A built-in temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature around the watch and displays it on the LCD, Measuring range: -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F); measuring unit: 0.1°C (0.2°F) We finished with a conversation of comparison between the watch community and the local biking community. We talked about how it’s unlike any communities we’ve been a part of, where the passion guides us and brings us to great like minded people who share that passion and can even give us insight into parts of it that we, ourselves, may have not discovered. We talked about how the watch, or the bike, is not only a tool for our passion, but also gives us a sense of pride, brings us together, or even carries the souls of us for many years to come. Defines us. And will someday hold the stories of a time gone by.

Like the Yeti SP5C Bike, the Casio is made for extreme conditions and abuse. It takes its name from the Mud Resist system of gaskets in the pipes that keep mud and dust out of the watch. While mundane to some, this feature would be paramount to someone who might be on a trail during or after a rain. If you’re not going over the bars, you’ll be hauling your bike at some point, loading into your Honda Element, or making repairs to it. All these things are typically avoided by people in the watch community while wearing a watch. You’re going to encounter dirt or mud in this sport, and Lord knows you might want to sell a watch down the road which is nearly impossible if it’s beaten all to hell.

The Mud Resistant construction helps to ensure that nothing gets into the watch, as the button guard cylinder structure of this model seals out mud and dust. Twin Sensor capabilities provide instant access to direction and temperature information when needed under tough conditions, and Super Auto-LED illumination and Neobrite coating on the watch hands and index ensure an easy to read display when you need it the most Once again, the more complex GWG-1000 is shown – Casio remains far from amazing when it comes to making high-resolution, relevant images accessible.

We’re talking, of course, about the rugged construction that makes this one hell of a durable watch. Features such as their iconic Mud Resist technology that is seamlessly infused into the MUDMASTER’s construction alongside multiple gaskets used on the internal pipes to help guide the watch’s buttons and shafts while keeping dirt and grime out are just some of the key construction features we found incredibly handy in the field. These, combined with an almost tactile strap, will certainly come in handy for anyone consistently placed in hard environments or working in or around heavy machinery. Personally, I like stories about watches that are worn, sometimes for years, and have the wear and tear to prove it. I like stories about watches that have only had one owner. I like stories about watches that are used for their intended purpose. I believe that watches can be so much more than the sum of their parts. I like to believe that they can convey the soul of the wearer and sometimes even carry their story on long after their time.
