G-SHOCK Analog Frogman GWF-A1000 Review - The Truth About Watches A review of the venerated G-Shock Frogman, GWF-A1000, in analog form for the first time. Surprisingly comfortable. The Frogman was one of the first models of the Master of G line. The Frogman has an asymmetric shape and is attached eccentrically on its straps. It is specially made as a diving watch for scuba divers and is the only ISO 6425 -compliant G-Shock line with a 200 m Divers rating. The first Frogman model (DW-6300) was released in November 1993. 時尚的功能性手錶絕對不能缺少，但適合自己的功能性手錶「可遇不可求」。. 以下兩款最新G-SHOCK – Frogman系列手錶GWF-A1000XC-1A 及 GWF-A1000C-1A集合功能性和時尚元素於一身，為夏天愛水上活動的你帶來活力，滿足潛水愛好者所需。.

When talking about the ultimate all-digital G-Shock watch, the Frogman is always part of the conversation. It lost some ground recently to the feature-rich and value-minded Rangeman and is now more of a prestige watch than a practical choice, but to many fans it will always be Casio’s flagship G-Shock. The made-in-Japan Frogman has a reputation as one of the best built G-Shock watches and its limited edition models tend to have the most value as collectibles. The Frogman line has a rich history that goes back to the early 1990s. It was always known for being the lone ISO-compliant diving watch in the G-Shock lineup, having a screw-lock case back, and an extra-large, asymmetrical design. Those qualities live on in the GWF-1000 and GF-8250 models with stainless steel replacing the titanium cases of the previous generation, and they also have Tough Solar power, a tide graph, and moon age data. The GWF-1000 adds Multi-Band 6 radio wave timekeeping for the first time and has a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating on the case back for rust and corrosion resistance. The size of the GWF-1000 is x x and the GF-8250 is x x The list price of the GWF-1000 is $700 and the latest GF-8250 model was $530. With the GF-8250 series, Casio seems to be continuing the limited-edition Frogman tradition of the GW-200 series, though on a less frequent basis. While the standard GWF-1000 Frogman looks like it was inspired by 1995’s second-generation DW-8200 Frogman (but goes a lot bigger with the outer resin case), the GF-8250 is more of a direct revival of that model. Like the GWF-1000 it adds size and heft but remains very similar to the DW-8200 with the engraved G-Shock logo on the exposed stainless steel bezel and similar shapes and angles on the resin case. Update: In 2016 Casio released the GWF-D1000 Frogman, which retained a similar design as the GWF-1000 and added a water depth meter, compass, and thermometer. Billed as a Triple Sensor watch, the GWF-D1000 does not have an altimeter/barometer pressure sensor like other Triple Sensor G-Shock and Pro Trek watches. The GWF-D1000 is the largest Frogman yet and measures × × 18 mm. Casio America released the GWFD1000B-1 with a list price of $1,050. While the GWF-1000 appears to still be in production, it looks like the GF-8250 has been retired. Here are all the GWF-1000, GF-8250, and GWF-D1000 Frogman models ever released starting with the most recent. Japanese model numbers are used for consistency though many of the models were released internationally. This page will be updated as more models are released.

