They found more Mudmen!

by

Good news! They found a pallet of G-Shock Mudmen in the back of the warehouse! Remember how I warned you about the limited supply of GW-9500s? That is no longer the case. What happened?

Here’s how it went down. Maybe not in reality, but certainly in my head: Casio sent an intern out to audit the warehouse inventory. He failed to see an entire pallet of G-Shock Mudmen because someone leaned an empty pallet against it.

Public Service Announcement

Don’t ever lean pallets! If you have empty pallets, stack them safely on the ground.

Mudman in Short Supply

by

Low Stock Alert for the G-Shock Mudman GW-9500-1. As you gentlemen know, the Mudman is my favorite watch. It seems as though the G-Shock factory cannot keep up demand and the G-Shock website is saying there are only 10 Mudmen left in stock!

I strongly suggest going over there and buying the G-Shock Mudman GW-9500 while you still can. Click here on my affiliate link. Buy one of the last ten before it’s too late.

The Plastic Bezel Mudman

What sets this particular Mudman apart from the other variations is its plastic bezel. Recent releases of the Mudman GW-9500 have upgraded bezels made of metal.

Is the metal better?

G-Shocks with BIG Numbers!

by

Who doesn’t love to read his watch? That’s what big numbers are all about: LEGIBILITY! So let’s take a look at some Casios and G-Shocks that I own that have BIG numbers!

CASIO AE-1500

I remember the day I walked into Walmart wearing my G-Shock King, the GWX-56BB. It was big, yet with small numbers on a negative LCD, it was hard to read. I didn’t think Casio could make watches with big numbers. Then I lifted my eyes from the watch I was wearing and gazed at the Casio AE-1500. I read the time from across the store.

I approached the watch, and to my delight, it advertised itself as an extended wrist band watch. Perfect for a big wrister like me.

Flipping the box around I saw its price tag: $21.

You’re dadgum right I bought it! And after wearing it, I have officially declared it the BEST $20 watch!

It costs a little bit more now thanks to inflation, but you can still pick it up for under $25. Go ahead and click this affiliate link to buy your own Casio AE-1500.
