🙏for a detailed yet concise review. Greatly appreciate the UI walkthrough, bravo, you earned a subscriber! And your title matches the video content? No click bait title? 😉What a concept! Other RU-vidrs, take note! I tried this on at REI, it is large but manageable, even on small wrists. Green is my jam, REI only had black. Keep up the excellent work!
I think you gave a very good in-depth on this particular watch I'll be honest I like it I like that color and I think it's a decent watch for what it does and it's a very good price point on it and your platform was excellent and explaining everything in detail which I thought was awesome thank you for sharing this wonderful video 👍
is that so that light is somewhat lighter on the left side of the screen? or that is just some kind of camera effect? PRG-240 have ideal light, without light/dark spots
Great video I have the 240 and it actually has more to offer, I don't know why they took items away in the 340 if they are aiming for the 340 to replace the 240.
I have this watch, but altimeter is not stable, for example I correct it, as 30 m, next day at the same place it shows -25 m, sometimes 55 m, does anybody have same? and how did you solve?
That's normal. It works together with barometric pressure sensor. Higher pressure, lower altitude, lower pressure, higher altitude. It will change daily.
From Casio: Approx. battery operating time: 7 months on rechargeable battery (operation period with normal use without exposure to light after charge) 27 months on rechargeable battery (operation period when stored in total darkness with the power save function on after full charge)
I have a 1998 PRT-30 (without compass), which still works great and looks the part. This new ProTrek, in comparison, has more functions but in my opinion, it is not pretty.
Stoppuhr läuft bis 1000H und nicht bis 24H! Min. 5:00 - ist nicht für Compass kalibrieren sondern Ort-Koordinaten für die richtige anzeige von Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang!
I'm suspicious of the long term stability of this biomass plastic stuff. Smells like marketing BS. I'm sure it takes just as much fossil fuel to make then any plastic watch, but it probably biodegrades far better. Well, I have no plans to throw my watch away, so I don't want it biodegrading on me.
it's marketing bullshit alright, but it is probably not going to biodegrade on you. plastics are basically hydrocarbons which is incidentally called organic chemistry and bioplastics just construct the plastic chain via renewable sources rather than crude oil. some fully biodegradable plastics are made from crude oil too.
Believe it or not global warming is not the controversy in Japan and other countries like it is in the west. That being said it probably takes as much fossil fuel to produce those materials.
@@watchroll3310 Looking at this watch in relation to the 3510 in OD, worried about the same longevity of the plastics as well as the plastic watch-back. Love the functionality of the watch, esp the improved compass. What are your thoughts on the longevity of the plastic back?
@@atomicfrijole7542 longevity should be on par with other plastic parts as it's essentially plastic. but it needs to be out there a few more years before we can really judge. that being said, the plastic backed ones tend to have lower bar rating than metal ones, 100m Vs 200m so it's probably weaker. but how much difference in day to day use is hard to say since most people don't need more than 100m depth rating
@@ferexx Thanks, makes sense. I'm in Colorado so not really worried about waterproofing beyond 10 meters. I've had the 3500 since 2018 and it has been wonderful and taken a beating -- mainly concerned with barometric pressure around here for sudden storms and performance in cold/adverse weather as well as it surviving my general clumsiness. I like the new sensors in there - should make the altimeter much more useful. I should probably just buy one instead of overthinking it. ;)
The biomass thing is a complete gimmick, and it is completely meaningless. There's more waste created by a single visit to Wendy's than is saved by making this watch out of special plastics. It's a classic example of a zero-impact feature.
I don't know man. If I had the choice of buying something that was made of brand new plastic or recycled plastic, I'd always go for recycled. What's the point in making more plastic when we're literally swimming in the stuff already?
@@rickyp9386 Regular plastics are already easily recycled. If you're worried about the environmental impact of a watch that will never be recycled... I don't know what to say. The environmental impact of living for a day or two is far greater than the recycling benefits of making this watch out of soybean oil.
