Found this watch in my dads desk when I went to visit. He hasn’t worn it in 8 or so years. Left it next to the window and and fully works now. It’ll be my new daily for a while. Love this video to explain a little more.
The fact that the day, date and month are all displayed at the same time on the screen are the main reasons why I prefer the 2500 to the new 3000.
IMHO best ever protrek. Casio had and has a winner here. Most functionality of any protrek except the prw 7000. A watch like this really needs a full dial digital display. The prw 7000 is more eye candy than anything else
Tutorial starts at 9:30 mark....just a review of watch until then....thank you for making this!
There is a table of contents in the description 😁
This demo and the follow up deserve at least another 100k views. Fantastic job on such a capable device, which by the way, Casio should update with the more advanced technology since its inception. Would love this in G Shock format as well, with no feature omissions Casio.Well done.
+Phil T. Thanks for the nice words and I totally agree. There is a new Rangeman coming this spring, it will be even more advanced as it will have GPS capabilities
Casio deserve so much credit for there engineering. Beautiful watches. Casio hands down is the best watch company because they make so many beautiful technical watches
*_This is a fine piece from Casio. The ABC features are very informing & convenient. That said, on any day of the week, in any month, and at any altitude, I’ll take my GW9400 Rangeman as the ultimate ‘survival’ watch. The Pro Trek only allows for increments of 5 in for the altitude; the Rangeman for increments of 1. When accessing the sundry readings, it takes the data a few seconds to calculate & yield the results in the Pro Trek 😧; the Rangeman yields readings in a mere couple of secs, if even that long._*
*_But both models have premium features which make both models desirable & distinct. Give me the moon phase, the superimposed bearing indicator (perhaps red for the Rangeman), EL backlight, the louder alarm & tone sounds, a replaceable bidirectional compass bezel, & Progress Timer on the Rangeman and it will be perfect. Affix the sunrise/sunset settings, the 1,000 hr Stop Watch Mode, the 24 hr Countdown Timer Mode, the ability to initiate the stopwatch in Home Time Mode, and a 1 minute reading in Compass Mode, this Pro Trek would be the perfect watch._*
*_What I’m saying is Casio is the pinnacle of watchmakers!!! 😏😉_*
Very good, to the point, explanation!
Lost my little manual. You substituted it even better! I have this watch for over 10 years. Never replaced the batteries and never had any problems. I use it every day. The best survival watch ever!
Just check Casio's website, module 3258 for the manual.
Fantastic review! After both of your videos, I placed an order a couple of days ago and just received my parcel this morning. Amazing watch! Great video.
Congrats 😊👍
I been searching and just had a bunch of people unboxing it without having a clue of how it works so they just mumbled the whole time, no to mention the bad quality video.
So thanks for the amazing quality and good review/tutorial
I'm glad I helped 😁👍
@@WatchGeek best review and one of best watches, i just got this model cos there is no similar model to this watch.. or something better. thank you for this video
I have to reiterate what other viewers have already stated. Your explanation was so well done, this video could have easily been presented by Casio. Thank you for your effort.
This guy is awesome watch reviewer! I have this watch in titanium. Nice!
+Tomsterr thanks 👍😄
Hi mate can you change the strap on that?
@@DevilsAvocado69 wondering the same
I Think this is One of the BEST and more complete Casio ever made
Just bought one of these on eBay in excellent condition, very excited. Like you said, the newer versions just don’t have the charm and the Home Screen does bring out that inner child!
Very nice review and the functions/adjustments are explained very well. I took out my Casio Protrek PRW2500T probably after 4 years keeping in the dark and it turned on after I kept it exposed to sunlight for few hours. Was trying to find the way to adjust and your video is just what I was looking for. Thank you 🙂
I purchased this watch last night off of your review. 189 bucks. I can’t wait to get it in and watch your video on how to use it! I hope Casio appreciates how instrumental you are in explaining their products/catalog.
Thank you for this video,im going over 7 yrs with this watch and its still works just like the first day i took out the box,love this watch and thx again for this video,a reminder on all the great things this watch does
I think you should charge from Casio for doing there job of explaining their product
+Vikas Singh Haha, I wish 😄
+Oz thanks for the kind words
Well I think watch geek is better than the website at explaining
this guy should be the professional Casio watches explainer
Casio watches should be delivered with card that says "disregard our manual and go see Watch Geek video for appropriate module" We are incompetent to explain our product function.
