REVIEW:

I’ve been using my Casio Pro-trek PRG-90T for 5 years now and it has impressed me very much. There are a wealth of features (some of them I haven’t tried yet) but the most important features I have used in the field are the compass, barometric pressure, altimeter and the tough solar wherein the watch automatically charges its batteries when it is exposed to light. No need to change batteries for the next several years!!!

This watch is tough!!! Mine already has several scratches, a testament to the several climbs I’ve done with it.  The titanium construction is great, if not the best. It has withstood climbs with heavy rains, winds, rocky and slippery trails. I have friends who use other brand watches with rubber construction but they ended up putting their watches in their cabinets as the rubber did not last long.

I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants to have a multi-function mountaineering and expedition watch.

Personally I give it a 5-out-of-5 stars!!!
