If you are a thrill seeker…you may have come across something that you really-really like. Something that as tough as you. Something that you have been eyeing for quite sometime but never really finalise your decision to purchase it cause you know you have so many other commitments in hand for the time being.



The Casio PRG-80T is really sometime like a dream of my life for a year + now. It has: - Electro-luminescent backlight Full auto EL light, afterglow Solar powered Low-temperature resistant (-10 °C/14 °F)

Looking at the above amazing things that this watch can do, I would definitely said that it surely will be a good buy provided the person really know how to benefit from it.

The price may be at the high side in Malaysia. But if you happen to be in USA, you may want to check it out as I have seen this in ebay, amazon, etc and it is pretty reasonable in western country. Anyway, electrical gadgets are always more expensive in Malaysia.

Also if you are a person who is very outdoors and always with lots of activities, the time peace may be a good companion to you. It really ROCKS.

Wow… I’m now also a promoter and marketing manager for www.casio.com hahaha. This happened when you have extra time once a while…

Cheers for the DAY DaneilNKH