I went crazy trying to read the manual. Thank you so much for clearly describing how this watch works, ever though I have the PAW2000 I was able to follow your instructions. Hubby will be surprised I figured it out. Thank you again.
Nice job,thanks for detailed tutorial(included part 2)
In my opinion is this a ultimate survival watch,thanks solar charging,high waterresistant,radiocontroled time keeping, compass.
I am owner of Suunto Traverse Alpha-good watch,many festures- BUT when you wreck on Island,or the electricity shut down,you can throw it in water 🙁
Sorry for bad englisch.
Regards from SVK
Nicely done. All very well reading the manual but seeing each of the functions demonstrated gives considerably more confidence to play with the watch without worrying about messing things up.
Either you can try and read the Casio manual, or just watch this video. The video makes it so much easier. Thx
I have that watch. It is fantastic. I can only give it one serious fault. The compass bezel scratches so easily. And from what I understand, you cannot replace it. So my watch looks perfect except for a very scratched up bezel. However, literally everything else about it is perfect. It is also extremely comfortable to the point you forget you are wearing it.
I'm in the market for this Pro Trek 2300 and I'm very grateful for your review and explanation of it. It gave me confidence to buy it.
Thank you for the amazing review on this watch. I just received mine today and came across your video. This watch is unreal and for you to know all the ins and outs of it is amazing in itself. Thanks again brother and god bless.
Came in handy reviving my pro trek my father in law gave me before he passed thank you
Very good guide! You have saved my eyes from reading through that thick manual. Thank you!!
this watch brings the moon and the sun together and you get world time, weather, compass, and altitude plus all the other features and it doesn't run out of battery...i am going to buy this watch!
THANK YOU so much for all the time and effort that you put in to these tutorials, you make it so I can use and enjoy every part and feature of my PRW-2500T.
I actually ordered my PRW2500T-7 today and am really looking forward to it's getting here. I've had my older PAG240 for many years and felt it was time for a slight upgrade (Titanium and atomic time). Really enjoyed your video, it gives me even more confidence in my buying decision. Thank you.
Congrats on a great watch, they can really be had for a bargain these days
Great explanation. You are the main reason with how you explain the watch that I bought one.
Thank you! Bought this watch in 2015, wear it every day, but now I see some features I didn't knew they exist. Thanks!
cuanto te costo y cuanto vale hoy
@@rayloredo6458 what?
@@skylixx005 how much did it cost and how much is it worth today
@@rayloredo6458 I bought mine in 2015 for € 295,-.
I only found a Japanese website, where they sell them for € 280,-.
best half hour I have ever spent on youtube!! this video saved me a ton of reading and answered all my setup questions on my new watch!! GREAT VIDEO @watchgeek!!!
Thanks 😊 and I am glad I helped
You made my day. Your video beats the manual . Well done 👍
Great Reveiw, Glad you mentioned the advantages over the new model , this would work for me . Thanx. P.S. Tx.
You're the man on watch reviews 💯
Great video as always👍 I Don’t know what I’d do without your concise explanations.
i use this watch since 2015 and it still functions like new but looks so worn out....glad i bought this over the newer version...save me some money and ease of use of the ABC functions
+gen gerona they are pretty bulletproof and look awesome. Great to hear a first hand experience 👍
A million function on the face of the watch... You nailed it man.
You are the man! I have been looking everywhere for this. The instructions are so hard to understand. You make this so easy. Thanks and you have a new subscriber now. God bless 🙌
Great review. I had a Protrek, I think it was the PRW3500 with the Titanium bracelet if I remember correctly, about a year ago. I didn't have it long. It was awesome quality but I realized I have no real use for such a big watch with all the ABC features. Still, the quality on these are great.
+JustBlueFish most people don't have the need for any of these functions but buy them for looks alone, although everyone can benefit from having the barometer as it can help you predict bad weather 😊
Hello my friend from Atlanta Georgia I thought your presentation was greed on this watch I already had the Pathfinder I Casio but I'm going to order that particular watch also you're absolutely right I love the colors and I love the way it's laid out especially the Moon thank you again for this video just keep on making great videos like you're doing
👍👍
After seeing your video I get more interested in Casio watches
+Vikas Singh Haha they are addictive
I think Casio offer the best quality for a lower price, its INSANE indeed, followed only by Seiko.
Fantastic detail. Thank you. And I just got my watch in the mail and rewatched your video. Again, Fantastic!
Your videos are top class. Every time I think it’s time to buy (yet another) Casio I look to see if you’ve made a video on it. I’m buying this watch next week.
