Most Impressive Outdoor Watch: The JDM Casio PRG600

[@Tardonis]

hands down the best review on youtube of this watch. spent alot of time viewing others but keep returning to yours. proud to be an owner of one, thanks !!!

[@nickvale9852]

I've worn mine for the last ~5 years. Its been through all the things a firefighter/EMT can put a watch through. It's been inside an elk. It's been left outdoors in sub zero temps for a week when I lost it. It's gone diving. If I ever break it (lets be honest... don't think I can), I'll just by another.

[@PepeDeezNutz]

How do you lose a watch?

[@DavesArchives]

Currently, Kohls is carrying the PRG-650Y-1CR and the PRG-600Y-1CR models. They have 3 promos going - free shipping and discounts ('WATCHES10' and 'COLD'). After the 3 promos are applied, the total after taxes is $195. Really great deal for those of you who have been wanting these Casios. I'm buying both of them - can't pass up this deal.

[@kanebisa]

I purchased last week the PRG 600YL-5 with leather strap. Man, I absolutely love this watch! It amazes me the hour and minute hands can move separately.

[@angeloletizia1029]

It's so weird that whenever I start looking at something in-store, I see your review of it pop up like a week later. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos brother

[@camdenwalker6106]

I got this watch based on your review. I love it. You were not wrong. Temp is off due to body heat, maybe can be calibrated like altimeter just haven’t bothered yet. Compass works. I’m beating on it by bushwhacking almost daily for months and no scratches on the glass. The bezel’s a little worn but that looks good to me. As you say: It makes me happy. My stupid IPhone doesn’t make me happy when I use it to check the time. We’re in political opposition on some things I think, but I love your videos, Nut’n. Great stuff. Keep it up. Thanks!

[@Mr.HikerTrash]

Ive had mine for over a year and it is by far my favorite watch. it is rugged enough for every day activity but classy enough to wear out to dinner. The functionality is superb.

[@norbertcara4808]

I know I have had the PRG 600 1JF for almost 1 year and it is great. Been with it cross-countries, salt water, demolition jobs, gim, etc. and it behaved spectacular. Only have 2 scratches after banging it in some concrete posts.

[@AntOfEgypt]

I’m wearing my PRG650Y, got it while traveling abroad. This thing is crazy functional, love it! Very glad you did this video, once again, very well done Nutn!

[@FloBass]

Man, I've been searching for the right watch (for me) for years! My first serious consideration was the GWG1000. It ticks all the boxes for me in terms of functionality. Time, Baro, Temp, Compass. I've been eyeballing it since it was released, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger due to the size. What a chunky watch! Main reasoning for those features is so I can stow my phone while I'm on the water, and never have to look at. I want to keep an eye on the baro for fishing purposes. Temp, not really needed, but useful for me. Compass for when I'm in the middle of the everglades and I have no cell service (which happens quite often), or lower battery, etc. There's the smartwatch argument, but I really don't want a wrist computer. Personally I'd rather just whip out the phone to access what I need there. Plus, a nice timepiece is just plain cool. I feel as though the individuals who choose to wear a timepiece are a more tasteful breed of human. I have to give a huge thanks for this review. The moment I laid eyes on this watch I knew it had to be the one. I wanted a big watch, but the Master of G series is just a little over the top in terms of size for me. This one hands down has all the right curves in all the right places. This review pretty much solidified it for me, and I just clicked the purchase button after the video finished. What would we do without Nutnfancy?

[@bobmarley6161]

Totally agree love pro trek watches... Protrek prg-600 best looking watch lithe the safari colourway.... Also love the 6600 full Arabic numerals..... But then again love the square G shocks

[@TECHFIGHTER]

I just got the PRG600 in Tactical Black at a steal of a deal. Found it at my local TJMaxx for $120 but with my daughter's employee discount I walked out with it for just a bit over $100. It has many of the features of my way more expensive GWG1000 Mudmaster Maharishi Edition but it's much less chuncky, super light and so comfortable on the wrist. Absolutely love this addition to my collection.

