Casio has launched its Mudman GDG-B100 series of G-Shock watches, which consists of three colour options. As you’d expect from a series that’s aimed at hikers, and outdoors people in general, you get a pretty rugged watch case that measures in at 63.6 × 49.6 × 16.2 mm, and weighing 66g. Notebookcheck reports that case construction consists of carbon fibre-reinforced resin, as well as what is called Carbon Core Guard structure.
Adding to the rugged nature is mud resistance plus dust sealing, as well as a water resistance of up to 200m to go with that vaguely off-road vehicle look. Oddly enough, it doesn’t feature Casio’s Tough Solar charging tech, nor does it use rechargeable batteries. Instead, the Mudman GDG-B100 uses pretty conventional CR2032 batteries, with the watch rated to get two years of use out of these.
