I had the 3510 with negative display and silver bezel. Loved everything about it, especially the STN display. Sadly, the case cracked when I dropped it. I'm used to my G-Shocks being damn near indestructible, so it was pretty disappointing to see the 3510 go down after just a 4 foot drop onto my hardwood floor. I returned it and got a GXW-56-1BJF, instead. Nice review, mate!
Thank you so much! I want to give my boyfriend a nice Xmas gift and I wasn’t too sure the difference in all the Casio watches. He works in construction so I don’t want it to break easily either. Your reviews helped me a lot.
The 3510y is a stunner of a watch. Amazon had this on sale for $160 last month and I bought one just because it looked cool. It's now become one of my favorite watches that I own. I love the negative display, features, and overall looks, it's just awesome.
Thanks for the video! I have the 3510 and I think it’s cool too. The band is AWESOME! I have 4 other Casios and it’s my favorite band. So comfortable from the start, no break in necessary. I have a Mudmaster, that band was very influential in my decision making but the band is not as comfortable. My first negative display watch. Very happy with my purchase. I rarely find someone to talk about watches and their features. That’s what’s great about you tube and watch videos, I get to hear from others who are as enthusiastic about watches too.
Great review, thanks. I was 99% certain I was going to get one, but now it's 100%. I appreciate the step-by-step explanation of the common use features. Cheers!
Hey man! Great review! Could you comment please how durable is the paint of the rotating bezel? Does it come off easily or is it easily scratchable?? TIA!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching. My wrist size is around 7.5-8". Functionally I think the 9400 is better but only if you get the positive display version.
This was a beautiful video and good comparision from you Simucom,that 3500T was always been a outdoor king. That's not a tool watch,or a diver,or a military watch,that's all-in-one watch. One of the best Protreks ever made,without any doubt,that's the grandfather of every Protrek today. That watch don't need to be cheaper,it needs to be more expensive. Please Simucom,triple sensor,titanium,solar charging,multiband....and you want it cheaper? :-) No way...Off course it's not for a smaller wrist,who needs a smaller Protrek he can buy a PRW60 climber line,there's a Protrek for everybody. Nice job Simucom,and very nice watches.
Nothing wrong for it to be cheaper. Cheaper price is better because it's much more affordable. Especially in today's times when half the population is out of work and unemployed. people always look for good deals on these overpriced Pro treks.
Lowest I found the 3510 was on Amazon for $224 but I had a $100 gift card that I had in the bank so the 3510 for $125 and tax? Had to do it. Haven't bought a watch in about 6 years (G Shock GW-A1100 still going strong) but I just had the itch. I think between this and the G shock, I'm set for life!
This PRW 3500 THIS WAS NOT IN PRODUCTION NOW... I AM LOOKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL..Titanium Metal Strap its lighter.. you felt not wearing a time piece in your wrist..
Just bought the PRW-3510Y and it looks sick! It looks like i should be on the arm of a special forces guy. I've got both black and olive green Rangeman too but my new Casio is on my wrist atm. So between the PRW-3510Y and the Rangeman which do you prefer mate?
Oooh that's a hard one because they both look so good. I would have to go with the PRW just because my negative display Rangeman is so hard to see. If I had a positive display Rangeman then I would have to give it to the Rangeman (and that's purely cosmetic. I think functionally they are both great)
@@degenerateWA Nice! Yeah, it's a tough call as I've got all three! I love the olive green Rangeman but as you said the black one has a better screen but the STN display on the PRW blows them away is awesome. I've been using my PRW as my primary watch due to being in the Australian Defence Force ADF. Cheers mate...
I'm looking for a comparison, for now I know that the prw 35 is made for smaller hand and is light weight at 50 grams and has biomass plastic back. Also the compass bezel doesn't rotate I think.
@@CD6GLL ive never used the PRW-30, but my 35 is a little heavier than my casio royale, it has plastic back and look smaller than most protreks. Also it goes well with any occasion - sports, mountaineering, even weddings...... I wouldn't wear those huge rugged g-shock and protreks in a wedding.
Excellent review, mate! I'm in the market for a 3510y. My major concern, as echoed by others here, is the negative display. The G-Shocks I've had with negative displays were awful, but the one on your 3510y looks amazing. I think I'm sold. Thanks for the review!!
I own the 3510y and the screen is the best I've seen for a negative display. The looks of this watch is badass, the green and black combo is stunning. Defintely one of my favorites.
My 3510-1JF was delivered a few days ago. It looks pretty damn good. Mine has a black case/strap and silver bezel. I'm very pleased with the STN negative display. Big improvement over the G-Shock negative displays.
I love pro treks have 8 and the wsd f20 wich has a full color satellite gps it's at $150 right now I recommend it just bad battery life and big good videos liked and subscribed
Hello, thanks for the review. Can you please write in a comment part number for resin/silicone strap? I have PRW-2500T with titanium bracelet, and I would like to order resin one as well. Sizing looks correct for my watch.
Great review. I am little nervous about Casio's negative displays. Although what you say is very encouraging. I have the Casio Rangeman, negative display, I am not a fan of it anymore. How much better is new negative displays over previous versions? Thanks
Have both negative Pro Trek & Rangeman models, given up on the G Shock, the Pro Trek on the other hand is excellent! What I don't get is that I have a negative GD350 & despite costing a fraction of the Rangeman the display is fantastic.
If you're asking which one is better, functionally they are very similar. I have never owned the 2500 but I believe it is larger in size (at least in case thickness). IMO, it would be completely up to your sense of style and whichever one looks better to you.
I'm sorry but I probably will not have time to focus on a time setting episode. If you go to support.casio.com/en/manual/manualsearch.php?cid=009&MODULE=3414&submit= you can read the instruction manual on how to adjust the time.
Can someone tell me which display is better to read? the one from the 3500 is positive but not STN. the one from the 3510 is STN but negative. which one would you choose when it comes to readability?
Standard negative displays from Casio are normally HORRIBLE, but STN displays are fantastic. Very visible and easy to read. I would comfortably wear a negative STN display any day of the week. What you see on the video is reasonably what you would expect to see in real life.
Deranged man's no comparison it doesn't have atomic time man how can you compare it and the screen you got to squint to look at the little LED lights there's no comparison with the two watches
it doesn't have atomic time? Are you sure about that? I'll let you do the research yourself on this one. As for the visibility, it's unfortunate that it didn't work out for you. Looks perfectly fine to me. A superior negative display compared to others and highly visible.
Rubber would be a horrible material on a field watch. Have you ever had a rubber strap? Have you ever been out in the field? Resin or some type of canvas/nylon band would be far superior. Which is why "field" watches aren't ever sold with rubber straps. Perhaps there's one out there with a rubber band. I've never seen it, but please show me one and I might check it out.
Gettin rid of paint on a rubber strap isnt ridicul but a nightmare or other stuff ,on the other hand rubber is safer to wear in circumstances ,so lucky there is a choice.
Awesome and thorough review. Your video drove my purchasing decision on the PRW3510. Thanks so much!

