DOVER, NJ, November 17, 2016 - This fall,
Casio America, Inc. is expanding its rugged and versatile
PRO TREK line of outdoor timepieces with the PRG600Y-1. Outfitted with Casio’s next-generation
Triple Sensor Version 3 Technology, and Tough Solar Power, the PRG600Y-1 is a must-have accessory for outdoor enthusiasts.
“With Fall in full swing, more people will begin spending time outside to hike, camp, fish, rock climb and more," said David Johnson, vice president of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “The new PRG600Y-1 offers outdoor enthusiasts analog & digital versatility in a rugged, neutral design, while also providing a comprehensive feature-set built to endure life’s most exciting adventures."
The
