Field Report: 2022 Casio Pro Trek PRG-340

O ne of Casio’s classic outdoor tool watches returns with its signature triple-sensor design, in an all-new environmentally friendly biomass plastic case.

Designed to assist with navigation wherever your treks may take you — no mobile phone required. The new  Pro Trek PRG-340 collection features the usual timekeeping functions found on most multi-function Casio wristwatches, such as hour, minute, second, AM/PM, month, date, and day — plus an advanced digital altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass — and additional features (listed below), all housed in a sustainable biomass plastic case, and a solar-powered Japanese quartz movement accurate to -/+ 15 seconds per month.

There are three models available: the PRG340-1 (black with orange accents), PRG340-3 (dark green with yellow accents), and PRG340T-7 (gray titanium with black accents). For this test, conducted both in the field, at multiple outdoor locations, as well as in the studio, Casio loaned us the black and orange PRG340-1 model.

Field Report

For this field report, I chose a short hike at Lookout Mountain Park, which is relatively easy compared to Loveland Pass . Lookout Mountain, in spite of its name, is technically a foothill. Situated on the eastern flank of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, Lookout Mountain is located 1.7-miles West-Southwest of Golden, Colorado, and approximately 30-minutes by car from Downtown Denver. It’s a nice quick escape from the city. With a 2,000-foot change in altitude from Denver which is 5,280 feet at Capital Hill, the air is far cleaner than in the city, however, on this particular bright sunny November day, the temperature was in the low 70s, just like Denver. The mountain air was incredibly fresh and invigorating and the temperature was perfect.

Eco-Friendly Case

The Pro Trek PRG-340 is offered in a 51.7 mm x 15.1 mm biomass plastic case, with a biomass caseback and biomass strap (except for the PRG340T-7 which has a biomass case, caseback, and a titanium bracelet). The Pro Trek PRG-340 watch has a lug-to-lug length of 54.7 mm and a lug width of 23 mm. The biomass plastic straps are non-tapered, while the titanium bracelet tapers down from the lugs to the clasp.

Biomass plastic is made with organic resources such as plant-derived castor oil plants and corn, which reduces the ecological footprint and is Earth-friendly. According to Casio, “Biomass plastics are polymers produced using the chemical or biological synthesis of materials sourced from plant matter or other renewable organic substances and are widely thought to help reduce environmental impact and promote the shift to a circular economy.”

While there are no crowns, large dedicated buttons, that can be operated even with gloves, provide an ergonomic way to interact with this tool watch. Offering further utility is a movable lug design that enables the watch case and band to be laid flat, and that’s useful when working with paper maps, checking where you are and where you’re going. This movable lug structure also makes the watch sit more ergonomically on the wrist. And while the thinner design of the case enhances the comfort as well, do note that the 54.7 mm lug-to-lug measurement results in a profile that will go over the edges of the top of your wrist, although for a tool watch, this is not unusual.

Four screws secure the caseback. Another four screws are placed at the corners of the watch on the front side, although it’s not clear if they’re functional screws. Visible screws on the caseback are relatively common, however, on the front, they seemingly take away from the aesthetics, although the designers may have been going for an industrial look.

A mineral crystal, which is set below the plane of the bezel (armored), protects the dial. There are openings on the left side of the case, which are required to take the barometric pressure and temperature readings, however, no water gets in thanks to a water-resistant membrane. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters.

Triple-Sensor

Like with the Mudmaster GWG2000-1A that we tested in-depth last year at Loveland Pass and in Denver, the ability to measure direction, air pressure, temperature, and altitude are all available via direct buttons. This is done with three sensors: a pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, and a thermo sensor built into the watch. The compass uses a magnetic sensor. Altimeter readings are based on the pressure sensor (conversion of air pressure reading to altitude reading based on ISA values). And when the user enters the Barometer/Thermometer mode, the watch utilizes both the pressure sensor and thermo sensor. Compared to the aforementioned Mudmaster, the screen on the Pro Trek PRG-340 is all-digital (versus analog-digital), not to mention the screen is much larger, and the buttons are knurled for slip resistance, and located all on one side of the case, making them easier to access.

Solar Powered

Unlike some earlier Pro Trek models, this version has the convenience of solar power. Sunlight enters through solar cells on the translucent perimeter dial, automatically recharging the battery-powered quartz movement. Once fully charged, the watch can operate autonomously, without any light, for up to 7 months while being used, or up to 27 months if not being used while in power save mode.

Digital Compass

Casio upgraded its latest Pro Trek with a dual-layer LCD that uses separate layers to display the compass graphic, simultaneously with the time and various measurements, allowing for a larger compass display, better legibility, and easier navigation in a design that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing. In conjunction, with the digital compass, which bases its reading on a magnetic sensor built-in to the watch, uses three reverse pointer-shaped hands to mark true North and single pointers to mark East, South, and West, there’s a bi-directional rotating bezel with compass markings that can be quickly aligned with the digital compass points to continuously mark your direction as you move.

