In my personal opinion, this is the best Casio Pro Trek that I have ever owned. I am a big fan of Casio Pro trek & G-shock and I just can not get them enough, even though I already have so many of them. This is one of the very best ones that I have ever owned in my life. First of all, I only paid $189.00 (when similar ones are selling at $279 or so) and I just love how easy it is to read the dial. I love the design and also it has so many useful features and functions that basically it can do it all.
I really like the Solar feature, so I do not have to change battery at all and it is big enough (47mm) for my wrist (7.4 inches) and it fits perfectly. The resin band is so comfortable (one of the most comfortable resin bands from Casio) and it uses 24mm band, so I can easily switch up with other 24mm bands.
Awesome Casio Pro trek and I have absolutely no complain what so ever.

Fins, I’m a entire Army Infantry NCO and I’m picky about what watch I wear since it has to be tough. I bought the same model as in this listing but a friend of mine really wanted it so we did a horse trade and I bought a replacement for $182 in the used/renewed category recently. This watch is very comfortable to wear and it very durable and resistant to scratches. I prefer “stand alone” technologies instead of something requiring wi-fi to access its main functions. Always having a back up compass and other features is something I love on these ABC watches. I’m in my mid 50’s and this watch doesn’t look weird or huge on my wrist as some may think. I swapped the OD green wrist band for another OD green wristband I bought off of Amazon, it’s just has a little more heft to it but the original band is perfectly fine. Like most men my age, I prefer an analog watch face with larger dials so it’s easier to read in low or, no light environments or if I’m not wearing my glasses, lol.
The lowest price for this model is on Amazon, eBay sells these for around $250-$330 which still isn’t bad but I prefer to look for a cheaper price. Once the inventory of this model are sold out, the prices will climb dramatically on re-sale websites so I suggest you get one….or two now so you can save some money in the long run since the inventory is starting to dry up. Setting and adjusting the watch is simple, the “smart dial” allows for direct time setting instead of spending a lot of time trying to find your own time zone. Next month I’m buying a PRG-650 to add to my collection of Casio Pro Treks since the price is still affordable on Amazon.
You will not be disappointed!

Too bad Amazon stopped allowing us to comment on reviews. Today’s most popular review complains about a “LOW BATT” indicator, but he also states he uses the auto-light feature that illuminates the watch with a rotation of the wrist. That is the cause, and that feature should come with a warning from Casio.
Avid outdoorsmen/boys, my sons and I all wear Casio three-in-one watches. One son’s watch went through a LOW BATT episode. Since his was identical to the one I wore at the time we tried swapped watches, but since this didn’t help, we knew it wasn’t a user issue. I compared settings and found the only difference to be the auto-light active on my son’s watch, and that turned out to be the problem. I turned it off and problem solved. We traded back and now more than a year later both watches are going strong, although mine is now strapped to the arm of another son. Those are the PRG-270 by the way, an excellent and bargain-priced watch — especially when you can find it new from Amazon for under $90, as I did back in March of 2017. I don’t know why Casio watch prices vary so much on Amazon, from Amazon as the seller.
To wit: I paid $139 for this, my PRG-600, just over a year ago in June of 2020 but today it’s listed for $189. It’s worth $189; I was shocked when I stumbled upon it at the $139 price that was not any kind of deal, lightning or otherwise.
I love this watch. It is thick and heavy, but I’m a middle-aged man who was born wearing a man’s watch, so I’m used to it. I had a Swatch back in the 80s and I’ve had an ultralight dress watch or two but honestly, give me something I can feel, something I know is on my wrist. This does that and it looks great, too, but it doesn’t scream money, so I’m not afraid to wear it in a questionable neighborhood.
Typical or not I don’t know, but my copy is not as accurate as other Casio watches I’ve had. Still, it it’s not bad. It has lost a total of 26 seconds since I bought it, including 16 seconds between the last I set it in November of 2020 and today, July 23, 2021. (I set it to an atomic clock and make a note in my phone’s calendar every time I set a watch, noting how far off it is.) This one might not be as accurate as my other Casios, but it is at least consistent. And two seconds per month isn’t bad — I’ve had much worse. When I was a kid I’d have been delighted with a watch accurate to two seconds per day.
The only other caveat for you to consider is this PRG-600 uses the stem to set time and other functions, in a process that is not intuitive. You will not be able to adapt your experience setting Casio digital watches to setting this. I cannot say whether older digital-analog watches used similar procedures because this is my first triple sensor digital-analog watch.
I suggest downloading a user’s manual from Casio’s website. It’s free, and as with any Casio watch, to get the right manual you need only the four-digit module number that’s engraved on the back of the watch. On this one it’s 5497.
Overall this is a nice watch with little to fault. Sure, it could be a bit thinner, and despite my earlier comments, a skosh lighter. I’d like it to have a feature to unblock the digital display from any mode, not just modes that require the display (maybe with a long-press of a button). And of course atomic accuracy would be nice, but that comes with an increased price I cannot justify. At this price point this watch can’t be beat.

It’s a Casio what more do you need to know!

