nice watch! but it's to much money not have any special fetures. i have a few g-shocks with plenty of fetures and cost much less money. the price went up on this model because casio discontinued this model. the g-shock frogman is a really nice watch but to much money. I still have to get one for my collection though!
I bought a new Frogman in 2006 for $180 on Ebay which was about the going price at that time. Thought that was a lot. The price of this watch now is crazy. The watch is solar but no special features. I will say if you don't lose it, it lasts a long time 6 years and I replaced the watch band last month.
I would love to have a watch like this. I am a big G-shock fan, I actually had the first edition of it in 1993. Too bad I don't have it anymore or I would be rich right now. I had some models of the G-Shocks but now I own the Golfman blue G-9100-2JF I just got it but I am in Brazil so here we pay a LOT for it. Actually I paid around U$ 350.00 for mine. For me to have one Frogman like that I will have to sell a arm and a leg. If I find it here it will cost me around U$ 1.200,00 : (
Hey doug, I bought my GW225 after watching your review 10 times. Your review really helped. I was wondering if you are planning to review one of the new frogmans..
Hey Doug, in your unboxing/review videos, your G-Shocks come in a tin can. I am looking to buy my 1st G-shock, and was wondering if a G-shock doesn't come in a tin can, is it a fake? because i seen lots of other videos when they just come in a box just let me know guys thanks.
Nice review! Thanks for this video! I am the the proud owner of the Final Frogman, GW-200Z. Hopefully you will post review of the new Frogman, GWF-1000.
Nice review Doug! There is a puzzling bit that I still don't quite understand, most or all G-Shocks are water resistant up to 200 meters and so's the Frogman, so what makes it particularly special? The ISO rating it has? Or some other internal component that's unique to the Frogman?
im right handed and i wear all watches on my right wrist, is this normal? my friends argue that right handed people wear it on the left and vice versa, also if the watch is not solar powered, i wear it upside down
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol why do you guys think this watch is so sick- who the f needs a cheesy plastic watch these days to begin with? Marketing consultants at casio are doing a great job
Great video Doug! Aint had a G-Shock for 10yrs. Lost my last one in work! So i Wanted to pick up a new G-Shock, so went on Youtube and came across your review! Never heared of the Frogman....like i said, i aint had one in 10yrs! So i've just received my G-Shock Glorious Gold GW-225E-7DR This thing is better than anything i've seen! Couple of mates wear Rolex, Tag and other exotic watches......This wins hands down!!!! Thanks for the review!!!
I want a FrogMan more then anything, And I would rather have a Frogman then lets say A val7750 or any other high end Swiss watch. I just saw the new Frogman models and I have to admit even though their expensive, They look really cool. How do u feel about the new Frogman models?
It's the second video I watch in which the man wears the watch in his right hand. Do all the people in the United States wear the watch in the right hand? In Europe we wear it in the left hand (I'm not sure for England). I guess it's like the cars, while in England the navigator is on the right, in other countries it's on the left of the car.
it's not a matter of where you live. It's a matter of preference and whether you're right or left handed. Right handed people tend to have the watch on the left hand and vice versa.
i dont think the solar cell will run out of juice but u gotta research these things, they say that theres a battery in there too which you should change after 5 or so years
Do you know when the new atomic/solar frogman with moon graph and tide graph will come out? Are you going to get it? I believe the price will be way over $500.
I have a question, I'm about to retire my G Shock G100-1BV. Now I'm an infantrymen and this watch I have now has survived a 13 month deployment in all situations with heat, cold etc. Any reccomendations on a tough watch? I like the G Shock AW560 but can't find any reviews on it like yours. Anyways, great vids man 5/5 like always
Also I wish Casio would stop displaying the American Month-Day format on their G shocks. It's really annoying for the rest of the world having to put up with that!!
oh youre the guy from the forum hahaha! nice accent! I dont know any place to buy frogman watches except for ebay where the heck can i find them for a good price
The solar system in these casios is not so reliable, i have seen a lot of them that the batteries do not last so long.They are still a world apart from the citizen eco drives that realy last a very long time.
This watch is a scam from casio,its way overpriced,it did not exist 25 years ago, it is realy a 90s watch.They are realy fooling people on a false nostalgia.
Just wanted to add. An excellent review of an outstanding watch. The video indeed also provides a great insight to the workings of this work of art. Please continue to post videos as they are very helpful.
Titanium core - very expensive material, hence justified higher prices for Frogman.
Casio 25 year anniversary..the watch and style is not 25 year's old it represents high quality japanese IS0 cert divers watch. Divers watch robust, practical, hard wearing - in this case beautiful too and expensive. All the Frogman range appreciates in value - love it.
All gold bits are titanium, light, strong expensive Divers single core.
Limited edition 25th anniversary also contributes to price - once gone from retail stores they're gone for good.
Seroiusly the watch is stunning when viewed in person. Note: The watch is designed to be precise as Divers need exact timing for air. (life dependent) very beautiful, professionals watch. Research the purpose and use of watches of this very high caliber before making uninformed statements. Many Thanks.
@cressi2326 This is a bit late but its not the anniversary of the frogman its of G Shock the first G Shock came out in april of 1983 so in april of 2008 it would be 25 years.
@cressi2326 You are an aweful fuckin silly rabbit. Now, if you looked at the date by which this video was uploaded, as well as if you knew jack crap about G Shocks, you would know that the first Casio G-Shock ever released was in 1983. Now, if your intellect is at least relatively average, you'd be able to determine that... Hmm, 2008-1983 (hint, just do 108-83), you'd come to find that the answer is... I'll be damned, 25.
Heyy i got a casio watch recently with the yellow wrist strapping and i noticed today that my black leather jacket the dye from it has run into the strap on the watch! anyone know how this can be removed so it looks new and fresh again???
Doug I enjoyed your review on the GW225A. I have been wanting one for a long time and finally I picked mine up from Ebay (mind you for a premium) but it was encased in a black 'carbon fiber' like box as opposed to your tin. Was this available only in the Japan market sales? How long does it generally take to get a full charge? I received mine with 2 battery ticks and has not moved up or down since.
I like that Box, thats the Japanese release version, everyone else gets the tin. Great pickup. Could take a week or 2 in sunlight for that full reserve charge, shouldn't move back down after that. Enjoy!
Nice review I am planning to get the clear frogman for the 25th anniversary(watch number GW225E-7) Well great review even though I am not a driver I Just like the look of the watch
It comes in 3 types of boxes. Ones imported from Japan came in a chest like box. American released ones came in my container, and the ones at discounted prices came in the box.
