Representative of the ProTrek travel line with top-end functionality for backpackers. The display protects the durable steel bezel – you can forget about scuffs, and the case looks more powerful due to the metal. The ribbed structure of the buttons helps you to press them easily and quickly even with coarse gloves. Ana-DJ display speaks of the “technological” PRW-6000 – here the module is even more advanced in contrast to digital counterparts. We are talking about a smart crown, Smart Access, which greatly simplifies access to the functionality of the watch. A triple sensor for environmental performance – barometer / altimeter, thermometer and compass. The time is automatically corrected by a signal from the radio towers, and the solar battery allows you to use the watch for a very long time without fear of battery discharge. Tough Movement technology will automatically correct the position of the arrows in case of their incorrect movement. On the back of the strap there are special inserts for a more accurate fit of the wrist. There is also a basic set of features – a timer, an alarm clock, a stopwatch and world clock.

The most distinctive specs of PRW-6000 *Editorial
— 100-meter water resistance (good for swimming but not for deep diving)
— Low temperature resistant (stable operation of the watch is guaranteed even at a temperature of -20°C)
— Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— 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)
— Smart Access (the system for analogue movements achieves multi-functionality and easy operability simultaneously through a combination of multiple motors and an electronic crown)
— Tough Movement (A CASIO-original thin analog movement made possible by hybrid mounting protects against damage and enables auto home position correction that helps keep you on time all the time)

Official Marketing Focus from Casio
New addition to the PRO TREK lineup of analog-digital Triple Sensor Version 3 models.
In addition to sensors for taking bearing, altitude, and barometric pressure readings, the wearer is alerted to significant changes in barometric pressure by a beeper alarm and by an indicator on the digital display.
An auto hand shift feature momentarily moves hands away from digital readouts when you check displayed readings, to make them easier to see. Other features include a dual LED illumination system for the face and digital display, Smart Access, Tough Solar, radio-controlled timekeeping and more. Everything about these watches is designed and engineered to make them the ultimate in ease of operation and reliability.
All this multi-functionality is packed into a 12.8 mm slim configuration.

You ask, we answer…
CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power.
It’s the electronic mechanism that “estimates” the altitude based on the air pressure.
It measures and displays direction as one of 16 points.
It measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather.
