Technical Specifications

• Full-Auto LED light A twist of the wrist in weak light conditions automatically lights up the display backlight.

• Solar Power Invisible solar cells in the watch convert light into energy and supply all functions. A rechargeable battery provides the necessary capacity for operation in poor light conditions.
• Digital-compass A direction sensor measures the magnetic north and displays north on the watch, as well as the direction in which you are currently moving.
• Barometer (260 / 1.100 hPa) A built-in sensor measures the local air pressure and shows it on the display. This can be helpful, e.g. while hiking, to recognise weather tends at an early stage.
• Thermometer (-10°C / +60°C) A built-in sensor measures the local temperature and indicates it on the display.
• Altimeter 10000 m A built-in sensor measures the local air pressure and calculates the current altitude.
• 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.

• 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.

Casio ProTrek PRG330 Outdoor Watch Review

Then again, all the functionality in the world won’t amount to a hill of beans if it’s not comfortable to wear and easy to use. Fortunately, the Casio ProTrek PRG330 is quite comfortable. This is in no small part due to the lighter weight of the watch (56g), its overall compact dimensions (47mm sensor to pusher; 12.5mm thick; 52.3mm lug to lug), and the strap. Now, resin straps may not get much love or attention, but when it comes to an outdoors watch, they make sense. They’re light, they’re strong, and they don’t pick up lint and dirt like a silicone or rubber strap might. Casio has also included something that I’ve been seeing on more of their watches as of late – small, curved pieces that are under the strap at the lugs. This helps first to curve the strap a bit. Secondly, it fills in the gap you might otherwise have between your wrist and the case, making for an overall better fit. So, when it comes to comfort, the Casio ProTrek PRG330 has that down.

What about usability? Sometimes, when a digital watch shoves a ton of functionality in, it can be fairly complex to remember how to use all of it. No such problems with the Casio ProTrek PRG330. For most of the major functionality, you’ve got the icons labeling the buttons, which I noted a bit earlier. In regular timekeeping mode, you can use the ‘Adjust’ pusher to cycle the top display between a barometric line chart and two different day/date displays. Using the mode button jumps you through sunset/sunrise times, max barometric pressure, a stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, and world time. Clean and easy. Even adjusting the auto-on capability of the backlight (i.e. whether it does it or not) is easy enough – press and hold the backlight button. A small ‘LT’ will appear in the lower display when auto-on is enabled, and go away when it’s not. It’s a shame the backlight is made of LEDs rather than an EL subsurface, but it still gets the job done.

With the auto-on, the Casio ProTrek PRG330 exhibits some further smarts as well. Basically, if it’s bright out (be it the sun or lighting in the room you’re in) it knows to not turn itself on. This sort of wizardry makes sense, given that the Casio ProTrek PRG330 is solar-powered. As the watch goes, it wants to maximize the battery, so it’s smart about it, such as with the backlight, or with turning the display off, as I mentioned earlier. I’m definitely a fan of solar powered watches, and including it in something so outdoors-oriented makes sense.

Some may wonder why there is no sort of fitness tracking included on the Casio ProTrek PRG330, given that you’ll be active with it outside. I’ve no mole in the Casio skunkworks, but I’ve got my theories. First up, it’s powering it all with solar power and you’re trying to conserve your battery. Adding in a fitness tracker and attendant Bluetooth radio is going to suck power (not to mention if you tried adding in a HR sensor). More importantly, though, would be size considerations. There is already a lot of technology coming in via the Triple Sensor movement in the watch. You start adding in another sensor and radio, and you need a bigger watch. Perhaps a larger ProTrek could handle it, but remember – the Casio ProTrek PRG330 is intended to be a more compact member of that family.

Coming in with a price of just $200 USD , I think the Casio ProTrek PRG330 is a solid addition to their lineup, and a great candidate for your next outdoor adventure. I took it with me on a camping trip, and found it worked for all manner of activities – even watching the barometer drop as a rain storm was coming in. Some may prefer the larger, bolder cases of the ProTreks that came before, but I think I’ve quickly become a fan of this newest, smallest member of the ProTrek family.  protrek.casio.com

Question and answer

I hate to ask this, but how many people have told you this watch is too complicated, and the instructions far from easy to follow? I can't even figure out how to make a trek log without hours of confusion...

For some reason I am limited to printing a single page of this manual. And trying to view it online ... the type is so small its almost unreadable. Could you please allow the entire manual to be printed for offline use?

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.  

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .

The pro-democracy protests rocking Moscow, explained

Share All sharing options for: The pro-democracy protests rocking Moscow, explained

Tens of thousands of people protested in Moscow on Saturday, marking the fifth weekend people have rallied in the Russian city to demand fair elections.

The demonstrations began in July after election officials barred opposition candidates from running for the Moscow city council, disqualifying their ballots because of what officials claimed were irregularities in the 5,000 signatures each had to gather to run.

That decision — to block the opposition from participating — turned a sleepy municipal election into a political controversy that intensified amid police crackdowns against demonstrators and opposition figures.

Saturday’s rally in Moscow was the largest yet, and one of the biggest political protests in Russia in years. Estimates put the crowds at about 50,000 , although authorities suggested the official number was closer to 20,000. The rally was sanctioned — meaning people had a permit to protest — although police reportedly arrested about 200 people . Russians in other cities, including St. Petersburg, also joined in on the demonstrations, a sign that the unrest and dissatisfaction may extend beyond Moscow.

Moscow’s municipal elections are very much the focus of these protests, but it’s hard to divorce it completely from larger political and economic issues within Russia, specifically President Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.

“As with many other protests and uprisings all around the region, they’re much more fluid when it comes to reason, but they’re still emblematic of what is happening with the general dissatisfaction with the state of affairs, in this particular case, the policies of Putin’s administration at the moment,” Maksym Eristavi, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council in Prague, told me.

