- Unboxing and in-depth review of one of the coolest "Action/Adventure" watches available for the money (MSRP $350) the Casio Pro Trek PRW3520Y-8CR. This watch has all of the features I love about Casio’s/ G-Shock’s such as Tough Solar and Multi-band 6 plus a ton more features! Could this Pro Trek actually be better than the best G-Shock(s)? Let’s take a look....
Here is a link to this Pro Trek: amzn.to/3xUJ04Y

Needed a hiker watch for on the trails . I luckily found this in box brand new for only $189 . I have owned 2 mudmaster and found them heavy and bulky but this pro trek is perfect for the hiker or mountainbiker . I like everything about this model . Great video buddy .
Awesome, hope the Pro Trek is working out great. Thanks for tuning in!
I have the positive display (3510Y-1JF) version of this badass watch. Everything you said about is spot on target. I love it. Great video, mate!!
Awesome, thanks very much!
Awesome detailed review my man. Just grabbed the very similar 3500-1 in 4/24. Growing up with a Casio strapped to my wrist I had to go back even after wearing a Galaxy watch for the last 4 years. In times of uncertainty u can never be to certain👍🏻 stay safe and appreciate the work
Thanks for tuning in!
Great video! I have been deliberating about buying this watch and you totally convinced me! Boy, I feel like a big kid! Just ordered it from Amazon! I’m a watch enthusiast and I’m grateful for people like you who take the time to make such an influential and helpful video. Thx
Awesome, greatly appreciated!
My watch came today. I love the feature which when you turn your wrist in the dark it lights up! Great in dark environments! Oh like I this watch! Super comfortable band. Thx man your video was the tipping point! It will take me a lil time to learn the other features but super psyched!
@@uniquesoundsolutions Excellent, glad you’re liking it so far (this watch is definitely becoming one of my all time favorites)….Greatly appreciate your feedback, enjoy!
@@nobetagear I’m like a big kid. I’m going to make your day. I watch certain parts of your video to make myself more familiar with this awesome watch! OMG! Your video rocks. The heck with the manual. I’m not a young dude. Your vision changes as you past 45. I find myself wearing this watch more frequently now. It’s so cool and I’ve learned how to navigate its features because of your video. So glad I bought this watch. If I may, I’m strongly considering buying another Pro Trek PRT-850-1CR. The other candidate for my next purchase is the Casio G Shock GA 1100 1A1. Your opinion would mean a lot to me. Hope I’m not asking too much. I don’t discuss this stuff with my family. They know I love watches but don’t want confirm my zeal with being nuts about watches. Lol
@@uniquesoundsolutions Very cool, thanks a bunch!! You really can’t go wrong with the Pro Trek but I will have to take a closer look at the GA-1100. My one ding against both would be that neither has tough solar…I could be wrong but I think you’re only getting a 2 year battery with each which may or may not be a big deal.
Mine just arrived in the mail and I absolutely love it. It's not as huge as I thought it would be when I watched all these different videos on youtube. Thanks for an awesome review.
Awesome, thanks so much for tuning in, enjoy the new watch!
@@nobetagear Update. Unfortunately I ended up returning it. I found that the sensor on the left side kept digging into my arm which is too bad. I could not adjust it any way to avoid it. The atomic time keeping never worked even if I tried to do it manually anywhere in the city. Too bad.
Since discovering Dark Mode I do find it Superior to Eye Comfort. Just spent a week reviewing watches - finally ordering my first watch in decades. The GW-9400BJ-1JF G-Shock Master of G Rangeman
Should be here From Japan 'bout a week. Now I'm torn. This Watch Looks Amazing. Oh... I didn't make a wrong decision - im just going to have to invest in The Pro Trek too after this discovery.
I Do Wish You'd Done An Update Video. I'm Looking For It.
You did great job on this👊🏼👨🏽🦱
Much appreciated, I’m still loving this watch big time. I will definitely try to do an update at some point. Cheers!
