Best review. Accounted for every aspect. Don’t waste your time on other vids they’re just for show.

The GWG1000-1A1 that you are using in this video is the blackout edition and that is the reason why it doesn’t have the same illumination as the other one. You should have used the GWG1000-1A3..

GWG-2000: Better materials (SS bezel; forged carbon bumpers; CC guard; SS crown); better digital display; much better illumination; thinner; lighter; improved buttons and crown; larger solar panel area. If you have a GWG-1000 already, probably, not worthy to upgrade. If you don't, it makes sense to get the GWG-2000, specially if you can get it at less than MSRP.

The gwg 1000 black model that your using for this comparison to compare the illumination is the only one that doesn't have the numbers illuminate, all the other gwg1000 illuminate all the numbers just like the gwg2000 , they made the black version gwg1000 that your using like that on purpose, they toned everything down for a more formal look, get another gwg1000 model and you'll see what I'm talking about, this black version has a function that you can program to automatically light up the L.E.D. when you tilt the watch at an angle to look at the watch at night time in the dark, this function illuminates the watch better than just the glow in the dark function, this function might work for all other models , but not sure, I know for sure this function is equipped with the black version because I own one.... you did an awesome job on this video, kudos to you 👏

Great vid. I have both watches. I use the 1000 day-to-day (it's a rugged beast) and the 2000 for when I'm not working or doing any activity where it may get damaged. I've had other G-Shocks before and have another metal CasiOak now too in the gun metal.

The green version of the GWG 1000 has got Lume on everything

This is the best review of these watches I found on YT. Thanks

I haven't got either, mine is a GG-1000-1A3DR, so that will do me fine. But of these two I prefer the GWG-1000 . It just has a sleeker look. The style of band is definitely nicer on the 1000 but that's a matter of taste of course. If I had the 1000 already I would stick with it, and if you can get it cheaper than the 2000 it's better value too. However, I do think the lume on the 2000 is more practical and looks better.

I’ve got the 1000 w/ yellow strap, love the 1000. Love it! I Really want to love the 2000 more, but I’m not seeing a design improvement large enough to justify a purchase. As the features of the watch are the same it’s an ascetic reason (at least for me) to pickup the 2000. However, I do like the resin keeper better then the stainless. Keep up the great videos!

Wonderful comparison. Thanks. Many differences between them, large & small. What stands out to me is the addition of metal in the bezel, easier to read indices, & a resin keeper which will stay in place better than the previous metal keeper. Like them both, with the 2000 getting the nod.

My GWG1000 has a full glowing dial like the gwg2000 you showed. I was very surprised to see yours doesn't.

As a tradesman I love my GWG1000-1A3, I wear it grinding, working with dust and concrete, working on the car, it bashes against walls and metal and is unphased, the saphire protection was the selling point for me, flawless in any environment! The resin has some scuffs but hardly noticeable and that's what it's there for 😉 it also has full numeral and hour marker lume unlike the stealth as many have pointed out here. I like the metal on the GWG2000 but with no extra features, I would buy the GWG1000 any day of the week! Great review of both watches!

1000 for me. Resin surround is the OG material for G Shock

Great review!I just bought a GWG2000 week ago,but haven't wear it,I'm waiting for the right time and right occasion to wear!

Thank you for a very informative video! I'll place an order tomorrow ☺️

Excellent companion video! Great to see the differences, even if there are not many.

Both looks great. I have the gwg-2000 and I love it. I think that the gwg-1000 is probably mode "military" and more torture resistant 🤣 Specially the front side.

I like the 2000, I think the bronze looks class, and the solar panels on the face look lush. 👍🇬🇧

New model looks way more slick . You could even wear this with a suit and tie . More stylish , y'know ?!

Great comparison. Love them both. Best Gs!

