Casio is widening the rollout of its Pro Trek PRW-B1000 series, bringing its connected, sensor-packed outdoor watches to more markets. The lineup, now visible on the brand’s international site, includes the PRWB1000-1 and the newly spotted PRWB1000-5, both combining Bluetooth connectivity with radio-controlled timekeeping and the company’s acclaimed Triple Sensor technology.
The PRWB1000-1 pairs a dark gray stainless-steel bezel with a black dial and silver accents, finished with a rugged strap that appears to be Cordura or reinforced rubber. The PRWB1000-5 goes bolder with a black metal dial, bronze accents, golden hands, and a brown strap. Durability is a major focus across both models, highlighted by a sapphire crystal, flame-resistant bands, and 100-meter water resistance for serious outdoor use.
Beyond the tough build, these watches lean into accuracy and convenience. Bluetooth lets you sync with an app for quick setup and time adjustments, while Multi-Band 6 radio control locks in atomic timekeeping. World travelers get support for 55 time zones, and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Casio’s Triple Sensor suite, delivering barometer, compass, and thermometer readings via a combination of analog and inset digital displays. Power is handled by Tough Solar with power-saving modes, and visibility in low light is boosted by a bright Super Illuminator.
