Casio has confirmed that the new G-Shock MRG-BF1000RG-3A Goliath Frogman watch will be released in the UK with a high price tag. This model leaked earlier this year and is already confirmed to be launching in Japan in the near future. Features include Dive Mode, Bluetooth connectivity and Tough Solar charging.

The Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000RG-3A Goliath Frogman watch is officially coming to the UK. This model was leaked earlier in 2025 and was recently listed on the brand’s site in Japan, pointing to a May launch in this market.

A recent product listing at the G-Shock UK store confirms that the MRG-BF1000RG-3A will launch in this country. It also reveals a £4,400 (~$5,838) RRP, making it the cheapest MRG-BF1000 series watch in this market; the MRG-BF1000R-1A and MRG-BF1000B-1A are priced at £4,500 (~$5,971) and £5,200 (~$6,900), respectively. 

The specifications of the new Goliath Frogman have already been confirmed. The premium watch has a titanium casing, measuring 56.0 x 49.7 x 18.6 mm (~2.2 x 2.0 x 0.7 inches), accompanied by a khaki Dura Soft fluoro rubber band. Other design features include a screw-lock crown and case back, as well as sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating.

The watch can display world time, with users able to toggle between two selected time zones. With Dive Mode, you can track your dive times and surface intervals or check the tide graph. Other features include a daily alarm, a 1-second stopwatch, and Bluetooth to connect your smartphone for an app-based diving log and other tools. Plus, the watch has a Super Illuminator backlight, Tough Solar charging and is water resistant to 200 m. 

It is unclear when the Casio G-Shock MRG-BF1000RG-3A Goliath Frogman watch will launch in the UK, with the product listing stating it is “coming soon”. Potential customers can sign up to receive email notifications surrounding the release. Whether this model will also be launched in the US or in EU countries remains to be seen.