My only complaint on the 1000 is the visibility at night and day the 2000 looks much cleaner, and bright

Just bought the GWG 1000 and was thinking I would have buyers remorse at watching this. But no, I like the 1000 better actually. Like I prefer my older 2006 Rolex submariner vs the new submariner. Newer is not always better. Great evaluation of the two though. Thank you.

For me the GWG 1000 is the original bad boy, looks stunning in my opinion with the green band and black face which I have. The new version has to much going on, the 1000 overall just has more class !

Great comparison, I recently bought the GWG 1000 - 1A3ER and it has a great lume on the hands and markers, and is very legible. The only thing I don't like is the green strap, so I ordered a black one. But in terms of durability and the design of the bezel I think the older model is better, and the crystal is more recessed. But the lcd display and the backlight is better on the new version.

The GWG 2000 is a business decision to soon replace the old one with an easier to make version. There is no outer protective casing, the strap holder is plain rubber, the knurling on the buttons seems easier to make and the back plate looks really cheap in comparison on the new one. The 2000 looks fancier with the metal crown exposed and the "forged carbon" parts but the 1000 is a legendary piece and, to me, being totally enclosed in the protective casing makes it a heavier duty tool. Plus it is bigger...

Dude. Please stop using metal measuring calibers on those plastic watches or even metal watches, it’s scratching them up…buy plastic calipers or put you some scotch tape on the metal edges.

I have both. The 2000 is so much more comfortable on the wrist. It's my favourite.

In Australia, the 2000 is $1399 and the 1000 can be had for $675 if you shop around. Considering they both have the same module I’ll be getting the 1000. I simply can’t justify double the price for the same module in a slightly different box.

They are both superb watches. If I had the 1000, I wouldn’t upgrade to the 2000 because of the price. But if money was there, I would get the 2000!👍🇬🇧

So they are both solar powered and update the time automatically? If so I’ll save money and get the 1000?!

Whilst the 2000 looks lovely, i think the 1000 is more durable. I don't know how well the finish on the carbon fiber and metal bezel would hold up in tough conditions.

I like the new one, more rounded for my taste

I like the 2000,very nice.

The buttons on the 1k look so much better than the circular ridges on the 2k. I've had the GW-A1100 for six years of daily wear but if I had to choose a Mudmaster to replace it, I'd choose the 1k. I have to go through a metal detector at work and having to take the mammoth 2k off to get into work everytime is a no from me. The only thing I feel the 2k wins is the light.

"I don't know why the 2000 looks smaller to the naked eye, its actually larger" Measures with micrometer = it's smaller in every way 😆

Am I the only one that thinks the older gwg1000 looks better than the gwg2000 aesthetically?

I was all in on the 1000 until i saw the lume on the 2000. More lume gets me everytime lol.

2000 nice looking watch ⌚ but dose the same as my GWG mudmaster 1000 1A3 I will stick 😀 with my 1000 1A3 great video

Great comparison You stated that the compass point to " True North" was that a simple mistake? I thought the compass pointed to "Magnetic North "just like an analog compass

Both are beautiful, but for me GWG 1000 is better

What is the width of the two bands? The 2000 seems narrower. I like the machine knurling on the buttons on the 1000. You forgot to mention the 1000 is cased in Japan while the 2000 is cased in Thailand. Great video comparison. I like the 1000 better. Now do the same comparison with the MTG1000 versus MTG2000.

These watches should really have a GPS function where it shows the coordinates on the digital display.

I wish the GWG-2000 has positive display and bluetooth connection, and maybe a way to set different light on time, like 3,5,10 sections. i find positive to be more functional as its easier to read.

Sticking with my GWG 1000 don’t see any reason to change.

Thank you for this detailed comparison … I don‘t own a Mudmaster yet, but will consider the 2000. Maybe for your next video you could consider not saying „GWG-1000/2000“ all the time, just „1000/2000“ or even 1st Gen and 2nd Gen would do it as well and wouldn’t sound the same all the time ;) and it would be shorter. Greetings from Germany, Sven

Are you sure your GWG-1000 is authentic? I have one, and in the dark the hour markers all glow like the GWG-2000 in your video.

its only that blackout model of the GWG 1000 that has lume on the hands only. All other models have it on the hour indicators also.