Paid 299 on sale when it was 400 on ebay. Best watch Ive ever owned after 15+ G shocks its a league of its own.
Excellent, thanks for watching and commenting.
Just purchased on Amazon for 216.00 + tax. I have several German & Swiss Made autos, but I still like these Casio Protrek/G-Shock watches. They are tough and don't have to worry about getting them banged up!
Great review, I also subscribed!
Awesome, thanks so much! That’s a great price for such an amazing watch too, well done!
In fact, James Cameron DID go for the Pro Trek. In Avatar (2009) the Marines wear Pro Treks. Colonel Quaritch and Jake Sully even visibly to the camera.
Cameron is definitely a friend of SEIKO and CASIO
I recently bought the titanium 3500 and loved it so much I just ordered this 3510 today. Even got an extra black strap for it. These watches are awesome !
Awesome, thanks for tuning in!
did you get the blue moment version? the one that has the 3510's module?
One nit-pick. The typical plastic material used in Gs and Protreks is urethane (not acrylic). Urethane is extremely tough, acrylic is fragile. Some of the extra soft comfortable bands are made of (as I understand) silicone much like some divers watches instead of urethane for comfort reasons.
Great point, thanks for the clarification and for tuning in!
The durasoft silicone that Casio uses is much better than typical silicone as it doesn't attract any lint and gets weird over use.
Now that's how you do a watch review. Good work fella.
Very much appreciated, cheers!
Thanks for the review Mr. NoBetaGear! I liked the watch so much I went out and purchased one for myself !!
Awesome, thanks for watching and for your comment!
And now I need that watch. Haha!
Awesome review.
Its a great watch, you'll love it.... Thanks for your comment!
I really like you’re reviews. I just bought this while watching your video. I was torn between this one and a different Pathfinder. Subscribed! Keep it up.
Great watch, I’m sure you’re gonna like it...Thanks so much for your comment and for watching!
4:55 yes sometimes the band is made in a different country than the watch.
Just got this for $216 from Sam's club and I love it. Today is also Amazon Prime day which they are selling it for 35% off. Its an amazing watch and feels so comfortable. This will be my everyday watch.
Great choice for sure, thanks for tuning in!
That’s a nice watch. I just bought the prg-2500 only because of the screen. I like the dbl lcd screen and that everything is all on home screen
I definitely need to check out the prg-2500, looks very cool. Thanks for tuning in!
First thing to do when you get a Casio watch is go to the website and download the manual as pdf. Your eyes will thank you. (those little books are killer)
Great point, luckily their website is very user-friendly and the PDF manuals are readily accessible.
Wonder why the promotional pics show there to be some kind of animation of dots going around the circumference of the dial, but I've never seen a review where that is happening? Awesome watch and review BTW!!!
This watch dial has so many character points on the display array that it almost appears to be animated depending on the mode of use but it is indeed all LCD. I will say that it is one of the most legible, easy to read watches in my collection, especially when using outdoors in bright sun. Thanks so much for tuning in!
here's the coolest part about this watch, it's been out for a long time, i had it on my amazon wishlist for at least 2 years. i dont think the watch is shock resistent but due to the previous watch i owned being broken, im looking for a one and done watch to purchase. im still befuddled about the moving bezel because it mostly works with analog watches. the clicking bezels are mostly used with diving watches to prevent any bumping to misdirect time. good review bud! wish i had it up a long while ago.
Excellent feedback, I’m sure this watch will live up to your expectations. I’m very happy with it so far! Thanks for watching!
@@nobetagear thanks mate, good stuff, cant wait to get it on my wrist!
Great video, thanks. Just purchased this watch and can hardly wait for it to get here. Have a couple of less expensive G-Shocks and really love them. I like analog watches a bit better, but this one came with all the features I really wanted to try out at a decent price. If I had seen your video earlier, I would have pulled the trigger much sooner. Again, great job and thanks for the work you put in.
Awesome feedback, thanks so much! Please let me know how you like yours….cheers!
