Love protrek. Have had a PRW-1300YJ-1JF for over 11 years now! Great watch and very very sturdy. Have treated it like crap and it’s still going strong. It’s my go to beater. If g-shock are meant to be sturdier then they must be built for armageddon!
Have used compass for hiking (backup to proper compass), orienting in new cities, buying new house (which direction is garden facing). Used altimeter when hiking and skiing (interesting to know how high you are and nice to see little graph change as you move along). Never used barometer. Thermometer is useful if you have the watch lying around (as otherwise it just tells you the temp of your wrist). This watch sits on my night stand, as occasionally like to check temp before bed or when I wake up.
The multiband time check with atomic clock is an excellent feature. Updates every evening. This watch is used to regulate all my other watches.
Also solar.
Have been thinking about reducing my collection. This one was at the top of the keeper list because of all of the above.
Only issue for me is that the newer Protreks are pretty big. Waiting for Casio to come out with a ‘small’ version and I may look to replace.
