CALLING ALL WATCH NERDS - Casio Pro Trek Information

Happynoj · #1 09-01-2009, 04:07 PM

Hi there

I am not a watch nerd. I know very little about watches.

I found a watch the other day. It looks quite nice. It also doesn't look new. I don't have it to look at right now, and I don't have a photo. I don't know the exact model number. I do know that it is a Casio Pro Trek, and I can describe what it is like. I'm hoping that some of the people who are knowledgeable about watches can help me work out exactly what it is, how old it is, etc.

So...

Casio Pro Trek. Metal wristband. The face showed the time, date and day. If you pressed the lower right button ('adjust' maybe?) the date and day were replaced by the temperature, air pressure, and a graph showing air pressure over the last 24 hours. There were 4 buttons around the edge, and one at the bottom of the screen. The top right button was 'light'. The bottom left button was 'mode'. Either the bottom right button or the top left button were 'adjust'. I don't remember what the other button was. The button below the screen might have been labeled 'bearing'. When you pressed it, it took your bearing and displayed your direction (NNW, E, WSW, etc) at the top of the screen, and also your bearing in degrees.

That is all I can remember for now. If anyone has any information that can help me I will be very grateful.

Cheers

PLEASE NOTE: I am making every effort to find the rightful owner of the watch, as I gather that they can be quite pricey. I am just trying to find out this information for my own interest.

Why are we born? Why do we die? And why do we spend so much time in between wearing digital watches?

BTW, my "Why are we born line...." is from the Douglas Adams books (Hitch Hiker Guide to the Galaxy, etc...).

Put an announcement on the local Craigslist but don't fully ID the watch - hold back details that only the owner would know. Ask them to contact you and identify it.