Does this have a rotating "second hand" (the tick marks around the outside of the face) like the old ones? It seems visible in the Casio ads, but I've never seen it on video and I don't see anything about turning it on in the manual.
Finaly someone made review on protrek watch.
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Hey fella! Great review! Happy to see caliper measurements. Good layout for details on the watch. Your review convinced me to purchase. Nicely done bro!
Greatly appreciated, cheers!
that lightup time limit is a dealbreaker for me i hope the other protreks arnt like that aswell
Hi 👋 .. question
I received it yesterday , I’m trying to sync it , like you do , but its not working .. I’m 5 seconds MORE than the atomic Eastern clock …
Is there something wrong here ??
Damn, I was on the prowl for a new watch that had solar & a compass & Casio was always a favourite of mine so it was down to the Protrek PRG-340-1JF & the PRW-35Y-1BJF, then I stumbled across this video so now I have another contender, oh well, lucky I have insomnia, great video by the way, cheers.
Awesome, thanks for tuning in!
man! those ones you mentioned so much alike I'll have hard time sorting them out 🙂 please help me with the main differences 🙏
Thanks for the review. This is one of my favorite watches. Appreciate your time and effort.
Greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching!
ProTech gets it right... You can have a watch that is stylish with a Rugged look & performs a multitude of things.⌚⌚ Every ProTech watch has exceeded my expectation.👂🏽👂🏿👂🏼👂👂🏻
Thanks for your feedback and for tuning in!
I love this watch, just purchased one from amazon Canada for $238 CAD.... However, when I am out hiking I wear my Garmin Fenix 7x.... Can't beat topo maps when hiking in unknown areas...
Very cool, thanks for tuning in!
Just received the amazing watch. Apple Watch ultra hitting the shelf.
Great choice, thanks for tuning in!
I bought the PRG-240 and use it while working on my Ranch, I just order the PRW 3510Y because I love my other watch and really light the reverse display, I think it will be easier to read. You can't have enough good watches. Lol.
How do they compare? I’m predominantly an analogue watch guy with a Seiko and JLC reverso but really want a tougher watch with features for camping and hiking that I’m hoping to do more, be great if you had feedback as these are the two I’m looking at👍🏼
@@manuel_winde
I like the PRW 3510Y better, it has Radio controlled time keeping and a better band.
@@MrWrestler41 yeah I originally looked at the titanium bracelet version (3500 I think) but the 3510 looks awesome, just worried it will dwarf my 7in wrist 😄. Thanks for the advice anyway mate 👍🏼👍🏼
@@manuel_winde
I have almost an 8" wrist and I like the size.
thankyou for your effort. i wouldnt off worked a lot of this out
Thanks for tuning in!
The watch is very good, i am planning to buy a PRG340 or PWR3510. Which one is better? What are the main differences?
I'm glad you like it it's an awesome watch 🏆
Absolutely, thanks for tuning in!
I know this is an older video but I was curious what your thoughts were on the titanium version of this watch I really wanted to get something that's at home in the outdoors but could also be used for everyday use.. I was looking for a Pathfinder but they don't make them anymore but the protract I guess is the upgrade anyways thanks for your time
The Titanium version is great but is actually slightly heavier than this version at 128g (vs 92g) and may not be as comfortable than the silicone band for daily outdoor wear/activity, definitely subjective though. I also prefer the display on the PRW3510Y-8 which is very cool and actually amazingly legible in bright sunlight. Hope that helps, thanks for tuning in!
You certainly helped me set the time but the manner in which your fingers were displayed made it for me very difficult to determine exactly which button you were selecting!
I appreciate your feedback, I will definitely keep that in mind on future vids. Thanks for tuning in!
Great video!
Beautiful watch I've love this model of pro trek...
Absolutely agree, thanks for watching!
Excellent review! Thank you!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Great watch. Awesome review bro!!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Best watch
Agreed, thanks for tuning in!
ty for explaining settings
Great video! I just purchased this watch from the Casio eBay store. Now that you've had it for a while, can you tell me how it's held up? Does it scratch easy? Any issues when (or if) you've dropped it? Thanks in advance!
