Introducing the first analog models for the FROGMAN Series of MASTER OF G ISO 200 m diver-level water resistant watches. The GWF-A1000 may have an analog movement, but it’s still obviously a G-Shock Frogman in its design.

For divers, the app includes a dive log feature, and the ability to add a tide point measurement location. We’re conditioned to expect devices to react speedily these days, and the GWF-A1000’s triple dual-core motors that control the hands can keep up with our demands. Matching color details of the watch, the G-SHOCK 35 anniversary logo designed by New York City graffiti legend Eric Haze is printed on the strap. This special edition Frogman watch is inspired by the beloved Muppet character Kermit the Frog and features a distinct green color. I feel like Shawshank finally crawled out of the horid tunnel of broken crown tubes, magnetized mainsprings, crooked hands, snapped date platforms and saw the clean skies of not having to give a single rat f**k about doing damage to your watch.Once you get back to the surface, a two-second hold of a button puts you in dive interval mode, which starts measuring your timing between dives; useful if you are going back underwater soon and need to do old-school deco calculations. Thanks to shock resistance and water resistance, a G-Shock watch can handle all sorts of tough conditions – whether that’s bad weather or vigorous exercise. A dedicated dive mode can record dive times, surface interval times, and keep a count of a dive log on your smartphone. It is extremely legible and also has a bright LED light one button away in case things get too dark. When you start the timer with a button press, that newly formed, single hand counts the minutes of dive time around the dial, making it very quick to see how long you have been submerged.

The only aspect which may reach the end of its useful life is the app, should Casio decide to alter the way it connects with its watches in the future. The watch doesn’t have a vibrate feature, so there’s no chance of notification support ever being added. Celebrate two anniversaries in premium style with a limited-edition MR-G FROGMAN that marks the G-SHOCK 40th and the FROGMAN 30th anniversary. The diving frog character familiar to FROGMAN fans is engraved on the case back, inherited from the DW-8200B’s design, and also appears on the LCD when the LED backlight is activated.

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

But time telling wise there is only one display for the time and my eyes quickly learns where to go when I need the time. Watch status display: Graphical display of time-reception status, solar power generation status, internal data update history and more. The last bit of sub-brand history you will need to know to fully get what we are talking about today is that of the MR-G line of G-SHOCK watches. Pure titanium is treated with a deep-layer hardening process, DLC coating and gold-coloured ion plating for even greater strength. Growing up, I was a huge science fiction fan, and one of the things I used to wonder about in my spare time was what you would want to have with you if you invented a time machine, got into the time machine, managed to travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs (everyone nowadays talks about the Jurassic period but I've always been a Cretaceous period fan.

But you'd be tripping balls if you think the new frog will be more durable than the all digital fifth and six gen. To strengthen the shock-resistant structure, fluoro rubber buffers are incorporated into exterior components around the case, helping to absorb shocks as well as to protect the crystal. Three dual-coil motors enable the hour, minute and world time hands to move rapidly so the wearer can switch modes with no delay. Half of that time is complete darkness at night, and I am glad to report that my watch is still on the H level.

I like the way it remembers all other Bluetooth-equipped G-Shock watches too, so there’s no need to perform any additional setup after registering a new model, a feature I would love to see in WearOS. To facilitate connecting the watch with your phone, Casio has the Edifice Connected app, which also has a phone finder feature, but sadly doesn’t have any in-app alarm alteration.Obviously this'd be a great watch for surfers as well (especially if they're recreational scuba divers). The GWF-A1000 Frogman uses connected technology in a beneficial manner inside an always-desirable G-Shock watch. The reverse side of the watch continues the MRG-BF1000R’s fine attention to detail, featuring a titanium, screw-lock caseback adorned with a press-fit sapphire crystal that has a “blue vapour deposition” with an engraving of the first-generation Frogman diving frog character, along with some technical data.
