Casio PRO TREK PRW-B1000 Channels Yosemite Rock Spirit with Tough Solar Precision
Casio’s PRO TREK PRW-B1000 takes design cues from Yosemite’s El Capitan and packs solar power, Bluetooth, and triple sensors for outdoor use.
Casio is taking outdoor timekeeping to new heights — literally. The brand just introduced the PRO TREK PRW-B1000 series, a duo of adventure-ready watches inspired by Yosemite’s legendary El Capitan rock face. Designed for explorers, the PRW-B1000-1 and PRW-B1000-5 blend rugged engineering with modern connectivity, launching later this month.
The PRW-B1000’s design channels the vertical drama of Yosemite’s cliffs through its squared stainless-steel bezel and sculpted details. Even the indicator hand at 9 o’clock takes shape from a climbing piton — a subtle nod to the gear used by mountaineers scaling granite walls. Combined with large hands, raised indexes, and a multi-layered dial, the result is a face that’s both functional and strikingly dimensional.
Durability is the watch’s defining trait. Casio crafted the PRW-B1000 using a Dura Soft band reinforced with CNF (cellulose nanofiber), a sustainable material derived from wood. It’s lightweight yet highly resistant to heat, cold, and cracking — a win for both performance and eco-conscious design. The case itself is made from flame-retardant bio-based resin that meets UL94 V-0 safety standards, meaning it can self-extinguish if exposed to open flame. Perfect for campers who live life close to the firepit.
Under the hood, the PRO TREK runs on Tough Solar, Casio’s signature power system that turns even weak indoor light into energy. It also packs a Triple Sensor array capable of measuring altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, and direction — the essential survival metrics for outdoor pros. Add Bluetooth connectivity and Multiband 6 radio control, and you get accurate time synchronization across continents, from Tokyo to Berlin.
Pairing the watch with the CASIO WATCHES app unlocks smart outdoor features like automatic altitude calibration, Time & Place logging, and route tracking. A Location Indicator guides wearers toward saved waypoints, while a dual LED Super Illuminator ensures both analog and digital displays glow vividly in the dark. In other words, it’s built to perform whether you’re navigating a city trail or the Himalayas.
Protection-wise, the PRW-B1000 comes equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 100-meter water resistance, and low-temperature durability down to –10°C. It’s tough, smart, and unapologetically built for the elements — all in a design that looks as good in an airport lounge as it does on a mountain ridge.
Pricing and availability details are still under wraps, but the PRO TREK PRW-B1000 feels like a statement piece in Casio’s lineup — a watch that captures the wild beauty of nature while embracing modern tech. In an era where smartwatches dominate, Casio reminds us that real adventure still starts with a compass, a map, and a watch that can handle the unknown.
