This will be a two part review. One, the watch itself and two, Ippo Japan Watch.
Do you know that feeling where you want something for a long time, finally get it and it's disappointing? That's not what this monster watch is. It is everything I wanted it to be and even better. This is the king of the Frog. Compared to my old AnaFrog (GWF-A1000) this watch is superior for my dollar in every respect. The weight is a comfortable heft, the size is perfect for my nearly 8 inch wrist, the standard G-Shock functions are improved by easy to use buttons and a large, clear positive display that's easy to read. It functions like every other G-shock, but in that handsome Frogman case, made in Japan with obvious competence and pride. The strap is long and comfortable despite its rugged carbon-fiber reinforced construction. I have no critiques or complaints about this watch, it's the perfect representation of everything I love about Japanese engineering and manufacturing. It's tough, practical, usable, and excellent at its intended and even perhaps some unintended purposes. 10/10 on this watch. If you understand what this is and suspect it will meet your expectations I surmise it will exceed them. It did for me.
Ippo Japan Watch, I wouldn't hesitate one bit to do business with this fine outfit again. I wanted the mighty D1000 Frog for years, and I was able to find a brand new unit from Ippo Japan Watch for a great price with great service and amazingly fast shipping. Should I desire another impressive timepiece built with the quality and attention to detail only the Japanese can deliver, Ippo Japan Watch is where I start and likely stop. Thank you for your great service, you do the esteemed reputation of your country great honor in the service you provide.