I have the GWG 2000 . It looks sleek, however, the world cities and most other markings are so small that they cannot be read in even in good light. Not sure if the 1000 has the same problem, but in the video writing seems to be much more legible.

Actually been wanting to purchase a Mudmaster now for 3 years. I decided to buy it now and get the GWG-1000-1A3ER. The 1000 series is the nicest and by far the best looking model. The 2000 version looks like an oversized plasik toy. It just doesn't look good and it even wares like a toy. I would buy the 1000 series any day. I also prefer the backlight on the 1000 series. It doesn't fry your eyes and it's subtle but illuminates just plenty and perfectly.

Excelente Comparativa. 👏

A brilliant comparison. Well done.

the 2000 uses a newer bersion of casios super illuminator led i think. hence the led differance.

Perfect review, good JOB :)

Im using mine gwg2000 for 2 weeks now. It is more comfortable than 1000. 1000 feels heavy

I had GWG2000 but I returned it because I was having trouble to adapter with the negative display

The new one looks so much nicer.

I'm impartial to which one is better, but to me, the 2000 is better because the dial is more clearly defined, and it has multi 6 band. and carbon.. something case that looks awesome, so im angling towards the 2000 to get.

Both watches sync at the same time because they have the exact same module dude

the watches find magnetic north not true north. you need to use the manual and a map for your area that's lists true north correction if you want to adjust it to find tue north. same as you would a regular compass.

Thanks great review on the two models ….

Gwg 2000 exterior bezel is trimmed down which makes it look better I like gshocks but it's like you got a turtle on your wrist

On my green version 12 3 6 9 and all long houers lum. So it's only ur black version thing. 2000 lum houers markers r smaller=dots

For me, the negative things on the gwg1000 are....the negative display and when moving hands out of the way before starting the stopwatch, the hands dont stay out of the way.

GWG 2000 is better, because: The GWG 2000 model contains a Forged Carbon part, especially the fenders (around the numbers 12 and 6, which are the most vulnerable to damage) and fairings that give it a Premium look, and is also the first G Shock to use a Forged Carbon part. The GWG 2000 also has improved vibration resistance, then the GWG 2000 model has a reinforced case with carbon fibers (Carbon Core Guard), it is more comfortable in the hand because it is smaller and lighter than the GWG 1000 model (because of the carbon). GWG 2000 have better Lume, better Illumination and another advantage of the GWG 2000 model is LED lighting, which is much brighter than on the GWG 1000. GWG 2000 have imporeved crown and buttons.GWG 2000 have better materials: Forged Carbon, SS,CCG vs plastic on GWG 1000.

2000 looks smaller because of the bezel angle that denotes the cities.

Band on the 1000 is a herring bone pattern & 2000 is a chequered plate pattern

When this was released I bought a GWG 1000 because I really like the design and I wanted to get one before they are discontinued. I’m not keen on the forged carbon and metal parts of the 2000.

Looks like you have the black gwg-1000, the other options have lume on the 12/3/6&9 as well as all hour markers

They should have made the numbers on the first watch white! It would look so much better

For anyone considering the 2000 just be warned those forged carbon bezel scratch really easily

Very nice review as always!

Как обладатель обеих часов (1000-е уже продал) скажу Касаемо практичности что 1)1000 казались тяжелее(скатывались немного в бок) 2) больше размером и при надевании или снятии одежды мешались больше Собственно из-за этих причин и 1000е продал. Из плюсов можно отметить (мое мнение что все таки 1000е будут по крепче) т.к. удары верхний безель будет гасить лучше + полностью металлический каркас внутри но тем не менее мне дизайн 2000х нравятся больше ,смотриться побогаче.

