Let`s have a closer look

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.

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

PRW-1100, PRW-1000 & PAW-1100 have "Atomic" reception
