If you do not have a problem with yellowing, you might actually like it, as the yellowing gives the Frogman an unique look. So what makes a Frogman special. I have not noticed anyreal difference with the usual DW-8200 model, other than the logo’s and special engraving of for the W.C.C.S. Normally the usual DW-8200 would be used. If you like the bright clearness of the resin, you’ll better not wear it and keep it in the dark. When one of the date digits is left blank, you’ll get a 1-Month Alarm or a 1-Day Alarm. As of 2015, one year is the longest period of any long-term living arrangement attempted in space by an American. It's been a year ago I posted my last G-Shock article. Definitely on my list for the holidays next year! When it comes to digital watches, no brand has pushed the limits of innovation like Casio. This Frogman comes with the 1294 module. The Frogman comes with an asymmetric design and is exclusively manufactured to be a dive watch for scuba divers.

This means that the assembly of a Frogman means more labor than normal and labor in Japan is, like in Europe, very expensive. Bluetooth mobile link is becoming more common in mid-range and high-end models and allows the watch to sync the time through the internet. The asymmetry is probably used to make the watch wear more comfortable when worn over a wet suit. The watch includes Multiband atomic timekeeping, so you don’t have to worry about setting it, regardless of where you sail. These new STEP TRACKER pedometer-equipped sporty styles are the latest additions to the STEP TRACKER S Series of timepieces that feature attractive colors and sizes that don’t sacrifice G-SHOCK styling. Of course I didn’t safe the page (I actually don’t even know on what computer it was). Maybe I should drop him an e-mail, as searching for a page about yellowing resin in Japanese is a little too difficult for me. A few weeks ago I found an old page about yellowed resin on G-Shocks. Below: G-Shocks on display at the "Hard-Off" store in machida. The "Hard-Off" store where I saw the 2nd W.C.C.S.

All 29 W.C.C.S. models are jelly models. The W.C.C.S. models have the image of a small crab on the tip of the strap. There is one thing about jelly models that’s less pleasant and that is that over time they will turn yellow when worn or exposed to light for a long time. This watch also offers a triple-link stainless steel bracelet, date window at 3 o'clock, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet), which means it will stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving. This watch offers you a trendy solution that looks fantastic with almost any outfit that fits into your sports oriented lifestyle. For you who are interested in having a watch for sports activities the G Shock collection is a good option. In addition to the standard 200 metres worth of water resistance and shock resistance that feature in most G-Shock products, the GX-56BB is also resistant to magnetics.

First of all, it´s the only G-Shock model that meets the ISO standards for 20 bar water resistance. At first sight it is a pretty basic module with a 24 hour Stopwatch, a 24 hour Countdown Timer, 3 alarms with a hourly chime. Besides Timekeeping Mode, you find a World Time Mode, a Data Bank Mode, an Alarm Mode, a Stopwatch Mode and a Countdown Timer Mode. Besides normal time keeping, you find 4 other modes on this watch, the World Time mode, the Alarm Mode, the Stopwatch mode and the Countdown Timer mode. It also has a dedicated one-press button to start the stopwatch from timekeeping mode and a target time alert. If you hold the MODE button pressed for about 2 seconds, the module jumps into Dive Time mode. Cycling through the modes first brings one to the moon phase/tide graph mode which indicates at what state of ebb or flow the tide is in at any time during the day.

In June 1995 the DW-8200-1 was probably the first G-Shock model with the double buckle closure. The double buckle was by the way not used on the first Frogman, the DW-6300. Unlike the newer model Forerunners, the 405 and 405CX, the Forerunner 305 features both running and navigation features including support for map navigation, way points and routes. 13 models were Frogman models, which seems logical to me, as the best way to observe the beauty of the coral is to dive. Also is the Frogman one of the few asymmetric G-Shock models. G-SHOCK watches stand out not just with their tough design, but also with their technical refinements. This means that these models are tough tested for water resistance. The double row of holes and the double buckle suggests the straps are really tough. The reason why there are no Frogmans with a negative display has probably a lot to do with the readability under water.
