Massive 40% discount on Casio’s Pro Trek PRG340: a solar-powered ABC watch built for the outdoors
Casio may have nudged prices up across much of its lineup, but there’s still an excellent deal to snag. The Pro Trek PRG340SC, a fan-favorite outdoor watch with a dual-layer LCD and Triple Sensor, is currently down to $168 on the official site, slashing a hefty $112 off the usual $280 price. Inventory is moving fast: at the time of writing, only four units of the PRG340SC-5 remain, and the PRG340SC-2 has already sold out.
Miss the window? There’s a fallback. The Pro Trek PRG340-1 is available for $179, down from $280. Functionally, it’s identical to the PRG340SC models; the only difference is the band material—urethane on the PRG340-1 versus silicone on the PRG340SC.
Why this watch is a standout for hikers and adventurers
The PRG340 is an ABC watch through and through, packing an altimeter, barometer, compass, and thermometer to keep you informed on the trail, on the mountain, or off the grid. Its Duplex LCD uses a dual-layer layout to keep compass graphics clear on the top layer while time and measurements stay easy to read on the bottom. A rotating direction bezel and oversized, non-slip buttons make quick checks and adjustments simple, even with gloves on. Power worries are minimal thanks to Tough Solar charging, which tops up the battery from sunlight and even weaker indoor light sources.
