G-SHOCK, which is highly sought after by fashionistas, and its MASTER OF G series of FROGMAN watches, can be said to have the least new works, but there are always a group of collectors I must buy it every time, because I love its super domineering asymmetrical case design and ISO 200-meter water resistance. This summer is a good time for them to buy it, because the first pure pointer design, the seventh-generation Frogman watch GWF- The A1000 series is coming, and it has changed the screw-in back cover design and debuted with a one-piece case.
▲The first FROGMAN watch DW-6300-1A was launched in 1993.
▲The asymmetric case design is a major feature of the FROGMAN series.
G-SHOCK launched the first-generation FROGMAN DW-6300 in 1993, featuring a unique asymmetrical case and focusing on ISO 200-meter diving grade waterproofing. The craziest joint name appeared in 2013, when they collaborated with Takashi Murakami to launch ***300 FROGMAN watches, with a transparent red strap and white text. The back of the watch was engraved with a flower pattern painted by Murakami, and peach. The red box has his signature on the outside, and the pillow is covered with his signature flowers. It was collected by G-DRAGON of the Korean band BIGBANG. What’s even more amazing is that the original price is about US$4,000 (about NT$120,000), and it is actually in Japan. The Yahoo auction has been hyped to US$40,000 (approximately NT$1,200,000).

Returning to conventional watches, FROGMAN continues to improve. The latest masterpiece, the seventh-generation Frogman watch GWF-A1000 series, is the first pure pointer design to display local time, second time, tide data and diving time measurement. It allows users to interpret various measurement data intuitively. It is equipped with ultra-bright LED lighting and luminous paint pointers, making it easy to grasp information in dark places.

The structure of the watch body has also been redesigned. The case and back of the watch are made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, and are matched with the newly developed carbon fiber core protection structure CARBON CORE GUARD to achieve excellent impact resistance and Compared with the previous generation GWF-D1000, the weight has been reduced by 22g, and even the classic frog back cover pattern has a new look. Various innovations have left loyal fans unable to resist.
