CasioPRG340 Series | Pro Trek | 100 Meter Water Resistance | Compass | Alt/Baro-Thermo | Tough Solar Power | 1-100 SEC Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | World Time

I searched and did not find another adventure oriented watch on the market with this many features at this price point ($168 as of this writing). Similar watches were found for $300+, and most of them aren't titanium! I was surprised to find that the titanium band also has a quick release feature (for switching out the band) along with an easy to use sizing tool to remove/add links. The key feature of the watch - triple sensor - did not disappoint. Each of the triple sensor features were calibrated and functioned well right out of the box. And all of the watch modes are easy to access and very intuitive along with being very readable on each screen. As for the solar charging, the watch was already charged (to Medium charge level), but was easily topped off to max charge after only a short (2hr) time next to a sunlit window. However, its worth noting that regular lamplight did not seem to be efficient at charging the watch. The only downside is that the watch arrived with packaging that was already opened. But, everything was intact and I chalk that up to the Amazon delivery driver and nothing to do with Casio. Bottom line - you can't go wrong with this watch. Being former military, I will say that its a great watch for that context as well as for weekend warriors, hikers, outdoor enthusiast, and anyone who needs a highly capable watch that has life sustaining/supportive functions.

I bought the PRG340 to replace my old SGW300H (battery powered with dual sensor barometer/altimeter and temperature) that failed after several years. It served me well as a rugged watch and one that was useful on mountain hikes. That watch was only $35-$40! I didn't see a newer Casio model like it, so I started considering any watch type. I ruled out an Android watch and other smart watches as I do not want to deal with recharging my watch frequently. I considered the Garmin Instinct Solar which looks even better in looks and features than this Casio, but reviews revealed that the battery fails to hold it's charge after about two years. That Instinct cannot be powered by solar alone. So it came down to the Casio PRG 270 and this 340. For $40 more, the 340 provides me a better looking watch for my taste, the dual level screen for the compass marks over the numerical watch face, and the rotating bezel for compass work. Other than that the features are the same, so get the 270 if you like its looks better and don't care about the enhanced compass features. Check out detailed reviews and the Casio instructions online for the cool trek mode and its capture of max/min elevation, total ascent/descent, waymark readings, etc. As someone else said, it's a great dumb watch.

Classy and packed with useful gadgets for survival ! Lightweight but durable enough to withstand heavy use!

I've been wearing digital casios since 1981, most recently the G-shock series. However, the G-shock seemed oriented towards very high durability and a military look, which seemed unnecessary. Some of them had features on the face, for example graphic illustration of the passage of seconds or phases of the moon, that seemed decorative rather than useful. These resulted in cluttered faces. The Pro Trek is simple and functional. Date and time are very visible with a glance. Battery with solar replenishment (and a small charge status indicator), no USB charging. My phone will give me global positioning with a bigger format, no need to duplicate with a watch that will just be one more thing needing charging. One drawback is that some of the minor indicators on the face for settings are much too small, but these are ones that are typically set and not adjusted. I love the very visible compass feature (even though my phone does have one), useful in both urban and nature settings. The Pro Trek is fairly large but is more comfortable that my previous smaller G-shock. Sometimes things are just very pleasing, and this is the case for me with the Pro Trek. I've dropped and banged it a number of times and anticipate continued durability even if it's not a G-shock. BTW, Amazon had an unusually good price, which often is not the case.

Super light weight very nice watch a little hard to understand how to adjust the time etc

For many many years I have been using a CASIO Pathfinder watch, that was eventually showing the effects of years of use and abuse. Looking for a replacement watch I came across the CASIO PRO TREK PRG340 series and was really surprised for all the new features it has, in a really nice and modern design and with the CASIO guarantee of good quality and new features.The delivery time was excellent and I am really glad with my new watch that has replaced my old Pathfinder.

The watch is great, but It is WAAAAY too big,I’m a very large man and my wrist was doing hula hoops in this watch, I had to purchase a watch link removal tool and remove just one link for it to fit me but if you are a person of smaller stature, you will have to remove multiple links for it to fit properly.

I’ve wanted this watch for a long time, and I’m so happy I pulled the trigger. I can’t believe how comfortable and lightweight it is. As soon as you pick it up and put it around your wrist you can feel the quality. The features I like the best are the solar feature and the auto light. You can set it so the backlight comes on when you tilt your wrist. And because it’s solar it detects light and only comes on when it’s in low light conditions. Something else to mention is its size. It’s not nearly as big as I thought it would be. It’s very flat compared to most of my G Shocks. So far I’m very happy.
