I go on a hike once every two months.. I was using SGW-400 (which has Altimeter, Barometer and Thermometer), but I upgraded to PRW-35 recently. Unfortunately, it has not been a ‘real’ upgrade (since I don’t find the use of Compass which PRW has and SGW doesn’t have). Also, I wish this had a step tracker which I find really useful during my treks. I’m surprised to hear that PRW-35 isn’t widely available in the US. I always find it listed on Amazon even though it’s surprisingly quite expensive compared to India where it can be bought for as low as $100 when on discount.
I am glad this watch is reviewed. I wish to buy one until my analog Protrek (PRW-50Y) is broken. Unfortunately that takes quite a long time. I just find digitial watch better with digital display only.
I've the PRW-3500 and for the past three years coupled with a Borealis rubber strap and it's my go -to more often than not. So legible, not as big on the wrist as one would think. With the different strap, amazing comfort and durability.
Great watch! Thank you for the review. My gripe with the PRW-35 is plastic lugs, don't trust them in the long term... And the PRW-30 is discontinued, but one can still get the metal lugs with the PRG-30 (which you have).
@ I've seen the watch and it's great, it's just that I try to use these for a long time, and the strap fails first, so you change it, and these tiny holes in plastic that hold the bars start to deteriorate. I'm kind of tired of that so I'm looking to buy the next one with the steel lugs. also - if you really are climbing or mountaineering with these, they better be sturdy.
This Pro Trek has an altimeter/barometer, compass, thermometer, Multiband-6 and solar power. The W217H is a great watch (I have one, and also the B650WD which is the same watch but with a steel bracelet), but is a very different type of product, not a watch for hiking.
@@ge48421 agreed these are 2 very different products. but honestly one hardly uses the outdoor features. for $20 , one could replace W217H every year for 10 years. it has the most commonly used features also with big digits.
These watches, prw-35 AND prw-30 are little gems, mostly unknown to the general public. But for the ones who find them, remain here.
These Pro Treks are great. They don't get a lot of publicity, but so practical if you can find the right size.

I, too, am waiting for the Pro Trek with a step tracker. Hopefully soon 😄
How does the Casio g shock ga-2100 sit on your wrist? Can you please put up a review for the casioak?

Good to know. I think that may be too large for my wrist, but glad to hear others enjoy the Pro Trek line.
I got two of these. You're right. This is the best Casio ever.
It's great. 😄
the BIGGGG NUMBER, i need it 😍😍😍
It's nice and so easy to read.
I’m curious about that one too but they don’t sell it in the USA.
I had to order it on Amazon, shipped from Japan. Might be too small for your wrist size, but great for my small wrist. Love the legibility.
Thanks for making this video!
What's your observations about the accuracy of the sensors on this one?
I can't speak to the accuracy since I hardly use those features. However, comfort-wise, it's great.
I have a PRW-3100YB and the size is fine, but it always tends to roll away, to the ulnar.
Great watch! Thank you for the review. My gripe with the PRW-35 is plastic lugs, don't trust them in the long term... And the PRW-30 is discontinued, but one can still get the metal lugs with the PRG-30 (which you have).
Good to know about the lugs. I haven't had any issues yet, but good to know that the parts from the PRG-30 could be used on the PRW-35.
@@OverCowboy I too was a bit skeptical at first but I've had the prw 35 for over a year and had no issues with the lugs.

Meu polso é piqueno 😂
try W-217H-5AVDF , cheap and perfect

Thanks for the recommendation.
