Casio should pay you for these tutorials, very useful stuff thank you so much. Saves me from having to read that giant owners manual
March 2024... After years and years of different smartwatch and automatic analogic watches I've switched back to Casio again, and never been so happy about a watch, it's indestructible, it's always there for you and precise , and have tons of functions!
Your videos (part one and two) about this watch should be mentioned on the user manual, you did an amazing job, English is not my first language but I never seen a tutorial about a watch so clear and complete, you deserve five star.
I will subscribe to your channel just because of the amazing work you did .you deserve a huge thank you bro.
Have a great future
Thank you for your kind words and subscription!! By the way English is not my native language either 😂
@@WatchGeek that's either more admirable considering how clear and detailed are your video tutorials ...once again we'll done brother!
Both part 1 & 2 were great. Very clear, concise explanation and learned a lot about my watch. I’ll refer back to these two videos as I forget how to do certain things. Thanks for taking the time to make these very helpful videos.
I'm glad you liked it, and you have a table of content so you can jump to specific function
WOW! Amazingly detailed instructions for the PRG 270. I've had this watch for years and never took the time to discover all that it's capable of. THANK YOU, for putting up these two videos. GREAT JOB!!!
I've watched a half dozen of these videos - most of which had either wrong information or were gibberish. One dude said the REC mode was to receive satellite data. Yours was excellent and answered all my questions, even answered questions I haven't even asked yet. I agree that Casio should be paying you.
Thx for doing this, I was completely lost with this excellent, but complex watch!
Thanks for the video, my watch wasn't pointing North no matter what I did, followed the calibration and back to normal!!
Very useful tutorial. I never knew how the barometer actually works in these watches until now. Thanks very much! I just ordered the 2013 version today on sale from Amazon. Looking forward to it. I’m done with smart watches lol
Thanks for the vid! I just got my 1st Pro Trek watch and its a little intimidating at first. But thanks to this vid, I have the watch set up 98% I think and I'm pretty impressed with its capabilities so far. Casio should pay you!!
I've had my watch for a few years now... I still love it!
dude you help me a lot with my watch! thanks for the great review!!!
+Fanis Margonis I'm glad
Everything is the same as on Casio protrek prg-340, great tutorial thanks.
You make truly excellent videos on Casio watches. The best on TH-cam. Very helpful. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks 😊
Thank you my friend!
Your instructions and tutorials are so detailed and informative, yet so easy to follow...
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
God bless and take care...
Best instructional video I have seen. Well done. I have bookmarked this.
Grazie per le spiegazioni molto chiare, leggendo le istruzioni non capivo alcuni passaggi scritti sul manuale, Ma grazie ai tuoi due video molto chiari e semplici tutto si è aggiustato. grazie
Bought this watch a year ago and it kicks ass!!!
Great video. I got mine without the manual , I watched your video like 3 times to learn it. One thing I figure out on my own was changing the measurements to from meters to ft and the temp. Thanks for the video.
+DaddyODylan I'm glad I could help, and congrats on the watch :-)
Thank you so much for these tutorials. And I thought I just bought a watch!
who just bought this watch in 2020 knowing this 2013 model is still better than iwatch?
Having this watch for 8 months and this is a fantastic watch. It is worth every money spent. This watch along with a Topo is more than sufficient to go for a hike, even in an unknown trail. However, I miss the Moon Phase and Tide functionality :(
+Aditya Sundar I know, unfortunately Casio usually makes you choose between the moon/tide or sunrise/sunset
Watch Geek Thankfully the new Rangeman GPR 1000 comes with both, but that's really expensive costing $800. With that kind of money, I could get a Garmin GPS :/ Keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully Casio brings a protrek for around $400 or less
+Aditya Sundar it's $800 retail meaning it will most likely be closer to $500 with time
Hopefully .
Thanks for the replies . You connect with your subscribers :D (Y)
+Aditya Sundar thanks, I try to answer all comments
Just a perfect full review i cannot beleave it thank you very much !!!
The thumbs down are the ripped off Rolex owners. Jealousy makes you nasty
Poštovani, jako mi se sviđa vaš kanal, odličan je. Koncizan, bez puno širenja tema, svska čast samo tako nastavite.
No hteo sam pitati koja je cena otprilike na Amazonu, ja nešto ne radim kao treba pa ne vidim cenu sata.
