    Casio Japan announced the PRX-2000T [JP], the newest addition to it series of Protrek watches, which are geared towards sports and trekking enthusiasts. The new model is just 11.3mm thick and features a titanium with carbide coating band and bezel (weight: 105g).

    It comes with a triple sensor to measure temperature, altitude, direction and atmospheric pressure (Casio claims this Protrek is the world’s slimmest watch that incorporates these functions). The PRX-2000T can receive signals of all the six different time calibration signals used in the world.
