Happy to help, thats the great thing about these watches....they don't break the bank account when you purchase them, and owning numerous watches gives you functions for any activity you do.
Thanks for the kind words Sjors, good to see you hear. Rally has been very helpful for cycling. Helps set a goal time and track wither you hit the goal time or went over it. I didn't really understand it at first until I used it. Enjoy yours.
Right now im wearing a G-SHOCK DW-6900 that ive had since i was 20, im 33 now and a couple batteries, and two watch bands later it still works great, but i wanted to update my timepiece so i bought the same one you have, FEDEX is on its way as i type!! i cant wait!! thanks for the video!!
First of all, thank you VERY much for your service, you definitely have a lot of support. Good luck with your new career. Mudman is excellent in any version mainly due to nothing getting in the cracks between the buttons and screen. another good one is from the 5500 series, same protection. Good luck with your decision.
very nice review, Doug - was not really sure, if I need them, but after this presentation I have made my order ;)))) thanx very much - looking forward to see more videos from you
Just got this piece today!!!!!Gr8 watch....had rise man and frogman series befor...mudmans my first....but was dissapointed by the size of the watch....rest rocks....pathfinder will be my nexxxtaaaa!!!
Love you vid man. I just bough this watch for 3 weeks now as my advance 21 B'day ( it's on june) and i have to say this watch is amazing. I suits me coz i'm a rough and loves doing sports. I once had i under the sun to charge for too long and the whole screen goes black cos the liquid was boiling LOL.
I was thinking about buying this watch , until I saw this video. I own the Casio GW-M850 model # 3155. They are basically the same watch,they both have the same features , in the same order. The only difference is mine is not mud resistant. I bought mine for about $75.00 on ebay.
mudman watches are the strongest out there rigt now. got two of them, GW-9010-1 and the GW-9000A. big watch but feels small, thats whats good about it!
@labalbi I have a GW-M5600-1ER and the automatic time-synching facility can be switched on or off so I'm sure this Mudman will be the same. Hopefully the watch will be synched when you receive it (you may need to buy it mail order from the USA and ask the seller to make sure it is synched and then switched to manual before they ship it.) Hopefully the 'G' will stay.
@lemm05 That is why the Teams wear 'em! Thinking about getting the GWM850-1! It has a pretty low profile compared to many other Gs so it can fit under cuffs unlike the "Rescue" serie.
I just got my first G-Shock, and only afterwards I realized how many different types of G-Shocks exist; TONS! And they all do crazy things and look magnificent. Now, I want to enjoy those watches and switch them around, so I would need to buy a few distinctive G-Shocks to have at hand. Which, for example 4 or 5 different types of G-Shocks would you recommend? For example if the categories are Retro, Chunky, Military type, analog and function laden.
Hi Doug, Great review. I had my doubts about this model, but I think you have taken them away. I had the same thoughts about the GW-9000, when it came out. I am now looking forward to the M.I.R.O. model, that I have ordered. Also thanks for explaining the rally function. I tried to understand what everybody wrote, but you video explains more than thousand words. Kind regards, Sjors (G-Peopleland)
Negative displays are definitely not as easy to read as regular displays, I wouldnt get one as a daily wearer as they are more difficult to read at night. Unfortunately I dont own the watch you mentioned, I review em as I get em ;)
as i sd this mud man is my frst so cant really help u much in terms of size but i felt it ws small....but otherwise its just gr8 in terms of its price,sync mode(time),timers,auto light's...and ofcourse the watch being from G-Shock casio...guraanteed Tough!!
Hey I found this watch for sale on Amazon.com but the retailer was Shopemco I paid under $200.00 and Was shipped on a monday arrived the next day lol and thats not with the faster shipping. When I ordered they had two new ones left and two used ones so maybe they might have more look in to it.... Lates
Looks like a great watch! Looking for a watch that is reliable for time keeping as i am a paramedic and time keeping is very important. I am stuck between the riseman and mudman, please, someone help...
hi can you help me? i could not seem to find that day of the week underneath the display..it only shows city I'm in. I want to see the days of the week instead of the city. Thank you
Wow, been a long time since I had this watch! Im going to guess you simply give a quick push of the Setting button....or somewhere in the settings you press the light button? Please let me know if that works.
got the same watch but when i unboxed it didnt dispaly anything!! does it work only with solar recharging battery or u can charge the battery it has with an normal one?? thnx in advance,and nice video btw!! :DD
what about g-9010-1? it looks excactly the same but without the 6-band atomic option. in casio's main site, I found the g9010 but not the gw9010, adnd in the g-shock main site I found the gw9010 but not the g9010. should I be worried? how can I know if it is fake? and, please tell me, does it have a scratch proof glass?
Hey DougFNJ I have a question I live in canada and i just bought this watch i tried to sync it I got the right time but no G is it because I live or maybe my surroundings?//
Happy to help, thats the great thing about these watches....they don't break the bank account when you purchase them, and owning numerous watches gives you functions for any activity you do.
I bought my Mudman Rally after seeing this video over 12 years ago.
This was a classic!!
wow....you did a great job reviewing this watch. thank you!!! straight to the point. No BS
thanks...this was detailed rally timer review. with the looks and functions this can be my favourite G-Shock next to my GXW-56-1AJF
Thanks for the kind words Sjors, good to see you hear. Rally has been very helpful for cycling. Helps set a goal time and track wither you hit the goal time or went over it. I didn't really understand it at first until I used it. Enjoy yours.
Great review as usual. This is indeed a great G-Shock, perhaps my favorite. You are my favorite G reviewer as well!
Right now im wearing a G-SHOCK DW-6900 that ive had since i was 20, im 33 now and a couple batteries, and two watch bands later it still works great, but i wanted to update my timepiece so i bought the same one you have, FEDEX is on its way as i type!! i cant wait!! thanks for the video!!
No problem, good to see you here man.

