PRW3500 Series | Pro Trek | 100M WR | Compass | Alt/Baro-Thermo | Tough Solar Power | Atomic Timekeeping | 1-100 SEC Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | World Time

So far, this watch is amazing. It looks bad-astronaut with the full-size look, military vibe, and negative display. The features exceed what I ever imagined I would want in a watch, but now that I have them, they are fun to experiment with and I really enjoy knowing they're there. MUST HAVES: - The solar power and multiband 6 (atomic sync) are must-haves, for me. I don't want to have to babysit and potty train my watch. I don't serve my watch; my watch serves me. - I wanted a watch that could display the time while the stopwatch and/or timer was in use. - I wanted big digits so I wouldn't need glasses to check the time. - I wanted digital -- while I love the elegant appearance of analog watches, I can't get over the fact that the hands obstruct vital parts of the watch every hour. That's unforgivable to me, hence my requirement for digital. - I don't want my watch to make me look like a dork. The ProTrek checks all the boxes. DISPLAY: The readout is extremely easy to read. Negative displays have a negative reputation as they are often difficult to read but this one is clear and crisp at all angles. Bright sunlight does NOT wash-out the display, it actually makes it more readable. In dim lighting it is harder to read than a positive display but it is readable, and besides, the backlight (and auto-backlight) are there for a reason. Additionally, given the large nature of the watch, I felt that the negative display suited it better. The dark appearance makes it easier to get away with having such a beefy watch. (I use the same strategy for my size 15 shoes: the darker the better.) BEEP: The alarm and beeps are plenty loud. For comparison, I also have the Casio G-SHOCK 5610u and that has a very hollow and weak alarm. The ProTrek is louder, but not obnoxious by any means. It's probably typical and what anyone would expect. EASE OF USE: If you want a watch to just throw on and intuitively know how to use everything, this one is not for you. It is not hard to use if you are willing to spend a few minutes to get acquainted with it. You will need to look up your latitude and longitude coordinates online (or on a map, I guess) and set them in the watch so that the sunrise and sunset times are accurate. BATTERY and MULTIBAND 6 SYNC: The first day I had it the atomic sync would not initiate, manually or automatically. I soon discovered ATOMIC SYNC WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE BAROMETER WEATHER ALERTS ARE ON. I'm not sure the reasoning behind this, but I assume it is a feature, not a bug. Neither the auto-receive nor the manual-receive work while the barometer weather alerts are on. (Go to the barometer mode, then press and hold the barometer button to toggle it.) WEIGHT: The watch is heavier than my previous 5610, but it's not heavy. It reminds me of my metallic band Pulsar watch. It's a very normal weight for a watch. Overall, it's not a cheap watch, but it's not extremely expensive either. It will satisfy your desire for usefulness and having cool gadgets without getting into smartwatch territory. I have finally stopped endlessly browsing watches on Amazon and youtube. I have found what I was looking for.

If I could only have one watch, it would be this one. I love this watch. This is the watch I wear all day no matter what I am doing. I have gotten paint acetone, automotive oils and greases, detergents, and all sorts of other substances on it. I have banged it against countless objects. I truly unapologetically use this watch. Here are the det's: Comfort: This is the most comfortable watch I have ever worn. This watch doesn't start to weigh on your wrist, get itchy, or make you feel like you have to shift it around from time to time. I wear it all day. I have even fallen asleep with it on. Durability: I am impressed with the amount of abuse this watch takes. There are some expected scratches, but even the wrist band and buckle are holding up well. Charging/battery: This is always on hi, even if I wear longs sleeves. It gets plenty of charge just from driving around or being outside for a bit. Functions: I had to calibrate the thermometer when I got it. It isn't going to give you a good reading on your wrist. It will pick up your body heat. I have found it accurate when it is not worn. Other functions work as advertised. Screen/reading: I have the autolight function enabled so it turns on briefly when you aim your wrist at your peepers. It can't be read well in the dark without it. The light is bright enough to read the full display. The light button is easy to locate and press with no light. In normal to low light, it is very easy to read. I prefer this display instead of the light back screen with dark numbers, like the previous model. But I'm sure that is subjective. Buttons: Everything is easy to press and find. There is a lot of texture on the buttons. Even with gloves on, it is easy to operate. To sum up, this is a quality watch! I won't go on about all it does and the size, that info is in the listing. It does what it promises and does it well. I would highly recommend it!!

Genuine watch if this will go on sale again i will purchase again

Exactly the watch that I wanted with the 20bar depth, good looks and solar powered. Basically, the same as the other Protreks north of $600 or even north of $1000. Very quick delivery too

見た目も格好良いし、多機能のソーラー電波なので楽しさ満載。海外にも人気があるようで、今では買った当初の倍額に…。

Bought this as a gift and must say my partner loves it . Not sure ab8 the functions as he was the one that done all the research on these types of watches, but he loves it .

Great watch. Tons of features, and stylish, rugged good looks. Easy to read and use day at night. Compass is accurate. Good for military and lawn enforcement.