Smarter tech has come to the G-Shock and Pro Trek ranges of watches, from the WearOS-powered Pro Trek WSD-F30 and the Pro Trek PRT-B50 to the more recent G-Shock GBD-H1000 Move. Contents DesignG-Shock Connected appButtons and featuresBattery and chargingPrice and availabilityOur takeIs there a better alternative?How long will it last?Should you buy one? Now, Casio has brought its most basic level of connectivity to the Frogman dive-centric watch line with the GWF-A1000. It’s not what I’d call a smartwatch, but it uses Bluetooth tech to make living with the watch easier, while also adding some features relevant to those who may go diving with it. The new Frogman dive watch boasts more than just a tech update. The previously all-digital face has been swapped for an analog face, then wrapped in the brand’s iconic carbon monocoque body. Design Andy Boxall/Digital Trends The GWF-A1000 may have an analog movement, but it’s still obviously a G-Shock Frogman in its design. Those familiar with the range will recognize the trademark asymmetrical style and the frog logo on the case back. The asymmetrical shape stops the case from hitting your wrist when you’re bending it, and makes the buttons easier to press. There are four buttons in total, with only those on the left of the case being immediately obvious. The other two flank the attractively knurled and very grippy crown. With its carbon monocoque construction Casio has been able to remove the button guards found on previous Frogman watches, yet retain the overall strength, while also making the watch much lighter. It weighs 119 grams ( pounds), down from the 141 grams for the previous generation watch. That’s an improvement, but you definitely know it’s on your wrist. For comparison, the heaviest Apple Watch Series 5 weighs still comes in at under 50 grams — or pounds. Try to purposefully damage the Frogman, or any G-Shock really, and you’d probably fail. It’s also really large, with a case size of 56mm and a whopping 19mm thickness. Then again, the size should be no surprise. The Frogman has always been one of G-Shock’s largest and most recognizable watches, and the A1000 is no exception. The thickness alludes to the key G-Shock’s key trait: toughness. The all-in-one carbon case envelopes the movement and technology inside, giving the watch supreme shock protection and an ISO-rated 200-meter water resistance. It’s resistant to magnetic fields and vibrations, and the face is covered with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The thick fluoroelastomer band is secured on the watch by large pins through the carbon/resin case, and is itself resistant to water and dirt. You could try to purposefully damage the Frogman, or any G-Shock really, but you’d probably fail. This wearability, combined with the unique design and useful tech, is what makes me love G-Shock watches. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends The sapphire crystal has superb clarity and a distinctive sheen, plus a very subtle curve to it, adding depth to the face and catching the light beautifully on the wrist. The buttons are large and have a positive action. The screw-down crown takes a little effort to loosen (don’t forget to screw it back up again, otherwise the watch won’t be water resistant), but it’s no problem to do so, even when the watch is on your wrist. How is it on the wrist? You, and everyone else, will know it’s there. This is a statement watch and highly noticeable. The strap isn’t especially pliable, but this hasn’t been a problem as the watch should be worn loosely. I never felt the watch was uncomfortable unless it was underneath a sleeve. Make no mistake, it’s not for skinny wrists. Because of the bulk, it’s best to push your sleeve back when wearing the Frogman. You will have to make a few compromises if you plan to wear the A1000 every day, but then I personally don’t really think it is an everyday watch in the first place. To me, it’s a dive-focused summer watch worn to be shown off. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends The Frogman’s busy, asymmetric design means it’s not for everyone. It’s clearly not for small wrists, for example, but Casio’s switch to analog brings it into line with other popular dive watches from makers like Seiko, and the moderate reduction in weight and bulk means it could appeal to those who are less likely to actually go diving with it. Make no mistake though, it’s not for skinny wrists. I’ve long been a fan of the Frogman’s unusual design, and replacing the digital display with three subdials and a small date window has done nothing to change its visual appeal. G-Shock Connected app The Frogman connects to the G-Shock Connected app on your phone using Bluetooth. It’s well-designed, fast, stable, and provides an easy way to change various features on the watch, in addition to managing dive-specific features. 