Good luck with your decision.
That g-shock really ties the room together man.. :)
Both great watches, you couldn't go wrong with either.
i own one, and i dont think it is that big or thick, very nice watch, this video helped me decide to buy it.
i own several g-shocks and this one is one of my favorites!
Thanks for the great words guys, very happy to provide these reviews.
You got it, and more videos to come after the Holiday.
very nice review, Doug - was not really sure, if I need them, but after this presentation I have made my order ;))))

Thanks for the review. Really cool watch-just wish it it came in gray camo like the G9000.
Great video man... Lots of details... Thanks for taking the time to do this video...

They will be offering these soon in Orange for the Men in Rescue Orange series. I'm sure other colors will be released as well.
You gotit, and of course, don't worry about what others think.....get it if YOU like it.
Just ordered mine! Can't wait

Thanks for a great review,Doug. G-Shock here from the "G-Shock" forum:)

Nice video. Just got hold of a similar watch (minus atomic time keeping) Awesome!
Good Video. Thanks for all the details. By the way.....MUDMAN is a great watch!!!
@lemm05 That is why the Teams wear 'em! Thinking about getting the GWM850-1! It has a pretty low profile compared to many other Gs so it can fit under cuffs unlike the "Rescue" serie.
It is around the same specs as the Riseman, if you like the fit of one, you will have no problem with the fit of the other.
The white on black (Negative Display) could be a bit hard to read at night. Good for outdoors in daylight.
I just got my first G-Shock, and only afterwards I realized how many different types of G-Shocks exist; TONS!
And they all do crazy things and look magnificent. Now, I want to enjoy those watches and switch them around, so I would need to buy a few distinctive G-Shocks to have at hand.

You should check out> the men in rusty black series.
It's a nice collection of dark black G-shocks with millitairy details.
@joelp597 no need to change battery. solar atomic. sets itself too. just put it by a window in your house.
Just oredered mine should arrive in the morning :)
Riseman easlily, love my 5600C too as its a great screwback classic.

