The PRG-80 Titanium model contains all the features and functions that alpinists have come to expect from the PRO TREK series. Treading on the origins and popularity of the PRG line, it includes Casios Tough Solar power system that eliminates the worry of running out of battery, as well as triple sensors for reading altitude, direction, and barometric pressure. New to the PRG-80 is a differential pointer on the LCD display to track latest changes in barometric pressure and altitude, making on-the-fly readings possible and staying ahead of the game even easier. An expanded memory function stores historical to-date altitude data and can display the highest altitude, lowest altitude, total ascent and total decent for better results tracking. The PRG-80 also features a 30 city world-time function, a first for a triple sensor watch, so you can be sure to have the right time no matter where in the world the adventure takes you. Despite its powerful features, the PRG-80 follows the tradition of PRO TREKs design to be easy to use. The large LCD watch face displays information in a simple, easy to read format in all modes. The full auto EL backlight illuminates the entire display for easy viewing in the dark and automatically activates whenever the watch is angled towards the face for viewing. The PRG-80s easy-to-operate buttons are large enough to be pressed with gloves on and all three sensor modes can be accessed with one button press alleviating the hassle of cycling through functions. Water resistant to 100M and encased in a sturdy resin casing and protective stainless steel bezel the PRG-80 is equipped to withstand harsh weather and rough use. The PRO TREK PRG-80 is a critical piece of equipment for any serious alpinist.

Summary: Outstanding time keeper
Comment: I bought this watch when it first came to market (about six months ago). It is a large watch, and it's not elegant in any stretch of the word, but it is built with self protective contours, and it's display is nothing short of awesome.
As for it's features, refer to the product description or free manual. It does everything Casio claims it can do, and does it in supurb fashion. It really is an awesome watch.
There are a couple of issues that I really want to point out though. First, the display is incredible. Even for a 51 year old like me, it is clear and sharp, no matter what mode is in play. The auto illumination mode takes it's toll on battery life, but it works like a charm, and can be turned on and off as you please. I leave it on in the summer, and switch to manual lighting in the winter. There is no pressing need to do that, but I enjoy seeing the battery charge indicator at the full mark all year long.
Just remember what I said. The display and the lighting are the best ever offered in a watch. You will be amazed. No kidding....
All of the sensor features are top notch. Don't even give them a second thought. You would be hard pressed to buy better at any price.
OK, here is the clincher for me. Casio claims that the watch is accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month. My watch has been keeping perfect time with a WWV radio controlled Seiko wall clock since the day I bought it. That's about six months now. Not even a second lost or gained during the entire time. That would make it the most accurate wrist watch I ever owned. By far. I heard a rumor that Casio has added radio timesetting to the next generation of Pro Trek watches, but I have not seen any announcement from Casio,
Still, unless my Pro Trek watch is a freak of production, I suspect that the PRG-80 series is already under radio control, as I have never owned a watch that can maintain perfect synchro with a radio controlled WWV wall clock for nearly six months runnung, yet mine does it very well.
I collect Citizen and a few other brands of watches, and I'm very happy with them. That being said, no watch I have ever owned is as bullet proof, functional, or as accurate as the Casio PRG-80 series wrist watch (I have the titanium band, but it should not matter a bit. The movement and case should be the same). It is simply awesome, and I still suspect that they might be radio controlled. I have never, ever had a wrist watch this accurate in my life.
Buy one. You can still collect other brands, but if you own this one, you will own a stabdard to set all the others on for years to come.
I'd be interested to hear from others about this watch. Having a full function, easy to read watch with the accuracy of an atomic clock is beyond any expectation. The PRG-80 delivers on all of it's promises.