Awesome, I’m sure you’re gonna love this watch…very tough and extremely durable with the steel bezel….I haven’t dropped mine yet but had many bumps against hard surfaces and have no signs of wear or dings…I still wear this watch quite a bit and absolutely adore it. Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@nobetagear I just bought this watch on Amazon and was second guessing my choice but after watching the video, I'M STOKED! Looks even better than I thought. Thanks for the video man. Great job. BTW, I have many Gshocks and other watches, this is my first Pro Trek. Can't wait.
@@grizzle1629 very cool, great watch, it’s still one of my all time favorites! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Order one up last week on line it arrived yesterday 👍😁😍
Very cool, thanks for tuning in!
Nice 5
Thanks for tuning in!
I prefer the PRW 2500! It displayed more information on the screen (day date AND month) plus it had a duplex screen which was great for compass reading etc. The only things the new PRWs have over the 2500 are faster and more advanced sensors!
Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
thank you for the video. also comment section offers lots of useful knowledge. 👌
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Thank you for your awesome videos!!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Awesome video. Very informative. 🤟🏼
Greatly appreciated, cheers!
Was $220 on Amazon but I got a $100 gift card on there so $120 and taxes? Had to do it. Didn't buy it for daily wear but after getting it, I might have to split wear time with my "old faithful" (G Shock GW-A1100).
Awesome watch, still one of my favorites! Thanks for tuning in!
Any Canadians here? I wonder if the Multiband 6 function works fine in Alberta.
Thank you for this video.
Very good question, you’re definitely pushing the outer reaches of the North American region’s signal. Hope there is a local source that can help you verify this. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Worked in Edmonton when I lived there.
Awesome review
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Glorious video.
Great review, man.
Thank you sir!
Great review, thanks
Much appreciated!
Gran reloj espero comprarlo muy buena review te felicito
Was wondering if you'd go for this protrek or the gshock rangeman 9400? They both look awesome and give same functions. Thanks
While both watches are awesome and very similar in size and weight, I definitely prefer the Pro Trek because of the cleaner, easier to read (for me) dial/display and of course the stainless steel, rotating bezel that gives full compass interaction and functionality. That said, the 9400 series is a workhorse of a G-Shock that is so dependable and should run through whatever you throw at it. Great picks either way….Thanks so much for tuning in!
I have a stealth rangeman and it's one of the more badass Gshocks ever made. I just bought the Pro Trek today and don't have it yet but with this video, I'm sure I made a good decision. I would recommend buying either one and saving for the other. It definitely wouldn't suck having both.
Great review I’m on the fence between this and a range man. I have a paw 1100 and I just love it. Question do you think the steel bezel will scratch easily or does it seem pretty tough?
The steel bezel on this watch is extremely rugged and the matte finish is awesome. I have accidentally bumped this watch numerous times against hard surfaces and have been pleasantly surprised thus far ….
Dare I say it’s every bit as tough as any G-Shock I own. You really can’t go wrong either way. Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@nobetagear thanks for the reply and info - very helpful. I’ll put this on the short list. Also looking at the prg 30 series. Really diggin the negative displays of the pro treks. I do a ton of fishing hiking and camping and seems the viewing of the negative display will be better in the sun and outdoors.
Update this watch just arrived. I love it!! Thanks for the review- my son in law wants one now!
@@erikekberg1816 very awesome, enjoy and keep me posted on how it does for you!
Hello, good review of this watch, what zone are you going to use in Canada Alberta? We use mountain time, thank you.
YEA Edmonton is one of the cities that can be selected on this watch when setting up time zones. Thanks for watching!
I have his older sibling prw 3500y-1r with negative display and blueish bezel since 2016. As someone who has a lot of watches automatics and quartz, this is a watch I always come back to.
Only thing that bothers me, is that overtime it really gathered a lot of limestone and seasalt from water and it's really hard to clean all the crevices.
And one thing I noticed. Mine is sapphire crystal, why this isn't?