Escribo esta reseña después de usarlo durante 24 días, todo marcha a la perfección con el reloj, después de tener una mini colección de 6 unidades de G-Shock, este es sin duda mi favorito. Por digo que mi favorito, pues para empezar el diseño fue lo que mas me atrajo en adquirió, teniéndolo en físico aun me gusto mas que en las fotos, se siente un reloj de calidad y de excelentes materiales, la caja esta compuesta por acero por la parte de la tapa de abajo del reloj, el cuerpo es de plástico pero a pesar de ser de plástico se siente solido de buena calidad, al frente como se aprecia tiene una argolla de metal y su cristal mineral. Otra de las razones que hace que sea de mis favoritos, es que la correa se puede cambiar por la que tu quieras, esto significa que lo puedes personalizar a tu gusto.
En cuanto a la funcionalidad del reloj simplemente es increíble, desde mi punto de vista lo que más me convenció de adquirirlo es que es solar, ya no me preocupare en cambios de baterías por lo menos en 10 años, ya que por lo regular a los 2 años la mayoría de relojes de cuarzo hay que remplazar. Por otro lado, el resto de funciones son muy interesantes, como lo son su triple sensor: Altímetro(te ayuda a saber la altura que te encuentras con respecto al nivel del mar), Barómetro(necesario para medir la presión atmosférica y poder hacer predicciones del clima) y Brújula (siempre marca el norte magnético del planeta), otra característica extra es que tiene termómetro(para que te de una lectura precisa hay que dejarlo por lo menos 30 minutos fuera de tu muñeca, en un sitio limpio y seco). Ya que es un reloj para aventureros o simplemente para quienes les gusta el diseño como es mi caso, es interesante tener todas esas funciones en tu muñeca.
El resto de funciones son las clásicas de un Casio: 5 alarmas, cronometro, temporizador y hora mundial. Para realizar algún ajuste en alguna de las funciones anteriormente mencionadas, es algo complicado realizarlas, porque implica usar la corona, no es muy intuitivo hacer los ajustes, tuve que leer el manual para poder hacer el correcto ajuste de hora, con la correcta zona horaria que me corresponde, esto con el fin de que la hora mundial pudiera funcionar correctamente. En mi caso disfruto de leer manuales e instructivos, hay que tener mucha paciencia para configurar correctamente el reloj. Siempre y cuando quieras sacarle el mayor provecho posible a esta herramienta.
La lectura del panel digital como el analógico es muy bueno, ya que existe la versión con display negativo, la verdad tengo una par de relojes con ese tipo de display y no me agradan tanto como los normalitos, además tiene la función Neobrite en las manecillas como en cada hora, para que mejor me entiendas el neobrite es la luz pasiva del reloj, esta tecnología absorbe la luz del ambiente para cuando entras a una habitación sin luz puedas leer el reloj analógico sin tener que usar la luz led(la clásica luz verde de las manecillas de estar en el sol y entras a una habitación sin tanta luz que traen muchos relojes analógicos). Por otro lado la iluminación led es doble, ilumina ambos paneles el analógico como el digital. Además tiene la opción de luz led automática, que se enciende solo cuando la luz ambiental es muy baja o nula y con solo levantar la muñeca.
Por ultimo al principio de la reseña decía que me agrada mas que los G-SHOCK, solo mencione una característica la cual fue la personalización de correas que no son como los G-Shock que son medidas casi únicas para cada modelo, son muy pocos los que son intercambiables y baratas. Otra cosa que me agrado mucho fue el diseño, se ve simple y sobrio. No se ve tosco como la mayoría de los Shock, además es mas casual y un poco mas formal en diseño, aunque en definitiva no es están resistente que un g-shock porque no tiene la protección de los plásticos de un G-Shock, además lo compre al 50% de descuento de su precio de lista que fue lo mejor, desde Amazon USA lo enviaron, el precio final publicado ya incluye costos de importación e IVA así que ya no hay que pagar nada extra después de hacer la compra.
En resumen:
LO BUENO es solar, sus funciones de los sensores, tiene la función de ahorro de energía, la manecilla del segundero se detiene cuando no hay luz en el ambiente, así que durante la noche no vas a escuchar el segundero, puedes comprarle correas de diferentes diseños y materiales, por último que es subjetivo para muchos el diseño(pero creo que si lo piensas comprar es porque te gusta este diseño por eso es un PRO).
LO MALO es complicado hacer ajustes como de hora, cambio de alarmas, cambio de ciudad en hora mundial, etc.

I have many (!) watches, the Pro Trek just beats them all. Next to the good look, it’s very comfortable to wear and easy to read in all light situations. It’s tough like a G-Shock, classy like a Seiko, and with it’s functions useful like a Smartwatch – but solar-powered it never needs a thought about battery life! If I could only have one watch – this is the one. The strap can be easily changed, I am extremely happy with my purchase!

This watch is big — like something Flavor Flav might hang around his neck (maybe not quite that big), but it is light weight and feels good on the wrist. The design is attractive, the dial is easy to read, and so is the LCD panel. The panel is of the “positive” type, meaning dark characters against a light background. I stay away from Casio watches with the negative digital displays. They are nearly impossible to read in anything other than bright light. I synchronized this watch to the time on the U.S. National Institute of Standards website when I got it more than one month ago and checked it against that time signal yesterday. It may have been off by one second, but that also may be because I was off by a little bit when originally setting it. I have Casio watches that use the WWVB time signal out of Ft. Collins, Colorado to synchronize every night, but given the tme keeping accuracy of this watch, the radio signal/atomic clock time setting really provides no advantage except for initially setting the time. I charged this watch in sunlight outside and also through a window for a couple of days when I first received it, and it has never dropped below a full charge just with daily wear. The band is silicon, so it is softer than the resin bands and is a bit more flexible and comfortable.
