to Frog or not to Frog, that is the question

[mudman12]

I saw the 2012 Frogman at the mall,
and surprisingly it felt comfortable wearing, when I asked how much is it with Tax, .... it came to $612 ...I want a Frogman quite bad, but is it worth paying that much?. The resin strap didn't look as well designed as on a Riseman etc, I like the blue tones. The menu starts of with a Log...
hmmmmm.... what do you think?

Is this the Atomic or Non-Atomic one? If you really want one badly, you can find one online for better deal!

Not sure, you mean Multiband 6 ?

Not sure, you mean Multiband 6 ?

Yes Multiband 6 (the GWF-1000). The non-atomic is GF-1000.

Yes, I paid about the same for the Atomic Frog. I have both an atomic King and an atomic Frog. They are virtually the same size, only one is rectangular and the other circular. Unless you need the dive functions, my advice is go for the King. Much better value.

From what I remember it was Not "Multiband 6"

Can you post a pic of your king! ;)

If it's not Multiband 6, then the watch can be had for a quite a bit less. I just got the Non-Atomic so I'm sure you can find it for less than that. You can find the Atomic for under $612 on the bay sometimes.

Regardless of cost I would only purchase Multiband-6 versions of these models. Here is a video which compares both the Frog and King in size:
