Simple Living

Having now owned several G-Shocks I've come to appreciate certain features of various models.  For most part all I care about primarily is 'size'.  Features are secondary and so long as it has World Time, I'm happy. Size (5600 wins) In terms of size the 5600's are my favorite, but the convenience of the illumination button front and center on the 6900 is beautiful. The compromise?  It has to go to the 9000 series Mudman.  While the buttons are difficult to press it is the right size and button arrangement that just connects with me as one of my favorite G-Shocks thus far.  Now Module versions this is probably a bad selection to compare as I have a GLX, G and DW types.  But form factor wise they are roughly equivalent representatives of their model series.  There are certainly much larger G-Shocks, but for me the 6900 is where I will draw the line for now. Features (G9000 Wins, GLX5600 Good Second) Most G-Shocks have the standard basics down pat and all I car

Purchased a Casio G-Shock Mudman G-9000MS-1 in Black.  It is part of a Military Inspired Series and uses a 3031 Module.  The watch is relatively small and feels like a 'round' 5600.  It's slightly larger than a 5600, but is dwarfed by a 6900. Overall had the watch for a few hours and I rather like it.  The buttons are very difficult to push, but otherwise acceptable.  Out of all the G-Shocks thus far I like the Mudman quite a bit, almost as much as the 5600's. The Negative LCD display is a bit iffy and can be difficult to read under certain lighting conditions.  I'll endure it for a while, but may opt to purchase a standard G9000 and swap out the housing as I prefer the all black bezel and strap of this version.
