Pay attention to the wording: CASIO GWG1000-1A3 and GWG1000-1A

 

Ok here are some screen shots, (I have added the colors for clarity and to draw your attention to what might appear as inconsequential wording, however this wording is definitely not without reason.








This is what Casio says from the following link:

MASTER OF G - LAND
MUDMASTER

GWG-1000-1A3

MASTER OF G MUDMASTER This radio solar model from the G-SHOCK MUDMASTER series is intended for extreme on-land use in terrains strewn with rocks, sand, and debris. Features a dust- and mud-proof structure needed for missions in dirt, sand, and mud. A large number of gaskets built into the buttons and shafts prevent mud intrusion. A vibration-resistant structure makes it able to withstand the use of large pieces equipment such as electric cutters or crushers. It is also equipped with a triple sensor that displays information on orientation, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and temperature. High visibility is also ensured via large indices with Arabic numerals, a double LED light, and a wind-proof sapphire glass crystal. The band is textured to resemble the non-slip grip of a piece of heavy machinery, and the extra-thick hour and minutes hands have an arrow feather motif. Checkering is applied to all buttons to improve operability and to provide a finish that exudes a military feel. A G-SHOCK that supports tough men on harsh land missions.


Now for the other model:

NEW MUD RESISTANCE + TRIPLE SENSOR This new MUDMASTER model was created especially for this whose work takes it into areas where piles of rubble, dirt, and debris are present. A special vibration-resistant construction lets them stand up to wear while operating cutters, crushers, drills and other heavy machinery to clear way large obstacles. This is CASIO's first analog watch to come with Mud Resist construction, which helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch when down and dirty work takes you deep into the dirt and sludge. Multiple gaskets are used on the pipes that guide buttons and shafts, which keeps mud out. These pipes not only act to protect buttons from impact, they also enhance button operation. The screw-in force of the screw lock bezel on an internal gasket further increases mud resistance. A new bezel structure lets you visually check whether the bezel has been screwed in adequately. In addition, Triple Sensor Version 3 capabilities provide instant access to direction, barometric pressure, and temperature information when needed under tough conditions. The face of the watch is marked with large Arabian numerals as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock for easy reading. The face is illuminated by a double LED light and protected by a sapphire crystal to ensure high visibility under virtually any conditions imaginable. The band surface is processed to resemble a cloth band texture, and the hour and minute hands are shaped with points that make them resemble warning markers. All buttons have a checkered surface for surer operation, and the overall design is tough and rugged. • Vibration Resistant Structure • Digital compass, barometric pressure/altitude, temperature readings • Double LED light illuminates the face and digital display for outstanding readability. • Screw-in Crown • Multiband 6 (Automatically adjusts time settings based on reception of one of six time calibration signals around the globe: Japan (2), China, United States, England, Germany.) • Tough Solar



Clearly the "Wind-proof sapphire crystal" is a typo, so no need to go ape over this simple typo probably a automatic translation error from Japanese in English.


Both texts say these wathes have dual LED lights however my one? (GWG 1000-1A) seems to only feature one light according to the manual.(no t's not a fake BTW).


Why did i publish this? Well no where does it say on theor promotional materil that these watches can handle the water. Now in the manuals they do state they can resist a pressure of 20 ATM but we all know this is NOT the same as a the wording for a certified DIVE watch waterproof rating. The manuals also say these watches can be used for snorkel diving and that's exactly what I sometimes use mine for as seen in many previous videos on the channel. BUT do not press those buttons under water!
