Mudman Watch is Housework Proof! (2008-07-05)
I am a professional housekeeper. So in any given day, I may be changing diapers, scrubbing floors, doing laundry, etc. Also, I garden in my spare time and groom my own poodles. I need a watch that I can put on and forget about. The Mudman is certainly kid proof and dog proof and housework proof. Also, the various count up and count down timers are very useful. The programming buttons are a bit stiff, but that way you can't push them accidentally. I like the fact that there are four alarms and that the count down timer is programmable. This is not just a watch for sportsman, it is a watch for anyone who has their hands in soap, water, dirt, pet hair and CHAOS all day long.

G-Shock Mudman - The "go to" watch (2008-07-04)
The G-shock- The "Jack" of watches. The Mudman is the my go to watch. It's not as loud as the Breitling and not as pedestrian as the Timex Iron man. It's rugged size and solid build quality suggests that the wearer is serious about his time piece, but is not bogged down with special features. At one time the case size would have been thought of as big, but now I consider it just about right. Read the substantial owners manual, set it - then never have to worry about it again. Battery life is of some concern - only an authorized Casio watchsmith is supposed to replace the water-tight battery compartment - and the depth rating all G-shocks is a little lofty. The mudman stood up easily to a dirty overseas deployment - but I would not snorkel with one.

To be fair it may just be me, but it was really uncomfortable. (2008-07-03)
It was uncomfortable to wear. The fit was completely unrefined. In fact I went with my original instinct (i was going to buy the GW 5600-J originally but didn't want to wait, but I found out it wouldn't take as long to get it). The GW 5600-J is a much more comfortable watch (it is still a gshock and they are not the most comfortable ones for sure but offer many functions, rugged durability, and cool looks.

Back to the mudman:

It has these nubs on the back of the piece that are hard plastic -- totally uncomfortable compared to a normal flat back, I see no advantage except maybe they don't case as much sweat or something. But even still totally not worth it. I returned this watch and got a GW5600-J. I would recommend anything other than the mudman for a classic gshock fit.

Casio Men's G-Shock Mudman Digital (2008-06-23)
Bought this G-Shock as a present for my husband for fathers day and he absolutely loved it. He's had a few and he said this one does the job for what he needs.