[@FiremanFrach]

Of the ProTreks, I have the PRG-600,650 (Night Safari), PRW-6900 and PEW-6000Y, among others. I find myself wearing the PRG-600/650 the most. Love those watches.

[@0bscura]

Those are great looking watches! I too am a big fan of larger watches. Well deserved HOF rating. I'm still rockin' a Garmin Fenix 3 and was starting to tire of it until the other day when I was on a bike ride with my daughter. She asked, "Doesn't your watch have a bicycling mode?" Let's find out. I scrolled to bicycling and hit start, we took off. It was amazing. Tracked time elapsed, distance, speed, and altitude change. Breathes some new life into this "old" watch. (fenix 5 is out now)

[@nutnfancy]

I feel like I'm cheating when I wear this watch. Another Hall of Fame Casio, the ProTrek PRG 600/650 series is epic. In them you'll find awesome looks, perfect legibility, toughness, solar power, comfort, a large readable analog face, and striking colorations. Meant as outdoor field watches, these JDM Casios have ABC functionality and very legible LCD screens presenting that information. They have also been dive proven in TNP. Like the PRW-6000 series, these are some of our favorite Casios and are used in all adventures. This is a touchstone Casio watch. -nutnfancy

[@jtec99]

I love these watch reviews

[@ryanreese5885]

🤔 so I found this video in the HOF with playlist last night and watched it and it was just released today? Did I just time travel?! I even remember commenting and they’re not here anymore.

[@jacobelder2460]

nutnfancy thank you for all your reviews! I am in college right now looking for an automatic or OTF knife that is semi budget friendly. Do you have a review or any sugestions for such a knife?

[@austin5303]

nutnfancy I loved my 600y for the 3 months that it worked.

[@AdolfHitler-xp1nx]

meanwhile my watches don't even glow at night because i'm a fucking vampire :D

[@Brian-vz5cu]

I've got to stop watching your watch and knife reviews or I'm going to be divorced!!!

[@pibblesnbits]

That's why I'm doing all my big purchases BEFORE I get married lol.

[@HandelOp6No5]

Pibbles 'n Bits go Rolex right now. I’m saving for an explorer and it’s stressing my marriage.

[@pibblesnbits]

Haha, I'm more of a Casio/Seiko guy. Rolexes draw too much attention for my liking.

[@HandelOp6No5]

Pibbles 'n Bits I can dig it. That’s kind of why I’m going with the Explorer. It’s one of the “tooliest”, least rolex like Rolex watches imo. And it’s one of the least expensive. Still way too expensive tho. Lol.

[@pibblesnbits]

Definitely tooly but sure is expensive.

[@Zotrax1946]

There’s a blue and black version to the 600. Great look. Amazing tool!!

[@aricellis]

I never thought I'd own a Casio until I saw your review. I went with the tactical black version and it definitely covers both first and second cool. My POU is for all weather outdoor use like hiking, camping, swimming, and shooting.

[@freedumbfree2055]

I am a Casio junkie, and this is the best watch you have on here! Thank you so much!

My PRG-270B is still going strong after quite some years. Awesome watches.

[@chrisvandergriff]

Picked up the PRG-600YL-5CR with the leather strap. Love it. Thank you for the suggestion. I plan to pick up the gray 650 one also. Keep up the great work.

[@kanebisa]

I got the PRG-600YL-5 with leather strap last week. I absolutely love this watch, looks so great.

[@cantabhiker3285]

Just bought one last week. Really happy with it. The tactical black was 197.00 on Amazon.

[@the74impala]

I have 3 600s and 2 650s. Love them. Especially the glow in the dark band on 650. Camo one is super comfy.

