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.
The Results
Like I said, the Mudmaster passed the gloved button pressing test. Each button on the Mudman GWG-B1000 is shrouded in metal. Yes, there is a metal tube all the way around the buttons. This protects the buttons. It also prevents the buttons from accidentally being pressed.
But what about intentional button presses while wearing gloves?
G-Shock designers actually took this into consideration. They gave the buttons a design on the end that results in a raised relief. The little extra button that sticks out past the button shroud is all that you need to activate each button on the Mudmaster, even if you’re wearing gloves.
