help Casio G-Shock Frogman Series FAQ
Is the G-Shock Frogman ISO 6425 certified as an official dive watch?
Yes, the Frogman line carries ISO 6425 certification for diver's watches, which subjects it to testing for water resistance, legibility, temperature resistance, and shock resistance. This makes it one of the few digital watches to hold a formal dive certification.
What's the water resistance rating of the G-Shock Frogman?
The Frogman is rated to 200 meters (20 BAR) water resistance, which is double the 100m rating on most standard G-Shock models. This depth rating, combined with its ISO certification, makes it suitable for recreational scuba diving.
How does the Frogman differ from the G-Shock Mudmaster or Rangeman?
The Frogman is purpose-built for underwater diving with ISO 6425 certification and depth-related features, while the Mudmaster is engineered for land-based extreme conditions with mud and dust resistance. The Rangeman is a more affordable all-terrain ABC (altimeter, barometer, compass) watch that lacks the Frogman's dive certification.
Which Frogman models feature Tough Solar charging?
Modern Frogman models, including the GWFA1000 series released in the 2020s, feature Tough Solar technology that recharges the battery via natural and artificial light. Earlier Frogman generations, such as the original DW-6300 from the 1990s, did not include solar charging.
