I’ve been wearing Casio watches for over 50 years and I must say this is one if yhe best looking watches they have ever made. It has many of the features the G-Shocks have withouth the super thick case. I am thin so some watches are just too large but the 6600 fits perfectly. If you look at the measurements be away they are adding the crown and buttons into the figure. I had also ordered screen savers to protect the mineral glass from getting scratched. I recommend it.
PROS:
Beautiful and masculine.
VERY easy to read even at an angle.
Nice size for this yype of watch.
Many features but even though I won’t be using some of them I need a compass.
Atomic clock is a HUGE plus for us time police. ð
Solar powered so battery should last 20 years.
World time and it’s very easy to set.
5571 internal movement is easy to use.
Very nice silicone band with quick release.
Plenty of band holes for thinner wrists.
Black buckle looks good.
Ither bands will fit.if needed.
Easy to use backlight.
Glow in yhe dark work fairly well.
LOUD alarm.
Negative display screen is easy to read.
Tells temperature but it must be off your wrist for at least 29 minutes. (This is normal)
Altimeter must be set to be accurate and then it works well.
Tutorial videos available online.
Packed in a wooden box so it looks nice as a gift.
CONS:
Pricey compared to some other great Casio watches.
Band does not have a locking or wratched keeper.
Light could be brighter.
FYI: Although not a thick watch it may be too thick for formal wear.
Makes people want to be like you. ð¬
This is a fantastic watch. As I get older and my vision dims it’s good to have an easy-to-read-at-a-glance watch. If you are looking for a G-Steel or G-Shock but watch something a bit classier this may be what you’re looking for.
Highly recommended

Great looking, accurate and functional watch
I’ve had this watch for just over a month now. While it took a few days to figure out all the options available on it, after watching a couple of Youtube videos, I figured it out. It is really quite intuitive once you get the hang of it.
I was replacing another Casio solar watch that I have had for many years. I also have several higher end conventional Swiss watches, but this is the one that I normally wear. This watch looks great and has many useful features. I live in California, but it picks up the WWV signal from Colorado almost every night, so the time is accurate to the second at all times. It looks great and is comfortable to wear. I use and enjoy many of the features such as the stopwatch, altimeter and others.
If you like the look of the watch, I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is well made, will save a lot of money in batteries and should last for many years.

Affordable, Comfortable, Feature Rich
This is a wonderful watch. It checks all the boxes, including solar charging and multi-band time update. It is very light weight and comfortable, It also fits my 8 1/4″ wrist with enough extra band length to actually be secured by the band loop. (Big wristed people will understand 🙂 )
I have a GW-9400-1CR Rangeman that has all the same goodies but it is clunkier, sits big on the wrist, and the band is much less flexible. It also lacks the analog hands and hour markers that are much easier to read. The PRW6600Y Pro Trek is a better everyday wear.
The flush mineral crystal is the only flaw in the design of this watch. Like others, I ordered and attached a glass protector that fits perfectly: Finenic tempered glass round screen protector 37 mm 3 pack.

A Very Nice ad hoc watch from Casio! ðð¼
I like this watch! I am an avid watch collector/enthusiast and usually focus on Swiss Automatics from the 50âs/60âs. As a result, I havenât had a Casio âelectronicâ watch since I got as 11 y/o. However, I wanted a watch that I could wear and not worry too much about if I bumped it or scuffed it on a hard surface. So I was looking at Casio âG-Shocksâ when I came across their âPro-Trekâ line of watches that I was hitherto unaware of. After researching the variety of features on the various models in this line, I settled on the 5571 model. As I was just about to âcheck outâ, I saw the 6600 model, which essentially is the same watch, but it had the âAtomic Radio Signalâ feature and was on sale for less than the 5571! Done! I was a bit concerned about the size, as I have smaller wrists and I usually wear watches in the 39mm-42mm range. This watch was advertised at 51.5mm, but I have to say, it âwearsâ a bit smaller. Donât get me wrong, itâs a big faced watch, but I donât find it offensive or âoverbearingâ. I also was anticipating a steep learning curve regarding the usage of features. However, it was fairly straight forward for this middle aged guy and probably a âwalk in the parkâ for the younger generation. The build quality and fit and finish is very nice as Casios tend to be. I like the solar power feature and it only took about a half day long in the sun to âfillâer-up!â I just set it on a nightstand in the evenings and the little led bedside lamp seems to keep it âtopped-offâ. Itâs still new, but Iâve never had any low charge issues. I love the accuracy, as it receives the signal broadcast from the Fort Collins, Colorado, NIST monitored Atomic Clocks. It also monitors other broadcast Atomic Clock signals depending on where you live. All in all, this Casio 6600 is everything I was looking for and has become my daily wearer (for now)! Definitely worth the $253.00 or so I bought it for! Hope this helps!

