Oh really? I thought it need to have batch number if come out from factory for model that have batch nimber on it? I bought from all in one online. Btw this is GM-6900 (metal series)

2 most important to recognise fakes

1) LED Backlight test
2) All buttons functioning

The fakes ones won't be able to imitate or copy those to the letter. for example if the watch have Barometer Sensors when you press the watch button it won't bring up the Barometer ... its just do nothing .

Back light LED test will be poor quality and you can sense that its just a cheap light.

Correct the batch number will not be in all watches especially if the watches are not from Japan factory . So far Japan version mostly have complete batch numbers .

The ones from China or Thailand factory don' necessary have it in place.

I also thought Japan version will have batch number only but i saw the same model (ER and DR) have batch number on it. Is it very weird cause all the functionality and led backlight test is good. Let me attached the DR and ER version sample image i obtained from internet for this same model. Btw is A.I.O seller reliable?

ER version:


DR version:

A.I.O is reliable but you have to check pricing as well. I got the Gravity Master from them and its legit and the real thing 100% Original. Having said that if you troll their shop there are a few that does not quite jive with the market pricing point.
Always do a sanity check on the pricing though for example if you see a Frogman model that sells for 800 or below 300 RM you instantly know that those are fakes. Entry level of Frogman price are 3K and above.

Shoppee have a lot of them selling G Shock Frogman for RM350 normally they put up as sale or sale clearance. When people read the sale discounts they immediately believe that its original so the rest you can put two and two together right. If its too good to be through its a definite Fakes.

See th ghosting number on the digital display ...

Yeah understand that if price differ much, it is mostly is fake. Purchase with almost similar to original price (RM700) cause unable to find this model in official store. :(

I found that official store online does not carry the good models. They usually have a bunch of entry levels here and there but never the big boys .

Based on my experience, the fake ones don't give you the proper tag with the correct model number..

And the box normally won't have the model stickers too..

Yep true enough but you will only know that when your orders already arrive. Buying it online is indeed risky and a gamble actually when one can only be guided by others users ratings.

If there are no ratings it is indeed a gamble by its own.

Yeah i have that as well but just missing the batch number. Very weird. Might return it.

G Shock Gravity Master

No need to return.
As long as there is no obvious fake indication then it should still be legit.

Some watches do not have SN engraved on the back cause that specific part is replaced/refurbished or produced as replacement after production ended.

Just google and can find the answers yourself

Anyone heard about the new Frogman model 2020 ?
Its about time the changed the whole design.

I have returned :(. But also it is too much in doubt unless the price have diff that worth take the risk

Is it authentic ?

The photos are genuine but this model isn't this cheap normally...resell price for import units is around RM 2k+-..

My thoughts exactly and I go ahead asking for which manual module this watch come from , details of what movement they are using. After a days the seller reply to me that this model have no stock how funny can that be right ?

But in the stocks number in the page it clearly shows they have stocks.

Fake. The pictures and description copy pasted 100% from a trusted seller who sold it at RM3k++.

When it makes no sense, it is nonsense.

And if I am not mistaken, there's no 1:1 copy for this Frogman yet...

The older Frogman GWF-1000 already has the better looking replica few years back..

Here comes 2020 Version of Frogman


https://www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/n...422_gwf-a1000/

Tokyo, April 22, 2020 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today a new addition to the FROGMAN series of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches for divers. The GWF-A1000 is the first FROGMAN to feature an analog display.

With ISO 200-meter water resistance, FROGMAN shock-resistant diver’s watches employ an asymmetric design to ensure unrestricted wrist movement underwater. The new GWF-A1000 introduces a creative way for divers who prefer an analog face to check dive time at a glance. Packed with new watch module and construction advancements, the GWF-A1000 is the first FROGMAN with an analog display.

The case is made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, which provides both the lightweight properties of resin and a strength similar to metal. The monocoque design, with seamless integration of the case and case back, further enhances the robust, lightweight specifications. The fluoroelastomer band also resists staining and deterioration due to reaction with water, which means the watch can be used for many years without worry.

In diving mode, the user checks the dive time with this new analog model, the hour and minute hands overlap and move in unison to form a single hand, making the time spent underwater easy to see and intuitive. In order to quickly switch the hands from the current time to the elapsed dive time, Casio developed a new module with three dual coil motors. The Super Illuminator supports the user even in a dark spot. The watch can also automatically log diving spots and times. Once it is paired with a smartphone running a dedicated app, the user is able to review a record of their diving activities.