The rotating bezel moves very easily, without a firm click as you find on a typical dive watch. Though even without the safety of a clicked bezel, once positioned, the bezel always stayed in place for me, which was reassuring in spite of the minimal effort required to move it. I did not get a chance to test rotating the bezel with gloves on, but it’s presumably designed to be operated without or without gloves, just like the three sensor buttons are oversized so as to be easily operated with or without gloves on.

Digital Altimeter

Altimeter readings are based on the watch’s built-in pressure sensor (which converts an air pressure reading to an altitude reading based on ISA values). You can use the digital altimeter to take an altitude reading at your current location. You can also record the altitude, along with the date and time measurement. And you can measure the altitude differential between two points. Further, the bar chart above the altimeter readout shows your change in altitude.

Barometer/Thermometer

When using the Barometer/Thermometer mode, the watch utilizes both the pressure sensor and thermo sensor. You can display the current barometric pressure at the press of a button, which can alert you to noteworthy pressure changes. Using the “BARO” button simultaneously gives you an air temperature reading just below the larger barometric reading on the dial. The temperature can be measured down to as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point anything colder will register an “error” message. However, even if the temperature function stops working, most of the other watch functions should continue to work.

Additional Functions

The Pro Trek PRG-340 series offers World time with 31 time zones (48 cities + coordinated universal time), daylight saving on/off, Stopwatch with 1/10th of a second accuracy, with a measuring time of up to 1,000 hours, and it can run in three models (elapsed time, split time, 1st-2nd place times), Alarm 5 daily alarms (with 1 snooze alarm), Hourly time signal which can be turned on/off, Mute feature allows you to turn button operation tone on/off, Battery level indicator lets you monitor how much battery power is remaining, Timer Countdown timer that’s accurate to 1-second, with a countdown range of 24 hours, and start time setting range between 1 minute to 24 hours (1-minute increments and 1-hour increments), Light LED backlight (Super Illuminator) Full auto LED light, selectable illumination duration (1.5 seconds or 3 seconds), afterglow , Calendar Full auto-calendar (to the year 2099), Energy Saving mode Power Saving (display goes blank to save power when the watch is left in the dark), 12/24 Hour Format allows you to display either regular or military time, Sunrise/Sunset indicator lets you know precisely when sunrise and sunset will occur each day.

For full details about every function of the Pro Trek PRG-340, there’s a 34-page Operation Guide .

Getting out in nature always seems to be a positive experience and the moment I felt the incredibly clean mountain air at 7,200+ feet, I remembered, viscerally, why we need to reduce the use of anything bad for the environment.

Powering the Pro Trek with sunlight is one way of reducing the ecological footprint. The other is by manufacturing products with sustainable plant-derived products such as this biomass case.

Not only is the product green, and more feature-rich than its predecessors, but Casio has also delivered a slimmer more ergonomic watch, with an all-new dual-layer display that greatly enhances legibility.

The triple-sensor design makes the Pro Trek an excellent purpose-built tool, however, while the dedicated three-button layout is great for directly accessing the altimeter, compass, and barometer — accessing the chronograph, for instance, is not as easy as with other Casio watches. That said while hiking at Lookout Mountain, all I wanted to know was what time is it, if a storm is coming, which direction am I facing, and what altitude am I at, and this did that with ease, even with a camera in one hand the entire time.

The solar-powered Japanese quartz movement is super accurate and ultra-reliable, however, while the self-powered movement is convenient, the lack of phone connectivity means the watch can operate without a phone, which means it’s both autonomous and lets you better connect with nature. You will have to set the time on this one yourself, which compared to a Bluetooth or Atomic radio-controlled timepiece, is an extra step, but it’s probably worth it considering it will still remain accurate to -/+15 seconds per month — and most importantly you can ditch the phone.

Casio and Mammut collaborate on new adventure watch for hikers and climbers

The new Pro Trek PRW-61MA-1A is a tough watch made with biomass plastics, and printed with an alpine pattern

Casio has collaborated with outdoor gear maker Mammut to make a new Pro Trek watch for hikers and climbers.

Like other watches in the Pro Trek range, the new Casio Pro Trek PRW-61MA has a solid (but not oversized) case made from biomass plastic, which is derived from castor beans and corn oil rather than petroleum. It comes with a choice of woven and urethane bands, both of which are also made from more sustainable materials.

The woven strap is made from recycled polyurethane bottles, and decorated with a wintry alpine print, while the black urethane band is made of the same type of biomass plastic as the case.

As Casio fan site G-Central reports, the watch also features blaze orange on the hands, dial, buttons, and other elements for visibility outdoors. The bezel is made from brushed stainless steel with a black ion-plated finish.

