CASIO G-Shock FROGMAN GWF-A1000-1A2JF Solar Watch (Japan Domestic Genuine Products)

Product Information

Alright, smarty pants, how about a trip through the washing machine to help rinse off that chlorine? Yet try as it might, my Kenmore was no match for this Casio. The watch emerged clean and functioning perfectly. A Few Warts The screw connection on the base of the housing optimally protects the inner workings of the watch and simultaneously provides easy access, when changing the battery.

Tough Movement contains a hybrid mount construction, an auto hand home position correction function, is Radio Controlled (MB6) and solar powered (Tough Solar)So, is this new Frogman worth its price tag? In the end, that’s a question for individual consumers. There’s a cult following around this nameplate, and it’s not exactly hard to see why. So, the Frogman isn’t for the slight of wrist. But I also get that that’s part of its function and charm, and the titanium and resin case manages to keep the weight down despite its massive footprint. Preset Diving Points: Cayman, Galapagos, Great Barrier Reef, Guam, Hawaii, Mauritius, Maldives, Red Sea, Tahiti When reviewer would personally wear it: When hiking or diving, or as a vivid statement piece alongside a streetwear-inspired outfit. CASIO WATCH+ World Time lets you select from among approximately 300 cities as the World Time City, Displays the current time in major cities and specific areas around the world

Next up was a trip to the swimming pool. I don’t scuba dive (yet), but I was able to successfully test the watch’s dive-time feature while front-crawling through my laps. I followed this with a few dives down to the deep end of the pool. While I hovered above the nine-foot floor, I repeatedly cycled through the Frogman’s functions, starting and stopping timers and working the light. Yet, frogs are slippery creatures. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Frogman for years now, so when Casio agreed to send a loaner of the new GW-8230NT over for testing, I practically croaked with happiness.
