G-Shock GWF-1000-1JF Basic Frogman

Hi, everyone. Time for more Frogman model from Casio G-Shock. I'm referring to the basic model which is the

GWF-1000-1JF

as known as the the basic frogman. This model are also from the GWF family which stands for:

G = G-Shock
W = Waveceptor
F = Frogman.

It is really cool naming system that Casio had invented for their G-Shock watches. They released this piece in two separate type of the same model. The other version of this would be the GF-1000-1 model. As you can tell from the model number, there is no "W" letter in there which translate to that this other version won't going to have a "waveceptor" function built into the electronics.

A wave-ceptor is a technology that Casio had integrated into some of their middle and high end model that allow these watches to receives time-synchronization wave signal to make sure an accurate time-keeping capabilities every single day.

"Never missed a second"- GHF

There are not much to say about this model but as a basic model, is is being produces a lot by Casio since it was first released due to it's versatility and of course it's popularity.

As usual, I also made an unboxing video for you guys to see it clearly of how this model are actually look like, enjoy.

I provide a Youtube link as well if you guys couldn't view it from here: GWF-1000-1JF. 

I filmed all these way back while I was living in Japan. It is really fun and daring feels even when I had been doing it for plenty of times. This video is pretty old while I still barely know much about G-Shock. I;m still learning even up until to this day. 😀

Like any other model from Casio g-shock, every basic model of each family will be made to be in black. Hence, this large frogman model can't be excluded as well.

Looking at the design of it, all was made in matte black color; with some matte dial printed words on it. All was made from resin material including it's band keeper.

It also comes with a positive display screen surrounded with a solar panel around it for it's tough solar function; that a special term for solar cell equipped G-Shock

The side pieces and buckle was made from steel and this model has a cased back plate that was made out of stainless steel that had gone through a process called DLC (Diamond-Liked-Coating). This is crucial to make sure the case is tough enough to withstand high underwater pressure onto this watch for divers.

The retail price of this model is 68,000¥ + tax. which I thought to be fairly affordable considering what this model have to offer to you guys. 

To me, as an individual with a small wrist, this model couldn't fit that well but I'm able to rock them with the right outfit. Usually long sleeves shirt or just plain sweater.

That will be all for now.

Thank you for visiting.
