Casio’s dedicated ISO-certified, 200m water-resistant diver, the famous G-SHOCK Frogman might have just undergone its biggest transformation to date.

The Frogman with its asymmetric design which allows for unrestricted wrist movement underwater has been released for 2020 as a new GWF-A1000 series of three.

The GWF-A1000 is the first FROGMAN to feature an analog display. It comes as three striking models - GWF-A1000-1A2 in blue while designation A4 is in red and 1A is in classic black.

So why all of sudden has the Frogman opted for an analog dial? Because, for many for divers an analog face allows you check dive-time at a glance – that’s it.

In addition to the new analog setup, the Frogman is also packed with new watch module and construction advancements.

Its case is made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, which provides both the lightweight properties of resin with a tensile strength similar to metal.

The monocoque design, with seamless integration of the case and case-back, further enhances the robust, lightweight specifications.

The fluoroelastomer band also resists staining and deterioration due to reaction with water, which means this new Frogman can be worn for many years without worry.

In diving mode, the user checks can quickly and easily check dive-time thanks to the new analog dial –
the hour and minute hands overlap and move in unison to form a single hand, making the time spent underwater easy to see and intuitive.

In order to quickly switch the hands from the current time to the elapsed dive time, Casio has developed a new module with three dual coil motors.

The Super Illuminator supports the user even in a dark spot. The watch can also automatically log diving spots and times.

Once it is paired with a smartphone running a dedicated app, the user is able to review a record of their diving activities.

Ever since the series launched all Frogman models (including this) proudly sport the frog icon engraved on their case-back.
The design on the new model features a playful frog with a prominent watch hand, symbolizing its premiere as the first analog model in the series.
