Most outdoor enthusiasts and professionals prefer watches with a compass.
Casio has been producing watches with a digital compass for several years, which accurately shows 16 directions.
The basis of the digital Japanese compass is a magnetic sensor, with two perpendicular coils and a magnetic resistance device between them. Under the influence of the Earth's magnetic field, the resistance changes, electrical voltage signals are formed. These signals are processed and transmitted to the display by the microprocessor.
Watches with a compass are now featured in the "Pro Trek" series. The devices of this line are designed for use in extreme conditions.
In March 2013, the PRG260 compass watch was added to the "Pro Trek" series. These "Casio" are equipped with a heading sensor that controls the operation of the compass. The direction is indicated on the digital display in "floating" mode. The route can be corrected on the map using the bezel, which easily rotates and locks.
The PRG260 features a traditional design style. This compass watch epitomizes a Pro Trek classic. Large numbers and marks on the doublethe display is clearly distinguishable.
Despite its traditional appearance, the Casio compass watch uses the latest technology for light charging, energy saving and automatic backlighting.
In addition to the direction sensor, PRG260 are equipped with sensors for pressure, altitude and air temperature.
The PRG260 can be submerged to a depth of 200 meters.
PRG260 have 5 alarms, show local and world time, sunrise and sunset information.
In the spring of 2013, Casio also released a new "G-Shock" model. Compass watches, whose full name is determined by the index GA1000-1A, were developed for aviators, so the main emphasis is on increased readability. The markings on the body are large. Arabic numerals are thicker.
In the GA1000-1A compass, the sensor is responsible for the exact orientation to the cardinal points. After pressing the button, this device gives a command to the second hand, which stops running for a while and starts pointing to the North. To correct the route, the Casio watch with a compass stores the main direction of movement in memory. The compass protects the anti-magnetic watch case.
Model "G-Shock GA1000-1A" got backlight "Neon Illuminator". At night, the markers and hands emit green or blue light. Casio researchers believe that these colors are better perceived in the dark. In order to activate the LED backlight, it is enoughslightly tilt the watch towards you.
Local time is shown by analog hands. The world time is displayed on the LCD display.
"G-Shock GA1000-1A" measure and display ambient temperature.
The new watch model has an automatic calendar and a complete set of timers, alarms and stopwatches.
In this review, only two new watches with a compass were presented. Every year "Casio" develops dozens of models. You can learn about new products on the Internet, on the Russian-language page of the manufacturer.
