Design and display
A rugged look has become synonymous with Casio (Considering G-shock watches); the Pro Trek is no exception. This smartwatch is heavy on the wrist, as the dial has layers of protection to make the watch withstand extreme conditions. The casing gives it a metallic look, and the bezels are thick.
The straps are thick but complement the overall look. We, however, felt that the buckle could have been of a better quality.
The Pro Trek has almost everything when it comes to sensors. It shows air pressure and altitude, and there are sensors for accelerometer, gyrometer, besides a magnetic compass.
We couldn't resist testing the durability, so we did a few drop tests and found that the smartwatch was not at all delicate. We could even carry on wearing it in Delhi's sudden January rain. If that wasn't enough, we couldn't help giving in to the temptation of putting the watch under water for a moment. Guess what! It came out just fine.
The only major negative in this watch is overshadowed by its positives. The GPS can be used online as well as offline; you can also enjoy your music using Spotify.
You can also select from watch faces.
Battery
Smartwatch batteries typically do not last very long; if they go on for over two days, consider yourself lucky. The Pro Trek also lasts just 2-3 days on a single charge. We had kept the brightness high and used the watch for several daily notifications, from WhatsApp to Twitter. If you're using it for any such activity, be sure that it will eat up a lot of battery.
At Rs 31,995, the Casio Pro Trek is value for money. It is best suited for outdoorsy people. There are ample features this smartwatch offers which can only be optimally used by those who take delight in adventure activities. From key metrics to complementing modern-day needs, the Casio Pro Trek is worth the money.
