- I don't want a watch that flies under the radar, I want a watch that screams attention..

I like the way you talk about IT. Today before the Christmas time i was watching this watch for myself and the 😊smile shows on my face when i tried IT on my hand wrist COSIDERING to have real G ift
These MR-Gs seem to have that impact on people especially when you think you will like the watch. I have to brace myself/ the damage to the bank account every time I look at another MR-G.
You're right, I did seriously look at this Frogman myself... but at £4,500 in the UK 🇬🇧... I had to think about it.
While I was thinking about it, I bought the MRG-B2000B-1A1DR (in Ninja Black) which satisfied me, and I love that watch now.
In the meantime, I fell in love with another divers watch, and it also happens to be a Chronograph. With rotating bezel and Stopwatch.
It was the Omega Seamaster 300 Chronograph Stainless Steel 18k Sedna Gold. Black on Rubber Strap. A co-axial mechanical automatic watch with just a bit of bling added.
I managed to get a great Discount, with 5 years Omega Warranty, from an Authorised AD. Bridging the price gap enough to knock the Frogman off my radar now.
No regrets, but the Frogman is still nice. 😊
I can relate to you and understand your process. The 300 18k Gold is very nice and a rubber strap with a watch like that is always going to work.
Great review as always! The titanium bracelet is also very good and I mostly wear it that way. It’s a good option.
the bracelet is very nice and I was thinking if Casio offered one with a blue insert (or black DLC) it would be perfect for the BF1000R as it seems Casio colour matches the bracelet lock colour to the case colour detail.
@@masterwatch yes, I can see that. However, the gold accent on the lock, is the same exact finish as the MRG logo (polished gold). The finish on the yellow frogs hardware is a dull gold finish. I think the polished finish looks perfect with the blue frog and you wouldn’t be disappointed.
@@douglaskrueger357 I will take a look.
I am giving serious thought to the red version with the Ti bracelet.
I have a 30th Anniversary G Shock from 2013 which is the normal resin type - it has been faultless, never needed servicing and is still the watch I grab because I want reliable and not too flashy.
I do not think most people would think these MR-G Frogman watches were anywhere near as costly as they are - which I see as a good thing.
I've looked at the red MR-G frog a few times. I do like it but the yellow one is the one I missed and now I would like that one. Saying that it is likely Casio will release another colour variant that is always another possible want to think about.
I bought it last week
I absolutely adore it
it is a great watch.
Excellent review, buying one this eve!
I think it will be one of those collectables in the future also. the build quality is very high.
looks beautiful !
thank you.
I’ll be back in Tokyo in September so I’ll try this on there + then. Hoping it’s OK for smaller wrists but many of the oversized G-shocks wear well even on slim wrists.
I would try on as you might find it fits well and you are right even though some G-Shocks are larger they still wear fine.
@@masterwatch - it looks great actually. Can I ask you? - the day hand on the right, does that sweep around slowly or just snap onto the next day instantly at 12:00?
@@edwardcatt2399 I think I actually watched it snap onto the next date at 12:00.
@@masterwatch - glad I caught you . . . I’m so tempted to get this from Bic Camera tomorrow but it seems like the day hand isn’t that well aligned with the letters? Does your day hand point directly onto the middle point of the ‘W’ (Wednesday)? Not sure if this is misalignment or if they’re all like this?
@@edwardcatt2399 might be the camera angle as on mine it appears aligned.. or rather to the eye I really can't see any error. MR-G should be pretty perfect in my experience.
How are the MRG’s holding up to daily wear ? I’m a little hesitant to wear mine a lot. Feel more comfortable wearing the MRG B5000R daily than the bracelet versions. Maybe I’m just too OCD !
I think you are right. The MRG-B5000R is probably the perfect daily wearer and perhaps one of the best Square releases ever. I really would like one. I find all G-Shocks good wearers as they are by nature tough although if you do use them they are going to mark like every other watch. These days I tend to wear watches as a pleasure and to match an outfit (says the fashion victim 😂) and for cooking timing eggs and potatoes... am a bit of a geek really.
i order it, and i will received it within 2 weeks, love the colour, low profile
you will like it.. it is a nice watch and very impressive in the hand.
I am warming up to large in your face G shock watch. I have a number of Casio watches but no G Shock yet. I was thinking about getting a G Shock Square because it is under the radar, but it is boring. Then I started listing at a GSG Mudman100 on sale 50% off at Costco. If you are going to wear an industrial tough watch go loud and proud.
I agree.. or just wear what you like. The titanium makes it very wearable in terms of weight and the size matches the style and design really.
It is great watch.
I have been looking for the yellow version with the bracelet.
The Frog is not a “me too” watch and not for everyone.
I do like it and I like the way it stand out.
I like to buy one but i have skinny wrist 6.5 inch and its a lage watch lol
@@dyslexicbien I would try it on as if you feel ok with it then it is fine. I think other people will think 6.5 inch is fine.
@@masterwatch Same here, have a small 6.5" wrist but I bit the bullet and bought the MRG-B2000R-1AJR. It's a big watch but definitely wearable lug to lug. It also has blue accents like the Frogman. However, this Frogman is next on my list, but I will probably buy it preowned :)
@@rossdev the B2000R is a nice watch and I like the way G-Shock offers these colour accents it is cool. Based on what you have I would think you would like the frog. You have to remember these MR-Gs are high end watches.
Is the whole thing made out of grade 5 ti?
as I understand it Casio have 4 types of propriety titanium. One of them is probably grade 5 or equivalent and I think this model is at least one that is grade 5 for the main structure. They may have used a harder titanium for the bezel, I would need to look.
I have also ordered the titanium bracelet for this model and will show that.
@@masterwatch I can’t find any information on the case but the website says grade 5 for the buckle and tang holder.
@@petrsvoboda3902 in that case I would assume DLC Titanium grade 5. Apparently the DLC treatment does harden the surface.
I got the yellow band version 😬
I did keep looking at that and because of the bracelet I was so tempted...
Hi what is your wrist size?
about 7 inches about 185mm I think.
That's the pinnacle. lol
It is a super watch, these frogs 🐸 are very good.
@masterwatch I noticed the affordable versions are completely different mode sundial everything's rearranged. Cuz the mrg can't float? 😂
Giant watch like other g-shock. İf casio want to join to high price tag watch market, they have to realize that they are not producing a palettized tank, where is the aesthetics of this watch. İf someone says this is scuba watch, i say all g-shock is same size almost, mr-g, mt-g, etc.
this is a big watch but it does match the design and style, it is such a different watch to others.
@@masterwatch i like g-shock. But it is placed himself at field watch, like safari, scuba, etc. Becaıse of this they made bulky watch to protect the watch. But it can be everyday watch if it is more aesthetic. Casio should think about it. At the end of the day, very less people goes to camp with 5000dolar outdoor watch.
@@Muhakal.56789 you make a good point.
Looks big heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Let me take it off your hands for you.
hehe 😂
what is so attractive about that hideous brick on the wrist?! really a montruous hideos horrible watch. Why dont you put the kitchen wall clock on the wrist instead?
I've actually called it a wall clock on the wrist myself but I still do like it and all the functions it has. It is probably more mechanical art and I can imagine not everyone likes it.