Great feedback, still enjoying this watch very much...I definitely wish it had sapphire crystal! Thanks for tuning in!
yours is the 3500SYT, the only one with sapphire crystal, titanium and runs the 3444 module (found in PRW 3510) instead of the 3414 usually found in the 3500. which means it also comes with the STN LCD
I believe that is the final top of the line PRW -3500 Casio did and threw everything at it before moving on to the 3510. in a sense, it's the best 3500/3510 unit and (I believe) the only one that features both a titanium band and sapphire
@@ferexx dont you think sapphire is a little fragile for the environment this watch is aimed for_?
@@o.ozanbilen7113 not really, the glass is very deeply set within the bezel so it's not likely to be impacted. on the other hand, you probably get more sand and other dirt on it that can scratch the glass. that being said, you also don't quite need sapphire to survive it so it's not exactly important.
After some time, do you prefer this or the previous blacked out multiband 6 you reviewed? Both look great!
Both watches are awesome, depends on the day ...the Pro Trek is a lot more watch (larger & bolder) but the G-Shock GW2310 is lighter, sportier. Can’t go wrong with either. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review… I have been looking closely at getting a new watch like this… Where can I find the best price for this watch?
There is a link to the one I bought on Amazon in the description, price has been fluctuating a bit but looks like it’s still on sale presently. Thanks for watching!
El mejor análisis de uso. Faltó el subtitulo.
Hola brother, sí está subtitulado. Búscalo .
Viendo este video me animé a comprarlo, saludos desde Perú.
great vid!
Thanks for watching!
Which better between this protrek vs gshock rangeman?
So can pick this up for $297 CDN right now on sale from $450 cdn. My wrist is about 7-7.25 in though so might be too big?
At that price it’s tempting. I’m tired of my Apple Watch. Distracting at best and needs a charge every couple of days.
This watch should fit your wrist size nicely. Awesome watch!
@@nobetagear Bought it. Nice watch. But just me or the display really dim especially in low light almost unreadable? I thought power save might be the cause but turning it off didn’t have any noticeable difference.
I also have the PRG-270. Screen is more readable but I much like the 3500 more as far as features and overall build quality.
@@stephane184 interesting sorry to hear about the dim screen. My version seems perfect to me, hope it gets resolved for you.
How does this compare with prw3400?
What watch you wearing?
Please, what is this cool Bluesy music in your Intro? And where can I find it? 🙏
You’re too kind, that’s the NoBetaGear theme I wrote/recorded in my studio. Thanks for tuning in!
@@nobetagear DAMN! It sounds sweet! I wish there was a 5min or endless loop of it. Perfect highway cruising music!
is this thing some sort of triple sensor chronograph?
Good job
Thanks so much!
Sick watch bro
Much appreciated, thanks for tuning in!
Tiene boton para la Luz??
Wow Amazing
Thanks for watching!
What is the material of the cover for the sensors? Is that metal? Similar to the buttons? Or just plastic? Thanks.
The sensor cover plate on this watch is a hard plastic resin material although it looks great and could easily be confused for a milled aluminum. Hopefully it will hold up over time. Thanks for your question and for tuning in!
I have the PRW3500, is it worth the money to change to this? - or better, is it more advanced?
The PRW3500 is great, pretty much the same capabilities/features as my 3510....the main difference is the display
@@nobetagear thanks!
Great video. What's your wrist size?
Thanks so much, my wrist size is approx 6-7/8.
@@nobetagear much appreciated!
How to brighten so I can see display better?
Not adjustable as far as I know…thanks for tuning in!
Just curious what size is your wrist? just trying to figure it out how big it will look on mine
6.75 wrist size…still one of my every day favorite watches.
Its awesome
Thanks for tuning in!
Very good
Thanks for tuning in!
