G-Shock Mudmaster GLOVE TEST

by

The gloves are ON for this one! In this video I answer the question everyone one is asking. Well, everyone who wears gloves. Can you press the buttons of the G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000 while wearing gloves?

To answer the question I went through the steps of wearing the G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000, wearing gloves, in this case my impact gloves they issued me at work, which I labeled with my name, Jim, and therefore call “Jimpact gloves,” and attempted to press the buttons while my iPhone, in video camera mode, was perched on the battery box of oilfield equipment and recording said attempts at pressing the buttons.

That entire previous paragraph was actually just one sentence. Recently, I realized that my high school English teacher, though possibly reading this, cannot deduct points anymore for run-on sentences. Thus, I will implement run-on sentences to extend the life of the period button on my keyboard.

Anyways, the Mudmaster did well in the button pressing test.

How to wash the Leatherman Sheath.

by

Before I tell you how to clean the fabric sheath that comes with the Leatherman ARC, let me tell you how I get mine dirty: by rolling around on the ground underneath my truck. I operate oilfield equipment that is mounted on tractor trailer trucks. So when things break down, often they require me to get on my back and shimmy underneath, all the while my belt-mounted Leatherman sheath is collecting oil, grease, grime, and dirt.

How to Clean the Sheath

Chuck it in the washing machine.

Yup. That’s it.

I suggest using dish washing detergent instead of laundry detergent. But that’s just because I’ve gotten better results from dish soap for cleaning really dirty oilfield FR’s than I have with your regular soaps for clothes.

Mudmaster vs. Gravitymaster

by

The G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000 costs $800. The G-Shock Gravitymaster GR-B300 costs $300. What makes the Mudmaster cost $500 more, and is it worth it?

Yes.

$800 says “Premium”

When I unboxed the Mudmaster the first thing I thought was, “Wow.” The attention to detail is evident when you see the GWG-B1000 in person. So it may seem like $800 is a lot to spend, and it is, but the Mudmaster is worth $800.

First, many components of the Mudmaster are crafted from metal. They keep a chiseled shape for these metal parts, which include the bezel, the dogs, and the button shrouds. Some of the case is metal, but some is Carbon Core Guard, which keeps the watch light and more resistant to shocks.

I didn’t even mention it in the video, but the glass is sapphire. So those of you who refuse to wear a watch with mineral glass, which scratches, will appreciate that.

Finally the hands are big and lumed well. Also the Mudmaster is jam packed with features that utilize the ABS sensors and the Bluetooth connected app for GPS information.

Wow. Ok. Now I bet you want to buy a Mudmaster. Click here on this affiliate link to buy a G-Shock GWG-B1000. Like I said. It’s premium.

Which G-Shock wears smaller?

by

Question from YouTube commenter Zlobert: Which G-Shock wears smaller, the DW-6900 or the GD-010?

That’s a good question, so I hit record on my video camera and compared these two G-Shocks!

It’s a 6900, albeit a GW, not DW.

First, it should be noted that I do not own a G-Shock DW-6900, but I do have a GW-6900. What’s the difference between the two? The GW-6900 has Multiband 6 and Tough Solar. So it has additional functionality over the DW-6900, and it costs more.

Since we’re comparing the fit, the additional functions don’t matter. This video is all about the physical dimensions.

By the way, the DW-6900 is a classic G-Shock for the ages. It’s really one of their most popular lines. Buy one for yourself by clicking this affiliate link. It’s a good one to have in your collection.
