What a watch! Amazon have a great price on this Japanese made, titanium screw back g-shock. The original 'Master of G', this is the 2001+ interpretation of the classic 1993 original, featuring the embossed diving frog logo on the caseback. Site mode, passport/c card/blood type data bank, stop watch, countdown timer and 3 alarms + hourly signal make this a very competent model. The full auto EL light is powerful enough, the watch is constructed very well, and has a solid, quality feel. There is a reason why the frogman watches are the most sought after in the range, this is no exception; the military 'stealth' look is very well done with the gun metal bezel and strap color.
In summary, highly recommended, get one before they are all gone and Casio discontinues the line (as they frequently do with the frogman line).

I bought the GW200MS-1CR Frogman about a month ago and it has quickly become my favorite G-Shock. It's a really well designed watch and is very comfortable, even though it is the largest G-Shock I've had. The shape very cool visually, but is also extremely functional as the watch doesn't rub against the back of my hand which allows for full range of motion. The band is another great feature, it's ventilated and has some really cool touches. The display is very readable, which was a big factor in buying this watch. I had previously purchased the G9000MS-1 Mudman Military, but I disliked the reverse LCD. This Frogman is the only one of the military stealth G-Shocks that does not have the reverse LCD. The only downside is that although the watch is solar powered, it is not atomic but so far it has been very accurate.
Overall, this is my favorite G-Shock. Although it commands a premium price, it's definitely a big step up from a typical G-Shock and is a great addition to my collection. |

I've had this watch for a while now, and I thought I'd give my thoughts on it. First of all, this watch isn't black. It is actually dark grey or a gun metal color. Also, I've had this watch for a few months, and although it is not atomic, its accuracy is near perfect. Finally, I use to be a Recon Marine, and I would absolutely approve this watch for anyone serving in the millitary; it's already subdued, solar powered, and a G-shock, which makes it very tactical, durable, and functional for use in combat.
All that being said, you can probably find this watch for a much cheaper price on another site. The price listed above is very much inflated. Of course, the Frogmans are pretty rare, especially this particular model. Get one before they are all gone. |

Casio made this G-Shock watch to standout. I have gotten nothing but compliments on it and asked where to get one.
Very exceptional looking!!
