GWG-1000 VS GWG-2000
ALL NEW GSHOCK GWG2000
G-SHOCK - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
GWG-2000: Better materials (SS bezel; forged carbon bumpers; CC guard; SS crown); better digital display; much better illumination; thinner; lighter; improved buttons and crown; larger solar panel area. If you have a GWG-1000 already, probably, not worthy to upgrade. If you don't, it makes sense to get the GWG-2000, specially if you can get it at less than MSRP.
Besides different materials and little bit different design there is no too much difference. Illumination is same, on this model of gwg 1000 shown in video illumination is bad but in gwg 1000 1a (I own that one) illumination is that same like on gwg2000. Honestly not worth of extra money if you have gwg 1000, same module.
They should introduce totally new model with added features like independent altimeter (not connected with barometer) and depth meter i.e. quad-sensor but in hard core package.

This is the best review of these watches I found on YT. Thanks
The GWG1000-1A1 that you are using in this video is the blackout edition and that is the reason why it doesn’t have the same illumination as the other one. You should have used the GWG1000-1A3..
Best comment on here 💯on the GWG-1000 1A3 on the illumination, far superior model than these both
Thanks for being the only here to know about the Blackout edition, instead of saying the watch was defective.
Thanks bro.
Best review. Accounted for every aspect. Don’t waste your time on other vids they’re just for show.
I truly appreciate that comment lol…. Thank you
Excellent companion video! Great to see the differences, even if there are not many.
Thank you for a very informative video! I'll place an order tomorrow ☺️
The gwg 1000 black model that your using for this comparison to compare the illumination is the only one that doesn't have the numbers illuminate, all the other gwg1000 illuminate all the numbers just like the gwg2000 , they made the black version gwg1000 that your using like that on purpose, they toned everything down for a more formal look, get another gwg1000 model and you'll see what I'm talking about, this black version has a function that you can program to automatically light up the L.E.D. when you tilt the watch at an angle to look at the watch at night time in the dark, this function illuminates the watch better than just the glow in the dark function, this function might work for all other models , but not sure, I know for sure this function is equipped with the black version because I own one.... you did an awesome job on this video, kudos to you 👏
🤣🤣🤣
i am pretty sure they toned down the lume on the black one because it is designed to be a more stealthy "special forces hides in the bush" kind of watch and you would not want the lume to give up your location
Exactly what I was going to comment about the lume on my GWG1000-1A3, illumination on all hour markers and numerals! 👌
Love my watch!
That was going to be my comment (only a year year late).... the 1000 used is the same as my gg100 in black.. it made me take my 1000 out of temp retirement to look at...😊
Great vid. I have both watches. I use the 1000 day-to-day (it's a rugged beast) and the 2000 for when I'm not working or doing any activity where it may get damaged. I've had other G-Shocks before and have another metal CasiOak now too in the gun metal.
Very nice review as always!
I haven't got either, mine is a GG-1000-1A3DR, so that will do me fine. But of these two I prefer the GWG-1000 . It just has a sleeker look. The style of band is definitely nicer on the 1000 but that's a matter of taste of course. If I had the 1000 already I would stick with it, and if you can get it cheaper than the 2000 it's better value too. However, I do think the lume on the 2000 is more practical and looks better.
Perfect review, good JOB :)
Great comparison. Love them both. Best Gs!
Yes a monster of a watch.
A brilliant comparison.
Well done.
Awesome video man
As a tradesman I love my GWG1000-1A3, I wear it grinding, working with dust and concrete, working on the car, it bashes against walls and metal and is unphased, the saphire protection was the selling point for me, flawless in any environment! The resin has some scuffs but hardly noticeable and that's what it's there for 😉 it also has full numeral and hour marker lume unlike the stealth as many have pointed out here. I like the metal on the GWG2000 but with no extra features, I would buy the GWG1000 any day of the week!
Great review of both watches!
How does the sapphire glass hold up with metalworking. My non sapphire gravitymaster glass is badly scratched due to using it while on the job also as a tradesman.
@@2loco Well, since sapphire is only scratchable by diamond, I'd imagine a watch with Sapphire Glass will hold up well for your line of work.
Wonderful comparison. Thanks. Many differences between them, large & small. What stands out to me is the addition of metal in the bezel, easier to read indices, & a resin keeper which will stay in place better than the previous metal keeper. Like them both, with the 2000 getting the nod.