[@loganholmberg2295]

I try to limit my watch purchases to one a year and I've been lusting after the Safari model since I've seen your review around when it first came out. Backlight is not as appealing as some of the other Casio watches but I finally found this for a good price in Canada model PRG-600-1CR....I think the C refers to a Canadian model? In Canada this watch was going for well North of 300 bucks for years as it was not retailed here as far as I know till recently. I only have on watch in my collection (Momentum Vortech GMT with Sapphire. great watch) worth more than 300 bucks (need to remember to live in my means...lol) so I'm always looking for cool watches that don't break the bank like Victorinox field watches. Thank you sir for that! I love this watch. I have big wrists so I think I going to have to NATO it for comfort but this is the first Casio I've owned were that hasn't been a horrible process of trolling Japanese market places and looking for adapters or special spring bars. I should just fit straight up once I remove the old straps I think. Hell for my G Shock Aviator, that I love still, I had to 3d print an adapter for Nato straps.

[@sportsczy]

You are so Right, this is my go to watch. Ive had mine for almost a year and it still looks great... Great review Thanks!

[@spy8464BB]

I stopped going to REI when I found out how anti gun they are. It used to be my favorite store, back when they were more of a gear store. Now I consider them a clothing store with a couple of camping things. My new favorite store is now Autozone. My truck has become a hobby. Love my F150.

[@lxi_zn]

I have the prg 650 with the camo band and they had an exclusive that it came with a spare cf band in black as well. They are available here in Germany. Been wearing mine for almost a year and I'm not looking back. The prg 650 has a better lumination imo. Also you can order the bands separately from prg 600 and put it on the 650, like the brown leather one.

[@johndouty7361]

I love my PRG600. My only problem is that the cloth band gets a pretty good funk going if you spend a few days out in the summer heat. This thing has been covered in motor oil, dunked in rivers and lakes, hit on rocks, and more. Glass is still clear and works like a champ.

[@nf4000]

Another great review of another great Casio ABC watch. I'm a big fan of your channel and the gear you review. I own several Casio/ProTreks and the PRG-600YL is included in my favorites along with the Gulfmaster GWN1000. They really are great all around watches. There is another great watch I own that is in my regular rotation, the Garmin Fenix 3 HR. This watch is a little older (there is a newer version) but I was surprised with its feature set and build quality.... ABC, GPS, heart rate, fitness tracking, 100m water resistant, Bluetooth notifications, 3rd party app support, rugged build quality, usb charging and a battery that lasts a week. What surprised me most was that this watch was not on my radar as an ABC watch, I just figured they were activity tracking devices but they are so much more. It takes a lot to replace the Casio on my wrist and I find myself wearing the Fenix 3 more often than not. I could not find a review for it on your channel, please consided reviewing it.

[@tmurray12]

I have sickle cell trait so the altimeter is what I use the most, outside of time, when I'm going on hiking trips, etc out west. Kind of important information. Haha.

[@Nietzsche715]

Saw one on a forum for sale and I trust you when it comes to value and performance so I snagged one :) Thank You for the awesome work.

[@hispanosaurusrex]

I'm currently looking at this watch on Amazon which it's going for $192. For a limited time only. I'm impressed with this watch after a whole week of researching

[@mikemantho9426]

Love that watch, going to get the black one. I have the Tissot Expert Solar, also an ABC watch, I use the compass and barometer all the time when snowmobiling. Very useful end of the world watches.

[@kene3431]

I put a brown leather cuff strap on mine. Had it for about a year. Love it, I have more expensive watches, but I always grab this one.

[@jimgd4]

I understand why you say that guys don't typically access ABC functions, due to the fact that they require a menu dive. Fr that very reason, and others, my favorite feature set on a G-Shock is the Tide Graph and Moonphase, because those features are typically shown on a constant basis. Those two features, combined with Solar and Atomic, make up my ultimate feature set. Thanks for your consistently great work.

