There is a new all-digital Master of G watch available and it is the top of the line all-digital G-Shock. The G-Shock Frogman GWF-D1000 is a June 2016 release. The initial models include the GWF-D1000-1JF, the GWF-D1000B-1JF, and the GWF-D1000K-7JR Love The Sea And The Earth 2016 limited edition model.
Update: Casio America announced the GWFD1000B-1 with a list price of $1,050.
The major new features of the GWF-D1000 are a depth meter sensor to gauge diving depth, a sapphire crystal for improved scratch resistance, a compass bearing sensor that works underwater, a thermometer to measure water temperature, and a carbon fiber insert band. Like the previous GWF-1000 model, the GWF-D1000 has Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping, and tide and moon age data. The new model maintains the Frogman’s tradition of superior build quality with a stainless steel case and a screw-lock case back with DLC coating. Though it differs from the usual Triple Sensor-equipped (pressure sensor, compass, thermometer) G-Shocks, this Frogman is also billed as a Triple Sensor watch with its water depth gauge, compass, and thermometer. Unlike other G-Shocks with a compass sensor (except for the GWN-Q1000 Gulfmaster), this one has automatic horizontal compensation. The GWF-D1000 also has a Time Stamp function that can store 20 time stamp records of water depth, water temperature, and compass bearing. The Frogman line, first released in 1993, is G-Shock’s signature diving watch and is the only G-Shock line with 200-meter water resistance that is ISO-compliant.
The GWF-D1000-1JF has silver accents and a red Frogman logo, while the GWF-D1000B-1JF has a blue ion plating on the front screws and sensor and a blue subdisplay ring and Frogman logo. The underside of the bands of the GWF-D1000B-1JF is also blue.
The dimensions of the GWF-D1000 are 59.2 x 53.3 x 18.0 mm which is slightly larger than the GWF-1000 (58.3 x 52.8 x 18.0 mm) and the weight is 141 grams. Retail list price for the GWF-D1000-1JF is ¥125,000 JPY (~$1,098 USD). The GWF-D1000B-1JF and GWF-D1000K-7JR are ¥130,000 JPY (~$1,142 USD).

Hello when will this new frogman get released in the USA?
The GWFD1000B-1 is a July 2016 release in the USA.
How come this model cannot be found in G-Shock’s website anywhere?
Yeah it seems to be missing from gshock.com. It should be on there since the GWFD1000B-1 is a U.S. release. http://www.casio.com/news/content/CASIO_G-SHOCK_REVEALS_MASTER_OF_G_FROGMAN_TIMEPIECE_FOR_THE_SUMMER/
What about a navy mixed gas divers watch, EOD divers watch, special boat unit watch
I love the frogman and plan to buy the GWF1000-1 next week, bit would never pay over a $1000 for the new GWFD1000B-1! That is too much for a digital watch, so I will have to wait for a few years and hope the price drops really low.
Hi, I live in malaysia. Why I can’t sync my gwf? I’ve follow the instructions but still can’t sync. please help me. TQ
Multi-Band 6 doesn’t work in Malaysia. To sync the time there, you need a G-Shock with GPS timekeeping or Bluetooth mobile link.
