46 mm is a wall clock, mate
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ·
I wanted to like this one. The Frogman's big feature is the screw-down crown guard, a clamp that locks over the crown so nothing gets in and nothing gets knocked. That's a genuinely useful bit of design for anyone who spends time climbing in and out of boats, and it's not just theatre.
Titanium case, 300 m, H-10 movement with 80 hours, rubber strap, $1,295 to $1,395. All good.
But 46 mm. And 14.4 mm thick. Titanium keeps the weight down, but there's no hiding the footprint. On my wrist, which is not small, it looks like I've strapped a dive computer on. On most people it'll overhang.
If you've got a big wrist and you like the clamp, it's a lot of watch for the money. Everyone else, look at the Mido or the Certina for similar cash.
