Choose Between Protrek PRG500,PRG510 or PRG550

[wolfverine81]

hi,
i`m new here,
before this i already have casio DW6900 and Protrek PRG200t,
now thinking wanna change to new view - ana digi,
browsing here & there and stumble with with 3 choice,
between PRG500,PRG510 or the newest PRG550,
PRG500 looks good with its skeleton hand & shining bezel(don know plastic or steel) but long time see it like toy watch for the children,
PRG510 looks more mature than PRG500 and the hand too not skeleton but with lume,
PRG550 looks like PRG510 but with more choice colour & maybe(just my assumption) they already upgraded its sensor & no titanium bracelet .
i`m more to the newest PRG550(choosing between black/yellow or black/white) coz maybe they already upgraded its technology,
but didnt find any review about it here or youtube,
can anybody give me a recommendation........
thanks.

fyi : i`m from Malaysia so they don come with atomic time clock,never sync time...hehehe

Can you post links to them? I don't see them on the Casio USA site, and I probably wouldn't be able to navigate to them on a Malaysian site.

In case anyone was holding off on a recommendation to our friend for lack of information.

Here's the Asia Pro Trek page, which is in English, probably because of the number of Asian languages, English is the one to use.

Here's the 510:



Here's the 550:



I couldn't find the 500; maybe it is an old model?

Also, I couldn't see any differences between them, so I would probably go with the cheapest one.

It's a shame you're not close enough to the China or southern Japan transmitter to pick up a signal?

Maybe Malaysia should put up a transmitter?

price for the resin is the same for all model & price for the Titanium same for all the model.

Casio ProTrek Triple Sensor PRG-500-1V PRG-500-1 PRG-500 Watch
this is for the PRG500 model,

i`m into PRg550 coz maybe they already upgraded the tech of the watch,
but PRG500 looks cool too with its skeleton hand.

510 is the best looking to me. I'm biased because I have a 5100.

I don't think there has been any upgrade in the module so I'd simply choose depending on personal preference.

cheers, Sedi

after seeing prg550 in flesh,
didnt like it,
feel like g-shock+pathfinder----don like,
it feels abit cheap when hold for its its pricey price,
going to see prg500t,
maybe i like it more.
don know if its hand have lume on it or not coz from the picture is skeleton hand & time.

[wolfverine81]

wahhhh,
prg500t don have stock at my place,
anybody know the bezel on prg500 & prg510 is stainless steel or plastic?
saw its shining like steel in prg500 & like pvd in prg510.

[Sedi]

Almost certainly steel. I have a PRW-1200 and it has a black steel bezel. And my PAW-500 also has a top-bezel made of steel. But I'm not 100% sure as I don't have a PRG-500.

cheers, Sedi
