Casio unveiled the 'GWFA1000APF1' timepiece, also known as the second iteration in the brand's 'FROGMAN' lineup. The FROGMAN timepieces draw inspiration from the poison dart frog, a black and red frog with a white hexagonal pattern.
The timepiece reflects this color palate with a multilayered black carbon bezel, a polarized fluorine band, and subtle white and blue accents around the bezel and dial. This watch has bright blue hands, blue and white subdials, and an excellent interwoven color pattern that pays homage to the organic coloring of the poison dart frog.
As for the specifications of the product itself, the GWFA1000APF1 features shock resistance, 200M water resistance, solar power, Bluetooth connectivity, and various convenience-focused features such as a stopwatch, alarm, timer, and more. The iconic FROGMAN release is available now at an MSRP of $1,100 USD.
