I'm back with a quick demonstration of the Casio Pro Trek PRW-B1000, which has officially become my go-to watch for outdoor adventures and navigation. After getting sick of constant smartwatch notifications, I decided to go back to a more analog world and ordered this fantastic piece from overseas. In this video, I'll walk you through its top features like the compass, barometer, altimeter, and the impressive Tough Solar battery life after three months of solid use.