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. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends Connection is simple to activate with a single button press on the watch. I used the GWF-A1000 connected to an iPhone 11 Pro, but there’s also an app available for Android. Setting the World Time is a great example of how the app speeds up some processes. Tap the World Time tab, select your city, and tap sync. The time is then sent to the Frogman’s subdial, and the complete process takes no time at all. A button tap in the app swaps the world and home times quickly too, which is great for travel. This simplicity of use is repeated when setting alarms and timers. For divers, the app includes a dive log feature, and the ability to add a tide point measurement location. It’s a long button press to put the watch into Dive Mode, at which time the main hour and minute hands move to the 12 o’clock position, and the time swaps to the World Time subdial. Start the dive and the second hand starts, with elapsed total time shown by the main hands, which move together as one for clarity. Bright lume on the hands and on the bezel between the 12 and 20 position make judging time in the dark easy. Stop the dive sequence and the hands return to 12 o’clock, and the second hands goes in reverse to indicate surface interval time. The data from the watch is then saved in the app, complete with location data and the chance to add photos, as well as include information on conditions, depth, temperature, and your gear. Both the dive mode and the dive log are easy to use, even for someone not familiar with dive watches, but you do have to spend a short time learning how it all works. The good news is the app provides comprehensive instructions on how everything works, acting as a digital manual too. The watch doesn’t have a vibrate feature, so there’s no chance of notification support ever being added. This isn’t something I’d really want on the watch, but it’s a shame Casio doesn’t just add an accelerometer and step tracking to all its connected watches. Having this general feature would add value to the GWF-A1000. The connection to the iPhone app is constant unless you disconnect it or fully close the app. While it’s connected, it does activate your phone’s GPS, meaning it’ll draw some battery power. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends While the Frogman doesn’t deliver notifications, have a touchscreen, or run apps, the Bluetooth connection makes using the watch’s functions quicker and easier, while also adding some relevant functionality to increase the watch’s usefulness. It does so with a reliable and easy to use app. Casio shows how many other watch manufacturers looking at building a connected timepiece should be doing things. Buttons and features Andy Boxall/Digital Trends There are four buttons and the crown on the watch itself. The Menu button at 8 o’clock switches between Tide mode, calendar mode, the stopwatch, and the timer. The 3 o’clock subdial shows the watch’s status, and also displays the tide point when it has been set in the app. The buttons are precise and have a hefty feel to them. I like the way you can press a button and the hands move out of the way so you can easily view the two subdials as well. The time can be set through the app, where it’s based on the time on your phone, or through the radio-controlled Multi Band 6 system, where the correct time is wirelessly taken from a series of remote stations around the world at set intervals. In my experience, Multi Band 6 usually requires some patience before it works. It’s dependent on location and signal, making the app the fastest way to adjust the time after changing time zones. The crown can also be used to set the time. I enjoyed the the speed with which the hands move when using special features. They’re fast, so you’re never waiting for them to get out of the way, and nothing feels like it takes too long. 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. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends It’s important to note that although this is a dive watch, it does not have a depth sensor, something the all-digital GWF-D1000 G-Shock Frogman watches have. Whether this makes it less of a dive watch is up for debate and will potentially depend on how serious you are about diving, but it’s arguably in keeping with the design and build alterations, which push the GWF-A1000 toward the watch fan who may never actually go diving at all. Battery and charging Just because the Frogman has a Bluetooth connection doesn’t mean it requires regular charging using a cable. The GWF-A1000 has solar charging and doesn’t require any other power to continue working. Battery level can be checked in the app, and if the battery goes flat, it takes two hours of direct sunlight for it to start operating again, and a further 21 hours until it’s full. Times vary depending on the light source, but the watch will take energy from anything down to fluorescent lighting in the house. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends If your watch is in regular use, it’s unlikely the battery will ever go flat, as it only needs eight minutes of exposure to sunlight to gain enough power for an entire day of use. So if you’re out for a day, the battery is likely to remain full. With the exception of a few trips outside, I’ve been mostly inside while wearing the Frogman for more than a week, and the battery level has not moved from full. Casio states a full battery will last for about five months without seeing any light. Price and availability You can buy the G-Shock GWF-A1000 Frogman now from G-Shock’s online store and boutiques. In the it’s yours for $800. In the it’s 699 British pounds. Our take The GWF-A1000 Frogman uses connected technology in a beneficial manner inside an always-desirable G-Shock watch. Even if you never go diving with it, you’ll still be left with an extremely tough watch that delivers the sought-after dive watch look. However, it’s not a smartwatch, so don’t expect it to compete with the Apple Watch or WearOS watches in terms of connectivity or features. Is there a better alternative? There are very few connected dive watches available. If your list says “dive” and “Bluetooth connection,” then you’ll be looking mostly at the G-Shock GWF-A1000 Frogman. If you’re considering a full-fledged smartwatch though, you can get a more feature-rich model for less money. If you own an iPhone and want a smartwatch, the $400 Apple Watch Series 5 is the one to buy. If you have an Android phone, then we recommend the $280 Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, which has great software and a neat design. If you’re a Casio fan, the $500 Pro Trek WSD-F30 is a tough, outdoorsy WearOS smartwatch, while the $500 Suunto 7 is a high-tech sports-focused WearOS watchthat’s worthy of consideration. If the Frogman appeals but you don’t dive (not that it really matters), similar functionality is available on the G-Shock Mudmaster and the G-Shock Gravitymaster. These have different designs that may suit your lifestyle more. Finally, Fossil makes various hybrid smartwatches that add basic smartwatch features to a watch that looks like a normal watch. How long will it last? Solar charging, no software on the watch that needs updating, no tech like a touchscreen to either go wrong or age the watch prematurely, and the incredible toughness of a G-Shock means the GWF-A1000 will last, well, indefinitely. 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. Should you buy one? Yes. Casio demonstrates that it is possible to blend connected tech with a desirable hybrid timepiece, and that you don’t have to always turn to fashion watches to get it.

W rodzinie niezniszczalnych czasomierzy to pierwszy model z poczwórnym sensorem, dzięki któremu mierzenie głębokości wody, temperatury, ciśnienia atmosferycznego oraz wyznaczanie kierunku, nigdy wcześniej nie było tak precyzyjne. GWF-D1000 wskazuje głębokość do 80m pod wodą z dokładnością aż do 10cm, a temperaturę od -10C do 60C z dokładnością do 0,1C. Kompas jest horyzontalny, co sprawia, że działa również w pozycji pionowej zegarka, a nie wyłącznie w poziomej. Ciekawą i niezwykle istotną funkcją GWF-D1000 jest alarm automatycznie uruchamiający się gdy tylko nurek schodzi pod wodę z szybkością powyżej 10m/min, co pozwala uchronić przed chorobą dekompresyjną. Dzięki wskaźnikowi faz księżyca i pływów, FROGMAN pomoże określić najlepszą porę do nurkowania. Zegarek wyposażono również w pamięć mieszczącą 20 ostatnich pomiarów nurkowania, w skład której wchodzi godzina rozpoczęcia nurkowania, długość nurkowania, maksymalna osiągnięta głębokość wody oraz najniższa jej temperatura. Jak na zegarek do zadań głębinowych przystało, GWF-D1000 ma nie tylko bardzo czytelny, duży cyferblat, ale także znakomite podświetlenie Full-Auto Illuminator, automatycznie włączające się gdy w otoczeniu nie jest dostatecznie jasno. Przy projektowaniu kolekcji, japońscy inżynierowie mocno skupili się także na zewnętrznych aspektach i detalach zegarka. Jak zawsze FROGMAN ma kopertę ze stali szlachetnej, jedynie pokrytą tworzywem sztucznym. Ten zabieg podnosi szczelność, bowiem stal nie rozszerza się pod wpływem ciśnienia panującego na dużych głębokościach, a tym samym nie przepuszcza wody. Dzięki wypełnieniu mechanizmu alfa żelem, który amortyzuje wszelkie uderzenia i drgania, w