ProTreks are not fully shock resistant like a G-Shock so that's something to consider. Other than that they can be used and abused like a G-Shock.

Late comment/question...you mention some of the Pro Teks are a little smaller and are "the perfect size". Which models are those? Thanks!
I have the titanium 3500 and love it so much I just ordered this exact 3510 as well and ordered an extra black strap for it. Love these watches !
I completely understand. These watches are outstanding 💯
How much does it cost this PRW 3500... 🤔 THANK YOU VERY MUCH..
Hey man! Great review! Could you comment please how durable is the paint of the rotating bezel? Does it come off easily or is it easily scratchable??
TIA!
Great reviews, man! Seriously great! Can’t wait for my PRW to arrive!
Awesome, great choice. Thanks for the kind words.
Wow five hundred usd.. a best investment... rarely be used at.special functions only.. 😊😊😊😊
Great review! Out of curiosity and purely cosmetic, what size is your wrist? I'm deciding between the prw3510-1jf and the GW 9400 rangeman.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching. My wrist size is around 7.5-8". Functionally I think the 9400 is better but only if you get the positive display version.
Great review, would you choose the Rangeman or the Protrek?
Both! 😁 if i could only pick one I think it would be the Pro Trek, but both are excellent watches.
@@degenerateWA good to know! I've got a Rangeman and a Mudman but the Casio look super legible

thanks! i got the 3500 with black resinband, - but would like a titanband to it also! - its a great watch! greetings, Levi in sweden
A great choice for a watch. Thanks for stopping by.
Well with the current gshock line up... This looks much better in terms of fuctionality and value for money

hello, please can you give me the link where I can find the silicone strap for my PRW-3500. Thanks
What is the current price of the product?
How tough is the watch? Is it like a GShock?
It is very tough and will survive pretty much anything as long as you aren't deliberately trying to torture/break it.
Are there custom bands available for the PRW 3500 Series. Id like to see a good heavy green canvas are nylon on the 3500.
Adapters!

Aluminium
So there's no difference at all in terms of features?
Nope, they are functionally identical.

Thank you!
does the black paint on the bezels of each of these chip/fade away over time?
Only if you're knocking it around regularly. But it'll give the watch some character, and that weathered look that everyone loves.
Not that I know of

I love my Rangeman but I will fully admit that the negative display is HORRIBLE. Do not worry at all, these Pro Trek negative displays are fantastic.
I have the Pro Trek & rest assured the display is great!
Very detailed but seems you miss the main difference between 3500 and 3510,one is normal LCD display and the other one is STN display
I felt like the difference in displays was already fairly obvious so I didnt feel a need to talk about it too much.
Have both negative Pro Trek & Rangeman models, given up on the G Shock, the Pro Trek on the other hand is excellent! What I don't get is that I have a negative GD350 & despite costing a fraction of the Rangeman the display is fantastic.
I've noticed that Casio's negative display is actually quite decent, and it's only really horrible on the 9400 Rangeman.
Few website for buy it in original

Can you make a video on how to change the time on the green band one please

Hello, is this bracelet fits all 3500 series models like your 3510 if you want to swap?
