Casio Releases New PRO TREK Watch with More Advanced
Outdoor Functions and Operability
Equipped with Triple Sensor Ver. 3 for even better accuracy
- July 08, 2013
PRG-270-1
TOKYO, July 8, 2013 – Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the
release of a new addition to the PRO TREK line of outdoor watches. The
PRG-270 combines high performance and operability, and comes in five
color options.
PRO TREK is a line of outdoor watches equipped with a Triple Sensor for
determining compass bearing, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and
temperature.
The new PRG-270 features significantly improved usability, thanks to the
adoption of Casio latest Triple Sensor Ver. 3, offering greater
measurement accuracy. In addition to extending the compass bearing
continuous measurement time from 20 to 60 seconds, the time required to
measure altitude has been reduced from 5 seconds to 1 second, and the
altitude measurement unit has been improved from 5 meters to 1 meter. An
alarm function has also been added to warn of a sudden rise or fall in
atmospheric pressure, ensuring the wearer can be informed the moment
that weather conditions begin to change.
The enhanced usability of this outdoor watch is also apparent in its
ease of operation. The large light button and the "direct button," for
displaying compass bearing, atmospheric pressure/ temperature, and
altitude, can be operated without taking gloves off. Furthermore, the
readability of the watch has been increased with the addition of
increment marks around the large LCD watchface, useful for taking a
compass bearing or measuring difference in atmospheric pressure.
Equipped with the Tough Solar™ power system, the new PRG-270 offers the
functions and operability needed by those that enjoy outdoor adventure.
