Just found one of these on eBay! Amazing watches. Get one while you can, people! Thank you for this excellent video. I'm an old school analog watch guy but these Casio digital watches are superb. So many features that I get to learn about and use. Your content really helps me navigate the murky waters and take advantage of all the features on these excellent time pieces.
Thanks for that comment mate - glad you’re loving it! :)
I had one of these in highscool and i would actually predict rain right before it would fall. My friends use to be amazed. Actually mines was a triple sensor, but it had a piece that pertuded out the side.
Awesome mate, thanks for sharing that! Yeah many triple sensors from Casio these days have a sensor cluster that sticks out of the left side, e.g. PRG-270 which I also reviewed: th-cam.com/video/0BBmfg_rsYo/w-d-xo.html
Amazingly coordinated spruiking posts!
I got my in 2009 and still have it love it
Watches come and watches go but G-Shocks last forever :)
My battery died like 7 yrs ago. I should replace the battery..good looking watch
Ryan .K did you figure out how to?
@@JuanRuiz-ji6ug yes. I saw TH-cam video. But I need to buy small screwdriver set and batteries.
@@JuanRuiz-ji6ug how to replace casio by Perth watch
Had mine almost 20 years and never a problem. The 4 batteries are different to the newer tough solar watches, and the strap is specific to the case. My PRG270 soooo much smaller, but my GWG about the same size...
20 years, wow I didn't know they made them that far back! Maybe that was the Triple Sensor Ver 1? These watches do tend to take a beating and keep going - good to hear of your experience!
I have also had mine for 20 years.... Replaced the battery three or four times and i am on my second strap. Looking for a new one as its starting to show its age now. Anyone selling a new PRG-40??
I have the same watch and I've used it for years for caving and camping. Mine has a lot of scratches and minor damage and it still works like it was brand new. So tough and very useful.
Yeah that's the thing with quartz, they're tough like that and will keep working until the moment it dies :)
I found this watch online and it’s in perfect condition, even the strap barely has a wrinkle. I changed the battery/4 of them and from the adjust button the tiny spring came out. Just need to put that back in now.
Nice one! Yeah 4 batteries - I made a video on the battery change procedure too!
Its a great looking watch, still got mine, bought it in 2010, scared to wear it as its hard find parts for it, great vid, 👍👍👍
Yeah agreed... it’s a great piece!
I just got mine about 3weeks ago used but looks new ,great watch and does a good Job for me a strong watch and very stylish.i do have expensive watch but this one is a daily watch
Nice. What’s your expensive watch?
After over 10 years of use the batteries in my pag40 died. Most pathfinders and pro-trek watches have 🔋x2 I have the model with the white cover over the altimeter, compass and barometer buttons.
Is that good? Sounds good
Nice sounding Subaru interrupting at 5:09 👍
Oh really? I thought it was a Nissan actually...
Just picked one up almost new for 120usd. Its going to be my second PT watch. Yours looks great. I wonder how is it doing after all these years. Cheers!
I’ve since sold it but I’m sure it’s still going strong :)
I ordered one of these on eBay the other day.
Really? I didn't know they still make them
awesome
It is ;)
I had one since 2003
That’s great! Has it been in constant operation??
@@PerthWAtch yes until now 😅
Incredible!!
@@PerthWAtch yes its amazing still working
Just picked one of these up for 67usd to replace an aging suunto core. Where is the temperature sensor located on this watch? Thats the one thing I didnt like about the core, the temperature sensor was against the wearers wrist so to get an accurate measurement it would need to be removed for 5 ish minutes before the reading was correct.
I can’t recall where the sensor is exactly but same problem with this watch - your wrist temperature makes the reading inaccurate in most circumstances.
@@PerthWAtch I sort of figured it would be that way. Is the face crystal or some other material? That was another downside to the core. It had a crystal face so it resisted scratches very well but the few that it did get were very noticable and would not polish out.
Just standard Casio mineral crystal
What is the difference between protrek and pathfinder????