Great review!I just bought a GWG2000 week ago,but haven't wear it,I'm waiting for the right time and right occasion to wear!
How much is it ?
@@evvlau NT$16900,it’s about US$600
@@NenChang good price.
Not for daily?
Does seem like this was an impulse buy, lol.
It's been year, have you tried the watch yet?
Great comparison, I recently bought the GWG 1000 - 1A3ER and it has a great lume on the hands and markers, and is very legible. The only thing I don't like is the green strap, so I ordered a black one. But in terms of durability and the design of the bezel I think the older model is better, and the crystal is more recessed. But the lcd display and the backlight is better on the new version.
The green version of the GWG 1000 has got Lume on everything
Yes that version beats all. 1000 is King.
I totally agree
Yes, the 1000-1A3
I’ve got the 1000 w/ yellow strap, love the 1000. Love it! I Really want to love the 2000 more, but I’m not seeing a design improvement large enough to justify a purchase. As the features of the watch are the same it’s an ascetic reason (at least for me) to pickup the 2000. However, I do like the resin keeper better then the stainless. Keep up the great videos!
Bro I have the same color and model haven’t taken it off since January…. Amazing timepiece
Gwg1000 is best of the best 💪💪💪😎
Thanks great review on the two models ….
Thanks buddy
I love your vids!
Thanks Brian! I appreciate the feedback
Excelente Comparativa. 👏
My only complaint on the 1000 is the visibility at night and day the 2000 looks much cleaner, and bright
1000 for me. Resin surround is the OG material for G Shock
Wanted to see you compare the crowns to see if the seals are the same.... and if it's easier to screw in and out.... great video tho...
My GWG1000 has a full glowing dial like the gwg2000 you showed. I was very surprised to see yours doesn't.
Same here
he's using the "blackout" version in this video and the lights doesn't illuminates all the numbers. Also as u xan see the numbers are blacked out. It's more of a stealth look..
2000 nice looking watch ⌚ but dose the same as my GWG mudmaster 1000 1A3 I will stick 😀 with my 1000 1A3 great video
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Darren!
For me the GWG 1000 is the original bad boy, looks stunning in my opinion with the green band and black face which I have. The new version has to much going on, the 1000 overall just has more class !
Just bought the GWG 1000 and was thinking I would have buyers remorse at watching this. But no, I like the 1000 better actually. Like I prefer my older 2006 Rolex submariner vs the new submariner. Newer is not always better. Great evaluation of the two though. Thank you.
The gwg-2000 has no Bluetooth.
@@Sinasi08 ah, understood. Not my "cup of tea" (bluetooth on a watch).
@@Sinasi08 Neither does the GWG-1000, which is the right thing to do, because a watch like the Mudmaster isn't supposed to rely on other tech like a smartphone.
thanx for the review Sir..very informative👍👍
I like the 2000, I think the bronze looks class, and the solar panels on the face look lush. 👍🇬🇧
Nice review of both G-shocks watches
Both looks great. I have the gwg-2000 and I love it.
I think that the gwg-1000 is probably mode "military" and more torture resistant 🤣
Specially the front side.
What is the width of the two bands? The 2000 seems narrower. I like the machine knurling on the buttons on the 1000. You forgot to mention the 1000 is cased in Japan while the 2000 is cased in Thailand. Great video comparison. I like the 1000 better. Now do the same comparison with the MTG1000 versus MTG2000.
Me too
Great comparison
You stated that the compass point to " True North" was that a simple mistake?
I thought the compass pointed to "Magnetic North "just like an analog compass
Thank you for this detailed comparison … I don‘t own a Mudmaster yet, but will consider the 2000.
Maybe for your next video you could consider not saying „GWG-1000/2000“ all the time, just „1000/2000“ or even 1st Gen and 2nd Gen would do it as well and wouldn’t sound the same all the time ;) and it would be shorter.
Greetings from Germany,
Sven
The video is already made. I don't think he's going to make the exact same video just to say 1st gen or 2nd gen because you find him naming the watch properly, annoying.
@@RevengeAvenger that’s exactly why I wrote „for your next video“ and not „do it again it’s annoying“. Would have been great if you would have read my comment properly ;)
Gonna get the gwg since i dont have the 1000, the loom is a big flaw for me for the 1000 with none of the hours illuminating it makes it much harder to read at a glance than the 2000 thanks for vid man also if you dont mind how big are your wrists?
