Ive had this watch for 2 years and never knew how to use it now that I watched this video I'm loving my watch even more cus I know how to use it thanks a lot

[@spencerarsenal135]

Wow, this is the only tutorial in youtube or maybe on the internet about this watch! I've learned everything in relation to my watch. Thank you so much man!!

[@WatchGeek]

+Spencer Arsenal no problem, I'm glad I could help, you have a table of content in the description so if you need to remind yourself of a certain function in the future, you can click to only watch that function, no need to scroll thru the video. And thanks for watching :)

I've been up and down on Casio watches on KZbin and you're the only one that explains each watch perfectly everybody else stumbles not sure I have no idea why they make videos you're the only one at Masters Casio watches your number one I follow you everywhere now

[@WatchGeek]

Haha thanks for the kind words 😁👍

[@effu9375]

I bought one recently because of your review 🇵🇭🇺🇲🤙🏽🙏🏽

[@victorio681]

Acabo de adquirir el pro trek 340 verde militar. Tiene los mismos sensores salvando diferencias únicamente en diseño y pantalla. Lo que me gusta es que el bixel es giratorio y a la hora de marcar rutas es más sencillo que con este 270 que no puede girar el bixel. Por lo demás éste es también una gran herramienta para la montaña incluso Playa. Gran vídeo y bonito 270. Saludos!!

[@jasonmyers8278]

Thanks I saved me alot of time from reading the manual on changing the time.

[@fadhlulhadi9811]

Thanks. Just got mine after watching your video for a few times.

[@ChipsA17]

I have a decent watch collection from luxury to work watches. I just bough the grey prg270. This video was perfect for what I needed to know about it.

[@geraldleblanc1051]

Thank you so much excellent review. Much better then trying to figure it out with the manual.

[@tonyd223]

Had mine about 2 years, with a positive display which I think is much easier to read. Great watch, and just added a GWG to the collection. Still have the PRG40 too

[@WatchGeek]

+Tony Deslandes the PRG40 is an old school beast, I love that watch!!

[@tonyd223]

That PRG40 - probably 20 years old now, still works a treat. Had to replace the strap as I had the woven and leather which started to look shabby, but no scratches on the face at all, and it's been in -50 degrees C and +50 degrees C

[@WatchGeek]

+Tony Deslandes great to hear it's so durable, it has 2 batteries if I remember correctly?

[@tonyd223]

4 batteries - you should see the face on the watch repair people when I get them changed! Usually last about 4-5 years

[@WatchGeek]

+Tony Deslandes oh WOW, that is awesome!!!

[@rgwaldron719]

Great video! Way better than reading the user guide.

[@WatchGeek]

Thanks

[@petergloria5247]

Thank you very much for this! It was much more useful than the huge instruction manual.

what about the doted ring around the screen? , i can see it in the photos but mine doesn't have one😢

[@mjzangenberg]

October 2022 København (Copenhagen), Denmark Latitude, Longitude: 55 41.5′ N, 12 35.1′ E Time zone: Europe/Copenhagen Time offset: +1:00 DST observance: Europe. With this details: Sunrise: 7:12am (Moonrise: 2:44pm) Sunset: 6:47pm (Moonset: 8:46pm) I set my LAT 55'5 N, LON 12.1' E - And it shows sunset 16:48 sunrise: 5:14..... How do i do this correctly ?

Did a great video on this watch thank you for sharing 🖐️😎👍🇺🇸

[@TheChrist11]

Mine stoped showing the seconds countdown that forms a circle on the face. It's fully charged, but now even after reading the manual... I can't find any button options to activate it. Thank you for your time, and hard work on your posts. Hope you can help me on this Sir. 🙏🙏😊

[@secordman]

Excellent tutorial.

[@ezejp]

How can I figure out the exact position I am to set the sun raise correctly? in advance, you did a great video!

[@WatchGeek]

+ezeyhomero thanks :) You open google maps, then let it find your location or enter your address. Once it has found you you right click your location and click "what's here" and in the bottom of the screen you will get the Longitude and latitude information, then you just enter that into the watch

[@ezejp]

Thanks!!!