Great review as always Doug!
I bought the older mudman yesterday I didn't know they had a solar version of it.
9300 for the win! Back big and chunky like a real mudman! And it suits a smaller wrist too which is just awesome for me! Ha. Nice review though!
Good review .very nice watch and very though
Thanks alot for your help.
You could find either version on Ebay.
Great report, although for future...you should hold up a quarter over the face to give viewers an idea of size (would have been very helpful) Thanks!
Negative displays are definitely not as easy to read as regular displays, I wouldnt get one as a daily wearer as they are more difficult to read at night.
Unfortunately I dont own the watch you mentioned, I review em as I get em ;)
as i sd this mud man is my frst so cant really help u much in terms of size but i felt it ws small....but otherwise its just gr8 in terms of its price,sync mode(time),timers,auto light's...and ofcourse the watch being from G-Shock casio...guraanteed Tough!!
@joelp597 Yes you dont need to replace the battery at all.solar powered.....and powerfull as hell...Go for the original!!!!!!!
Hey I found this watch for sale on Amazon.com but the retailer was Shopemco I paid under $200.00 and Was shipped on a monday arrived the next day lol and thats not with the faster shipping. When I ordered they had two new ones left and two used ones so maybe they might have more look in to it.... Lates
@TheThunder1989 No, i bought my g-shock by an casio shop, it`s also made in thailand! Dont worry.
when you get the watch it is in power save mode. just push any button and it pops on.
i have this one and three other mudman models.......these watches take a beating
got the blue mudman! different model though. i got that model too!
i like the new mudman in red is hotttt
Nice watch btw
@lemm05 i got a military mudman black and i love it!
I Just Bought This Watch yesterday
@LiLBbyGurlx3 Light is light green, easy readable face.
@ImTheSaxMan Lockerz doesnt give this model, lockerz gives the mudman G-9000, this one is the GW-9010
Good review!
But what's the difference between the ralley timer and the countdown timer?
Looks like a great watch! Looking for a watch that is reliable for time keeping as i am a paramedic and time keeping is very important. I am stuck between the riseman and mudman, please, someone help...
@lalbi He So Does!
hi can you help me? i could not seem to find that day of the week underneath the display..it only shows city I'm in. I want to see the days of the week instead of the city. Thank you
Wow, been a long time since I had this watch! Im going to guess you simply give a quick push of the Setting button....or somewhere in the settings you press the light button? Please let me know if that works.
Jesus Christ. They added an unabridged pocket dictionary with the watch. That thing is thick.
@lalbi Yeah, he does sound like "The Dude".
ya it will, just click "YTO" time zone, I have 2
@DougFNJ How do you set the atomic time for this? It's a little confusing. idk if mine is messed up or how it works. Thanks
can you please show how long the backlid lights stay on?
got the same watch but when i unboxed it didnt dispaly anything!!
does it work only with solar recharging battery or u can charge the battery it has with an normal one?? thnx in advance,and nice video btw!! :DD
In your own opinion which is the best Casio G shock watch to get?
hey how did you buy this watch because i tried buying this watch online and couldn't find it. i went to the g shock website.
@vallo220 i looked all over for this watch and i cant find it. Where did you buy it????
I get a lot of them through Ebay ans watchuseek sales forum
would you say this one is about as good as the GW9000A-1? I like how this one looks better but it doesnt seem to have quite as many functions
shop around before you buy, found it pretty cheap online
I find the Casio brand to be superior to the Timex brand....just personal preference though.
@vallo220 hey i looked all over for it where did you purchase it?
what about g-9010-1?
it looks excactly the same but without the 6-band atomic option.
in casio's main site, I found the g9010 but not the gw9010, adnd in the g-shock main site I found the gw9010 but not the g9010.
should I be worried?
how can I know if it is fake?
and, please tell me, does it have a scratch proof glass?
you didn't show the flash alert feature!!!
I was thinking about getting the G-shock 9000, do you know if that model comes with this type of packaging, thanks. :)
Hey DougFNJ I have a question I live in canada and i just bought this watch i tried to sync it I got the right time but no G is it because I live or maybe my surroundings?//
@ydabom
Many languages is why
Get this one or save up for a GA100-1A1? I'm not a fan of digital displays but is the extra 40$ worth it?
is this the bulkiest g-shock? i don't know wich one to buy, i would like a military-style one
where did you buy this watch? i cant seem to find it because it was a limited edition
how is the light you didn't show it
for some reason I just find the phrase "resin bezel" to be pretty hilarious. don't ask me why.
Can you have the reg standard time and military time at the same time because mine both says the standard time unless I Change it to 24 hour.
Never hurts to get both, heh heh heh
mine doesnt have he little g in the middle between the seconds
is this the GW-9010-1 or GW-9010-1ER and whats the difference between the two? (i ordered a 1ER which i will get in between 3-10 days)
I prefer the older version. the G9000
can you charge g-shcok solar watches with artificial light? Like a lamp?
is this the best out off all of them because i got mine yesterday
@kastutan
really 7 years?
no battery replacement? :o
i got 1!i hve the gray w/ orange buttons!
i had bought this watch,,,but it is made in thailand,,, do you think its fake?
Voice like Tom Hanks :)
What is the signal alarm, what does it do???
yes u can but not as fast as it would from sun!
