Sporting a vivid red hue, the GW8230NT-4 was crafted using state-of-the-art technologies to aesthetically reproduce everything from the distinctive asymmetric case to the dial component.

The iconic diving frog logo familiar to FROGMAN fans appears within the LCD when the LED backlight is activated and is also engraved on the case back, along with the word “30th” to commemorate the anniversary of the FROGMAN. Including the series key features like ISO 200-meter water resistance, Tide & Moon graphs, Dive/Log data, and a comfortable band to fit easily around the wrist or sleeve of a wetsuit, tide, making it perfect for tracking diving session logs through the CASIO WATCHES app, and much more.
