Thanks so much for the review. Because of this video, among with my own research, I made a purchase decision with Amazon for $248 (free shipping). I'm so looking forward to wearing this to my East Europe trip in October (next month). Nicely done!
Its shock resistant to a certain point. 3 feet drop is OK. You should take good care of it, its pricey. But you feel the quality, the buttons are shielded as you can see in the video. I hope this helps! You won't be disappointed!
Hi JimTL, I know what you're saying but as far as I can tell, there hasn't been a single watch that can accurately measure the actual temperature while you're wearing it. I guess it's just part of the issue when the sensor is too close to body heat. I have been using this watch for a few days now. The sensor readings are pretty accurate. Not precise, but accurate enough. It's comfortable to wear yet not too flashy. It's a great watch overall.
Sometimes yes, but here's a tip. Put it near the window towards the Colorado State. Because thats where the tower is. Best chance is that way. Good luck
Have had this watch since it was released, will be sending it back to get it serviced as i put it through a bit of a chilly experience, -23c next to a industrial chiller unit in a food coldstore. It still works good but if i'm running hot and i have it on too tight there is a little condensation in between the inner and outer glass. Remember it's only rated to -10c, so after the servicing (which Casio recommends every 3yrs) should be good for another 3yrs, then another 3,...
Without a remote sensor it would be nearly impossible unless you were able to accurately calibrate the watch to your own body temperature. Of course the problem lies in the fact that your skin temp can range from ambient to pretty darn hot so there is really now way of keeping an accurate reading.
I mainly use the temp feature while in a tent. 1 way I use it is to keep track of my skin temp while in a sleeping bag... The other is to take the watch off and place it in the gear loft of my tent to keep track of the temp inside the tent. Obviously if your wearing the watch the reading will be closer to your skin temp. The average skin temp ranges from 70 F to 85 F.
@CoupleDrinks Yeah, if your primary use for it is to tell time. Plenty of sun to charge the battery, be sure to adjust your zone if you are out of sync.
Yes i have the same problem too, but when its exposed to the sun (while its charging) the temp does get inaccurate. Best way to get the temp is take it off your wrist and set it on the surface and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Its not 100% accurate, but it will give you a estimate. Be sure to read the THICK manual haha. Glad to hear it and Thank you!
@Sharov710 Hi, thanks for watching and your comment. To answer your question. I paid a price around 350. it was almost a year ago. I just ebay'ed it and found a stunning 217 with free shipping and titanium band. Hope this helps!
Man, that was really good review... I sick and tired of the people rotating the watch in front of the camera. It seems that you only one who actually gonna used it. presentation could be a bit smoother, but otherwise great stuff. THNX!
@AlexMorbid Hey thanks, I had it for a week than decided to do a review on it, I know more about it now. It was my first time doing this kinda thing, feeling helpful ya know. Hope you like the watch. There is a new one out, but this does everything I want it to. Elevation is decent, within 5 to 10 meters off without calibrating it.
@ALTADOSA Well I never tried it. But they probably exaggerate, to play it safe.. 4 months, but a few minutes in a light it'll start your sync and your'll be running in no time. Don't mind me asking but where will you be with no light for 5 months?
@dartanian5467 The battery is built to last, and about sunlight exposure, just let it sit by the window for like a day. That'll get it charged up to last another 5 months.
Awesome watch. Just wondering,is there a watch that display both sunrise and sunset and also moon phase and tide graph? I take it this one doesn't include the first. Since there is a world time, does it show moon data for every time zone?
I have the regular version of this watch and I am curious to know if the watch body is also Titanium. I've heard different sources say it was and others say it was the plastic resin. I know the band and bezel are titanium. If anyone that has this watch can verify that the watch body is "actually' metal that would be cool.
@romanosalvatore I cannot confirm it, the closes towers to South America is in the US; Fort Collins. So I don't think it will. If you sync it before you leave, and you stay for more than a month, you only missing 2 or 3 seconds. Thats the time it takes to read this comment, not that big of a deal to be honest
Hi!, i;m from Argentina, good review! but i have a doubt, i'm hesitating in buying this model or the PAW1500 (PRG -130). Wich is better? i know that they are similar, but for hunting and outdoor activities, wich one do you recommend? thanks
AimHigh1234 hi aim high are u still wearing this watch till now. Can u tell the problem of this watch. How about its durability i mean rugged. best regards good day.
i just received this watch but having a hard time calibrating it with daylight savings. i did a r/c on it but still goes to normal time without updating and i i dnt think u can change it manually? any advice?
I'm also purchased this prw 1500 watch b4 4months, I'm from Pakistan, enitially it was good to working..but as I used this watch outside sometimes in sun..I saw my watch digits become blur or faded,, I'm worrying 😟 to see this, can you plz tell me any body that how I fix this display problem 😟
@shalcrow Would you like me to snap some shots on the wrist? I have a small wrist so it looks "BIG" . here are the dimesions Size of case/total weight PAW1500T 56.2 X 50.6 X 13.9mm / 113g
Could you please tell me if the bezel is made of titanium? if so, how did the coating last after wearing it? i always chose watches without any coating but it seems that these models all have a coating on the metal parts
I have prw 1500 watch get this before 4month..no doubt it is a beautiful watch..but I'm worried about it's display, my watch display digits going blur..why this happened nd how I fix this problem😟
@leostyle7771 check the manual posted on my description. There is a way to do it, from what i know is you have to set your time zone and then it will sync correctly. PDF manual/timekeeping. Hope it helps
Is that band metalic? If so where the hell did you get that? Also the color is alot different from the casio website. I would like to know where you got yours.
Good Review thanks. two things: you didnt show the compass function; and you said it was big, but didnt put it on your wrist so we could see. Good review otherwise! Thanks.
Love this watch somebody selling me this for the price of 1/4 from brandnew. The watch is brandnew with orginal box. but I resitate to buy. Later When I wanted to buy this the watch was sold to other. 😔😥 Huhuhu
Bought this watch yesterday, it is worth every penny. Make sure to go through the manual carefully because it can be a bitch unti you get everything down.
Not sure why you would take a watch to a jeweler to adjust the links in the band... it's pretty easy to do... that's kind of like admitting you go to your mom to zip up your fly and tie your tie.... You're kind of like saying, don't go to your grandma to zip up your fly, she'll get your ding a ling caught in your zipper, go to your mom instead, she does it better... :-/ If I can take a link out of a watch and a motorcycle chain, you can too... believe in yourself, dude!
TRY TO TAKE THE TEMPERATURE WHILE YOU ARE PUTTING IT ON YOUR ARM , I THINK IT COULD GIVE YOU THE BODY TEMPERATURE !!!!!!!!!! FREE VITAL SIGN MONITOR !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Wearing mine now.

