My MB6’s didn’t receive properly for weeks and it really bugged me. The tower must have been repaired as I now receive the signal daily again. Between that, and keeping the solar cells topped up, my watches really do keep me busy.

The frog line is really cool, my question is what makes them so expensive, alot of the functions it has are not unique to other g shocks. Is it just a brand marketing strategy and now the prices are extremely marked up?
@desire68frogman983 ай бұрын
Good question. Not the official answer but all I can think of is that they’re all JDM models, have a ISO rating and have that “elite status” among G-Shock enthusiasts. Us consumers do have a very big part to play in the marketing, following and pricing. I remember seeing and buying my first Frogman. It was the burning red 1000 series. Back in 2011 it could be had for around the $500USD mark. I was a little hard up and needed the cash so I sold that Frogman. A couple of years later when I was doing a lot better financially, I was able to buy it back, only now the price had literally tripled 😳 guess what, I paid it as I knew that the quality was worth it. I also own a couple of MRG’s, the prices for these top model G-Shocks is insane but I, like others pay the asking price. If seems that Casio know this “just like other large watch brands do” so they keep on pricing them as high as they do, knowing that consumers will pay the price. It’s a struggle to keep collecting in this present climate, but one thing’s for sure, I’ll never sell a frogman, MTG or MRG again. They’re too precious and way too hard to reclaim when the need arises.
@doppeekidd3 ай бұрын
I own a gw9000 and gw9300 mudman, the 9300 is jdm and was definitely more expensive because of it. The quality does seem to be very good and it is infact used. So I can definitely understand that, but to me the price of the frogman is way to much for what it offers. Many g shocks are already very hardy for what they endure. I also own a 9052 that I bought at wal mart for 50$ and It still works perfectly after taking it to the ocean, working with paint, working in construction etc. I work in mud and all that which is why I upgraded to a mudman. Well 2.
@desire68frogman983 ай бұрын
@doppeekidd I get you man, but at the end of the day, when the name “Frogman” is mentioned, it causes attention. It’s like a cult following, which helps jack up the price. Don’t get me wrong, the Frogman is an awesome watch, and I love them, but the hype is real with this model and I feel it always will be. Frogman are special G-Shocks, the collectors and consumers have caused them to become this way. Casio know this and capitalize on it. I still want the Japanese coastguard model and it’s wicked expensive, but if I had the $$$, I wouldn’t even think twice. Others might think that spending that amount on, what’s really another D Series Frogman in a different colour, is utter madness, while all I see is a wicked Frogman added to the frog pond🐸🐸🐸
