If I buy this, then must get rid of my blue rangeman

Honestly speaking in terms of built quality , Rangeman is not match with Frogman series.
Rangeman uses resin case while Frogman uses machined solid stainless steel case.

Seriously if u opened up the resin bezel of your Rangeman, u will be disappointed even it's a JDM model. The whole case is resin as well. :(
Frogman either use titanium or stainless steel case for more durability.

But I would say rangeman has more functions as compared to frogman

And how do you know if a frogman is titanium or stainless steel?

Agreed with Rangeman offers more functions with those high tech sensors compared to Frogman features.
I had both Frogman and Rangeman and to be honest , I'm disappointed with the Rangeman built quality .

The Frogman caseback will engraved the type of metal it uses. But most of the recent Frogman, Casio had switched back the use of stainless steel cos they mentioned it's more easy to machine (cost cutting ba?!). Unless those special limited editions, Casio might use titanium for the housing.
Easy to know also if the Frogman is lighter, it would be likely titanium, the recent Frogman GWF-1000 series is heavy cos stainless steel.
