5.0 out of 5 stars

This newest version associated with Casio's Pro-Trek 5000/5100 series is actually visually striking mostly matt black and sporting some sort of polished black inner bezel where the degrees are generally listed in orange. Using its' one-piece covered nylon strap, this brand-new Pro-Trek sits about 18mm high or regarding 3-4mm higher using a wrist than the ordinary 500/5000 model based on how tight the observe is worn. It also comes with a second elastic band with rubber no-slip grips within the back, and the gear must be removed this rock band to thread it through the strap adapters on the timepiece. The solar panel around the face has a awesome dark color, not some sort of blue or purple shade that some other solar power panels have. The LCD display has a sight orange tint keeping with the actual theme of the watch. While the minute hands will cover the Liquid crystal display, there is adequate space to read the actual display at an direction even with the side covering it. 

The hour and minute hands have got a generous amount of light on them (for Casio standards) and maybe the second hand is wholly luminous on the rule beyond the eye. The hour markers do donrrrt you have as bright of brightness, nor do they stay bright as long. This back-light is your bright white LED that will illuminates across the face from the 6 o-clock position. It is dazzling enough to read the particular hands and most from the LCD display which is not back-lit, and can be set to auto-illuminate in 1 and also 3 second increments. 

The particular ABC functions are much like other Pathfinders and pro-treks in this kind of series as the second hand is used to determine barometric and altitude differential as well as acting as a compass needle. Inside the compass mode, the diplomas are also listed within the LCD display. The graph is small located about the right side of your LCD display, giving trends for barometric pressure plus altitude. The markings about the watch are small, plus do hinder some of the functions that are better to read on an almost all digital Pro-Trek or even Pathfinder model. 

A distinctive feature to this number of watch is the Challenging Movement, which will auto-correct the placement of the hands once they be exposed to surprise or a magnetic field. Other things to take note are that the community time is selected in the list of cites round the dial. The watch has multi-band 6 nuclear reception and the links can be muted. Possessing the mode button for 3 seconds in almost any mode brings the enjoy back to the property screen.

This Pro-Trek is one that is expensive of all versions released in this series, but the striking color scheme, rugged looks and effective feature set make video buy for any collector or casual adventurer able to sacrifice some readability found in all-digital ABC designer watches for slick styling.