I'm glad you like them.
Just make sure not to overdo it with buying or else you'll end up with A LOT of watches, like I did at one point 😂
Watch Geek been there. Man how I have been there lol
Haha 😄😄
This was an amazing review. I learned a TON. Tremendous video and breakdown of this watch and its functions. You made me want to purchase it now!
I'm glad you liked it
Down to this, the PRO TREK PRW3500-1 or PATHFINDER PAG240-1
PAG is old school and so is the tech, the screen to me is better on that one and so is the backlight, but technology wise, and especially when it comes to sensors the 3500 wipes the floor with it, you just have to decide what is more important to you
Watch Geek 3500 review. When can we expect it ???
It all depends on whether someone lends one to me for a review
Amazing tutorial, thanks so much - You made it really easy.
I'm glad I helped 😁
I’m about to buy one for $40 dollars. I think is a good deal .
Is it new for 40$
No used and good shape
I just got this in titanium for Christmas, thank you for the tutorial!
+James Johnson congrats, the titanium version was the highest end model when these were introduced
I've been looking for a good tutorial for this watch.👍
Great review indeed ... I do really wish Casio to consider releasing this great watch with v3 sensor ... Pleeeeaaaase do Casio ...
That would be amazing
Casio pro treks don't seem to look as bad ass as the used to! Now there's blue pink ect I was thinking about this watch but might stick with my Gshock Rangeman GW-9400
This may in some minds make me look forgetful... but I come back to this site regularly. Especially during the time changes. Maybe this time it will stick. Seems the auto on mine doesn't work I set it but it doesn't change.
Such a nice job , and voice too . Thank you .
Thank you very much. Bad eyes inhibited me reading the instruction manual. Subscribed!
I'm glad I helped and thanks for the subscription I appreciate it
Very nice outdoor intro. I like the look of this because of the shorter lugs and I also noticed the soft rubber strap. It looks like it shares a lot of the function features as some G-shocks. I concur with the other viewer that you should also be a Casio consultant.
+whatsonthewrist haha thanks, maybe one day 😃
An uncomplicated review for a complicated watch.
Thanks 😊
very well said!!
Still my favourite watch in 2023
Protex watch is use for fishing and boating.
Boy you have a great platform Casio should be paying you for the tutorial yeah buddy you're really good love that watch that is one beautiful watch I'm old school I like that watch
Thanks for upload , have PRW 2500t , most time I use the barometer is in plane and few times I checked mountain high.
I'm glad I helped
Hey,
According to your detailed videos on Protrek and Rangeman. You definitely are the right person to ask a question regarding them. Which is better Rangeman GW 9400 or Protrek PRG 240? Since these two seem to be the best in their class. I really the atomic timekeeping of the Rangeman but the whole reason I'm getting ABC watch is for outdoors(Hiking, Camping, Backpacking). TIA
Why not get the PRW version of any protrek, that way you get both the protrek ABC and the atomic timekeeping
Great video with tons of helpful info. Could you do a set up video on the Protrek prtb50 and the prtb70
And watching you do this video on this watch I'm going to buy this watch because I believe this watch is still great technology I don't care about the new ones coming out I think this is well-built was made the last and it does everything under the sun thank you for sharing a video it was great
Good morning an oldie but goodie ,Nice !! I just received my Casio GShock, G steel Gst -B-100 another one to the collection!! THANKS for sharing !!! :-) :-)
+weedXD38 I'm glad you liked it, and it seems you have become a serious collector!
Thank you for your time to cover the functions
Yacht timing just requires a countdown timer. The separate timer reset is useful, but not necessary. It is not easy on the water to hit the start line at the right moment. What I mean by reset timer is that if you touch a certain button the timer resets to the other time, for example a 5:00 timer that goes to 3:00 regardless of where the timer is.
Edit: For complicated sailing reasons, please note the reset time must be shorter than the main countdown time.
This reset can also be used to restart the timer, just set the reset time to the same time as the main countdown timer.
Got mine yesterday, great watch. The two GWN1000s that also rock with V3.0. Great review!
+GZVSI the GWN1000 I had the pleasure of playing with, but it was in my hands for only a day and I couldn't get the time to do the video, but if I get one in the future I sure will
Any input you need let me know and thank you for the response.
+GZVSI thanks, good to know, and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Very nicely explained
My dream is to own a ProTreck
Better looking than the 270. I would go for the PRW 2500.⌚
Hello i love your videos! Very helpful. Could you do a tutorial over how to calibrate the compass on the Pathfinder PAG-240 model 3246?
