Identify Your Casio Watch and Module Number

All Casio watches include two numbers etched on the rear metal cover plate of your watch.

The model number will begin with a letter mixed in with letters, numbers and a hyphen. My Pro-Trek watch’s model number is PRG-270.

The module number identifies the internal component of your watch. This number is usually found inside a rectangle “box” and is used to identify the specific user manual (refer to the reference section for the URL) of your Casio watch

Technical Specifications

  • Super-Full-Auto LED light
    • If the ambient light fades, a turn of your wrist illuminates the watch display particularly brightly.
  • Low-temperature resistant (-10 °C)
    • Even temperatures as low as -10 °C have no effect on this watch.
  • Solar Power
    • A solar cell provides power for operation.
  • Barometer (260 / 1.100 hPa)
    • A special sensor measures the air pressure (measuring range: 260 / 1100 hPa) and presents this on the display in the form of a symbol. This enables early detection of weather trends.
  • Thermometer (-10°C / +60°C)
    • A sensor measures the ambient temperature around the watch and displays it in °C (-10°C /+60°C).
  • Digital-compass
    • A built-in direction sensor detecs the magnetic north.
  • 10,000 m Altimeter
    • A pressure sensor detects changes in the air pressure and converts the result into an altitude up to 10,000 m.
  • Sunrise/sunset display
    • After entering the geographical location, sunrise and sunset times can be displayed for any given date.
  • Height Gain
    • The height gain sums all the meters you have climbed in a session, so that you can see at a glance the total ascent on a tour.
  • Altimeter data memory
    • Depending on the model, up to 40 sets of elevation data can be stored in the watch’s data memory and re-accessed at any time. Each of these data sets consists of a measured altitude as well as the date and time. In addition to the individual altitudes, the maximum and minimum altitudes during a measurement are also stored.
  • World time function
    • Displays the current time in major cities and specific areas around the world.
  • Stopwatch function – 1/10 sec – 1.000 hours
    • Elapsed time, split time and final time are measured with 1/10-sec accuracy. The watch can measure times of up to 1000 hours.
  • Timer – 1/1 min. – 24 hours
    • For fans of precision: the countdown timers help you to remember specific or recurring events by giving off an audible signal at a preset time. The time can be set to the nearest minute and up to 24 hours in advance. Ideal for people who need to take medicines every day or those who do interval training.
  • 5 daily alarms
    • The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set. This model has 5 independent alarms for flexible reminders of important appointments.
  • Snooze feature
    • Each time you stop the alarm, it sounds again after a few minutes.
  • Button tones on/off
    • The button tones for using the mode button can be turned off. This means that the watch no longer beeps when switching from one function to another. Preset alarm or countdown timers remain active when the button tones are deactivated.
  • Automatic calendar with Date, Day and Month
    • Once set, the automatic calendar always displays the correct date.
  • 12/24-hour format
    • Times can be displayed in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Spring Bars

You can either purchase a set of curved or straight spring bars.

I have used replacement curved spring bars in the past but I really did not see any difference between two types.

Curved spring bars and bit more expensive and difficult to find so you should factor that into your purchase consideration.

In a crutch, you can use 1.5 mm diameter spring bars

but larger diameter will bind more to the straps. That in turn increases the tension on the spring bars so it is best to stick with 1.5mm diameter spring bars.

As far as measurements are concerned, please note the length of a spring bar is measured from the tip to the end of a tube.

Straight or Curved?

Tight or loose inside wrist band hole?

Watch Band

Watch bands for Casio Pro-Trek PRG-270 have protruding bumps so most generic replacement straps are not compatible with the watch.

Please note that all genuine Casio watch bands come with metal buckles. Metal buckles also are stamped with CASIO letters.
