Casio SGW-1000 Budget Triple Sensor Watch - In Depth Review

[@international_dave]

I took one of these casio altimeter watchs onto the steps of the capital building in Denver (the mile high city) and the accuracy was spot on, 5280 feet!

[@964tractorboy]

It looks to me like Casio took everything to another level here. The ability to calibrate and customise really surprised and delighted me. I have a new-found respect for these watches. Thanks for educating me, Greg!

[@jsijanta]

God bless you walmart for selling to Greg at clearance price all the time!

[@Redhood-417]

Finally found a SGW1000 at Walmart for only $19 today. First thing that came to mind when I found that deal was "Greg would be proud. Haha! Loving this watch so far.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Well done! At that price it’s a must-have.

[@bleikrsound6127]

Just picked up this watch (all black with dk purple), and a WR 100M fishing watch at Walmart clearance shelf - $17.00 for both, and they still had a few left. Might be worth a check in your areas. Purchased these on 4/23/22.

[@guruofendtimes819]

This watch has worked flawlessly for 4 years. I will be putting panasonic battery in this week.

[@Alex-px2mb]

I just found your channel and Wow! I'm impressed. You really do a great job with this watch. You're very thourough and clear, and your pacing and narration are friendly and on-topic. Excellent. I'm buying one.

[@DM-0072]

I love mine....reminds me of the old abc pathfinders . Battery lasts ok ....wear mine daily.

[@maxstuder6477]

Greg you just made my day. Thank you for a great review.

[@lulul]

casio has a budget line of watches called Outgear that are meant for outdoorsy people.. this watch (sgw1000) is the most expensive of them (~$75 usually) and there are a few others that have twin sensors and start at about $35 like the sgw100, sgw300, sgw450... (i think all the model numbers start with sgw...).. all have 100m WR and have functions that are useful outdoors like compass, weather alarm, altimeters, temperature...

[@jeshu8372]

weather alarm? which of them? thank you

[@lulul]

@@jeshu8372 the ones that have a barometer usually have a weather alarm also. The most affordable is the sgw300.. Just check the specks on Casio's website and watch some youtube reviews to be sure they have the weather alarm..

[@edkastlie8602]

It’s a cool ABC watch - Altitude, Barometer, Compass. Also got mine on clearance from Walmart for $19...but they originally retailed at $130. Score! [I was hoping that it had multi-band 6 :( ]

[@seanrich7969]

Got a PRG-340 and its crazy how similar it is. Everything from design to function is nearly identical. Only real upgrades are tough solar, more accurate (and smaller) sensor, and better compass visual because of the second LCD layer. Still keeping my eye on the watch bins for this beauty!

[@traviswalker8933]

The sensor is the same V3 sensor. Just the cover is small on the watch case.

[@anulearntech]

you mean this sensor has an precision of 1 meter instead of 5 meters? I saw a video comparing older PRW2500 with newer PRW3510, the newer was changing its altimeter by 1 meter when elevated by a meter and the older 2500 was fluctuating by 5 meters. What's the precision of this sensor? thanks .@@traviswalker8933

[@BeaverDaveECV]

I got this watch at Walmart for the $25.00 It is the last Casio I wil ever buy. It has been back for repairs where the put in a new module. The Baro and Alti both say "ERR" I replaced the battery a few months ago and today it reset to 1-1 and noon. I reset the time and got a replace battery a few hours later. Glad you had good luck I did not. This is the third Casio. I also have the twin sensor that is working but the watchband is unique and I cant find a replacement for it. The battery is a pain in the AS__ to change. and the alarm is so low I can't hear it. Both in this and the twin sensor.

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

You have had a curse placed upon you for doing somebody wrong... that's your fault, not casios.

[@tcwhite0104]

You got a great deal, currently 2023 it is 52.99 on Amazon Good greif and to think I paid 350.00 for my Pro Trek PRG-3400 GRRR And this little watch has a quicker response that my PRW-2500 geeze lol

[@peternodwell3804]

I'm currently trying to buy this watch in the UK, any help on finding one would be greatly appreciated. There's currently only one seller on Amazon selling this watch and they want £243.00 plus delivery, which I am not paying haha. Love the ProTrek PRG-340 as well, although the PRG-270 is more suited to my price range

[@xkeyscore1120]

Great review. Found out how to use the features without looking at that little manual. Thank you sir

[@rubencandelas2068]

A very informative review and explanation of how the watch works. Nice.

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

Hey Greg, i think the perfect watch for you would be a Casio Oceanus (T200)

[@Dynamics_Watch_Reviews]

Hey Greg, I have the same watch, exellent review, Ive just uploaded a review of this watch too and recommended your channel in my video for a more detailed review. Shoutout to my favorite watch review channel the good time keeper! Take care and thanks for all your content. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺

[@hermitgreenn]

It's nice that Casio is letting their aging Pro Trek technologies trickle down to more affordable models.

[@traviswalker8933]

This model is as old as the revised ProTrek itself.

[@gregnutter4658]

Hi Greg. This video made setting up the watch very easy and easy to understand. Thank you. Love Casio

[@joeframo3347]

Hey you did a great job on showing everyone how to work that watch your platform is excellent I really enjoyed this video thank you so much and happy New year

Great Channel! The Best Watch Informational Channel

[@SamA-jg8vy]

I wonder if you could use the "adjust" feature to offset the temperature of the watch while you are wearing it... maybe it would compensate for your average ambient body temperature and give a relatively accurate temperature reading of the environment.

