Casio to Release New PRO TREK with 200-Meter Water Resistance
Featuring Triple Sensor, Ver. 3 for High-Precision Readings of Compass Bearing, Barometric Pressure/Altitude, and Temperature, An Excellent Watch for Outdoor Water Activities
PRW-3500-1
BASEL, March 18, 2015 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today a
new addition to the PRO TREK line of outdoor watches. The new PRW-3500
is the first PRO TREK watch with both water resistance to 200 meters and
Triple Sensor, Ver. 3, Casio's technology for delivering highly precise
readings of compass bearing, barometric pressure/altitude, and
temperature.
The PRO TREK series of outdoor watches leverages cutting-edge sensor
technology to measure different types of outdoor data. The existing
model PRW-3000 provides numerical sensor data using its digital display,
and the PRW-6000 has an analog display that conveys the information via
hand position like a gauge. Both existing models are equipped with the
latest Triple Sensor, Ver. 3, and have become popular with mountain
climbers and trekking enthusiasts.
Based on the PRW-3000, which has a digital display and is water resistant to 100 meters, the new PRW-3500 will be the first
Designed for a wide variety of outdoor scenes, the PRW-3500 is easy to
operate even while wearing gloves, thanks to its large buttons with
non-slip surfaces and a register ring that has been shaped for easy
gripping with the fingers. The watch lets the user effortlessly check—
and even record—all the needed information on outdoor conditions.
The new model also comes with all the usual PRO TREK features such as an
atmospheric pressure tendency alarm that notifies the wearer of sudden
swings in atmospheric pressure, the Tough Solar power system that
charges the watch even in dim light, a full auto LED backlight that
illuminates in the dark with a tilt of the wrist, and Multi Band 6
technology for receiving time-calibration signals transmitted from six
stations around the world. With standard features like these, the new
PRW-3500 can be worn with complete confidence.
