A previously unannounced Casio Pro Trek model, the PRJ-B001EX, has appeared in an early retailer listing, hinting at a launch in August. While the full specifications remain unofficial pending an announcement from Casio, the listing details a purpose-built wearable shaped by observations of outdoor routines.
A Strap Designed for Campsite Transactions
The standout innovation lies in its band. Casio reportedly studied how campers manage small cash payments — for firewood, vending machines, or local market stalls — often while leaving a wallet behind in a vehicle. The resulting solution is a reversible strap that converts into a compact coin pocket. When inverted, the same assembly also shields the watch face. The entire unit can be detached and secured to a backpack or tent interior using a carabiner, keeping essentials within easy reach.
Familiar Pro Trek Utility
Beyond the redesigned strap, the PRJ-B001EX carries the established Pro Trek toolset. Tough Solar charging keeps the battery replenished, while Bluetooth connectivity syncs with Casio’s Time & Place app for location logging. The case features a rotating guard bezel to protect side buttons and is built from bio-based resin, reflecting a materials choice that reduces environmental impact.
Feature highlights include dual Super Illuminator LED lights covering both the analog dial and the digital sub-display, 100-meter water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, 38-zone world time, and five daily alarms. The watch measures 50.3 × 46.0 × 13.6 mm and weighs 51 grams. Casio rates accuracy at ±15 seconds per month when not connected to a smartphone. Battery longevity is estimated at roughly seven months under normal use, extending to approximately 18 months when stored in darkness with the power-saving mode active.
Availability Remains Unclear
Pricing has not yet been published, and the company has not formally introduced the PRJ-B001EX through its own communication channels. As outdoor and adventure watches continue to emphasize modular carry solutions, this model’s strap-first design approach may offer a distinct alternative when official details eventually surface.
