Casio to Release PRO TREK Watch with New Compass Bearing Sensor for Outdoor Pursuits
Extensive Features Include Tide Graphs and Precise Compass Bearing, Atmospheric Pressure/Altitude, and Temperature Readings
BASEL, March 16, 2016 – Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of the PRW-7000, the latest addition to its PRO TREK line of outdoor watches. The PRW-7000 features water resistance to 20 bar and a compass bearing sensor with auto horizontal compensation. The second hand and indicator hand display various outdoor data for ease of viewing.
The PRO TREK series of outdoor watches leverages Casio sensor technology to measure different types of outdoor data. In particular, PRO TREK models equipped with Triple Sensor Ver. 3 technology deliver precise compass bearing, atmospheric pressure/altitude, and temperature readings, and have proven to be a hit with people who are active in the mountains and other places in the great outdoors.
The PRW-7000 features Triple Sensor Ver. 3 technology that delivers useful features for the outdoors, in activities ranging from mountaineering and trekking to ocean and river pursuits such as fishing, kayaking, and rafting.
The compass bearing sensor, featuring auto horizontal compensation, provides accurate bearing readings even during activities in which the watch is constantly tilted. The digital display and second hand both convey various measurement data. Meanwhile, the indicator hand at the 5 o'clock position, which is equipped with a Dual Coil Motor that enables it to move at high speed, quickly shows tide graph data and atmospheric pressure or altitude differences. Bearing memory can memorize the direction of the destination, using the second hand to point north and the indicator hand to point toward the destination.
Large index marks and a high-contrast watch face ensure maximum readability. The watch is water resistant to 20 bar for use around water, and anglers will appreciate the Fishing Timer, which suggests the best times to fish. With its array of features, the PRW-7000 is useful for many activities.
