NEW TOY: CASIO PROTREK PRG-80T-7V

MY NEW TOY: A WATCH by the name of CASIO Protrek Triple Sensor PRG-80T-7V. I bought it on Thursday 22 October 2009 at Hang Thai Watch SS2. I paid RM1000 for it. It bundled with lightweight Titanium Strap instead of Rubber ones found in Newer and more sophisticated but bulkier PRG-120T which costs RM100 more.

It comes with 1 year worldwide warranty. Overall, I enjoyed my new toy. MORE FEATURES than my TISSOT(R) T-TOUCH(R) which was given by my dad for birthday back in 2003.

Without further ado, here's some information, photos and specifications of my new toy...