Hvala vam unapred.
Dude how did you learned all these fricking functions? This is crazy bro.
Great video, you did a good job explaining all the functions of this watch!
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the cristal cleary tutorial
Brilliant review
Always great reviews. Subscribed. And I ordered this because I cant afford the Rangeman top of the range.
Excellent review. I just pick one of these up and they are awesome. As a meteorologist it's fun to play with. My only complaint is that the beep or alarm sound is BARELY audible! It's worthless for using the alarm function. I have several Casio watches and this seems to be a common problem with most of them. Have you ever figured out a way to increase the volume? Perhaps trying different springs that go between the circuit board and back? Very disappointing for what you pay for these. You'd think Casio would have solved this issue of the many years of it happening.
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
great tutorial
Thanks
Thank you so much for this. Very detailed and way easier than the manual.:)
Thank you for compas info
The light function is good. I would depend on Casio in the wilderness as they are very reliable! This can definitely can test on the Mavic like the Rangeman.
+whatsonthewrist Haha that's true, maybe we will hook it up one day and take it to the clouds :)
Great tutorial but a single question, on Barometer i have ºF, and yours are in ºC, how to do swap between F-C?
Is there a degreed university program on this watch?
Tanks..now i know my watch function
thank you ...
how do you change the temperature from Centigrade to Fahrenheit?
Neat, like the Pathfinder does the face turn off at night to save battery 🔋? Also been six years you still have it and does it still work?
Very nice job thank yo for this.
+Loco Patojo thanks :)
great great video
I couldn't imagine wearing one other casio except g-shock.
Is there really any difference between the quality of a ProTrek 3500 and a ProTrek 270. I have a 270 and like the way it looks better than a 3500
I have this watch on its way as I type. Because of your tutorial, I'll be ready when it arrives. You got me thinking. If the thermometer is adjustable, could I not just match the temp while it's on my wrist? The body regulates its temperature fairly well. In other words, the temp would be wrong when taken off the wrist in this case.
I did exactly what you said. Calibrated it while it was on my wrist. That way, the watch reads environmental temperature and not body temperature.
But yes. The temperature reading when the watch is off wrist will not be accurate.
@@niranjanjt I've had the watch for awhile now and other than when my arm is real sweaty, the temperature is fairly accurate. I'm using a digital thermometer in my room to a tenth of a degree. I'd rather calibrate where it spends the most time.
Which is better....gshock gw 9400 or this one....and which watch is more accurate in terms of sensors
Cómo se usa el bisel giratorio ??? 🤔
great vidio
Does this model have the exact same sensors as in the newer models such as PRG 300 and PRG 330?
How did you get the altimeter to show the exact elevation?
Thank you for the vide
+karoly mihai I'm glad I could help 😊
tnks,,,very good video
+gergioz Tdm thanks :)
Can’t see the negative display face. Sure wish you had done this with the positive display.
Thanks for nicely explaining it. I am thinking to Buy this. Does this watch has moon phase showing capability?
Sadly no
Can you change the barometer from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
+Vikings426 you mean thermometer and yes you can, it's in the setup part of the video
Like many before me i would like to thank you very much,understanding and setting function is pleasure with your tutorials and i can enjoy me PTW-3510 without any frustration.
ps
sry for me bad english
I'm glad I was of assistance 😊😊
Thanks bro...cool video
Thanks 😊
Very nice tutorial of part 1 but i can't see part 2...video losding stucks... In 6:24!!!
It used to work, it must be TH-cam problem
These videos have been helpful. Let me ask a question in regards to altimeter. If I want see level (I am using feet), do I just stand near water and set it to about 5ft? Is that how I calibrate it?
Theoretically you can do it like that , if you are at sea. But I just use elevation information of places I know, I know elevation of where I live is 130m so I just put that. Or if I am going for a hike, I use the map. When you are near a big body of water, air pressure can act weird so the altimeter might move around even while you are standing
@@WatchGeek , and once I set it, it should now read correctly in all other areas? Like if I calibrate it to see level like I stated, then it should work correctly where ever I go?
Hi I’m looking to buy either the 270 or 2500 to take on mountain expeditions, so a good CBA would be really useful, but really unsure which one is better & more practical in its functions for this exact use?! I’ve watched both videos, & there are pros & cons to both, so not sure which one would be most useful to me?? Do you have any recommendations on what you think would be most suitable? Thanks
I like the screen and style of the 2500 more, but if you want pure functionality, the 270 is better as it uses the new generation of sensors that are more accurate, faster, and measure longer.