model PRW-6600Y-1A9CR
empecemos por lo malo rapido: la luz solo dura 3seg maximo, no hay manera de extender la duracion solo 1 o 3 segundos.
al activar una funcion como el compass en la noche, el reloj tiene 24hrs pudieron program que la luz del display se quede encendida por minimo 3minutos para que encuentres tu camino puedas reflexionar la mejor ruta, 3segundos me parece una burla para este tipo de reloj de supervivencia, ojala que casio reflexione en lo que vende y mejor la duracion de la luz el reloj se llama “PRO TREK”, esta en el nombre.
ahora lo Bueno o Excelente.
no pense que fuera a ser tan elegante, a mi no me importa yo lo usaria con traje, esta hermoso.
el peso es minimo, es delgado para tener tanta tecnologia.
el diseño de los numeros esta excelente
el extensible apenas y suda un poco la muneca, con otros relojes suda mas pero no se que tipo de extensible sea y esta super fresco.
Iluminacion:
neta 3segundos, checa el video. peor no se activa al cambiar funciones. no se que estaba pensando casio, pero alguien tiene que ser despedido.
la hora se ve con poca luz muy claramente, solo en plena oscuridad encenderias la luz del display.
el Lume o el neobrite, dura toda la noche si lo cargas 15min, checa los videos, se ve genial.
este reloj esta genial de dia, de noche no seria mi opcion para guiarme, la poca duracion de la luz no ayuda a nada, solo si estas en casa a salvo, usaria otro reloj para senderismo nocturno.
aun asi 5 estrellas el reloj esta genial, se ve genial, la hora se ve claramente todo el dia, genial para mostrar en las parrilladas, pero no salgas a caminar con el te vas a perder.

Added a black diver’s strap (20 bucks) and tempered glass (15 bucks). Am very happy with this watch (it’s been 2 months since I received it).
So many features and gadgets — most I won’t use, but nice to have just-in-case, I suppose. Field watch for end-times. LOL.
Features I do use and/or appreciate:
* bigger face with clear numbers
* self-charging/ solar
* EXACT time with multi-band 6 (auto syncing to atomic time)
* dual-time for world time
* 5 alarms — great for reminders for regular things-to-do
* luminescense is super, and excellent light — both easy to read
* hands-free light is AWESOME. In dark, if you shift/angle your wrist, the light automatically turns on — great feature for when in bed (I rarely take off my watch – lazy)
The user-manual is daunting. I learned all my watch’s features from an awesome 52minute YouTube video titled, “Casio Protrek-PRW-6000…”. (Amazon reviews won’t let me link it, here). All of that video’s content applies to this model PRW-6600Y. And, it was all broken down into chapters. Highly recommend watching this.
No regrets with this purchase.

The watch is bright, stylish and super easy to read. The functions work perfectly. World time, compass, temperature, timers and more. Water proof and the best back light ever. Lights up a soft color and doesn’t flash your eyes out! Nice large face without being oversized like some of the G series. I love this watch.

Love this watch! It combines a sleek, slim design with an impressive array of features like a compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, alarms, stopwatch, etc., all packed into a non-bulky, understated case. It offers the practicality of an outdoor/adventure watch without the heavy or bulky look and feel, making it perfect for those who want functionality and style in one.

The only things that let me down was the negative display which I found hard to read compared with a positive display and no backlight during key presses / functions. Which for a tough solar watch seems bizarre.
