Customer Review: Good Looking Watch But Very Unreliable
I purchased the Japanese version of this identical watch. It is called PRG60 instead of PAG60 in Japan. After a year or so, the light quit working. Then a few months later the compass quit. Then a few months later the Altimeter/Barometer (I think it is the same sensor) quit. Finally the thermometer quit. Now it is an old fashioned plain Digital/Analog watch. I called Casio. They said they will not fix it because they don’t have the parts since this is an international version of the watch!! It is the same watch!! Just with a different model number. But the watch looks very attractive. A lot of people have commented on the appearance of this watch since this is the only Casio watch that has an unusual light purple colored photoelectric cell that looks very pretty. Too bad that it is poorly engineered.