GWF-D1000 możliwe było zaaplikowanie szafirowego szkła, co stanowi także potwierdzenie klasy zegarka. Kolejną odpowiedzią na potrzeby nurków jest przedłużenie paska, dzięki czemu nowy G-SHOCK bez problemu można założyć nawet na bardzo grubą piankę. Kropką nad „i” jest dekiel z wygrawerowanym symbolem kolekcji FROGMAN ( frog z ang. żaba) – nurkującą żabą. GWF-D1000 posiada również kilka charakterystycznych i typowych dla rodziny G-SHOCK funkcji. Wśród nich jest wstrząsoodoporność, czas światowy, stoper, timer, funkcja drzemki, 5 alarmów dziennych oraz wodoszczelność 200m wraz z zakręcanym deklem. Co więcej, FROGMAN „żywi się” energią słoneczną z wbudowanym wskaźnikiem naładowania baterii. Zadaniem nowego G-SHOCK FROGMAN jest dostarczenie nurkowi dokładnych i precyzyjnych pomiarów, które pozwolą nie tylko na lepsze „eksploatowanie” głębin, ale także na podjęcie szybkich kroków ratunkowych w momencie niebezpieczeństwa. Tym samym, dedykowany podwodnych ekspedycjom zegarek wzbił się na absolutne wyżyny w zakresie perfekcji i profesjonalizmu. Nowa kolekcja zegarków G-SHOCK Frogman to dwa modele: GWF-D1000-1 i GWF-D1000B-1. Zegarki w cenach ok. 5500-6000zł będą dostępne w sieci salonów Time Trend oraz u partnerów handlowych firmy ZIBI w lipcu br. Home » G-Shock » Casio G-Shock GWF-1000-1JF Frogman Dive Watch Review Total Score Packed with all the diving functions, and with a sturdy build, the Frogman has quite a reputation to defend. PROS: Bold and extra-large case with comfortable strap and good fit on the wrist. Lots of useful and reliable features for divers. One of the best diving watches in the price range. July 21, 2022 6:37 pm $ $ out of stock July 21, 2022 6:37 pm July 21, 2022 6:37 pm Last update was on: July 21, 2022 6:37 pm With the Frogman G-Shock, Casio took the idea of a diving watch to a whole new level. Acclaimed as a masterpiece by most customers, the G-Shock Frogman is what every diving enthusiast or even professional would want. From the start, you must be aware that this is a massive watch capable of withstanding more shocks and water depths than your body can. So if this sounds as what you look for, then read on. The Frogman comes with a fully digital display split into two parts. At the top, you can see the moon graph which shows the different moon phases and below is the 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 the sides and they will appear on this main display. The Frogman as many other G-Shocks is highly customizable, so you will just have to get the hang of the buttons in order to set it as you wish. The watch features two very important graphs for divers and everyone that works or lives near the sea/ocean. And here I refer to the Moon Graph and Tide Graph. With these, you can identify for example when is the propitious time to get underwater in order to get your job done, and basically all activities that imply the need of knowing low and high levels of the sea. These two graphs work hand in hand since tides are partly created by the gravitational forces of the moon. When the moon graph shows a full moon, the gravitational forces of the sun and moon are combined, so expect high tides to be higher and low tides to be lower; these tides are called spring tides. During moon’s quarter phases, the difference between high and low tides is smaller and these tides are called neap tides. It may not make sense at first, but if you search the subject preferably with images you can understand the phenomenon better. I find these two graphs to be very useful on a divers watch and probably this is one of the reasons why the Frogman is so appreciated by many people. Other nice features include the countdown timer which has a measuring unit of one second and a setting range from 1 minute to 24 hours, loud daily alarms that feature 4 daily alarms and one snooze alarm, the world time feature with a total of 31 time zones and last but not least the solar charging capability. Casio is well-known for creating high-quality self-charging watches and the Frogman is no exception. Thanks to this feature you won’t have to think about swapping the batteries anymore. Although the Frogman is a watch that comes closer to perfection that many other dive watches do, it still has its small flaws. The clasp with the two pins that securely closes the band has a kind 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 would have liked to see a depth meter on this watch. Again, these are not major imperfections, but definitely important to note. It’s true, this is not a very cheap watch, but considering that the Frogman has some of the best specs on the market for a divers watch and at the same time is highly resistant and made of quality materials that will last for years then I think it is worth it.
