Casio has officially released its latest luxury dive watch, the G-Shock MRG-BF1000 Goliath Frogman, in the UK. Part of the prestigious MR-G line, this elite timepiece blends rugged durability with cutting-edge technology and premium materials. With a price tag of £4,400, the MRG-BF1000RG-3A is now available for purchase through the G-Shock UK online store, with a US release expected by mid-May 2025.
Designed for Divers: Built to Conquer the Deep
The MRG-BF1000 Goliath Frogman is engineered specifically for professional diving. With its 200-meter water resistance, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and a rust-resistant titanium case, this watch is made to withstand harsh marine environments while retaining its high-end aesthetic.
The case design draws inspiration from the goliath frog, the world’s largest frog species, and this theme is echoed in the watch’s khaki green Dura Soft fluoro rubber strap, which offers both comfort and durability. Orange highlights and beige Neobrite indexes enhance visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring divers can always read the time, whether underwater or above.
Feature-Packed for Marine Enthusiasts
This isn’t just a rugged diver’s watch—it’s also smart and connected. The Bluetooth-enabled Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000 syncs with the Casio Watches app, enabling users to:
- View and manage their dive logs
- Customize tide graph settings
- Adjust time-related features remotely
With Dive Mode, users can track dive times, monitor surface intervals, and observe tidal conditions directly on the watch and within the app.
Additional features include:
- Dual time zones (World Time)
- 1-second stopwatch
- Countdown timer
- Daily alarm
- White LED backlight for maximum visibility
- Tough Solar technology for sustainable power
These features make the Goliath Frogman not only a precision instrument for divers but also a versatile travel companion.
Luxury Meets Performance: The MR-G Series Signature
As part of the elite MR-G lineup, the Goliath Frogman represents the pinnacle of G-Shock craftsmanship. The titanium construction is lightweight yet robust, and the attention to detail—like the screw-lock back and carefully polished surfaces—cements its place in the luxury watch market.
At £4,400, it’s priced significantly higher than typical G-Shock models, but this reflects its hand-finished quality, advanced engineering, and premium materials. It’s a tool watch for serious professionals or collectors seeking high-performance with an exclusive edge.
Availability and Expected US Launch
Currently available via the G-Shock UK online store, the MRG-BF1000RG-3A has yet to reach physical retail locations in the UK, according to Casio’s Expert appointment booking tool. However, global demand is already ramping up.
The watch is also available for pre-order in Japan, and rumors suggest a US release on May 15th, 2025, priced at approximately $4,300 USD. Information on a broader European rollout remains pending, but given its luxury status, availability may remain limited.
