With this new Casio G-Shock Frogman GWF 1000-1 version, the iconic Frogman -the model that was created specifically for scuba diving- has received a major facelift. Needless to say, being a part of the G-Shock family, the upgrade was not restricted to only looks like it is virtually always the case with dressier Submariners and hundreds of wannabes. The main change is concealed beneath the timekeeper's resin-clad outer shell.
Like the sporty G-Shock GIEZ GS1300B-1A chronograph and the gorgeous in its own industrial way MTG1100-1A wristwatch, the fifth-generation Frogman GWF1000-1 has finally received Casio’s new Self-Adjusting Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping Technology.
At exactly measured intervals, the diving companion receives time stamps out of among the above radio stations and compares it against its own time adjusting numbers on the LCD display, so to speak, on the fly.
Of course, the watch nonetheless keeps its 200 meters thickness evaluation, a tiny photovoltaic panel which recharges its battery, dive time dimension style, four daily alarms, electronic chronograph and these sorts of things. The water resistance rating does not make it a true diving companion, however if you are looking for a time measuring device to use for swimming and some simple snorkeling, then you are good.
Inspired from the pictures (and past experience with other members of this expanding G-Shock family,) I can assume that each of the functions will be operated easily and intuitively. And if you for some reason lack in the intuition section, there are enormous inscriptions near every push-piece that tell which one does everything.
In the United States, the watch can be found at a cost of $700. At a first glance, the piece seems a tiny bit overpriced (always associating G-Shock line with entry level models, it's difficult to fathom how one of these toy-like pieces may cost seven hundred bucks), but in reality the list of purposes and bullet-proof design makes this one a real deal particularly for people who are into this type of layout terminology.
However, before ordering this watch, take into account the fact that this is a diver, that is styled after specialist diving machines, and those are seldom tiny. This specific specimen, by way of example, is whopping 58.30 millimeters in diameter and 18 millimeters large, which seriously restrict the selection of apparel you may use it with.
So, if you plan to find this watch simply to show-off, you'd better find something different. But if diving is actually in mind, then the size of this gadget should not be a problem and the many purposes it sports make it a nearly ideal diving companion to get a severe "frogman."
