Average Rating : 
Rating :  - Great build quality and features, painful to wear though
This watch has alot of wonderful features on it, and infact it does appear to be built very tough. The materials used are all seemingly great quality, and the watch face itself is well done and looks nice.
The problem I noticed immediately upon wearing the watch though was that it hurt, alot. Upon closer inspection, the bottom of the watch has these small plastic-like bumps that rise out from the center. I guess the purpose of these is probably to ensure the watch grips your arm and doesn't move around a whole lot, and it does it's job well - a bit too well. Trying to make minor adjustments to the watch's position on my arm is rather painful, as these bumps rub against your skin. After having worn it for ~12 hours a day for 2 days now, I have visible red marks on my arm where these bumps rested.
Another issue I have with the watch is its buttons. With my previous Casio watch, it was extremely easy to navigate the watch's various displays, the buttons clicked easily and were simple to access. The Mudman's buttons however are mostly flat, and don't come too far out from the watch. Trying to push them requires a bit of effort. It's definitely not the show stopper like my previous concern with the comfort, but it is rather annoying.
I really wanted to like this watch, but the comfort is a huge disappointment, and because of it I'll probably have to send it back and resort to my older Casio.