Continuing the outdoor theme, there's solar charging to extend battery life. This isn't a GPS watch, so it's able to operate for around six months on a full charge using all functions without solar charging, or 25 months with solar charging.

It's water resistant to 100 meters, and according to Casio is built to operate at temperatures down to -10°C/14°F. Features include Casio's triple sensor (barometer, altimeter, and thermometer), plus world time, auto hand position, and double LED backlight.

The watch will be available next month in Japan for ¥64,900 (around $450) and international launch details are expected soon.

Pro Trek PRW-51FC-1 and PRW-61FC-1 are deluxe models with sapphire crystal and composite band, PRW-51Y-1 is a standard model with resin band

Casio is launching three new Pro Trek models in January 2023: two deluxe models with a sapphire crystal and a field composite band made of biomass plastics and a metal frame, PRW-51FC-1 and PRW-61FC-1 , and the standard PRW-51Y-1 with a resin band.

The PRW-51 and PRW-61 are moderately-sized Pro Trek watches with a case and back cover made of biomass plastics. They are equipped with Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 auto radio time correction, and the Triple Sensor (altimeter-barometer, compass, thermometer). Both series are water-resistant to 100 meters. Other features include 1/100 stopwatch (24 hours), 60-minute countdown timer, 5 daily alarms, full auto-calendar, full auto double LED light, 12/24-hour format, and hand shift. The altimeter has a 30-record manual memory (with date, time, and altitude) and auto-log data (with high/low altitudes, cumulative ascent and descent).

Standard (non-“FC”) models are equipped with mineral glass instead of sapphire. The PRW-51 and PRW-61 have the same functions, with the main differences being the style of the dial (numerical versus non-numerical) and slightly different dimensions and weights. Also, the PRW-51 has the Neon Illuminator blacklight LED, while the PRW-61 series has the Super Illuminator high-brightness LED.

The PRW-51Y-1, with a yellow second hand and non-inverted LCD display, appears to be positioned as a standard model, as the first and only PRW-51 release until now was the limited edition PRW-51NJ-1 collaboration.

These three models were announced for Japan, but it’s possible that some or all will get a wider release. The PRW61-1A has been a popular model in the U.S., thanks to its discounted availability on Amazon. The first PRW-51 model (PRW-51NJ-1) was not released in the U.S. or Europe.

Please note: Pro Trek watches are not G-Shock, but are made by the same company (Casio).

15 Best Casio Pro Trek Watches of 2022

Best GPS Watches l G-Shocks Under $100 l  Red G-Shock Watches

By: Rome / Last Updated August 18, 2022

Casio Pro Trek Outdoor Watches

Casio Pro Trek watches are designed for outdoor activities such as backpacking, hiking, camping, RVing, exploring and pretty much anything you can do outside. Similar to the G-Shock line of watches, they feature Triple Sensor, Solar power, Multi-Band and other useful features that assist with outdoor exploration. It would be hard to find a better ABC watch that can handle as much as the Casio Pro Trek line of watches.

Casio Pro Trek Watches Compared to G-Shocks

You may notice that many Casio Pro Trek watches cost less than high-end G-Shocks. This is a great feature for those who want a Triple Sensor watch that has an altimeter-barometer, compass and thermometer, but don’t want to pay a small fortune to get it. 

It’s important to note the Pro Trek line of watches aren’t as shock resistant as G-Shocks . They aren’t rated to handle extreme impact the same way a G-Shock can, but they’re still extremely tough and can handle outdoor adventures the same. You can also swim and dive with a Casio Pro Trek, same as a G-Shock. 

If you’re looking for a tough ABC watch (altimeter-barometer, compass, thermometer) that can handle all environmental conditions and gives you access to a ton of outdoor features, the Casio Pro Trek line of watches will suit you. 

Best Watch for Hikers

Casio Pro Trek watches are incredibly tough ABC watches that are perfect for hiking, biking, backpacking, camping and other outdoor activities. The best watch for hikers is one that has superb time-keeping abilities and can give you accurate readings anywhere in the world. Casio Pro Trek watches are known as some of the best in the business and you can get a great watch for a fraction of the cost of other leading brands.

The Casio Pro Trek tough solar watches will power through and keep your watch fully functioning at all times.

Here are 3 Reasons Why You Need a Casio Pro Trek:

• They’re extremely rugged 
• They the perfect ABC watch: Altimeter, Barometer, Compass and Thermometer
• They look great and keep perfect time

It also has Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping that receives calibration radio signals to keep your time accurate. It also features Tough Solar that utilizes sunlight to keep your watch battery charged at all times. 

We think the Casio Pro Trek PW-6600Y is one of the best all-around outdoor watches on the market due to the atomic timekeeping, water resistance, triple sensor and overall aesthetics of this watch.

