Casio launches new Frogman

Casio has finally launched the much awaited Frogman. The watch, model number GWF-1000-1 will be available from September 20, so expect it soon. The GWF-1000B-1 will be launched at the end of October. The retail price for the GWF-1000-1 is expected to be around USD 730 and the GWF-1000B-1 at USD 850. The GWF-1000B-1 looks like it is the 'gold' version of the standard GWF-1000-1. This puts the new watch at almost double the price of the current Frogman.