@romanosalvatore thanks for the reply, i bought the paw1500y-1 from amazon and will do a video when i get it

that's one hell of a clock!
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear it and Thank you!
I wanted that model but it was sold out so settled for pag-40 series.
@ms8367
I cannot confirm if its sapphire crystal, but the mineral crystal is high quality. Not a single scratch on mine. Hope it helps.
I wish someone could give a review of the paw1500 that really knows about it and how to set all the features it has
Check out the manual, I linked it to the description.
@Sharov710 Hi, thanks for watching and your comment. To answer your question. I paid a price around 350. it was almost a year ago. I just ebay'ed it and found a stunning 217 with free shipping and titanium band. Hope this helps!

@Sharov710 I paid around 350 bucks a year ago. I just ebay'd and found the same th with titainium band for 217 and FREE shipping. Thanks for watchin!
@lazarra101 Yes it is solar powered, it has a 6 month power reserve to it. Check out the manual I posted below the video.
@AlexMorbid Hey thanks, I had it for a week than decided to do a review on it, I know more about it now. It was my first time doing this kinda thing, feeling helpful ya know. Hope you like the watch. There is a new one out, but this does everything I want it to. Elevation is decent, within 5 to 10 meters off without calibrating it.
@sandis52 I have a small wrist so it "BIG" but other than that, it looks great!
Does it have sapphire crystal? I’m so close to purchasing one.
@ALTADOSA Well I never tried it. But they probably exaggerate, to play it safe.. 4 months, but a few minutes in a light it'll start your sync and your'll be running in no time. Don't mind me asking but where will you be with no light for 5 months?