2500 can detect a change in altitude of 10m, while the 270 can detect down to a single meter. So of you're going to use it for climbing, the 270 is a clear winner
Watch Geek... Ok great, thanks for the good advise. Will certainly recommend your TH-cam videos to others 👍
Thanks, I'm glad i helped
Can the temperature be calibrated while the watch is on to reflect correct temperature while wearing it?
Some claim it can, but to me it makes no sense, regardless of how you calibrate, the fact remains that if you keep the watch on your wrist it will get heated by your wrist meaning any change in the outside temperature will be read wrong
I travel from my city into the mountains sometimes 5,000 feet higher than the city. to get accurate baro measurements while in the mountains, can I simply adjust the altitude manually once in the mountains and the baro will reset and start reading for weather accurately?
Baro is always accurate, you really have mess the watch up to mess up baro, altimeter is the one that requires constant adjusting.
So if you're interested in weather alarm just turn it off, you don't have to touch the baro as it reacts to sudden changes, so unless you are flying up the mountain OT should register it
thanks dude
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
Hello again! My watch is having scattered dots on the barometer graph. Is it normal? I live on the 3rd floor, and I work at the 15th floor. Is it the cause of the scattered or the inconsistent barometer graph dots in my watch?
Also, there are some lacking dots in my barometer. Its like a dash line.
Your reply is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance ;)
+Spencer Arsenal it could be that because of such a high difference in altitude you watch shows a great difference in pressure, when the dots are missing that means they are out of the scale of the graph, since one dot is one hPa.
Thank you so much watch geek ;) goodluck to ur next videos!
+Spencer Arsenal you're welcome and thanks :)
So my watch shows me 965 hPA, but on the meteo service map shows 1021hPA. Should i calibrate the watch ?
+Istvan Fazakas if you are very close to the place where they measure the meteo data and if it is at the same elevation as you are, them yes, otherwise no.
I have lived in places where the elevation difference in the same city was HUGE so if a weather station is at one, and you are at the other extreme, there will be a difference
Thx. Usefule inf. I thought that this could wary in the same place :-)
Hello sir
Can u please tell that this model is radio controlled for timing or not
And please tell me which one is better to buy prg 270 of prw 3000
This one is not radio controlled, but the PRW 3000 is, and that's the only difference in functions between the two, making the 3000 better if you live within the signal coverage
hi good day excellent job on the video. i encountered this one problem. I set my location since my location is not listed, and when i went into the the sunrise sunset data it was way off what did i do wrong.
+smokeville100 make sure to select the proper time zone and set up the time correctly, THEN go and setup the location (longitude and latitude) and make sure you set it up correctly, take care of east/west and north/south degrees
Watch Geek I'm afraid my time zone isn't listed. I'm in Trinidad and Tobago which i think is under the Atlantic time zone but I'm not seeing any options as such.
+smokeville100 when setting up the watch choose YZH as your time zone, that is the best suited for your location
Watch Geek thanks a million man will definitely try it.
Please show digital compass with a photo
Do u have any experience, that how water resistant it is? I mean if i want to swim with it or snorkel?
+Istvan Fazakas my friend has had one for more than 2 years and swims with it, no problem
how long you can charging it directly on sun light to get H or fully charge? thanks
It depends, but a week or 2
@@WatchGeek thanks man really like your videos on this watch
@@dreiGodom thanks 😊
how to show level bettery
+tamma phong it's displayed all the time with a small letter.
H-high
M-medium
L-low
Can you manually record any screen?
Not any, but most of the sensor screens
Can this watch be used in a Sauna / steam room ?
I don't see a reason why not.
thanks mate !

How many years did the internal battery reach end of it's live? if it maintain never depleted to Low bat.
And based on Casio website,
support.casio.com/en/support/answer.php?cid=009001001001&qid=130&num=3
the watch need to replace water resist rubber sealed every 2 or 3 years.
is that to be considered or just let until internal battery truly damage, than replace rubber sealed at wise together?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
This watch sucks looks terrible the previous gen pisses over this what was Casio thinking
+Nigel Stevens I agree for the most part, but the sensors on these are amazing