*Pro Trek* is the overall name for these range of watches these days... from my reading it seems that *Pathfinder* is an older sub-line name applied to some watches marketed in the US. Almost all current models have moved on to the name *Pro Trek* although you can still see some remnant of the old name being used in models such as the PAG-240 (internationally it is now the PRG-240). Pro Trek models have the suffix "PR" whilst older Pathfinders have "PA" - you can see that all watches are now designated Pro Trek on the international site: www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/protrek/
hi, how.can we set alarm for abnormal magnetic reading on our compass? thank you.
I am not aware that this is possible... recommend to check manual.
I've been looking for this model everywhere, do you have any idea where I can find one (used/archived/whatever..)?
Very keen on this one
There's one on eBay now from Australia, but not sure if will post to you. Why are you keen on this model specifically? Have you considered the updated version PAG240 with solar power and new sensor version?
Perth WAtch i do like the newer 240 model as well, but this one has a bigger screen to bezel ratio which I appreciate and it seems easier to read when outside. Also the top green graph slot seems bigger than that of the 240 model. It also belonged to someone i was very fond of as a child so it all adds up i guess.
Thanks for the update - well thought out reasons, and I can sympathize with the last comment which in many senses trumps every other reason. All the best with your search - I think it shouldn't take too long for you to source one. Have you tried posting a "Want to buy" on some forums? I can recommend WatchUSeek.
Perth WAtch thanks, I haven't tried posting anything yet, is the one you mentioned available in the USA for 26$ (blue bezel)? It's the only one i found. I will try posting on the forum you mentioned, thanks for that! :)
This is the listing I found: r.ebay.com/V7pYo8
Do you know how long is the lifetime of the triple sensor? How long will it work right?
Hi there, that's a good question. A quick search around various forums and user groups suggests to me that the Casio triple sensor modules work essentially for the life of the watch, and for a solar watch that would be many years. There are some reports of inaccurate pressure and compass readings, but these seem to be rare, and readings in newer watches can all be calibrated. This particular watch I have owned for 8 years and have had one battery change - the sensors still all work fine. Regards, Ivan.
Accuracy of these sensor's not accurate generally barometer and altimeter changeable according to pressure and temperature of weather. Whenever you calibrate it values always change and not accurate but gps is better than the other sensors at least gps has up to 10 degree different than correct direction. I have been using protrek PRG 40 for 10 years all sensors are in good condition.
I love mine...but 2nd or 3rd time I"ve had to replace all 4 batteries...tha's 25-30$ a pop.
Well not bad if it can last 3-4 years. It's $10 for the 4 batteries for me ordering via eBay. Check out my video on replacing this yourself if you haven't already :)
Does this model have a countdown timer?
Check out the video for the answers to this and many for questions!
I have with titanium strap
That’s very strange
Does the pag 40 have a countdown timer?
Can't remember - if I didn't show one in this video then it doesn't...
Is it tough solar for this model,?
This is battery
How do i turn of the auto function in the rec mode?
What?
@@PerthWAtch Hello. Thank you so much for getting back to me. My initial question was incomplete. I wrote in haste from frustration. I will begin again and attempt to be a bit more clear and again, thank you for responding back to me. I purchased a PAG40 recently. My question - is there a way to turn off the REC - auto feature (the second MODE press), or am I not understanding why I cant, along with the significance of the feature? Could you do a video about all of these many other displays? I'm finding the watch to be a bit complicated. The online instruction manuals are a bit vague. Thank you for your time.
I’ve sold the watch. Probably best to post your question on a good forum such as WUS. Cheers.
Altimeter full, how do I clear?
Sorry man I’ve sold the watch - if I were you I would download the manual (available free) and check
Does the compass also works?
Yes it does :)
Perth WAtch ok Thanks
Perth .
Light color ?
Hi there - are you asking if this watch is available in a light color or what the color of the back light is? The light is bluish when viewed in total darkness. Cheers, Ivan.
is ther a timer
Hi there - no unfortunately *there is no countdown timer* in this model. There is a 60 minute 1/100 sec stopwatch. Cheers, Ivan.
Great watch but nobody can set the time
Everyone can set the time
I need help
Please state the nature of your emergency ;)
Perth WAtch thanks to your video I understood
Ah ok, glad it was helpful!
..
你在说什么?
Looks like a bodgy one..look at the name casio.. the screen has a fault.
Yes, I believe I mentioned that the screen has a defect at the 6 o'clock position.