I love your vids!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

My G-Shock Frogman , broke down on me after 7 months only. Casio Customer service horrible, they sent me the GWG-2000, and had a retail price of 800$ on the tag. I called them back and told me they sent garbage to me compared to the 1100$ frogman i just had recently purchased. Customer service said that the frogman was on backorder and i would have to wait 6-8 months for my new one to come in. G-SHOCK Watches are freaking awesome in the water and on jobs, but customer service is horrible. We're talking like 45 minute hold times and they said they couldn't locate a Frogman for me, which is bull crap. They just didnt want to give me a new one... Im going up the ladder on this one , pissed off. 😤

the differance in weight is more carbon fiber is used in the 2000 then rersin in the 1000. its part of the mold process they can use for carbon fibre 'core guard' now.

Gonna get the gwg since i dont have the 1000, the loom is a big flaw for me for the 1000 with none of the hours illuminating it makes it much harder to read at a glance than the 2000 thanks for vid man also if you dont mind how big are your wrists?

The improvements made to this new version would make it cost around $600 but over $700 is kind of pricey for what it offers.

20:08 I think thats because your 1000 is 1a1 model. my 1a3 luminate 3,6,9,12 and also line between them.

Does the gwg 2000 have vibration resistance?

Wanted to see you compare the crowns to see if the seals are the same.... and if it's easier to screw in and out.... great video tho...

Nice review of both G-shocks watches

Love these watches! Soo much better!

There are different models of the 1000 my loom is on all the hour markers the same of the 2000 if you done a review on the other 1000 I would say its got a better display apart from the digital display.

Awesome video man

2K GWG most likely better negative display 👊 It looks like STN.

The lume on my gwg1000 is the same as the 2000 i dont know why yours is different

Bro why does it sound like you are trying to promote the gwg 2000 for Casio 🤣🤣. Why it looks smaller ? It’s way thinner that’s why it looks smaller.. I am sorry but I want the mud master to look rugged, not neat, I love how the triple sensor looks on gwg1000, sorry but look of the watch was one of the main buying points for me. Honestly I am glad this is how the 2000 looks cause it means I am going to appreciate the 1000 for many more years to come.

I have the 1000 Wild Life Promise 🐆 and I wish to get the 2000 Land-cruise. Otherwise, looking around for a new Master of G collaboration special edition.

I just bought the 1000, and the illumination is not like yours because mine is much brighter, but not quite as bright as your 2000. It seems that you wanted to like the 2000 even before all the comparisons. That's normal because we all think that the newer one should always be an improved model

GWG2000 my love,

question: does this watch have dual (GMT) time function? In other words, when I travel can I set the digital time on f.i. CET and (when I go to the USA) the analog time on US-time?

thanx for the review Sir..very informative👍👍

I have the gwg1000 with the green band and my numbers, hour markers, minute, hour, and second hand all have great lume at night. Not sure why you model is lacking that feature.

for me the gwg 1000 is better, it is more crude, it is from the front line, it is an assault, the 2000 is a bit of an "officer" of those who give orders to those who make others do the dirty work.

GWG 1000 HAS A GOOD LOOM thats counterfactual

What an exhausting review. “GWG” 10 times every 30 seconds.

Which is one better buy?

I own both. There is a reason they upgraded to the 2000. To sum it up: Better in every way!

After doing research on what rugged tough watch I needed for my endurance dirtbike woods racing, I landed on the GWG-2000, but the cheapest I could find one in the color I wanted was just under $700....I found a GWG-1000 for $400 in the same color pictured here. Still prefer the looks of the Gwg2000, but it wasn't worth the price difference. I am EXTREMELY happy with my GWG-1000!!! It has been a fantastic watch. I was worried it would be too big... now it is large, but it's lighter weight than I thought it would be. I still like the GWG2000, but it definitely wasn't worth the price difference
