— July 4, 2023 — Fashion
The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GW-9500 timepiece has been shown off as the latest version of the iconic Casio accessory that prioritizes a rugged aesthetic with a decidedly slim form to boot. The timepiece measures in at 14.8mm in thickness and is constructed with a bio-based resin case that comes in three color options to choose from. The watch is built with the Carbon Core Guard structure with a stainless steel-protected series of side buttons that also allow for mud and water to easily drain out.

The G-SHOCK Mudmaster GW-9500 timepiece is equipped with a Triple Sensor for tracking temperature, altitude, barometric pressure and even direction to make it great for adventurers. The watch is slated to launch in mid-July in Japan with an eventual launch in the US market expected in the near-future.
