Biomass plastics used for most parts: A digital model with a duplex LCD.

We’ve added a duplex LCD to our digital model with direct function buttons for one-push measurements. The rotating bezel, case, case back, and urethane band are made with plant-derived, renewable biomass plastics. Introducing this PRO TREK and celebrating its trailblazing progress in every direction: easy to use, easy to read, easy on the environment.

Digital compass now even more readable.

The dual-layer LCD allows compass graphics to be shown on the top layer, while the bottom layer offers a large display of the time and various measurements. We’ve also made the LCD slimmer to minimize bulk, even with the dual-layer construction.

Earth-friendly craftsmanship with biomass plastics.
The case, case back, and soft urethane band are all made with the Earth-friendly green material known as biomass plastics. Using renewable organic resources such as castor oil plants and corn helps reduce the ecological footprint. Eco-consciousness rendered in physical form, a fitting material for a real outdoor tool.

Direct function buttons for increased operability.
Measure direction, air pressure and temperature, and altitude, each one available directly from a single button. The oversized buttons feature a nonslip finish for effortless use even when wearing gloves. In addition, improved sensor placement makes the side of the case even slimmer. The buttons are easier to press now, too.

Rotating bezel and movable lug construction.
The bezel incorporates a rotating mechanism, allowing it to be used for simple orientation memory. The movable lug structure enables the watch case and band to be laid flat — handy when working with paper maps, checking where you are and where you’re going.

Triple Sensor
Digital compass, barometer/altimeter, and thermometer senses natural changes


Tough Solar powered for converting light to energy

Super Illuminator (high-brightness full-auto LED backlight) for main-taining watch readability in the dark

Multi-band 6 radio wave solar that keeps accurate time powered by light

Official Description from Casio.

From PRO TREK, a full-scale outdoor gear for nature lovers, we are introducing the PRW-3400 / 3400Y equipped with radio wave solar, which uses eco-friendly materials. Environmentally friendly biomass plastic is used while maintaining the wearability that is familiar to the arm. It is used for the case, urethane band, and resin back cover. Biomass plastic is a polymer material that contains substances derived from renewable organic resources as a raw material and is obtained by chemically or biologically synthesizing it, and is expected to reduce the environmental load toward the realization of a sound material-cycle society. It is a material that is present. Castor oil is used for the case and back cover, and corn-based biomass plastic is used for the band. A duplex LCD is used for the LCD of the watch. The duplex LCD, which separates the liquid crystal display of the azimuth display and the clock function display, enlarges the compass display, improves readability, and expresses it in a functionally beautiful design that makes it easier to understand the direction. Furthermore, the rotating bezel which is useful for simple azimuth memory is adopted.
In addition, by mounting the pressure sensor inside the case, the unevenness of the case is reduced and the buttons are easy to operate. The functional design creates an expression that is typical of outdoor gear.

The most distinctive specs of PRW-3400 *Editorial
— 100-meter water resistance
(good for swimming but not for deep diving)
Biomass plastics in the case, band, and case back (the environmentally friendly biomass plastics are produced using materials derived from castor seeds and corn, as well as other raw materials)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate)
— Low temperature resistant (stable operation of the watch is guaranteed even at a temperature of -20°C)
— Digital compass (measures and displays direction as one of 16 points)
— Thermometer (can measure and display the outside temperature in a range from -10 C to 60 C)
— Barometer (measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather)
— Altimeter (The electronic mechanism “estimates” the altitude based on the air pressure)
