green GG-B100-1A3JF, and orange GG-B100-1A9JF. Casio America also announced the GGB100-1A3 for an August 2019 release with a list price of $350.
