Casio has once again raised the bar for rugged timepieces with the launch of the G-Shock Goliath Frogman, a cutting-edge diving watch equipped with Tough Solar charging, now available in the UK. Designed to withstand extreme underwater conditions while maintaining precision, this latest addition to the iconic Frogman line combines Casio’s signature durability with eco-friendly solar technology, catering to divers and adventurers who demand reliability both above and below the surface.
A Legacy Built for the Depths
Since its debut in 1993, the G-Shock Frogman series has been synonymous with professional-grade dive watches, boasting ISO 200-meter water resistance and shockproof construction. The Goliath Frogman continues this legacy, featuring a reinforced stainless steel case, anti-corrosive titanium accents, and a unidirectional bezel tailored for tracking dive times. Its sleek, oversized design ensures readability in murky waters, while the triple LED backlight guarantees clarity in low-light environments.
Tough Solar: Power That Never Dives
The standout feature of the Goliath Frogman is its Tough Solar charging system, which converts natural and artificial light into energy, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. This innovation is a game-changer for divers embarking on extended expeditions, ensuring the watch remains powered even in remote locations. Casio claims the solar module can maintain full functionality for up to 23 months on a full charge, making it ideal for off-grid adventures.
Engineered for Endurance
Beyond its solar prowess, the Goliath Frogman is built to endure. The watch includes a depth sensor rated up to 80 meters, real-time tide graphs, and moon phase data—critical tools for serious divers. Its carbon fiber-reinforced band reduces weight without compromising strength, and the Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping ensures automatic synchronization with global atomic clocks for unmatched accuracy.
Availability and Pricing
The G-Shock Goliath Frogman is now available for pre-order in the UK through Casio’s official G-Shock portal, with retail shipments beginning next month. Priced at £899, it positions itself as a premium offering for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals seeking a blend of cutting-edge tech and rugged design.
Casio’s push into solar-powered wearables isn’t new. In 2021, the brand unveiled a G-Shock smartwatch with hybrid solar charging, merging traditional durability with smart features like GPS and notifications. The Goliath Frogman, however, focuses squarely on diving excellence, proving Casio’s commitment to tailoring its solar innovations to niche audiences.
Final Dive
With the Goliath Frogman, Casio reinforces its reputation as a leader in adventure-ready timekeeping. Whether you’re navigating coral reefs or urban jungles, this watch promises to keep pace—powered by light, built to last, and engineered for the extremes. Dive in, and leave the battery anxiety behind.
