    Frogman is amazing!

    After 20 yrs, I am back and fall in love with G-Shock again! It is because of the king of G-Shock appears to me last week. When I was surfing in the watches forums, pressed wrong button by accident, I got into the G-Shock section. Discovered one and only one model can really go for diving, which sure is the Frogman!

    I am collecting diving watches over years but all of them are mechanic, Frogman is my first diving watch now. Compared with mechanic watches, Frogman is relatively very low price, so I am planning to get more and more different models of Frogman in my collection.

    I am lucky living in HongKong, so not so difficult to get two nice Frogman in few days.

    Congrats Daniel! My story is similar to you, also from mechnicals to G Shock. I also live in Hongkong.
    Wear them in good health.

    Cheers,

    Re: Frogman is amazing!

    The Frogman is a funny watch: it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of deal, it has a very unique appeal, but even those who don't want to buy one (99% of the time because of the price), recognize that it's in a league a bit different then regular Gs.
    Cheers!

    Thanks Wah, LUW and Mike! It is unique in G-Shock series, it caused me no longer to look for other models now!

    Okay, if Gs are easy to find in Hong Kong, are they easier to acquire in tokyo?

    Tokyo should be easier, from my experience. I visited Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in the past. Unfortunately, I haven't fallen in love with GS yet.

    Today, I an wearing this 7th anniversary version 8201NT have lunch in Japanese restaurant. This is the heritage edition. I like it so much!Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1344072179.748204.jpg

    I mean I didn't fall in love with G-shock when I was in Japan. Otherwise, my pocket would be empty due to spend too much to buy Gs. Ha ha

    Congratulations Daniel! My story is similar. When I first got into watches 2 years ago, I was only into gshocks. I remember thinking that the frogman is an ugly watch. I then got into mechanical dive watches. I recently purchased a frog GWF-1000, and love it! Now I am back into gshocks. It's strange how tastes in watches change. My frog says hi.
