    Protrek PRG-80 in portrait (massive)

    For all those that wanted to see the 80`s in all their glory ;

    PRG-80YT-1VDR (on Casio Ballistic Nylon & Leather strap)

    PRG-80L-3VDR


    Let`s have a closer look











    PRG80 is not "Atomic" black end pieces sourced from PRW-1100


    And you just thought it was only black






    Original Ion Plated Bracelet

    PRG-80L-2VDR Blue

    Capturing the color of these chameleons is a challenge as the Blue & Green PRG-80L`s change their look with the slightest change in lighting,
    good thing is they never look garish, often looking almost black.

    PRG-80L-3VDR Green

    Original synthetic leather strap, works well in hot climates


    Another strap option off PRG-80L-1VDR Resin



    On the wrist








    The Trio




    PRG-80, really a field watch, big and extremely durable, a very tough solar powered beast, not far off G-Shock survivability .

    You can play about with the straps on this model, giving it more versatility. I have used these extensively in the field, in all conditions imaginable
    (-25C - +48C, 100% humidity for months at a time as it is work related).

    I would recommend one to anyone wanting a field watch, large easy to read display in all modes. One of the more stable Protreks when exposed
    to temperature change. ABC functions are easy to set up & use, and the altimeter is reasonably accurate, as long as you follow Casio`s recommendations.

    Very few criticisms other than limited CDT & stopwatch duration, the bottom line is they work as intended, if I was limited to only one ABC watch,
    it would be a PRG-80, a true "Tool Watch" in all regards
