Casio PRO TREK PRW-6000Y-1DR outdoor watch experience for outdoor reading>>

For an outdoor watch, the key to the interior of the movement is the sensor on the watch, which directly determines the performance of the watch. At the end of last year, Casio launched the PRO TREK PRW-3000 series of liquid crystal display wristwatches using the third-generation triple sensor in China. The improved measurement accuracy has made outdoor high-flying people addicted to it! The PRW-6000 series, which was recently used as a pointer watch of the third generation of sensors, has finally been on the market. The orange PRW-6000Y-1DR in the hands of Xiao Bian is one of them.

Due to the large number of mechanical structures inside the pointer watch, the volume and weight are inevitably increased compared to the liquid crystal type. Therefore, the watches using the second-generation sensors such as the PRW-5100 and PRW-5050 are cumbersome in thin men's or women's hands. The third-generation sensor solves this problem very well. The new-generation triple sensor has a 95% reduction in volume compared to the second-generation sensor, and its power consumption has also been reduced by 95%. At the same time, the performance is greatly increased, the shortest period of height measurement is reduced from 5 seconds to 1 second, the measurement accuracy is increased from 5 meters to 1 meter, the error is reduced to ±0.3%, the height measurement range is -700 meters to 10,000 meters, and the pressure measurement error is the same ±0.3%.

The PRW-6000Y-1DR uses a lightweight, tough carbon fiber-reinforced resin material for the strap. The case is made of metal and hard plastic. The dial contains a complete hour, minute and second hand. The LCD panel below the dial and the pattern in the upper left corner One needle each, 100 meters waterproof, anti--10 degrees C low temperature, support 6 innings and solar drive system. Even with this versatility, the entire watch weighs only 73 grams, and the PRW-6000YT-1 with a titanium alloy strap is about 110 grams, which is a lot lighter than similar products.

Particularly worth mentioning is that PRW-6000Y-1DR is equipped with CASIO's original SMART ACCESS smart operating system, which perfectly realizes the combination of multi-function and simple operation on a pointer watch! On the crown, C (COMP) and A (ALTI) keys are pressed, D (DISPLAY) and B (MODE) buttons are located at the 10 o'clock and 8 o'clock directions, respectively. The L button is at the 6 o'clock direction. The sensing data required for the measurement is similar to the PRO TREK high-end all-in-one pointer PRX-7000 series.

Similar to other Casio watches equipped with a "smart operating system," the crown of the PRW-6000Y-1DR also has a crown lock function, which prevents mistakes caused by large-scale outdoor activities. In the locked state, the crown and the case are in close contact, and the black rectangle mark on the crown is aligned with the white rectangle mark on the case. When unlocking, press down and rotate the crown counterclockwise to align the crown with the white dot mark on the case. The crown will pop up and unlock automatically. When the crown is needed to operate, turn the crown again. To return to the unlocked state, align the mark on the crown with the white dot and press down and rotate the crown clockwise until the black mark is again aligned with the white rectangle mark on the case to complete the lock.

The coexistence of the pointer and the LCD screen will inevitably encounter an embarrassing situation - the LCD screen is blocked by the pointer, it is difficult to see the information in the LCD screen, PRW-6000Y-1DR special "pointer dodge" function is a good solution to this problem PRW- The 6000Y-1DR has multiple motors to drive each hand independently, which allows the watch's pointer to run faster and more smoothly. Pressing the L key while pressing the B key will quickly point all the hands to the 2 o'clock direction, and then press any key to return to the original position. This technology not only facilitates easy viewing of information on the LCD screen, but also facilitates fast driving of the pointer in metering, electronic compass, and other modes.

Although the PRW-6000 series is an analog outdoor watch, it is essentially the same as the PRW-3000 series that uses a third-generation triple sensor, so the performance has been greatly improved compared to previous generations of products, while the PRW-6000Y-1DR is in use. There is a big difference. For example, the electronic compass, PRW-6000Y-1DR is also a shortcut to enter the electronic compass mode via the C key. The 12 o'clock direction of the watch is used as the target direction, and the target direction is displayed in English on the LCD screen, but the second hand is used as the north needle.

In the foregoing, it was mentioned that the PRW-6000Y-1DR dial has a pattern pin to inform the user of the watch's timing, barometer, thermometer, data search, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, world clock, and signal reception mode. In any of these, press the B key to switch counterclockwise, and long press the B key to return to the timekeeping mode.

Compared to temperature and air pressure measurements, outdoor enthusiasts will no doubt pay more attention to height measurement. The PRW-6000Y-1DR simply enters the height measurement mode by pressing the A button. The PRW-6000Y-1DR measures a height range of -700 to 10,000 meters and has an accuracy of 1 meter. It provides two automatic measurement intervals. One is measured every second for the first three minutes, and then each time in the next hour. Measured once in five seconds; the other is measured once every second for the first three minutes and then every two minutes during the next 12 hours. The watch can record 30 height data manually, and can also automatically record the maximum height (MAX), minimum height (MIN), total ascent (ASC) and total descent height (DSC) data, and will put MAX in 12 hours. , MIN, ASC, and DSC Four types of altitude data are automatically recorded as road log values, which are consistent with the PRW-3000.

However, the PRW-6000Y-1DR is used for LCD screens and pointers in altitude, height difference, and altitude trend display. The altitude values ​​and altitude trend charts are displayed on the LCD screen. The height trend chart is limited to the LCD screen. Only the changes of the first 6 altitude measurements during automatic measurement are displayed; the height difference indication is given to the second hand (see the figure below), and the height difference measurement range can be ±100 meters or ±1000 meters, which is higher than the PRW-3000. The display with the LCD screen is more direct.

Conclusion

The addition of the third-generation sensor undoubtedly greatly enhances the performance of PRW-6000Y-1DR, -700 meters to 10,000 meters measuring range, 1 meter accuracy, lower error, but also makes the watch more lightweight, only weighing 72g, half an iPhone 4s the weight of. The added pattern pin can clearly inform the user of the current state of the watch, adding a sense of mechanics, minus a bit of outdoor rough smell, and the dial uses a popular dial design. In addition to PRW-6000Y-1DR black and orange color, Casio PRW-6000Y-1A in the country also green black couple models, PRO TREK PRW-6000 series to ensure the outdoor capacity at the same time it is more fashionable, you can say that men and women eat, outside the city Universal.