Hi. So i have a question, is the LCD actually greenish, or white? I keep google-ing this watch and in some pictures the display is perfect white and on some green. In your vid is slightly green. So which is it? Thank you
Excellent question... and tough to answer because I feel that my video captures the color of the display on my version pretty accurately. In natural light, you do get the slightly greener hue but seems mostly warm white/grayish, definitely not a solid calculator-green. In the lights-out shot with the backlight engaged, the green sort of washes out a bit and it leans more to blueish/white. Hope that helps somewhat, thanks for watching!
@@nobetagear Thank you for your feedback. Mainly i asked so I know for sure, if there's another variant with the greenish display. But since there is only one, yours (not counting the different color ones) then i can safety buy it without wandering if I got the right one or not. Cause I do have to say that the greenish display defo look prettier than a white one, for me at least. So thx again. Enjoy your watch, I have a GG1000 Mudmaster, same price. But its not solar, and after 2y runs out of battery and has less features unlike the GWG1000. And if you change the battery it will get foggy so u need to send it to a casio maintenance store. Sucks...
@@Hatrious Agreed, Tough Solar is definitely one of my favorite features on a watch! Thanks and good luck!
Wow it's a sports watch
Thanks for watching my vid!
Just received one, legibility is not that good. It should be listed as a G-Shock
I love it
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
If you compare with PRW-2500, you can easily notice that Casio removed - tide graph and moon information. Instead of going to add new, they remove very important ones. If I need something expensive, I buy golden ones (investment), but this watch should be "functional". 2500 model is 8-10 years old but until now there is no any Casio, that is better than that. Am I wrong?
The PRW-2500 is a very cool looking watch as well. Definitely on my list of watches I want to get. Hopefully I will get to do a comparison. Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there, is this an actual Casio watch?
Is there a legit link where I can go and buy it?
This is indeed an authentic Casio….Amazon: Casio Men's 'PRO TREK' Tough Solar Powered and Stainless Steel Watch, Color:Green (Model: PRW-3510Y-8CR) a.co/d/8dwfCBo
Are you sure it has limitation of -10 C Today in Calgary it is -30 C so I guess this watch would not survive ...
According to Casio’s website the low-temperature resistance on this watch is indeed -10C/14F …not bad for an LED display, but would definitely wrap it up good or cover the screen as best you can under extreme conditions to ensure proper function…Good luck and thanks for tuning in!
could you please tell me your wrist size in diameter. Would have been really helpful to decide whether its gonna fit in my wrist or not . Thanks in advance
Thanks for the feedback, my wrist is on the M/S size, approx 6.75”.
Where can buy it?
Picked one up on ebay auction style for $124.62 brand new.......
ewww neg display
why overpay for this watch when the PAG240 does more for a cheaper pricepoint?
How to reset ABC sensors?
Unsure if there is any way to reset the sensors on this watch other than pulling the battery and replacing. Thanks for tuning in!
Great review of a great looking watch.
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
If the wrist strap wears out, is it easier to buy one.
Good question...I'm sure there are other compatible replacements but the strap on this watch is very high quality so I can see it lasting a very long time.
How do you get the seconds to be displayed in the dots on the outer ring like some of the pictures online?
Good question... As far as I know the outer ring is used to show direction in compass mode and for use w/ the alarm setting in Barometer mode. (If you look closely at the promo pics online the outer ring is not in sync with the seconds). I may be wrong but I believe seconds is only displayed on the bottom (3rd field) of the display on this unit. Thanks for watching!
@@nobetagear OK thanks. I have an older prw3500 I haven't used in a while and I thought you could change the way seconds were displayed. Although while typing this, it just hit me, that was the Garmin Fenix I &II watches I had. Oh well. :) Excellent review btw. (I have one coming tomorrow from Amazon)
Not seeing the link to where you bought it. Can you repost it?

What color is the band? Different sources disagree....
The color of the band is green (I would describe it as flat, hunter green) with black accents (buckle and keeper). This video captures the colors of my version pretty accurately. Thanks for watching!
@@nobetagear That's what I thought from the picture on Sam's Club where I ordered it but they called the band dark gray. Should be here in a few days. Got extra excited after the video. Thanks
