There aren’t too many gifts that can beat a nice watch and if you’re looking to gift the construction or trades professional in your life with a tough timepiece, look no further than Casio’s Mudmaster GG-1000-1A3 G-Shock.
In my time testing this watch I got several compliments for its look. It’s a striking, masculine watch that can survive just about any type of beating you can throw at it:
- Shock Resistant thanks to a gel-surrounded timekeeping module
- Mud Resistant – Buttons use cylinder type guard structure with gaskets for shafts and cylinders to prevent mud and dust from getting into the watch
- Extremely durable watch face thanks to Sapphire Crystal
- 200M Water Resistant
- 2-year battery life
You can read my full review of this watch here, but in short, I found it comfortable, intuitive, easy to read and rugged. The Mudmaster retails for $320 but can be had on Amazon for around $260.
