Love it. Amazing value. Great looks.
I sold my Citizen and Seiko and this is now my daily wear watch.I'm not careful with it at all, it's taken many bumps and whacks, and still no issues as all other than scratches on the bezel.This is a BIG watch but I love big watches personally. 54mm lug to lug. In other words the total length of the watch body. (The official Casio measurements for the size are incorrect.) But it's very light and comfortable.Plastic body with metal bezel.Lovely blue bezel that will scratch and the metal under it will show very visibly. But that's okay just enjoy it. Consider it "battle damage".The blue bezel looks bright or dark depending on lighting.Only around 42g weight without strap.I added a Wocci FKM rubber strap that I got on Amazon for around 20 bucks and I think it's good value. Very very comfy.The included fabric strap wasn't what I like.Good LED light.Amazing lume that lasts all night without me needing to point a flashlight at it. Better than anything I've owned including Seiko and Citizen watches.The watch itself is also solar powered. I don't go out much so once in a while I put it in a bright area to charge.No wireless connectivity but it's easy enough to change the time with the digital crown and buttons.Cool features for selecting time zone and switching back and forth super easily.Cool stuff like digital compass (points with seconds hand).Very quiet. I only hear it ticking from around 6 inches from my ear if the room is very quiet.Good peep and alarm loudness.No hourly chime.Four or five daily alarms.Very easy to use times. Countdown is adjusted using the crown.23mm strap size which is less common but easy enough to find. And if the strap is soft then 24mm easily squeezes down to 23 and it's nearly impossible to notice. That's what I did.I also tried some other straps like a Speidel brand expansion bracelet in 23mm that I didn't like very much and a 22mm magnetic mesh bracelet that worked great (only the digital compass doesn't work if that bracelet is attached but i had no issues after removing it.)I paid around 200 bucks for this watch and I think that's amazing value.I included a photo of the lovely titanium Casio LCW-M100TSE as a smaller alternative to this. 44mm lug to lug and only 9mm thick.I'd love to see this but duty sleep tracking

Most Practical Watch to Own
I am a watch fan that owns all types: from high-end Breitling and Cartier, to the simplest $14 dollars Casio. This watch is the most practical watch you can own with a lot of functions and really good looks!!! Really good look.. comparable to Breitling Endurance Series.It takes some time to know all the features. I learned a lot of its functions through Youtube tutorials, which I recommend, specially in troubleshooting and additional settings. This is a lightweight Atomic watch with dual energy supply: battery and solar. With pressing one button you can switch time zones, feature that I love as I travel frequently. Also, it measures temperature, altimeter, barometric pressure, compass, have timer, alarm, chronometer and other functions with great precision.Don’t think about it and just buy this watch. The day it arrived I showed it to a couple of friends- all of them also bought this watch when they saw it with all the features it have!!

Really like this watch!
Just got it a week ago, so far I really like it! The soft fabric band feels very durable and is super comfy! Not sure how I feel about the resin case--hopefully it will hold up over time (pun intended....) One good thing about the resin case is that the watch is very light for it's size. I do worry about one of the band lugs breaking off though--which would render the watch useless.....I love the size of the case and I'm a big guy! the watch is very easy to read, love the blue band and watch face, the LED lights are SUPER bright, and the watch is easy to adjust. Also really love that it's solar--so no watch batteries to replace! I do wish it was either Bluetooth or could connect to the atomic clocks for accuracy--I know some other Protek models do that. All in all I'm really happy with this watch so far!!

I like it.
I have a few Casio watches, this is my newest addition to my collection.Nice watch good quality easy to read with large numbers.Accurate timepiece, after wearing it for almost three months, it is off about 1 second per month (slower). I wish it had atomic or radio automatic calibration.

Casio quality with a colorway I couldn't resist!
The media could not be loaded. I pre ordered this watch and have finally received it and gotten some good wrist time with it. This is not my first protrek as I have prw6600, prg650, prw7000, prtb70, prw61 and some others I may be forgetting. It is well made and has all the features of the prg650, 600 line of watches in that it does not have multiband 6 like the prw6600 line. It is essentially a prw6600 without multiband 6 and has a 23mm strap width instead of a 24mm width. What I love most about this watch is the legibility in the analog as well as digital information. The lume is alot better than I remember on my other protrek's. The positive display is very legible and rare among darker colored protrek watches. Being in the medical field the yellow second hand is great for counting heart rates etc. The cloth band is very supple and nice but I did swap it out for a silicone band just for ease of cleaning if I get it soiled while in my clinical rotations. So all in all, this is a great watch. The bio resin construction seems solid so far but this being a newer technology remains to be proven so we shall see.Also I provided this video, the photo that Amazon has shown, what looks like a black face but in real life it is a dark deep od green that pairs well with the OD green strap lugs. There is also a great deal of dimension to the face. I did install a glass protector also on this watch so this may also be noticeable in the video. Take care.

Packed with features with style
I a currently in love with how this watch looks, it has almost all of the features included in my PRW-3500 (minus multiband 6), but this looks way nicer, I really enjoy the compass that shows north using the seconds hand.The band is just perfect for the size of the watch, prefer it to a resin counterpart.It could be a bit on the big side of things if you're used to smaller watches, still I think the legibility is among the best in casio analog watches.
