Casio Protrek PRG-340 Watch Review

[@Bakamoona78]

I love Protrek' s, I own a PRW-3500Y and absolutely love it. I have my eye on the 340 in green, Hopefully this year 🤞Thanks for the review!

[@Treed_Creek]

Good luck 🤞 I'm just getting in the game 😁 and looking for a good place to start 🤠

[@MrSonofagun45]

I have the same watch and love it. Lightweight, easy to use and read, comfortable, attractive. Thanks

[@loganholmberg2295]

totally want to get the titanium version of this.

[@ahha6304]

I have 340T, got it because my love over 250T while it is in full service

[@desidesigning]

I've got 2x Pro treks. Absolutely, love em.

[@tcwhite0104]

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.

[@Jesssco]

340 is the upgraded version of 240

[@tcwhite0104]

@@Jesssco oh I understand I actually met I have the 2500 not the 240. Lol my bad. The display on the 2500 had tide graph and such

[@rustyjocsen5260]

2500 is a beast. Better overall. Misses only sunrise/sunset.

[@LordBagdanoff]

What did they remove??

[@tcwhite0104]

@@LordBagdanoff I meant the 2500 it has a tide graph and moon phase

[@אנדריילוין-מ8ק]

How loud is the alarm in this watch?

[@albertspaargaren]

Thanks for the review, only one question how can I set the time ?

[@אנדריילוין-מ8ק]

what is the name of this model prg 340 and what's next?

[@electroumit]

Thanks. Awesome review.

[@davidschulz5334]

If they would just bring back the moonphase on the main screen it would make it much more interesting to look at

[@henrypham562]

How accurate is the compass?

[@shmvon]

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.

[@joeframo3347]

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 👍

[@watchroll3310]

I appreciate that!

[@delmusdugan]

I do like this watch and was thinking about buying.I ended up buying the pwr2500r-1

[@DenBozhok]

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

[@watchroll3310]

It might be the camera effect

[@gcpz1173]

Main light source 2 led is coming from the left side of the watch

[@LordBagdanoff]

Can’t believe after 12 years they made the new model

[@JohnBurrows5635]

Hi, ¿does it measure the water temperature when you are diving?

[@watchroll3310]

Yes but not recommended to press the buttons inside the water. Only on the frogman

[@miksmi]

🙏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 KZbinrs, 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!

[@watchroll3310]

I appreciate it 🙏

[@MartinLuetzelberger]

I'll have one soon too. Just don't know whether green or black.

[@frankschroth4038]

Same here, can't decide either!! Tell me please which one did you buy !!! Frank

[@amoszazoun8951]

Is there a model with negative display?

[@Jackbig47]

Is there autolight fitur?

[@gregory4154]

I cannot understand a word you are saying. However, I suggest looking at a Seiko 5 watch, if that is the point of this video. Seiko 5.

[@miroskolken3263]

Can I change the temperature to Celsius???

[@lawyer872]

Of course

[@vzool]

What about the battery, is it rechargeable or replaceable? How much the battery will last after being recharged or replaced?

[@Jesssco]

It’s solar. You can keep it in the sun for half a day for getting fully charged and it has battery indicators too

[@harvmoy5977]

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)

[@KamleshDesai]

Battery will last you about 5-8 years if not more. I have a PRG80T

[@himanshikalsi]

I have PRG 110T. the battery lasted for 14 years 😅

[@sanjay3873]

I dint see auto light in darkness. I have titanium one. How to enable it ?

[@gcpz1173]

Long press the Light button

Can it use radio control signal.?

[@watchroll3310]

Yes it can

[@LordBagdanoff]

Definitely one of progress main feature

[@GBirkol]

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?

[@emdblyou]

That's normal. It works together with barometric pressure sensor. Higher pressure, lower altitude, lower pressure, higher altitude. It will change daily.

[@LV-42617]

@@emdblyou Only Casio altimeters change without actually changing the altitude. Other companies are far more advanced and can can detect the difference between changing altitude or changing regular air pressure. But to do that, the watch needs to determine between sea level pressure and environmental pressure and that is something no Casio ever can or could.

[@alfa803]

The barometer is quite inaccurate due to the constantly changing altimeter!

[@noorasdi]

Great video...thanks

[@kokitch2000]

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!

[@watchroll3310]

That's right

[@bluedeskfan2754]

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.

[@ferexx]

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.

[@watchroll3310]

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.

[@atomicfrijole7542]

@@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?

[@ferexx]

@@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

[@atomicfrijole7542]

@@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. ;)

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

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.

[@rickyp9386]

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?

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

@@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.
