And of course, our Vintage line of timepieces is a classic option that never goes out of style."

Tough and Durable
Casio’s rugged and versatile PRG600Y-1 is the latest addition to the PRO TREK line and is a must-have accessory for outdoor enthusiasts looking to take advantage of the warmer weather this spring. The PRO TREK PRG600Y-1 features Casio’s Triple Sensor Version 3 Technology which includes a direction sensor for compass readings, pressure sensor for altimeter/barometer readings and a thermo sensor. It is also low-temperature resistant up to -10°C /14°F and water resistant up to 100 meters. Additionally, with Casio’s Tough Solar Power technology, the PRG600Y-1 eliminates the need for battery changes. After a full-charge, the timepiece has a battery life of approximately seven months without further exposure to light and can be charged even in low or fluorescent light. The timepiece also has a special Power Save feature that allows it to power down when not exposed to light for a certain period of time, helping to further conserve energy.

Designed with a soft black silicone band called Dura Soft, an oversized stainless steel bezel and Earth-inspired colors, the PRG600Y-1 looks great with casual wear and feels comfortable on the wrist. In addition, it features three-dimensional index marks and broad hour and minute hands for optimum visibility, with large numerals at the 12, 3, and 9 o’clock positions. Other features include 29-city world time + UTC, five daily alarms, full auto double LED lights with afterglow and more!

Travel Smart
Featuring Casio’s Smartphone Link capability, both the EDIFICE ECB500, and ECB600 make it easy to navigate seasonal and time zone changes whether at home or traveling. The timepiece pairs with the wearer’s smartphone with the simple press of the dedicated Bluetooth® connection button. By downloading the CASIO WATCH+ app and connecting to a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth® SMART, the ECB500, EQB600, and other Bluetooth® enabled EDIFICE timepieces can access the correct time for the current location and for over 300 cities worldwide. Users also have the capability to swap their specified home time and world time with the press of a button, as well as update alarms and other time settings, including automatic adjustments for Daylight Saving Time.

Additionally, Casio’s Tough Solar Power technology keeps these timepieces going by enabling the wearer to charge it in low or fluorescent light, eliminating the need for continuous battery replacement.
