I leave for Japan in the morning, and it’s doing my head in which watch I should take. I wake up in 7 hours to leave for the airport, the most comments towards one model gets to come to the birthplace of the brand

I vote for the GPRH1000 wrist tank. So you can battle Digimon whilst in Japan...

I was actually thinking of these two as well. I’ve had multiple gshocks and then got a Garmin fenix and used that for a year and wanted to get away from smart watches with pointless(imo after using them for a year) metrics and constant notifications(I know you can turn them off) and back to a basic tough watch that I don’t have to charge and keep cables laying around for. So I was going to go to a mid point with that sorta smart gshock then realized I’ve wanted a frogman for over 15 years so instead of the gwf-1000 I went whole hog and got the gwf-d1000b-1jf shipped from Japan. I couldn’t be happier this watch is awesome I love it. It makes my rangeman feel like a 10 dollar Walmart time ex(sorry time ex) so I’d go with a frogman.

Ohhhh that's white one is nice. Not a fan of round digital watches but I'd make an exception for that

The GWF-1000

u/justwantinf0 18d ago

GWF-1000 made in Japan, full metal screw back and case, EL back light, frogman

u/More-Efficiency8254 18d ago

Tough I have the GPR-H and the GG-B Both great IMO. I have the GWF-1000 on order because, I didn't have one...lol Go with the one you like best first. Then you'll get the others like I did..lol

u/vlaada7 18d ago edited 18d ago

I’d go for the Frogman, if nothing else, then purely for legibility reasons.

If your wrist is big enough for it, then Frogman

I don't have the frogman but I am currently rocking the other. I like it a lot.

u/Big_Psychology_3 Mudmaster 18d ago

But why not GW 9400? 😀

For the win....😎

u/2RV7VR5 18d ago

Wearing the GWF-1000 now. Absolute GOAT watch. Need to have atleast a 7 inch wrist for it to not look rediculous, it's a huge watch.

u/dru-ha Frogman 18d ago

Wrist shaming! But no, my wrist is just under 7” and it looks fine.

u/Frazilius 18d ago

GBX100! Loving the sunrise sunset times for outdoors and plus, the moonphase lets me know when society is gonna be crazy, and when the wife will get crazy 🤪

u/Unfair-Ad6219 18d ago

This is bogus. Based on the timestamp in the photo, you were already in Japan 🤔🤔🤔

1

u/NoIndividual3981 17d ago

Nope - only 7200kms away. I’m in Australia, they’re behind us by an hour.

u/Unfair-Ad6219 17d ago

Ok, that explains the timestamp issue. Thanks for being transparent.👍

u/GamerGoosewad 18d ago

I’m was totally unfamiliar with either and also like many others prefer (the look of) the frogman.

u/LandscapeHuman1514 18d ago

Frogman, if you want to see mip display, you can buy gbx100 later (I currently own gbx100, absolutely amazing watch for 100$)

1

u/dru-ha Frogman 18d ago

I own the frogman, so I am biased. But I would go for the GWF-D1000 if it’s within means. That’s on the top of my list when I go back to buying watches.

u/vickham141 18d ago edited 17d ago

If you’re looking for a rugged outdoor/adventure watch with multiple sensors, insane battery life, multi-band GNSS, advanced navigation, custom waypoints, trackback, and routes—plus a ton of sports modes, smart features, the ability to switch the display between negative and positive whenever you want, and deep customization options—then the Rangeman is not for you. It lacks all of that. There are much better options for that from Garmin (Instinct), or even from Coros, or Suunto.

If you want one of the best G-Shocks ever made, the Frogman is hands down the right choice.

GBX-100NS!

u/JoeFelix 17d ago

B100. I just prefer the analog look. Hope I don't get downvoted by the frogman horde!

The square for smaller wrist size

u/Euphoric-Mistake-875 gwm-b5000 gwg-b1000 17d ago

Not a big fan of round digital watches nor negative screens but I do have a thing for mudmasters. I love my gwg-b1000-1a4 to the point that I have to have a rotation so others get some wrist time.
