Nice looking watch. As this is the first STN module we've seen here, do you mind posting some more pictures at extreme angles? It would definitely be appreciated.

This just arrived yesterday. I've never had a PRW-3000, but this watch is basically the same. The differences have been discussed I'm sure, but basically the 3100 gets the stainless bezel and the STN display.

The display is quite nice. As far as I can rotate the watch away from me I can still read it. Tilting it to the side, it's still legible. Overall, the display seems very crisp.

I tend toward mechanicals, mostly, but I've been searching for a nice looking digital for quite some time now; I think this will satisfy that role for a while.

 

Thanks Rocat. I'm not a great photographer by any stretch of the imagination. Not to mention these were taken with an iPhone. I hope this is good enough to get the idea across.







In these photos the reflections appear much worse than they do in actuality.

 

Thanks,

Your photos are fine. Yes there are some photo experts here but most use their smart phones. Heck I still use a 9 year old 6MP digital camera for pictures. Curious, who did you order from?

 

I ordered from Sunknots on Rakuten. As seems to be the norm, clearing customs took longest. Otherwise I'd recommend the seller. Their pricing was along the lines of the other sellers on Rakuten, but Sunknots was the only name that I knew I'd read about on here before.

 

Nice pics.
I haven't been keeping up on all the versions of the 3000, but I dig the SS aspect a lot. The bracelet is SS as well?
Cheers.

 

Thank you! This one has a titanium bracelet.

 

more than the angles of view I am interested in STN LCD,s negative display version readability in various light conditions.the question is that whether the STN display only increases the angle of readability or it enhances (specially negative display)eaability in variouslght condition as well?
this question needs answering.

 

Hiker,

That was a good question. I had not thought of the negative legibility aspect of the STN LCD.

 

I would love for one in Titanium bezel and housing...

 

Good looking watch and nice addition to the 3000 and 3500. Lug width looks pretty small so probably not easy to swap the strap with a Nato.

 

Thanks! Yes, the lug width is the same as the PRW-3000. In many other cases this would bother me, but I plan to leave the titanium band on this one.

 

Congratulation for the nice piece of the watch. I like this lates Casio Pro trek model very much. Could you please check the control buttons? What do you mean, are they made from metal or plastic?
Thanks. Tom

 

As hiker said; the buttons are metal and textured.

 

buttons are metal

 

prw 3100 series went unnoticed mostly.but it is casio,s hidden gem..will try to write a short review on this when I get time..just got mine and it is better than I expected.black version.

 

i checked out this 3100T a couple days ago.
while i admire the concept of having a stainless steel bezel, i just found it looked too shiny for my tastes, plus the bezel with its rounded donut edges just dont do it for me.
and the bracelet is also more shiny than the 3000T?
i think i'll hang on to my 3000T abit longer

 

Very nice display upgrade, but I still prefer the old bezel of the PRW-3000T

 

I was deciding between the 3000 & 3100T last weekend, finally bought the 3100T.

To me, the 3100T had the better display & i also love the stainless steelish look, whereas the 3000T sport the titaniumish look.

For those who prefer the grayish titanium look, the 3000T is definitely the preferred choice & i will buy it too if i got the budget for both.

 

What i really like about this watch is the stainless bezel instead of alumunium as the 3000t. Oh God, 2 days after i used 3000t, there are some paint peeling off or scratching off.

I would upgrade if somebody post a review about how durable it is against scratches after using it some time. Because i use my watch 24/7 except taking shower. I don't really abuse my watch, because i'm the indoor type.

Another complaint is when I used W-S220HD, the alarm is loud enough to wake me up, but not the 3000T. Does 3100T have a louder alarm?

 

I've been impressed with the durability of the bezel on this one. Not a mark anywhere on it so far, and I've worn it nearly every day since getting it. The titanium on the bracelet (if you choose to go that route) scratches much easier than stainless, but overall not bad, really. I have a Seiko Sumo and an Omega that stay on bracelets for the most part, and they feel like they have the weight of a Mack truck my comparison; it's easy to forget you're wearing it.

Keep in mind the features of the 3100 are the same as the 3000 save the bezel and the STN display, which is incredibly readable from nearly any angle.

The alarm is decent, but it's nothing at all like an Ironman. It's adequate, but I always set a backup just in case regardless of what watch I'd use at night.