Casio Pro Trek Stainless Steel PRW-3510Y

The PRW-3510Y Pro Trek is one of the most sought after watches for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s stainless steel construction is tough enough for any adventure and the resin strap is a comfortable fit even while sweating.

Overall, this is a great Casio Pro Trek for those who want everything in a watch and enjoy having plenty of features for the great outdoors. 

Casio Pro Trek PRT-B50 Bluetooth Connected Sport Watch

The Casio Pro Trek PRT-B50 is the perfect watch for those who like adventure, but also want a refined watch that can be worn to work or in casual settings.

This is a tough watch that’s water-resistant up to 100M and has a mineral glass that lasts forever.

You get tons of great watch functions with the PAG240T Pathfinder watch that can help you at the office or in the woods. The full auto LED backlight with afterglow fully illuminates the digital display so you can see the time with a quick glance even at night.

It has all of the ABC watch functions such as a digital compass, barometer, thermometer and altimeter. This watch can operate in low temperatures and is 200M water-resistant. You can take this outdoor watch on an adventure and not worry about it. 

This Casio Pro Trek features a tide graph that gives you the tide level for a specific day and moon data that includes a moon phase graph that’s handy for many outdoor activities. The multi-band atomic timekeeping gives you accurate time anywhere in the world and the large display is easy to read and understand. 

The altimeter on this ABC watch has a range from -700 m to 10,000 m which is plenty for most users. It also has manual memory measurements up to 14 records which you can use to track your progress. We like this Casio Pro Trek model because it encompasses everything you would need in an outdoor watch.

The Casio Pro Trek PRG-270-1 is a great watch that features Tough Solar, Triple Sensor and is incredibly tough and rugged.

A solar power watch is a great investment because you likely spend a substantial time outside.

There are various styles and types of Casio Pro Treks, so you will have to do some research to figure out what you need in a watch.

Pro Trek Versus G-Shock – Which is Better?

You may be wondering which is better between the famous G-Shock or Pro Trek. One way to break down this comparison is that both watches excel outdoors, but there are some noticeable differences between the two. 

G-Shocks are known for their toughness and are great for daily use, especially if you work with your hands. They’re also great if you play sports that could rough up a regular watch. G-Shocks aren’t too expensive and you can easily find models that work for you. 

Casio Pro Trek is a line of outdoor capable watches that are perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, backpacking, fishing and exploring. Pro Treks excel at outdoor expeditions due to the numerous functions they provide. 

If you plan on using your watch to guide you through the wilderness – Casio Pro Trek may be your best bet. If you’re looking for a tough-as-nails watch for everyday use – Casio G-Shocks may be your best bet. 

You won’t go wrong with either choice as they are both amazingly built and perfect for the great outdoors. 

Are Pro Treks as Tough as G-Shocks?

G-Shocks are the tanks of the watch world. They’re tougher than just about any other watch on the market, including Pro Trek watches. Casio G-Shocks are specifically designed to take a beating and are extremely durable. Pro Treks are incredibly tough outdoor watches as well, but not quite on the same level as a G-Shock. 

G-Shocks have stronger water resistance at 200m as compared to Pro Treks at 100m, but that’s not a huge factor for most users. In fact, it’s probably safe to say neither of us will be diving beyond 100m anytime soon. Pro Treks are tough enough for pretty much any outdoor trek or expedition you can imagine. 

Also, many Pro Treks have large displays even though they may not be as big as G-Shocks overall. They’re also flatter than G-Shocks. These are all factors that should be used when choosing between the two. 

Are Casio Pro Trek Watches Solar Powered? 

Yes, Casio Pro Treks have Tough Solar which uses UV rays to extend your watch battery’s life. Outdoor watches have a lot of power-draining functions and a solar-powered battery keeps those systems running. You get much more runtime from you watch with Casio’s Tough Solar option. 

Are Casio Pro Treks Water Resistant?

Yes, Casio Pro Trek watches are water-resistant up to 100m. While they probably wouldn’t be your first choice for a professional dive watch, they do quite well in water. You can wear them while you shower, swim and do water sports with no issue. 

How Much Does a Casio Protrek Watch Cost?

Casio Pro Trek watches come in a wide variety of styles, types and configurations. You can get Pro Treks with tons of outdoor features made with silicone straps, stainless steel and other materials. Prices range from $150 up to over $550 for models with more features. Casio Pro Treks are well-known for providing you with the best features for outdoor use and are worth every penny. 

What is the Difference Between a Pathfinder and a ProTrek?

You’ve probably heard of Casio ProTreks and Casio Pathfinders while researching the best outdoor watches. So what’s the difference between the two? The two watches are essentially the same watch made by Casio. These are known as Casio’s ABC line of outdoor watches. ABC stands for Altimeter, Barometer and Compass.
