So ... everything back to the beginning ... I need a new clock and now out of the wishlist.
- Seal it should be, after all, I am much on, in and on the water
- I need stopwatch for sports
- A radio clock's supposed to be
- Solar so that Batteriewechselei an end (finally gave me a dealer zerwürgt the seal - oh, I should have changed things get even again;) has)
- Active light does not dim light painting
- Metal, because it lasts longer in my handling of materials, titanium makes it a little easier then
After extensive research in Casio fell on with the PRW-3000T-7ER.
Add to Wishlist thus were added a few highlights:
- Barometer (well, I climb not much, but sailing is also great)
- Countdown => hey, even what the Regatta Sailing
- Compass, not only for sailing well
- Barometric altimeter with Trackaufzeichung
The first impression when unpacking is very good. The wooden box would now not really need it, but for an outdoor watch can ever allow the marketing department to sweat a little. At least I know where I can deposit the dismantled bracelet links.
The clock was summoned and in sleep mode. You so do not be surprised that it does not display anything. After pressing a button it is now wide awake. The sleep mode prevents excessive discharge of the battery when not in use. Even at night, the display turns off at some point, if you use this feature. The solar unit is a ring at the edge of the display and falls so as not good at.
Time, calendar, date, stopwatch - these functions are absolutely intuitive.
The light is bright enough for the big screen. A light automatic when tilting the forearm by 40 ° can be switched. I let them off driving a car because it bothers me, because it is quite bright. For forest, meadow, mountain, boat you can use the feature but very useful.
Compass: Very sensitive and calibrated by the user. For cards work on land so well suited. Outside the horizontal compass quickly gives way to 5-10 °, although it. Nor "thinks", the clock would be held horizontally The do the operation on moving surfaces such as boats a little more demanding.
Barometer / Thermometer: Top! Clear that we must remove the clock and adjust to the ambient temperature for use of the thermometer. The Barometer also has a bar graph, you can see in normal watch mode. This gives you the weather "under control". Switchable alarms sudden rise, fall, and reversing the trend (for insiders: trough layers) complete the picture.
Both functions can be calibrated.
Altimeter: Here can be determined from the heights of the pressure differences and represent in two different forms in the bar graph. The measurement interval can be set and the value of course, be calibrated.
To activate the Trackaufzeichung be worth taking a look at the manual, and the subsequent reading, browsing and deleting tracks or single points you should practice a little. Everything else on this clock is explained as if by magic, as far as possible with plain text display (English) is working, and for almost everything a "Symbölchen" in the display is available.
Contemplative:
- Maybe there someday a successor model with Bluetooth 4 / NFC / whatever, so you better get on the tracks?
- Who buys by mail order, the instructions to shorten the bracelet must procure the web ... these 2 sides simply belong in the manual! Shortening per se is not a problem, once you know how it goes.
Conclusion: The clock is solid and makes the folding clasp with counter flap a good impression backed up by the arm, even if you're outside. All frequently used is easily accessible and intuitive. Without any manual does not come from you, if you want to understand the clock completely.
Highly recommended for the "Draußi" ... the saying "Nimm'n screen with" a glance at the clock ensures often big eyes.
