All watches last for years if not used roughly. G-Shocks especially. Most of the models are tough solar features.

My take on the G-9300 Mudman:-
Pros:
- One of THE MOST comfortable G-Shocks I've worn
- Compass/Thermometer features
- The usual G-Shock features i.e. shock resist, water resist etc

Cons:
- Very hard to press button
- The digits are REALLY hard to read for both the models you selected because of its negative display. More often than not it takes me at least 2-3 seconds to tell the time. Why? Because I have to really angle it towards a light source to see the digits. At least 10 seconds to read the moonphase and the small dial on the top left, even with EL switched on!

So yeah, my suggestion is that if you don't really mind the very hard to press buttons, get one that has a normal display. If not, get another model.

Yes I saw other people in the forum also got this problem..
Not really specific function..
I wanted to find a watch that would last me for years..  Those colorful gshock might not be suitable for my daily use.. And since I use stopwatch  quite often, a digital one would suit me better.. And I wanted to have the tough solar features.. 

Initially I like the 8900 series but after trying it I feel it doesn't look nice on my wrist.. Hence I saw the g9300 and feel it looks nice and seems tough.. I engage in outdoor activities quite often.. So I think this might suit me well ..

I guess cost is a factor here.

Furthermore, Protreks are not G-Shocks, sensors are there but not the protection.

Casio Barometer is not useless. Unless you understand the terminology of absolute air pressure, then Casio ABC might work for you. In my many years using Casio barometer model, from the first Sky Force DW-6500 to the current Rangeman GW-9400, not a big issue to me after all. The first thing you need clarify how it's working by observing the barometric history graph. The lower dot of the far right on the screen, the worst weather it will becomes, same as the higher dot, the weather will turned to fair. However, it's also came with one conditions, that you may need to stay permanently at the same location to monitor the current whether.

As Casio is improving it's Barometer models, such as the Protrek PRG-250, PRW-3000 by adding Barometric Pressure Indicator which is a series of arrow to informed you whether condition in past, current and future.

What mostly is that Casio Barometer is for general usage for weather monitoring and not a precision instruments. If you ever need such things, there is some some high model such as Suunto Core/Ambit or Germin Fenix 2 series outdoor watch to meet your need but which the famous "Shock Resistant" technology on G-SHock.

For Gulfmaster is actually a "sandwich" version of Protrek PRW-6000 with G-Shock Technology.

Finally, here is simple rule.

Casio ABC watch = Timekeeping first, Instrumentation secondary.
Suunto/Garmin Fenix/Timex = Instrumentation First, Timekeeping secondary.

Anyone saw this link before? Is this true about WaveCeptor?

Interesting. How much and where did you get your PRW 6000 for? I'm looking to get one of those as well.

I see... I was hoping to get a discount from somewhere. I know that's the normal Marco price.

That's the board price lar, usually even at G Factory, they offer about 10% discount for all Pro Trek watches. But I've been looking at online stores and they do offer a better price. But I dare not buy it without having a look at the goods lar....

Here bro.

Hmm, guess you're right, you did get 20% off. But this is likely not a Marco set. Is there a titanium version?        I didn't manage to find it in their main site.

Oh no, more miscommunication. When I mentioned 'this' (bolded), I actually meant the set sold by Davis. I mean, since it's cheap (or at least I initially thought so), it wouldn't be a Marco set.  Sorry for the ambiguity.

From your explanation, guess I got a lot of wrong info.  Thanks for explaining.  Is the Titanium version out in Malaysia now? Also, would you know if prices will drop in the near future (judging from their past models)?  And if you don't mind, could you please share the shop which you purchased from? Looks like a good deal. 

I see.  Did you manage to check the price of PRG 250 there? That has always been what I wanted to buy (I have stalled my purchase for about 2 years now, lol) until I saw PRW 6000.

And thanks in advance for checking the shop name. Pls do let me know. Is this shop offering the lowest price you manage to find in Malaysia?

Yeah, I agree that for the watch itself, PRW6000 wins in terms of looks. But I really do like titanium....  Have you managed to find the shop name?

Looking for a multi-purpose watch but it seems that there are so many to choose from.

protrek? rangeman? gulfman? frogman? GA1000?

What do you think guys?

tq!

if buy from lelong seller, cannot claim warranty from Marco right?

Btw, previously I aim for Rangeman but end up buying PT PRG-240.

& is it barometer measurement reliable?

Anyone buy from jamcorner (lelong.my) before? Ori or not? Their price quite the same with gpeople but got more variety of g-shock for sale.

Hello Guys,

I'm Kind of New to this. A friend of mine is going to Japan in a month time....is it advisable to ask him to buy me a G-Shock over there and will there be any extra tax to pay when he gets back to Malaysia?
Thank you
