I like it and will probably get one. It's like the child of Riseman and Frogman :)
Riseman on steroids?

I have the 9200 Riseman (alti/thermo/baro)and 9300 MUDMAN with compass and thermo (solar)
It'll be a nice addition to my G shocks. This sh!t is addictive! :)

It's solar and atomic btw. Way to go. Maybe this watch can replace my Riseman and Mudman so I am Et down to 4 GShocks :)

Is that atomic but not solar? That would be weird and take it off the list for me.
It's gotta be solar, right? I see high, medium, low on the screen. Can't imagine that it wouldn't be.
Yep missed those when looking before.

So Bill, you got my seal of approval. :lol: :thumbsup:

Love the OD green version but I always find the negative displays a bit of a disappointment when it comes to legibility.... which is a bummer because they look really cool.

This Suunto Spartan that I picked up from Paul has become a firm favourite & has pretty much bumped my G-Shocks out of the rotation....

Aren't those Suuntos weak on the water resistance? Your looks cool Donna. :cheers:

What I like most is the crown shaped button that's similar to the cockpit series watches, I bet that's a selling point and so Casio decided to implement the same design here.

Cheers Steve! I'm not sure what the other Suuntos are like but that one of mine is 200M WR + the buttons are operable underwater :thumbsup:

That green looks really nice. Will wait before I can try one on before deciding. If its smaller than the new Mudman I'll own one at some point.

My g-shock limit is around $150. $200 if I truly love it.

Demand may be high at first but give it a few months and the waters will calm. A lot of G shock fanboys salivating at the first official abc G.

Love the description of the $4500 Frogman (and why does it remind me of a nigerian scam letter?)

"■ CASIO G-SHOCK GWF-T1000BS-1JR RUBY FROGMAN

■ The special model of the 200 whole-world limitation which adopted "6-4 Titanium"
and a population ruby appears.

■ 26% of weight saving (86g) is attained from the base model (115g)
which adopted the stainless steel case.

■ The greatest feature is having adopted "6-4 Titanium" 3 times
the hardness of unalloyed titanium as a metal case, the screw back, a side button, etc.

■ The character of the frog which symbolizes FROGMAN
is beginning to be deleted in three dimensions in the screw back.

■ It is a design of the prejudice unique to a special edition model
to adopt an artificial ruby as a decoration screw etc.

That is hilarious. A plastic digital watch for the price of a brand new Planet Ocean. People are so dumb.
