Casio Gets Adventurous

The Casio PRG550-1 doesn’t have that “living on the edge” sort of name, but this sport watch might not need a snappy name. While it isn’t a GPS or heart rate monitor, it tells times and a lot more including providing a compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer. The second hand on the watch doubles as a compass, while being able to show changes in atmospheric pressure.

With the flick of wrist wearers can also activate an LED light, while an LCD screen can provide compass direction, altitude and more. For the world traveler it can has 29 city time keeping, offers five daily alarms and works as a stopwatch and timer. It is water resistant to 100 meters and can operate with Casio’s Tough Solar Power technology. Press release after the jump