This is now my dream watch.😍
awesome.. your explanation is so crystal clear, thanks a bunch :)
really helpful, got mine without instructions.
GREAT video. I'll be watching part two soon.
Amazing review thanks boss!
Nice video I have this Casio I bought it in sams in payments in 2015 for a camping trip and I love it this watch is tough in the camping trip it went it a lake for several hours in a hiking trip in 4 falls I still have the scars of those falls and it was still working and 2 week after that it went in a shooting class and those instructors can work you a lot and to this day is still working and the time is perfect I have a Verizon cell phone and I think that the watch keeps better time the only thing I did is to put it in a nato strap and it works great now I am trying to get this Casio with the titanium band and yes from sams club and yes in payments nice video and keep the good watch reviews coming
If you have to make payments on a $189.00 watch, you shouldn't be buying it.
Hello, great video as always! I own the PRG 270 but I want a Casio that combines the triple sensor with tide and moon phase. Once these were covered by the PRW 2500, you know a new model with these features. Digital with solar charge and 6 band.
I've been watching your videos you have a great platform and I now see this watch in your old school so am I and I like that watch cuz I used to have PAG 240 it was okay
has everything but sunrise/sunset time?
Hi. Can i ask u what is the difference between this model and prg-250? Is it the same watch? I really like this video and your review. Cheers mate.
This one is solar atomic, while the prg is solar only
Brilliant tutorial!!! Thank you 👍
Also does it have a noise it makes if a shift in the Barometer happens? Really want this watch, the new one's have some cool features, but I think he is right when he said this had loaded features.
Well , I got mine since 2011, that was also year of its production- if read correctly codes . Its still my favorite- in daily use, however start having kind of feeling that Our days together are counted , as display overall starts fading and battery stopped charging to H position. If I should say something to potential users, it would be to double check fitting on Your wrist before purchase , especially in more loosen position. Due to this plastic/composite case part below, sometimes U can get painful pressure feeling while slips down on the wrist pressing ankle at carpal part . Also compass ring , made of alu, tends to scratch relatively easy. After 8 years of daily use, letters and symbols are barely visible. I think G shocks can handle aging better way. Overall when it dies, Ill go for some pro trek again, but as U said, there is no real alternative to this watch-its really high end.
Did it die what’s the update on the watch ?
Even in 2022, this watch would be my choice for the most tech nerdy.
Hi not sure if your still reading comments, but this tutorial is awesome! So helpful thanks. Quick question. When the dst is on the tide chart is off by an hour as it doesn’t update. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to change that as well. I use it for ocean fishing Thank you!!
Excellent, thank you very much!
I can’t believe they left out sunrise sunset times on this model, it literally has everything else!
I pulled the trigger on the PRW2500 today, and I wanted the tide/moon graph, but I wished they would also include the Sunrise/Sunset info, that would make it really complete in my view. So now Im looking at the PAG240 that has the Sunrise/Sunset data, but is virtually the same build, except I believe you mentioned the PAG240 has the newer Version Sensors, that have a bit more degree of accuracy for two of the ABC details? Do you feel that the PG270 is the way to go?, or go with the PAG240
PAG240 uses old sensors, while the PRG270 uses new ones.
Only a few new watches have both moon/tide and sunrise sunset, like the Gulfmaster GWN-Q1000
Watch Geek Thank you for the explanation.
No problem
Be sure to get one in your hands before you buy. The prg240 isnt built as well as the 2500..Youll see what I mean
The best as usual 😁💪🏼
+Faruk Varesanovic thanks 😊👍
I've got this watch as well as the 340 and this one is simply better, however this one doesn't have the sunset and sunrise. But the 3400 doesn't have a moon phase either. The need to have one that does both of those.
Great tutorial thank you so much
Wow thank you so much for this explanation
+Dwalk22 boss I'm glad I helped 😊👍
Great very detailed video, I love this watch and have had it for awhile.. Quick question, Is there a function to show when it is fully charged?
Hi, thanks for watching, and no, there is no such function
Thanks bro otherwise I was ready throwing this watch on the garbage
Great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you Mate.
I guess if you want snooze type function you could set Alarm 1 for wake up time and Alarm 2 for five minutes later.
Yes thank you I just purchased the watch Amazon has it on a black friday special and I am looking forward to part 2 when you teach us how to launch nuclear weapons and order pizza rolls to your location
Very useful. Thank you.
