Casio G-Shock GWF-1000-1JF Frogman Dive Watch Review

Casio G-Shock GWF-1000-1JF Frogman Dive Watch ReviewWith the Frogman G-Shock, Casio took the idea of a diving visit into a whole new level. Acclaimed as a masterpiece by most clients, the G-Shock Frogman is exactly what every diving enthusiast or professional would desire. From the start, you have to be aware that this really is a huge watch capable of resisting more consequences and water depths than your body may. So if this sounds as what you search for, then read on.

The Frogman includes a fully digital screen split into two parts. At the top, you may observe the moon chart which shows the different moo

The watch includes two very important charts for sailors and everyone that works or lives near the sea/ocean. With all these, you can identify such as when is the propitious time to acquire underwater so as to get your task done, and essentially all actions that imply the need of understanding low and elevated levels of this sea. Both of these graphs work hand in hand because tides are partially made by the gravitational forces of the moon. After the moon graph indicates a complete moon, the gravitational forces of the moon and sun are united, so anticipate high tides to be greater and low tides to be reduced; those tides are known as spring tides. During moon's quarter stages, the difference between low and high tides is smaller and these tides are called neap tides. It may not make sense at first, but if you look the subject rather with images you can understand the phenomenon better. I find these two charts to be quite useful on a divers watch and probably this is among the reasons why the Frogman is indeed valued by lots of individuals.

 Other fine features include the countdown timer that has a measuring unit of one second and a setting range from 1 minute to 24 hours, loud daily alerts which feature 4 daily alarms and one snooze alarmclock, the world time feature with a total of 31 time zones and last but not least the solar charging capacity. Casio is famous for creating high quality self-charging watches as well as the Frogman is no exception. Thanks to the feature you won't have to think about swapping the batteries.

Although the Frogman is a wristwatch which comes closer to perfection that many additional dive watches do, it still has its little flaws. The clasp with the 2 pins which securely closes the band has a sort of design flaw that makes the pointy end of it irritate the skin and the illumination is good but not something to be praised for. Also, I'd have liked to see a depth meter on this watch. Again, these are not major imperfections, but certainly important to note.

It is true, this isn't a really cheap opinion, but considering that the Frogman has some of the best specs available on the market for a divers watch and at precisely the same time is highly resistant and made of quality materials that will last for years then I believe it's worth it.
n phases and beneath is your main display that shows the hour and day of the week by default. Of course, the other features can be accessed using the buttons on either side and they will look on this principal display. The Frogman as numerous other G-Shocks is highly customizable, so you'll just need to get the hang of all these buttons so as to set it as you wish.

Casio G-shock Solid Colors DW-5600BB-1JF Japan Watch Review

Most G-Shock fans understand the DW 5600 really well. The version we are talking about in this review is the DW 5600BB that's different just by its coloring/design from the original version. As you might already know, Japanese versions of G-Shocks are always sort of bizarre, coming with all sorts of different colorings and variants regarding the design. People who need a drop of weirdness and unicity in their own watches always search for them and treat them as collection timepieces. Not to mention that these variations are kind of rare hence retaining value over the years quite well. The all-black layout isn't a joke; even the clasp that's made from metal has been painted to match the rest of the watch. The only thing colored differently is that the backlight that is light blue. Here is the sort of watch it is possible to set once and then never do it but nevertheless an extremely bugging thing about the watch is represented with the rigid buttons for configuratio...