[@WatchGeek]

+ezeyhomero no problem, thanks for watching

[@ezejp]

one more question, how do I change the bezel? pic bellow i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/e6IAAOSwOyJX6zy1/$_57.JPG?set_id=8800005007

[@WatchGeek]

+ezeyhomero I don't think that you can change it on this model, it would involve disassembling the whole watch

[@mattwessel8733]

Have you disassembled a PRG270 yet? I am trying to figure out how to change the bezel.

[@TheChrist11]

Note:. When I bought it and opened the box... The dots were showing all around the bezel side, after I set the watch, the dots disappeared

[@filipg8953]

Is there any way to change to display to the lighter color background. It is very dark to read in my opinion.

[@traviswalker8933]

You will have to buy a lighter display variant if you want a lighter display

[@dandetande288]

Thanks for the effort you put for this video

[@WatchGeek]

I'm glad I helped

[@cowrider4029]

So complete this review! Can you do the same with the prg 240? For me that's the best watch I've ever seen

Hi from a Venezuelan in Boquete Panamá! Thanks for all the videos! I need your help deciding between a Rangeman and an Protrek.

So, I want a zombie apocalypse watch, you know: set it amd forget it, no maintenance beyond change case and strap and I need the ABC sensors. Please help me! Thanks in advance

I'd go for a Gshock as a simple bezel swap years from now will make it look like new

Thank you so much for this. Very detailed and way easier than the manual. :)

[@coletonomore]

Can anyone tell me why in all the pictures of this watch on websites the outer ring where the compass indicator seems to be shows tick marks illuminated almost all the way around.

[@WatchGeek]

It is a trek log function where every tick represents a certain time frame

is there anyway to put altimeter to feet instead of meters

Yes, it's explained in the Home screen section

[@kb8pih]

Do all 270's have a negative display?

[@TeamHippieHunters]

No I have one in navy blue and yellow it has normal display.

[@akgunusta]

Both PRG-240 and 270 are sold here with very close price tags. I think 270 is better as it has a bigger model number... Any differences you know?

[@apostolisbournous9508]

The most important different is that the 270 has 3th generation sensor, 240 has 2th.

[@drunken_hog]

I'm buying my first EDC / camping wrist watch ( I go out to nature every couple of weeks). I'm a watch newbie. Since you are Watch geek I thought I could ask you for help :D I saved up about 300usd but I could save up some more (student life). I want to buy a durable watch that I hope will last me atleast few years. I'm torn about all these CASIO watches PROTREKs and G-shocks. Looks don't matter to me but I like NATO straps. My potential choices are down there (what vendors in my country have in stock and their prices) Which one would you recommend ? - PRG 270 180usd - PRW 3500Y 310usd - PRW 650 350usd All I want is smth that shows time while on hike, compass and that it won't brake if it falls. It would be nice to have a NATO/Zulu strap compatibility, altimeter and solar charge but that is not a deal breaker. I apologize for bad english since it's not my native tounge. You don't have to answer. A mozes i na nasem ;)

[@alexsekug1136]

Get the PRG 270 and use the rest of the money for other equipment/clothing! No need for a $300 watch that could potentially be destroyed out in the wild. Footwear comes first imho! Good luck:)

[@tonyalvarez5815]

Can you do tgese reviews with a positive display?

[@Kang.Fitness]

Just got my prg 270 it's depleted and all I've been wearing it for 18 hours and it's still charging ! haven't displayed the time once , is this normal ? for the first time usage?

Leave it on a window sill facing outside for at least 3-5 days

[@icemonster4178]

Is there a way to adjust alarm volume?

[@WatchGeek]

+Ice Monster I'm afraid there isn't, and I don't know of any Casio watch that has that option, at least to my knowledge

[@icemonster4178]

Thanks for the quick response. And thanks for a great video. It's packed with lots of helpful information in an easy to follow format. The clickable Table of Contents is an outstanding idea.

I don't like Watches with negativ Display. It's to hard to read them... I don't understand Casio's new generations of Protrek Watches . I missing good features for example: for reaching height , maybe *1000 meters* its give alarm.( this one gives only the old prt line - like the prt40 ) Or the another thing what you talking -> no Duplex Display. ( WHY Casio? - i think its the best feature by the prg 240 or prw2500 ;) ), the backlight ( the electro backlight) getting low effect by frequent use. I have the prw2500 and the backlight its getting weak! ( the battery its full - > H ) So its a good Job from Casio, get back to Led Light. Thumbs up for your video dude. :)
