Casio & G-Shock's Best of the Week: Two F-91W Takes, a Pro Trek, and a Mudmaster
It seems impossible that Casio is able to roll out as many new watches as it does — and Gear Patrol isn't complaining. Unlike most other brands, where a growing catalog signals a shrinking bank account, the Japanese watchmaker has built its empire on delivering genuinely interesting pieces at prices that don't require a finance plan. The brand's weekly release cadence means there's always something new, and this week's crop is a particularly good one.
Gear Patrol's roundup of the week's favorite Casio and G-Shock announcements highlights several notable pieces, headlined by two new takes on the iconic F-91W. The F-91W is the most famous digital watch in history — the $20 resin legend that has been in continuous production for decades — and Casio has been finding increasingly clever ways to evolve it. The week's new versions continue that project, proving the design has legs well beyond its budget origins.
The roundup also includes a quirky Pro Trek hiking watch and a beautiful G-Shock Mudmaster. The Pro Trek is the outdoor line's answer to backcountry utility — solar power, tough sensors, and tool-watch ergonomics — while the Mudmaster is G-Shock's mud-resistant flagship, built for conditions that would destroy a conventional watch. Both represent different ends of the Casio spectrum, but they share the brand's core philosophy: serious capability at a fraction of the price of Swiss equivalents.
Compared to the luxury watch brands that release a handful of pieces per year, Casio's weekly output is a firehose — and the practical challenge for buyers is separating the highlights from the flood. That's what makes weekly roundups like this one useful: they compress seven days of releases into a short list of what's actually worth attention. For EDC-minded wearers, the through-line is obvious — a tough, affordable digital watch is one of the most dependable pieces of daily carry you can buy.
Casio keeps rolling, and the enthusiasts keep winning.
