Casio Pro Trek PRW-B1000B-2 has been announced in Japan and is set to launch in April 2026. The model takes design cues from Yosemite National Park and is built for outdoor use with a focus on durability, navigation, and safety.
The watch is part of the Pro Trek PRW-B1000 Climber Line. It runs on Tough Solar power, which converts sunlight and indoor light into energy for stable operation. It supports Multi Band 6 radio signals and Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, so it always shows the correct time.
It comes with a triple sensor system that measures direction, barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature. The digital compass uses the second hand to indicate north. A location indicator helps with navigation. The small hand at 3 o’clock points toward a saved location, and the LCD shows the distance from the current position. Users can record a location directly from the watch, which helps when returning during a hike or locating a parked vehicle. It is also water resistant up to 100 m and can operate in low temperatures down to -10°C.
When paired with a smartphone app, the watch can automatically correct altitude data, record routes, and show directions to a destination. It also supports route log tracking for activity records.
The design reflects Yosemite’s rocky terrain. The stainless steel bezel has a sharp, multi-sided structure with slits at the corners that represent cracks in rock surfaces. The dial has a layered design for added depth. Large hands and three-dimensional indices improve readability. The small hand at 9 o’clock is shaped like a climbing piton, referencing climbing gear from the 1970s. Large metal buttons and a crown make it easier to operate the watch while wearing gloves.
The case uses flame-retardant biomass plastic and meets UL94 V-0 certification. This means it will stop burning when the flame source is removed and helps reduce fire spread. The band is made from CORDURA re/cor material, which is lightweight, durable, and made from recycled waste. It is also flame-resistant, reducing the risk of damage from sparks during camping or cooking.
The watch is priced at ¥89,100, which is about $561. It is also listed on Casio’s global website, which suggests a wider international release could follow.
