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

Product Information

On the GWFA I see there's a normal hour, minute and second hand, an indicator for power reserve, another indicator for the day and alarm status, a small dial that seems to serve the same purpose of the large one and its own sub-dial(which is honestly the one that offends me the most) and an indicator for. For divers, the app includes a dive log feature, and the ability to add a tide point measurement location.

The watch is made up of an intricate combination of over 70 exterior components, including the O-ring waterproof sealing and buffers that strengthen the shock-resistant structure. The Menu button at 8 o’clock switches between Tide mode, calendar mode, the stopwatch, and the timer. We've minimized the paperwork and maximized protection, so you can stop worrying about your watches and focus on enjoying them. Anyway, it’s very nice that the MR-G logo on the crown faces up perfectly when the crown is screw down.

Recreating the iconic asymmetric Frogman shape in a material as notoriously difficult to machine as titanium was no small task. Case and strap construction are extremely sturdy and while I guess it's possible that in the line of duty, you might do something to the watch to kill it, I've always had the impression of G-Shocks that the owner is likely to expire before the watch and the GWF-D1000B does nothing to alter that impression.

The moonphase and tide indications are going to seem a little abstract if you live inland but I live in New York and ever since Superstorm Sandy, I've been a lot more aware of the tides than I used to be so I enjoyed having a tide indicator. All the titanium is treated with a deep-layer hardening process and a DLC coating to further increase its strength and abrasion resistance and give it that tough, stealthy look. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. Casio passion for refinement, down to the finest details, is evident everywhere in the design, with vibrant blue vapour deposition, an engraved first-generation FROGMAN diving frog character, and more. Enjoy the handsome full-metal form of the MR-G, now with a highly airtight structure delivering ISO 200-metre water resistance.

No small feat from their humble beginnings as the inventor of a cigarette-holding ring in post-WWII Japan that allowed both hands to be kept free for work while continuing to smoke.
