G-Shock Frogman GWF-D1000 with Depth Gauge

There’s a new all-digital G-Shock Master of G watch on the horizon. The G-Shock GWF-D1000 Frogman is due for a June 2016 release in Japan. The upcoming models include the GWF-D1000-1JF, the GWF-D1000B-1JF

The major new features of the GWF-D1000 are a depth meter sensor to gauge diving depth, a sapphire crystal for improved scratch resistance, a compass bearing sensor that works underwater, and a thermometer to measure water temperature. Like the previous GWF-1000 model, the GWF-D1000 has Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping, tide and moon age data, and a carbon fiber insert band. Though it differs from the usual altimeter/barometer/compass-thermometer sensor-equipped G-Shocks, this Frogman is also billed as a Triple Sensor watch with its depth gauge, compass, and thermometer. The GWF-D1000 also has a Time Stamp function that can store 20 time stamp records of water depth, water temperature, and compass bearing. The Frogman line, first released in 1993, is G-Shock’s signature diving watch and is the only G-Shock line with 200-meter water resistance that is ISO-compliant.

The GWF-D1000-1JF has silver accents and a red Frogman logo, while the GWF-D1000B-1JF has a blue ion plating on the front screws and sensor and a blue subdisplay ring and Frogman logo.

The dimensions of the GWF-D1000 are 59.2 x 53.3 x 18.0 mm which is slightly larger than the GWF-1000 (58.3 x 52.8 x 18.0 mm) and the weight is 141 grams. Retail list price for the GWF-D1000-1JF is ¥125,000 JPY (~$1,098 USD). The GWF-D1000B-1JF and GWF-D1000K-7JR are ¥130,000 JPY (~$1,142 USD).

The GWF-D1000-1JF and GWF-D1000B-1JF will be released in Japan on June 10, 2016.
