Casio is bringing a new version of its Pro Trek watch to the US market. The PRJB001EX-1, which originally launched in Japan earlier this year, is a digital-analog hybrid watch designed specifically for camping and hiking. It is available to purchase now for $220.
Design Details
Instead of focusing on advanced smartwatch features or health tracking, this model offers practical features designed for outdoor use. The watch comes with a fabric strap that includes a small built-in pocket for storing items such as a house key or folded cash.
The strap also features a reversible design, allowing users to fold it over the watch face to protect the glass from scratches when not in use. It can also be attached to a carabiner, making it easy to hang the watch from a backpack or inside a tent instead of wearing it on the wrist.
To deal with accidental button presses, a common issue when wearing heavy jackets or carrying gear, the watch has a rotating bezel. You can turn the bezel to physically block the side buttons, and then rotate it back when you actually need to press them.
The watch case measures 50.3 x 46 x 13.6 mm and weighs 51 grams. Both the case and the bezel are made from a bio-based resin. For durability, it includes 100-meter water resistance and can operate in temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius.
It runs on Casio’s Tough Solar charging system, offering up to seven months of battery life on a full charge without additional light exposure. Battery life can extend to 18 months with power-saving mode enabled.
It also has Bluetooth to connect to the Casio Watches phone app. This link provides automatic time syncing across 38 time zones, a phone finder tool, and a Time & Place button that logs your current location and time into the app.
Additionally, the watch comes with a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 60-minute countdown timer, five daily alarms, and a double LED light for improved visibility in the dark. It also features a hand-shift function that temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way for a clearer view of the digital display.
In related news, Casio has recently launched the pastel pink G-Shock GMA-S2100PR-4A in India, alongside the new Baby-G BGD-10KPM-7 Pop Mart watch that doubles as a bag charm.
