In January, Casio had announced the Casio Pro Trek WSD-F20 smartwatch running on Android Wear 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017. It is a rugged smartwatch that comes with MIL-STD-810G rating that can withstand harsh climatic conditions. Casio has now announced its new and powerful edition called Casio Pro Trek WSD-F20S smartwatch that is built for outdoor activities.
The WSD-F20S Casio smartwatch is a limited-edition model as the company has planned to produce only 500 units. It is fundamentally the same smartwatch as WSD-F20, but it now comes with some advanced rugged features.
The Casio Pro Trek WSD-F20S comes in a refreshed black case decked with blue elements and it is flanked with a sapphire glass display. The buttons, screen, buckle and free loop of the smartwatch is fortified with ion plating. The strap of the WSD-F20S has a semi-glossy appearance. These premium features have been added to the smartwatch to make it a scratch-resistant luxurious timepiece. Apart from these changes, its other specs are same as the original model.
