Casio ProTrek: The Ultimate Watch

I recently acquired a Casio ProTrek PRT-40 and I must say that this is the ultimate multi-function watch for those who love the outdoor. The ProTrek series is one of the top of the line Casio releases tested to withstand not only just rain or shine but storms and deserts.

Casio has been making watches for such a long time and the ProTrek series is definitely one of their best in both aesthetics and functionality.

I have dreamed of acquiring a ProTrek series since I made my first mountain climb years ago, as it comes handy to know your precise bearing and location, predict weather conditions and know the current altitude of the climb.

The Casio ProTrek provides all this with it’s built in triple sensor capability offering current and recorded information on air pressure, altitude and temperature as well as the built-in magnetic sensor giving directional information.

It’s just perfect.
