- Does the PRG-270-1 need a battery change?
- No. It runs on solar power through the dial, so under normal light it keeps charged without a battery swap. Keep it in light regularly and watch the charge indicator.
- Does it have GPS or Bluetooth?
- No. It has no GPS and no phone pairing. Navigation tools are the Triple Sensor compass, barometer/altimeter and thermometer.
- How accurate is the altimeter?
- It is a barometric altimeter, so it drifts as air pressure changes. Calibrate it against a known elevation before a hike for useful readings.
- Is it good for swimming?
- It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not a dive computer and the buttons should not be pressed underwater.
- What is in the box?
- The watch with its resin strap and a user manual. No charging cable is needed because it charges from light.
- How does it compare with higher ProTrek models?
- It gives the same tough solar and Triple Sensor core without GPS, Bluetooth or a sapphire crystal. That makes it simpler and more self-contained than the top ProTrek lines.
