Irene and myself are blessed with three sons and a daughter and like me, all four of them are sports enthusiasts. However, it is our youngest Grace, all of 14 who has taken to extreme sports like a duck takes to water.
Be it rock climbing at Mt Arapiles, Booroomba, Freycinet or Point Perpendicular or, big wave surfing at Byron Bay, Belongil or Shipstern Bluff or camping in the Outback; my girl Grace does it all. In fact, she is so well recognized in the Australian college and university circuit, that she has also began making a vee bit of money in sponsor fees.
Her extreme sports also have had its fair share of injuries, sprains, upset stomach (bad water), lost and broken gear that includes 6 broken watches. Sometimes just cycling on unpaved mountain side is enough to break down a chrono watch.
With her 15thbirthday coming up this weekend, and at the recommendation of the boys, I decided to buy her a G-Shock watch. Casio is still the recommended brand. I say “still” because not so long ago, I used to use a Casio G-Shock myself – a watch that not only performed exceedingly well but probably also saved my life when a Costal Taipan bit me or rather, bit the watch. Had it struck anywhere else on my arm; I might not have been alive to write this blog.
Anyway, Noah my eldest, recommended I go for the Casio G-Shock GWG-1000-1A1 Mud Master Triple Sensor 200M Men’s Watch. Yup, men’s watch because he said the models available in the women’s section aren’t up to the mark. Besides, the Casio G-Shock GWG-1000-1A1 Mud Master Triple Sensor 200M Men’s Watch would actually fit her muscular wrist quite well.
The watch is huge and almost 6 cm across. Very large luminous digits and hands make it easy to read the time even in pitch blackness but should you need it, there is also double LED lighting. The watch itself is made in black resin (strap) and stainless-steel case. It has a scratch resistant tough, Sapphire crystal and the case is shock, mud and water resistant.
The Casio G-Shock GWG-1000-1A1 Mud Master Triple Sensor 200M Men’s Watch is definitely a premium multi-function watch that can handle most extreme conditions and still include basic technological features such as altitude information, temperature readings, compass and multiband 6.
For those not aware, multiband 6 is a feature that automatically adjusts time settings based on reception of Casio’s radio towers located in Japan, China, United States, England, and Germany.
The buttons on the watch are quite large which makes it easy to use even when wearing gloves. I loved the fact that Casio provides all the information on the dial itself. The lower-left button opens a list of the functions on the watch’s LED strip. These functions include the timer, stopwatch, alarm, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc.
So, if you need a really tough watch, there’s none better than the Casio G-Shock GWG-1000-1A1 Mud Master Triple Sensor 200M Men’s Watch and there’s no site that offers a better price thanhttps://www.downunderwatches.com/.

In response to your request for a review on my purchase from DOWNUNDERWATCHES I can say the following, I address myself for this particular watches to DOWNUNDERWATCHES since they claim to be Australia's premier online watches store. This particular model is not available in store in Australia, not that I know off, therefore the advertised Australia's premier online watch store induce me to believe that the item was available in Australia but only from online orders. It turn out not to be so but from Singapore apparently. So, the claim that delivery is made within three days turn out to be three weeks. This detail should be indicated clearly to people in Australia. Other than that the delivery was made by DHL and the watch received in good condition some ten days latter. The watch is exactly as I expected it would be, well packaged, no complaint whatsoever to make about it. It would be better for the retailer to indicate that the delivery to Australia will required two weeks instead of saying next to day of dispatching leaving the impression that the goods is from an Australian distributor which physically it is not. Orient watches are not well represented in Australia by retailers if not at all. Seiko dominates the market amongst other brand. Orient is no more made in Japan as it was in the past, the factory with the name Epson is now in Thailand, the product is still of high quality and genuine as it has been expected from the original manufacturer in previous years from Japan. Epson has absorbed the brand name Orient which remains nevertheless a high quality product originally exclusively from Japan. Orient watches are of high quality until today.
Hi Patrice,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad the watch arrived in good condition and met your expectations. We also appreciate your notes about delivery times and origins—this helps us improve how we communicate shipping details for our Australian customers.
The watch was as good as I expected, being refurbished and works accurately with minor blemishes. "Downunderwatches" is Singapore based, so I was surprised to have to pay additional fees for the foreign import.
Hi Herman,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the watch is working well and meets your expectations. We understand the surprise with the import fees and appreciate your understanding regarding international shipping.