[@PepeDeezNutz]

I agree I live on the coast and use the tide all the time

[@GilesLevy]

Thanks for covering the positive vs negative display so well!! I ordered (going through your link) a 600-1CR with the positive display. Been thinking about these since you with one a few years ago (maybe the 6000).

[@LemurKrazy]

Got the one on leather based on this review. Such a cool watch. 3 purchases based on your reviews so far - busa, star wars hoth protrek and this one. Thanks dude.

[@forty5leftvisuals]

I have the tactical black, the bezel is solid rock. Now my luminox is retired.

[@KyleLeeWoyote]

Man I'm tight but I decided to pony up for the PRG-600Y and have loved it every since.

[@bobcampbell7551]

Bought a PRG 600 a couple months ago. You can get them on eBay for less than $200.

[@AaronsLyfe]

Love my Camo PRG-650 but I now have my eye on the black PRW-60. Hoping we may see a PRW-70 sometime in the future too. These Pro Trek's and Bertucci's are about the only watches I really like other than a few obscure JDM vintage Seiko's

[@burkey2015]

A watch for each wrist, ah lads pure game changer !

[@edmund8954]

It's $140 now on amazon!

[@Burkaflex]

Was considering this one or the Suunto Traverse Alpha. Just bought the PRG600 after watching this. Can´t wait for it to get delivered!

[@danielwood4646]

I may have to go and buy that leather one! That one caught my eye. It would be the most expensive model too. Lol I'd probably buy a second strap for it and wear leather to the office and switch it to polymer for outdoors.

[@the74impala]

I watch the barometer pretty regular for what the weather has in store. I have the leather band, but much thicker than I liked, so I used the silicone one that comes with the camp banded one.

[@Panhandlehomestead]

Love my Casios, have a few PRG’s to go with my plinking. 👍

[@TheRedRaven_]

I’m sold on the 600. I have a Fenix 5x as an EDC but I need a backup with solar in case shit hits the fan. Thanks for the video 🤟🏻

[@LosLocosDeLaPradera]

I have a G-Shock Rangeman (GW9400) that i use daily and i find the barometer much more useful than actual time. Altimeter... meh, sometimes measures go crazy when i go in a train or something. But overall it works beautifully. No need to worry about battery, sincronizing time or whatever. It's a true workhorse. This PRG600 was also in my list and i almost bought it. But the G-Shock took the prize.

[@aritradutta3660]

LosLocosDeLaPradera that's true bro

[@RemiX_O]

I run both the PRW-6000Y and the PRG-600YL-5CR (replaced the stock leather strap with a worn leather ZULU with brass hardware). I love both watches, but I would say that the PRG gets worn more often.

[@mikeg9563]

The watch I wear everyday all the time is the Casio MQ24-7B2, 0.62 ounces. I'm a fan of slim and trim watches that just tell me what time it is.

[@Bababooey2310]

I just pick up the OD green nylon one for my job. I use temperature, barometer and altitude to a lesser degree.

[@MrKevhicks]

Great Review! I have one of these coming today that I picked up 2nd hand for $100 shipped and insured. I have 12 watches in my collection including a 35th anniversary Mud Master GG-1035. I'm betting the Pro Trek is going to see a lot of wrist time!

You should check out the Edifice too.I Love Casio watches. Thanks you so much for these awesome videos.

[@stevepodraza6363]

Are you still enjoying the prg? Which one has the most cool factor? I really like the safari one but there all killer. Great review

[@fredericksharkey8762]

So tempting to spend more money after viewing another one of NutnFancy's watch reviews. Currently, my favorite watch is the Casio G-Shock GA-800-1AANV which is very reasonably priced. Curious if NutnFancy is considering a WRV on the Casio G-Shock GA-800-1AANV?

[@adriang4012]

ummm I got this watch at REI lol. At their garage sale event for $180. Whats with the REI beef, I just moved to Colorado and they have been excellent at gearing me for the outdoors. Love the place. Just gotta be smart and get the stuff on sale if you think prices are high, but that's true with every place imo.