[@traviswalker8933]

You can calibrate the temperature sensor so I guess you can manually calibrate it to offset the body temperature.

[@isthi000ify]

Thanks for the vid very handy. What an amazing little brother of the Pro Trek, I wanted to know did you get a chance to check the accuracy of the compass? Thanks

[@StopFear]

I am wondering whether the temperature the watch shows when it is on one’s arm. Is it possible it un-intentionally measures the body temperature correctly? Should be between 36 -37 Celsius unless you have a fever.

[@globofgreen]

I can't find the triple sensor version of this watch anywhere. Looks like they only sell a twin sensor model and have erased this one from the internet.

[@fletchoid]

Re: the thermometer reading: If you are hiking in a very cold climate, it might come in handy to know the temperature reading at your wrist, as affected by the heat coming from your wrist. This could act as a warning to impending exposure or frostbite. If you really wanted the ambient temperature, of course take the watch off.

[@lufasumafalu5069]

you dont need a watch to know you are cold and need shelter ..

[@lindobushmanpetrosillo6536]

Mine is shown err for baro and altimeter what you think problem is?

[@traviswalker8933]

The display is very similar to the PRW-3500 ProTrek.

[@idletime]

Afternoon Greg 😎 . I'll have to start hunting my local china fart stores. Thats a smokin' deal. I did pick up an sgw 500H-2bv for my collection

[@mihaipopa9414]

Very nice video, thanks!

[@TerryHesticles]

The salmon b-roll was awesome lol

[@musoseven8218]

That's a bargain price. In the UK they're about £80.00. Great review - my family and I have had great service out of Casio and Timex watches for 30-50 years. I think that this watch, even at £80 is great VFM. I'd not set up a Casio watch for a few years (I used to be the go to kid for that and had Casio calculator watches etc in the 1980s), the hand book was confusing, but watching your video got me back in the Casio, settings, mindset - thank you👍😊✌️ Then it was easy to set up. I need to fiddle with the Alt, Baro and Temp settings - if I ever get to fly with my friend again, then it would be interesting to see how accurate the baro, alt, compass is🤔🤞👍😊✌️

[@dimgkklv8607]

[@MetalDetectoristMick]

Greg does the bezel rotate for the compass? Looks like it has little grips on it for rotating.

[@tomhickman1006]

I have this watch, the bezel dosen't rotate.

[@mikeriley3247]

Is there anyway to change the rate at which this casio updates? I have this watch and there is quite a lag between it's altitude refresh. I wish I could have it update more frequently ....if there was a way?

[@traviswalker8933]

It updates automatically.

[@sdj7122]

Can this watch be used for diving,under 10m in sea water ?

[@user-zw9se9rw9p]

Maybe... But most importantly, do not press any buttons underwater. This is not a diving model, but you can swim in it.

[@iraqisonic9920]

These specifications are needed by pilots or mountain climbers

[@Xpurple]

These are good, but the prw-2500 is still king :) Anyway, thanks for the video!

[@NathanChisholm041]

Its getting a bit long in the tooth! But their still a cool watch..

[@mikewade3061]

I changed the battery in mine and now none of the buttoms work.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Sometimes when the module comes out the buttons are pressed in a little. It may be necessary to remove the module and push the buttons out from inside before installing the module again. The buttons have to make contact with the sides of the module and if the module isn’t pressed into place correctly then the buttons won’t make the right contact. It would feel like you can press the buttons but they don’t push themselves back out correctly.

[@theheisenberg1961]

Hello Mr Anderson huge fan I was wondering if you would be up for a watch trade ? My offer is a brand new with tags Casio SGW 450 black and blue variant Mint condition!

[@StorminNorvin]

The weakest link to this watch is the 2-3 year battery. In a survival situation with this kind of watch, you better have solar. Otherwise, it is an interesting watch.

[@traviswalker8933]

You won't stay in a survival situation for 2-3 years. Plus a solar battery won't last fully charged in those conditions.

[@StorminNorvin]

@@traviswalker8933 Hopefully not, but do you want to be in that kind of situation if the battery hasn't been replaced in recent memory? If your life depends on it, do you want a dead battery? Solar can do many years.

[@traviswalker8933]

@@StorminNorvin you can't have your life dependent on these watches. Even Casio mentions that in the manuals.

Za tako malo pare vidljiv i impozantan sat i pomalo liči na skuplju Pro tek kolekcijom svojim izgledom, gde mu je možda mana trajanje baterije samo 2 godine gde bih bar očekivao bar duplo ili 3 puta više gde koliko sam razumeo i kaiš je sklon habanju ali se može zameniti gde ima mineralno staklo. Sve u svemu je za taj novac i kvalitete koji nam pruža prihvatljiv sat za kupovinu sa svim svojim manama gde sam imao prilike da pročitam, gde mnogi vlasnici su opet sve u svemu zadovoljni gde ga neki nose svaki dan. dvoumim se između legendarnog prvog G shock i ovog sata koji mi deluje primamljiviji gde možda dužina i cena baterija može možda samo da presudi gde opet dajem vid prednosti ovom satu.

[@munirmehic5650]

Slazem se i danas sam u radnji probao g shock i ovaj. G shock je dosta mocniji. Ovaj sat ima lijepe dodatke ali je vrlo lagan i nemas osjecaj kao kod g shocka da je cvrst i jak.