Thanks for the review!
Just looking to buy and this was useful
Awesome watch. Just wondering,is there a watch that display both sunrise and sunset and also moon phase and tide graph? I take it this one doesn't include the first. Since there is a world time, does it show moon data for every time zone?
hi!! i bought this watch.. 100% functional... even the atomic receiver... Is the best!
I´m in Mexico City
@dartanian5467 You don't have to, the battery has a reserve for about 5 months. For more additional info, it's on the link i posted.
@Ratuka2 Are you asking what program i used to make this? I used iMovie 09. Mac is better at video editing. Not into the Windows movie maker.
I have the regular version of this watch and I am curious to know if the watch body is also Titanium. I've heard different sources say it was and others say it was the plastic resin. I know the band and bezel are titanium. If anyone that has this watch can verify that the watch body is "actually' metal that would be cool.
Great review! Especially for a first timer! Hopefully santa (aka: Wife) has one under the tree for me, I have wanted this model for some time now!
@romanosalvatore
I cannot confirm it, the closes towers to South America is in the US; Fort Collins.
So I don't think it will. If you sync it before you leave, and you stay for more than a month, you only missing 2 or 3 seconds. Thats the time it takes to read this comment, not that big of a deal to be honest
OK AND HOW I CAN SET TIME AND DATE ON IT
Hi, nice review.
Is it possible to change, to 24hour clock and meters instead of feet?
@blitzburghscorer Yeah that one looks great. Thanks for watching :)
do you have trouble receiving signals from the atomic clock
Hi!, i;m from Argentina, good review! but i have a doubt, i'm hesitating in buying this model or the PAW1500 (PRG -130). Wich is better? i know that they are similar, but for hunting and outdoor activities, wich one do you recommend? thanks
just bought mine online from Costco.ca. took me so long to decide. let's see how it goes in a couple of days. I believe I will not regret it.
AimHigh1234 hi aim high are u still wearing this watch till now. Can u tell the problem of this watch. How about its durability i mean rugged.
best regards good day.
can you confirm that the crystal is sapphire? everything i've read indicates that it is a mineral crystal.
There is no saphire on this model... still a strong watch
i just received this watch but having a hard time calibrating it with daylight savings. i did a r/c on it but still goes to normal time without updating and i i dnt think u can change it manually? any advice?
@TorbenMalthe Yes, please read on the manual i posted for you.
u have to take off the watch from your arm if u what to have the temperature ?
I'm also purchased this prw 1500 watch b4 4months, I'm from Pakistan, enitially it was good to working..but as I used this watch outside sometimes in sun..I saw my watch digits become blur or faded,, I'm worrying 😟 to see this, can you plz tell me any body that how I fix this display problem 😟

Bought this watch yesterday, it is worth every penny. Make sure to go through the manual carefully because it can be a bitch unti you get everything down.
Unfortunately not. That's what the weather channel app is for :)
how much is the price?
how much is it ?i mean the price
@Anthrax2404 Thats not good, it should last 6 months without light. Seems like your watch has a defect. Take it back and get a brand new one.
thank you dude !
Thanks for your video, thanks to this, i am buying this great timepiece...
Got it on 238 bucks @ ebay.
Do you have thermometer?
@ispt17 well yes. or else you'll get the wrong reading of temp.
oh no my comments were removed. duh!
@vaiosoft thanks
fuckin awesome!!!! i want one!
@tiffanykerley i got it :)
Nice watch thou
Not sure why you would take a watch to a jeweler to adjust the links in the band... it's pretty easy to do... that's kind of like admitting you go to your mom to zip up your fly and tie your tie....
You're kind of like saying, don't go to your grandma to zip up your fly, she'll get your ding a ling caught in your zipper, go to your mom instead, she does it better... :-/
If I can take a link out of a watch and a motorcycle chain, you can too... believe in yourself, dude!
You're moving the watch around too much.
its not a sapphire crystal. bad information thay should have been edited.
300-400 bucks
I CANT SET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRIPOD buddy
I don't make money off youtube, if you send me a tripod, I'll make a better one next time. Sincerely a poor college student.
