Casio Launches New PROTREK WSD-F20 Smart Watch, G-SHOCK Coming Soon?

Casio launches its second generation of its Smart Outdoor Watch under its PROTREK branding. The new PROTREK WSD-F20 will run on Android Wear 2.0 and is equipped with low-power GPS and new colour map functionality that can be used offline, which significantly improves its usability as a standalone wrist device. The Smart Outdoor Watches are already water resistance and tough performance for outdoor activities, maybe we will see one brand under G-SHOCK soon.

Singapore is privileged to be the first country to have a preview launch before the rest of the world. You can pre-order your PROTREK WSD-F20 at Singapore IT Show from 16-19 March 2017 at Suntec City. The PROTREK WSD-F20  Smart Outdoor Watch will be launched globally on 21 April 2017 at S$699.

The new WSD-F20 can be used in areas without cellular service, so you can go on an adventure anywhere without worrying on connectivity on your GPS. It further incorporates a richly-designed and easy-to-read map data from Mapbox, which is used worldwide. Maps can be downloaded in advance to the WSD-F20 and used with GPS data to track your location, even when offline. The new Location Memory app enables you to customise maps by adding markers and notes, so that you can revisit otherwise unmarked spots such as a great viewpoint on a hike or a good fishing spot.

In terms of design, button guards, a protective bezel, and side buttons of varying sizes enhance operability and toughness, making the WSD-F20 an even more useful piece of outdoor gear. It supports a wide range of outdoor and water activities and can be used during activities, such as trekking, cycling, fishing, winter sports, and watersports.
