Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in PRW-6800!

Easy-to-read, easy-to-use.
A compass-inspired design is adopted for the second hand, which indicates the north direction when measuring direction.
By using lightweight carbon as the material and enlarging it, visibility in the outdoors is improved.
Realized the ease of viewing and ease of use of the analog compass.

Rotating stainless steel bezel.
A rotating mechanism is mounted on the bezel. By aligning the bezel with the direction to go, it can be used as a simple direction memory. Useful when driving straight toward a target point when visibility is poor due to fog or woodlands.

Target slit band for easy use with paper maps.
The band adopts a movable lug structure that can be placed flat and a design with a slit shape. When used in conjunction with a paper map, it is useful to arrange the current location and destination on a straight line and know the direction. The material used is Durasoft, which is highly comfortable to wear.

Forged metal sensor cover.
Forged metal is used for the cover parts of the built-in sensor. In addition to improving robustness, it has an appearance that is suitable for outdoor gear.


Button guard for enhanced operability.
Cut the side button guard parts diagonally. Prevents erroneous operation when touching the back of the hand while maintaining the ease of pressing.

Fully automatic double LED light that ensures visibility in dark places

Triple sensor that senses changes in nature
(Azimuth, barometric pressure/altitude, temperature measurement)

RADIO WATCH TECHNOLOGY.
The advantages of radio-controlled watches are obvious: Once they have been set to the relevant time zone, they always display the exact local time. All CASIO radio watches receive signals almost anywhere in Europe. Some models even receive signals in North America, parts of Canada and Mexico (the radio tower in Fort Collins sends signals for a radius of up to 3200 km) and even in Japan or China. In Europe, the change from summer to winter time is also completely automatic.