It's only the black gwg 1000 that doesn't lume the numbers, that was done on purpose, all the the models lume the numbers too..
@@Blue4Life_?
The GWG 2000 is a business decision to soon replace the old one with an easier to make version. There is no outer protective casing, the strap holder is plain rubber, the knurling on the buttons seems easier to make and the back plate looks really cheap in comparison on the new one.
The 2000 looks fancier with the metal crown exposed and the "forged carbon" parts but the 1000 is a legendary piece and, to me, being totally enclosed in the protective casing makes it a heavier duty tool. Plus it is bigger...
1000 is bigger than 2000 , its true
Why we all want proof of everything so fucking bad
@@9to5Drone Because there a lot of pathological liars on the Internet?
i have both and the 1000 definitely is bigger and rugged looking. if i'm holding both in my hand and have to drop both, i will have more confidence to drop the 1000 but not the 2000 due to the metal parts. Just psychology i guess..
They are both superb watches. If I had the 1000, I wouldn’t upgrade to the 2000 because of the price. But if money was there, I would get the 2000!👍🇬🇧
the differance in weight is more carbon fiber is used in the 2000 then rersin in the 1000. its part of the mold process they can use for carbon fibre 'core guard' now.
Love these watches! Soo much better!
I like the 2000,very nice.
its only that blackout model of the GWG 1000 that has lume on the hands only. All other models have it on the hour indicators also.
New model looks way more slick .
You could even wear this with a suit and tie . More stylish , y'know ?!
Yes and it also loses the tactical look. 👎
@@Nightmareman3 Depends on what you like , I guess .
You might go for the 1000 model then .
The buttons on the 1k look so much better than the circular ridges on the 2k. I've had the GW-A1100 for six years of daily wear but if I had to choose a Mudmaster to replace it, I'd choose the 1k. I have to go through a metal detector at work and having to take the mammoth 2k off to get into work everytime is a no from me. The only thing I feel the 2k wins is the light.
So they are both solar powered and update the time automatically? If so I’ll save money and get the 1000?!
I like the new one, more rounded for my taste
question: does this watch have dual (GMT) time function? In other words, when I travel can I set the digital time on f.i. CET and (when I go to the USA) the analog time on US-time?
Yes sir, use mine all the time, dual time, which shows home time on the display.
I have the 1000 Wild Life Promise 🐆 and I wish to get the 2000 Land-cruise. Otherwise, looking around for a new Master of G collaboration special edition.
I had GWG2000 but I returned it because I was having trouble to adapter with the negative display
Looks like you have the black gwg-1000, the other options have lume on the 12/3/6&9 as well as all hour markers
Does the gwg 2000 have vibration resistance?
I wish the GWG-2000 has positive display and bluetooth connection, and maybe a way to set different light on time, like 3,5,10 sections. i find positive to be more functional as its easier to read.
A Mudmaster having a Bluetooth connection is utterly pointless.
It's meant to be entirely dependable, and not require other tech devices to assist it.
up to date March 2024, the new Mudmaster GWG B1000 is the first to have bluetooth function.
Whilst the 2000 looks lovely, i think the 1000 is more durable. I don't know how well the finish on the carbon fiber and metal bezel would hold up in tough conditions.
the 2000 uses a newer bersion of casios super illuminator led i think. hence the led differance.
I have the ggb100 and it has figure 8 calibration AND 10x more precise barometer. It came out before this one. I am assuming they didn't upgrade this watch with that because it's solar powered and has a screw down.
In Australia, the 2000 is $1399 and the 1000 can be had for $675 if you shop around. Considering they both have the same module I’ll be getting the 1000. I simply can’t justify double the price for the same module in a slightly different box.
The same module is used in some of the Protrek series as well. They're "thinner" and cheaper with just about all the functionality of the Mudmaster. I think Casio knows that Mudmaster is their million dollar baby, but it has aged. All tech becomes paperweight (in terms of price) after a few years of release, so a fresh skin cannot justify the extra AUS 600, unless theyr are completely covered in titanium or something.
I was seriously considering the GWG2000 as an everyday watch but I still can't justify the price. Shop around and you can get both colour variants of the GWG1000 for less than a GWG2000.
@@filp413 I’m hearing ya mate. For me it’ll be the gwg1000 plus a black Seiko Samurai. Same money
1399 that is a lot…
Terry, can you please advise where I can find the gwg1000 in Australia? Thanks bud.
