I used to be an avid Apple Watch/garmin wearer. I no longer need all that I find that my solar protrek and my madman solar are all I need and I don’t have to worry about recharging.
Well done review. The prw6600y is THE best Casio watch for every situation (outdoor-office) without being a gargantuan g-shock. Tough solar, atomic, WT, lume and light, all the standard functions, 5 alarms, plus ABC functions.
YUP IT IS TOUGH SOLAR....
I have been very happy with my prg-600y for six years now and counting.
Beside a few light scratches on the glass, its been flawless!
Would be very could with a saphhire version, as you say 👍
It can be fitted with sapphire glass by any good watch maker
Nice review. I think I just might get one.
Personally, I prefer the PRW-6600YB-3ER that has the olive strap which gives it a military look.
Also has negative display which gives more stealth and seamless look.
Hi, I returned two Pro-trel watches in the 600 series. The back lights and compass on both watches worked only intermittently. Otherwise a great watch. Hesitant now to try another one. What's your experience so far?
Brilliant review, plus an instant sub from me. I've been a watch geek from the 80s too and the ProTrek range have been at the top of many of my watch lists. Agreed with you on the Sapphire glass would have been nice. For a watch that's designed to be outside that extra level of toughness would be appreciated. Especially when the bezel is so small leave little clearance to the glass
I'd definitely be interested in collaborating with you on some content in the future. All my best buddy
Hey, thanks for subbing, yep always open to a collab, maybe on the next g-shock I get. My email is thecasualwatchreviewer@gmail.com
It's great, however the only thing it's missing is the option to know the time of sunrise and sunset.
It's the only thing that still doesn't make me change my prg270
I could see it being useful on off road Jeep excursions. The added info could be helpful both in bushwhacking and along established trails without going up a level to something like GPS waypoint navigation which I use on more challenging overland trips. I do like that it’s less G-Shockish in appearance because I’m only just starting to warm to G-Shock type design language after seeing your excellent NASA variant review. Thanks Sam for broadening my horological horizons…again.
Thanks Jack!
I somehow feel that Casio doesn't show much attention to the Pro Trek series. They have a standard digital and analogue watch format and re-release the SAME features every year with a different design.
I have been waiting for eons for them to include a moon phase to the PRG series with 20 bar water resistance.
Or at the very least re-launch the GPR-B1000 in a smaller case (minus GPS to cut costs) under the Pro Trek moniker and price it reasonably.
End of the day, Pro Trek appeals to those people who use it as a TOOL. I have extensively used the ABC function for navigation and I badly miss the moon phase and 20 Bar WR. Hopefully, soon enough someone in Casio heeds to our requirements.
haha I fel the same way too growing up. Friends called me Watch Boy'
It's a shame the bezel is fixed could be used as a cool comparison between time zones if they were set in order and you'd know what the time was in different time zones
Cool review. I would choose one of these
Hi.
CASIO PRW-61Y-3ER or mudmaster GG-B100-1A3ER ?
Struggling to find the PRG601YB-2 here in the UK (the blue version of the model in this review) 🙁 Any suggestions please?
Ok I spent a while looking at some of the Japan sites I use. I couldn’t find one!
@@CasualWatchReviews Ok, thanks for looking. Looks like they’re discontinued 😕
I am about to get my fourth iteration of protrek and would never ever put a smart watch on i forget to charge the phone yet alone the watch 😅
I have recently been looking at protrek as a solar all round use watch but seem hard to get in the uk could you advise which site is good to review / buy
Hi, I’m not sure I can be much help here. I don’t live in the UK any more. I know here in the US these are available on Amazon and also Casio’s websites
Cheers I did find them on Amazon uk but not on uk Casio sites just finding the one I preferred is hard as an option I am looking at the GARMIN Aventure solar watches !
Regards
I tried 2 different ProTreks. Digital and analog versions. They’re just too big and uncomfortable when working and wiring circuit boards. Besides even if I do go hiking, it’s never anything serious so there is no need for all these sensors.
Just subscribed love the channel just bought one but mines is multiband 6
Thanks! Welcome to the channel, yep the 'atomic' timekeeping is a great addition. Hopefully they do a bluetooth one at some point but in this style.
@@CasualWatchReviews for sure thank you
Wow, lots of effort put into this review🏁 Me no likely Protreks these days. Back in the day yes, but now you gotta have GPS, right? I dunno 🤷🏼♂️
Whats the difference between this PRG601 and the PRW6600?
Essentially the multiband 6 atomic time keeping is present on the prw6600 but not on the prg 601. Also the lug width is 24mm for the prw 6600 and 23mm for the prg601. Case back is composite on the prg601 while the prw6600 has a traditional steel case back. These are the only 3 differences from what I can tell. Hope this helps.
I do not understand why casio need to put the times zones on the bezel. It's hideous. The lack of moon and sun set/rise and sapphire glass is also quite annoying. I love this model, except all those lacks. It's all that hinders me from getting one.
Over apple I mean
Solar models with triple sensors can't have Bluetooth my friend..non solar models do have B.T in them , andthe Japanese engineers have to be praised for managing to fit such micro sensors in a compact size .
I have the new rangeman mate that has Bluetooth, solar and the ABC sensor. Does require a battery charger if you’re using the HR sensors and everything however.
So disappointed in this watch, mine only lasted 9 moths until the second hand stopped working.
Hi, I think they have a twelve month warranty, it’s very rare you hear of a Casio go wrong so sorry to hear that.
Apple watches die after about four years. Repair costs are astronomical.
My Apple Ultra charge lasts 2 days....🤔 Are you commenting about something that you don't know about?
Mineral glass 👎
Screen protector. Easy fix.
Agree. Put a high grade sapphire and now you have a real winner with fashion good looks (can’t say the same for mud or range) plus the triple sensors
Was going to get one until I found out about all the plastic, environmental bullshit