[@brentsealy9623]

They're anti-2A.

[@rayk126]

Because of a former video by you I have been wearing a Casio Pro Trek 6100-Y.

[@Todd_S]

I’m actually wearing my Casio Pro Trek PRG-270 today. They are great watches and I’m a big fan. Someday I’d like to own a JDM Pro Trek or G-Shock. I love these videos!

[@steveb611]

Hi do you recommend the 600 or 650 watch. And which one do you think lights up better at night

[@AntOfEgypt]

steve b it depends on which color you prefer, the 600 and 650 have the exact same functions.

[@JSLCummins]

Just got mine today. Love it.

[@cobyboeder9879]

Nutn, I love your WRVs! I am also helplessly addicted to buying/selling watches. Casio protreks are my personal favorite next to Luminox.

[@Powernoodle_]

I have one of these watches, but it does not have the atomic feature so it mostly stays on the shelf. Having a watch that has exactly the correct time, all of the time, is too good to pass up. I but I do like the watch, and think I prolly bought it because of a prior look that you gave it Nutn. Good stuff!

[@kingsniper88]

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for the video. We appreciate the work.

[@paulgrogan8032]

I find it just so intresting how far the Casio brand has come since the late 70s when they first showed up in the P.X.

[@qwkartist]

Holy shit you actually picked it up. I freaking loooooove mine

[@arthurrobertson1725]

PRG WRV on TNP...all good things!!! Well done Nutn!

[@stevepodraza6363]

Great vid and watch! Love the 600YB-3! Is there a difference between that and the Japan version green band? I know currently the Japan version is $339 and the other is $212

[@darrenjohnson379]

Steve Podraza, I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping someone would have posted a answer. As the Safari version says Japan Quartz and the others just say quartz movement.

[@HandelOp6No5]

Very cool watch. Highly legible. Very masculine.

[@teddyjakeddy975]

I have the 650 Safari and it's as great as you say.

[@tjtrent2351]

Why do you do this to me? First it was guns, then knifes, now I I’m clicking and usually buying watches on amazon. I love the Casios and Wegners so much. Hopefully using the links helps out a little when I can.

[@pkvillager]

I haven't worn a watch for more than a couple of days in 20 years. You know... cell phones and stuff. However it is sometimes annoying to have to stop on a trail while mountain biking to dig the phone out. The PRG-600YB-3CR has caught my eye though... "Nutn said its an investment" maybe ill finally have something for the wife and kids to get me that I don't just buy myself.

[@ALBERK0]

Some thoughts after PRG600 I own: PROS: Nice looking, very readable day/night, great digital display, solar, functions, classy round look, sturdy buttons, hads move off the digital display when needed - cool! CONS: - the stupid crown is UNUSABLE with wet hands or big fingers, or gloves(!), scrolling is never exact, need to go back and forth, because almost everything is set with the crown - alarms, timers, time - rethink your decision - to use the crown you need to retract it (4-5 movements), rotate it to desire settings, put it back (4-5 movements). - the world time is UNUSABLE, the letters are impossible to read, but in bright light - NO Sunrise/Sunset times - how you can call it RANGER or PROTREK watch? - The thermometer takes about half an hour to measure temp changes, if you go outside, usually it only measures your body temp - Cheap plastic band holders/connectors - Crazy stupid lighting - it's max at 3 sec, but it goes off when you press any button! You can't use it in dark - shame. It is a solar watch, I should be able to use lighting as much as I want!

[@jayshwa7275]

Hey nutnfancy. Waiting on my prg600 to show up. Can you tell me which watch band keepers you are using in your videos and what size I need to order. Thanks for the help. Long time lover of the channel.

[@albertjabberin739]

This is a cool watch. Thanks for the review. Just wearing g-shocks now, also a few Suuntos. I just don’t dig the price of the prg600, not when a Suunto traverse alpha runs about the same price and has gps and other cool features.