Im using mine gwg2000 for 2 weeks now. It is more comfortable than 1000. 1000 feels heavy
i like the heavy feel
the watches find magnetic north not true north. you need to use the manual and a map for your area that's lists true north correction if you want to adjust it to find tue north. same as you would a regular compass.
Eine sehr gute Erklärung 👍
I'm impartial to which one is better, but to me, the 2000 is better because the dial is more clearly defined, and it has multi 6 band. and carbon.. something case that looks awesome, so im angling towards the 2000 to get.
This guy should of used the GWG-10001A3 then the tide would of turned most definitely but he used the stealth GWG1000-1A1 which the numerals are permanently blacked out as the 1A3 is glowing in the dark just like the 2000 model
@@richardghalayini2666 yeah I looked at the 1000, it's a terrible choice for someone who carries a 50 to 70 pound backpack in a desert everyday, it's way to thick and big to be taken seriously , proteek are the better options imo .
@@desertsurvival8235wear it on the inside of the wrist
These watches should really have a GPS function where it shows the coordinates on the digital display.
Rangeman
No thanks.
Anything with GPS can be tracked. Don’t like wearing that stuff on me
Any good sites with deals on the 2k?
I thought could have done away with the crown by using a combination of different buttons? The crown seems like it might be a weak point?
Good day to everyone
I have a question according mud master 1st gen and 2nd gen as in the video .
As i read in comnents , for example if u have 1st one no any reason to update it to 2nd one .
But if some one no have any of them ,but i want to buy
My questions is , casio has upgrade it . But main question fo they put a new sensor technology? 2nd gen is more accurate? Or only design ???
I have the GWG 2000 . It looks sleek, however, the world cities and most other markings are so small that they cannot be read in even in good light. Not sure if the 1000 has the same problem, but in the video writing seems to be much more legible.
Are you sure your GWG-1000 is authentic? I have one, and in the dark the hour markers all glow like the GWG-2000 in your video.
I have GWG1000 the green version and the lume is on all over the dial including the numbers.
Which is one better buy?
Both are beautiful, but for me GWG 1000 is better
They should have made the numbers on the first watch white! It would look so much better
They do, but this was the blackout edition.
he shouldn't use the black or even worst in this video is the blackout version for comparison.
Как обладатель обеих часов (1000-е уже продал) скажу
Касаемо практичности что
1)1000 казались тяжелее(скатывались немного в бок)
2) больше размером и при надевании или снятии одежды мешались больше
Собственно из-за этих причин и 1000е продал.
Из плюсов можно отметить (мое мнение что все таки 1000е будут по крепче) т.к. удары верхний безель будет гасить лучше + полностью металлический каркас внутри но тем не менее мне дизайн 2000х нравятся больше ,смотриться побогаче.
20:08 I think thats because your 1000 is 1a1 model. my 1a3 luminate 3,6,9,12 and also line between them.
Hi, how much will be the GWG2000 now?
On my green version 12 3 6 9 and all long houers lum. So it's only ur black version thing. 2000 lum houers markers r smaller=dots
The lume in other versions of gwg 1000 is better than gwg 2000
There are different models of the 1000 my loom is on all the hour markers the same of the 2000 if you done a review on the other 1000 I would say its got a better display apart from the digital display.
It seemed there are NO Date and Day functions for these watches?
I was all in on the 1000 until i saw the lume on the 2000. More lume gets me everytime lol.
It's because the OP has the Blackout edition of the GWG-1000, which is intended to have less lume, the normal editions all have comparable lume to the GWG-2000.
Is there an hourly chime function for these watches?
Yes you can either turn it on or off. The only downside to it is it's too shy of an alarm/chime that even if you're in a not-too-noisy environment, the chime is somewhat not noticeable.
@ 8:50 minutes
To answer your question-
I wear the original Mudmaster faithfully- I suppose that rise in the watch band can be used for grip
But it coincides perfectly to my wrist while I wear the watch
The rise in the resin keeps the metal band in place perfectly
You can't tell from your perspective because you have the watches wrapped around the thicker faux leather cylinder
Wear the Mudmaster and you'll quickly see how the rise works in harmony with the metal band
The 2000 doesn't have the metal band
Therfore has no use for the resin rise
In my opinion 🤓
When this was released I bought a GWG 1000 because I really like the design and I wanted to get one before they are discontinued. I’m not keen on the forged carbon and metal parts of the 2000.
