TOKYO, July 15, 2015 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the
release of the PRW-3100, the latest addition to its PRO TREK line of
outdoor watches. The new PRW-3100 is available in four models and
features a super-twisted nematic (STN) display for enhanced readability.
The PRO TREK series of outdoor watches leverages cutting-edge Casio
sensor technology to measure different types of outdoor data including
compass bearing, altitude/atmospheric pressure, and temperature. Casio
developed "Triple Sensor, Ver. 3" in 2013, downsizing of the sensors and
realizing improved precision. PRO TREK watches are appreciated by
people who enjoy trekking, mountaineering, and other outdoor activities.
The new PRW-3100 watches are based on the PRW-3000 watch with Triple
Sensor, Ver. 3, now adding a high-contrast STN display that offers wide
viewing angles for enhanced readability. With its flat bezel, the case
of PRW-3100 is 0.3 mm thinner than the PRW-3000, presenting a slim
design that comfortably fits the wrists of men and women alike. The
bezel is made from stainless steel, giving the watch a sharp look. The
PRW-3100 offers high utility including an atmospheric pressure tendency
alarm that gives notification in response to sudden swings in
atmospheric pressures, and Multi Band 6 technology for receiving
time-calibration signals transmitted from six stations around the world.