They cheapened the appearance and strayed away from the tactical look. 👎
Think they’ll discontinue them?? Glad I got the 1000!
@@ISWIMWITHFISH I guess it’s inevitable that that Casio will discontinue the GWG 1000 because of the new one. I’ve had my eye on one for a long time and purchased when the new one came out and couldn’t be happier it’s not left my wrist in 3 months and I’ve got a large collection of watches.
Casio UK has already confirmed that they won't restock the GWG-1000-1A3ER after all units have been sold.
So it's basically set to be discontinued by them, in the UK at least.
the 2000 is noticably thiner. maybe the thinner mvmt tech from the protrek prw 60 series is being used to make the mudmaster mvmt thinner?
The module is definitely more refined, but in terms of functionality, it's identical to the GWG-1000.
2 Questions: Is the newer model smaller than the 1000 model? I HATE skinny bands. Also can you change out the bands? Love this color combo but HATE the green bands...
I ordered a used 1000 and it actually has a nylon NATO strap. They used something called a "Jay and Kay converter" but I suspect you can find all kinds of converter kits to put different straps on it.
The new one looks so much nicer.
"I don't know why the 2000 looks smaller to the naked eye, its actually larger"
Measures with micrometer = it's smaller in every way 😆
i own both,2000 face is smaller..
The lume on my gwg1000 is the same as the 2000 i dont know why yours is different
Price hike reflex changes! $500 more to be precise in Australia
When casio decides to make a gwg-1000-1a1er exactly as it is but with the lum at numbers of the gwg 2000 and the same led and a step counter we ll have the perfect mudmaster.
Please casio its so easy to think that and please us...
Gwg 2000 exterior bezel is trimmed down which makes it look better
I like gshocks but it's like you got a turtle on your wrist
2000 looks smaller because of the bezel angle that denotes the cities.
Band on the 1000 is a herring bone pattern & 2000 is a chequered plate pattern
2K GWG most likely better negative display 👊
It looks like STN.
I just bought the 1000, and the illumination is not like yours because mine is much brighter, but not quite as bright as your 2000. It seems that you wanted to like the 2000 even before all the comparisons. That's normal because we all think that the newer one should always be an improved model
For me, the negative things on the gwg1000 are....the negative display
and when moving hands out of the way before starting the stopwatch, the hands dont stay out of the way.
Which is one better and no problem best scratch?
?
Casio needs to add more features to the watch, the only thing that Casio changed was the bulk of the Mudmaster......slim it down a bit.....this model is good for new analog Mudmaster buyers and collectors.
You could always buy a Pro Trek.
After doing research on what rugged tough watch I needed for my endurance dirtbike woods racing, I landed on the GWG-2000, but the cheapest I could find one in the color I wanted was just under $700....I found a GWG-1000 for $400 in the same color pictured here. Still prefer the looks of the Gwg2000, but it wasn't worth the price difference. I am EXTREMELY happy with my GWG-1000!!! It has been a fantastic watch. I was worried it would be too big... now it is large, but it's lighter weight than I thought it would be. I still like the GWG2000, but it definitely wasn't worth the price difference
Also, my GWG-1000 is full LUM like the 2000, unlike the 1000 in this video...? I wonder whats different about the 1000 in this video? Maybe his is an older model or something?
@@eastwood4006 It's because the OP has the Blackout edition of the GWG-1000.
I'm not sure why he didn't mention that. 🤷
Actually been wanting to purchase a Mudmaster now for 3 years. I decided to buy it now and get the GWG-1000-1A3ER. The 1000 series is the nicest and by far the best looking model. The 2000 version looks like an oversized plasik toy. It just doesn't look good and it even wares like a toy. I would buy the 1000 series any day. I also prefer the backlight on the 1000 series. It doesn't fry your eyes and it's subtle but illuminates just plenty and perfectly.
1k is made of (literally) plastic (resin) while the 2K is made out of Carbon Fiber and Stainless Steel. Also the 1K wear and IS actually bigger than the 2K. No mentioning the numbers on the 1k dial are oversized and the overall design on the 2k has improved to a more "serious" look. Seems clear which one looks like a toy.
The 2000 does not look more serious át all
How much for the gwg2000? How can I dm you?