The Moscow city council elections are expected to move ahead on September 8, and it seems extraordinarily unlikely that authorities will give in to protesters’ demands and let the opposition stand for the vote. But if the protests continue or continue to spread, the uproar over the municipal elections may be just the beginning.

Opposition leaders followed the onerous rules to get on Moscow’s city council ballot. Election officials still denied them the chance to run.

All 45 seats in the Moscow city council are up for reelection on September 8. The legislative body is controlled by the pro-Kremlin ruling United Russia party. But the party is pretty unpopular right now, so the Moscow United Russia candidates came up with an ingenious plan to run as independents in the city council instead.

A bunch of people actually wanted to run as legit independents — opposition candidates. To do so, they had to meet some pretty onerous requirements, specifically garnering 5,000 signatures each from voters.

But officials on Moscow’s electoral commission invalidated many of the signatures for these opposition candidates, claiming they were faked or had incorrect details; some opposition leaders accused election officials of altering the signatures themselves.

About 30 opposition candidates were initially disqualified from running, and many just happened to be outspoken critics of the Kremlin. In another funny coincidence, none of those United Russia-candidates-turned-independents were disqualified, although critics claimed they didn’t even bother to actually collect signatures or that their applications were barely verified by election officials.

On July 14, about 2,000 protesters — including opposition candidates — rallied outside Moscow’s election headquarters to protest the disqualification of the candidates and to demand a meeting with Moscow’s election commissioner . Dozens were arrested, including some opposition candidates.

The protests continued. On July 20, more than 20,000 protesters met in Moscow to demand the opposition candidates be included on the ballots.

Opposition leader and anti-corruption advocate Alexei Navalny — a major Putin critic who was blocked from running against him for the presidency in 2018 — had called for another protest on July 27 and was promptly arrested on July 24 and sentenced to 30 days in jail for organizing an unauthorized protest. While in prison, he was hospitalized with a severe allergic reaction, with some allies worrying that he might have been poisoned.

Other opposition candidates have since been arrested, including Dmitri Gudkov, who once served as an opposition voice in the state duma (legislature) and has now been sentenced to 30 days in jail for organizing an unauthorized election protest ; and Ilya Yashin, a prominent opposition figure arrested for organizing an unauthorized protest after the July 14 rally. Yashin is also calling for Moscow to cancel the September 8 elections.

But the demonstration still went ahead on July 27, where Russian police arrested nearly 1,300 people and reportedly beat back protesters with batons.

A fourth round of protests took place on August 3, with several hundred detained. And on August 10, 50,000 people gathered, including some high-profile Russian celebrities, even though many of the opposition leaders are now jailed. Lyubov Sobol, an opposition candidate who is now on a hunger strike in protest of her exclusion from the Moscow ballot, posted a video on Twitter that appeared to show police barging into her apartment ahead of the protest.

The protest on August 10 — like that on July 20, where 20,000 participated — was sanctioned, meaning protesters had a permit. Brian Taylor, a professor in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, told me that might have made it more likely for people to come out and protest, as the risk of arrest is a bit lower than during those unauthorized protests.

“Even so,” Taylor said, “we do seem to be seeing a ramping up in tension around this rather than a successful repression of protest on the part of authorities so far.”

Eristavi, the senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, told me it’s important to keep in mind that people were still detained, but that authorities were careful to avoid arresting people in large numbers, and largely did so away from the cameras.

He described this as part of the Kremlin’s “larger disinformation narrative” to sow confusion. “You’re not acting out as completely authoritarian places like North Korea, or some places that just don’t care about the optics — you have to preserve some kind of a confusion,” Eristavi said. “If I’m abroad, or even I’m somewhere else in Russia, and I’m seeing this, I don’t know what to make of it; it could be worse.”

But beneath the optics, there’s corruption and a skewed justice system and media and internet restrictions. And these bigger issues are what the Moscow protestors may be demonstrating about going forward.

“It started off fairly small, but it’s obviously now mushroomed into something more than just can they stand for election to the municipal council,” Angela Stent, author of Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest , told me. “But it’s a much broader issue of people’s rights, people’s right to vote, to choose who represents them.”

The protests are a powerful statement — but it’s hard to predict what comes next

What prompted the protests in Moscow is very much authoritarianism 101: the government using all the tools available to sideline and stamp out the opposition.

“Wherever the opposition goes right now, they’re meeting what we might consider soft repression, manipulation,” Taylor said. At first, election officials tried to ban the Moscow candidates from the local elections; when that didn’t work, authorities started arresting those opposition leaders and protesters.

The question is why they would go to such lengths. It would seem that letting a few opposition candidates into the Moscow city council to debate budgets and discuss trash pickup might not be much of a threat to Putin’s regime. Voter turnout tends to be pretty low for local elections, anyway.

But that’s not how the Kremlin is looking at it — or dealing with it.

“In the past, you might have expected, even this time, the Kremlin to say, ‘okay fine, a couple of people can run,’ and then just figure out a way to manipulate the ballot so that they don’t actually win, even if they do win — or if they win, then figure out some excuse to have them removed,” Evelyn Farkas, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from 2012 to 2015, told me.

But instead, Moscow basically dug in. And the opposition, this time, responded in kind. “‘The Kremlin is digging in its heels, so let’s test it,’” Farkas said.

Moscow, of course, is a major city, with more than 12 million residents, so Putin’s regime is going to be particularly attuned to what’s going on in the city. And Putin may have particular reasons to be a little sensitive these days.

Putin and the ruling United Russia party have been slipping in popularity as more Russians become disillusioned with the state of the Russian economy, including rising inequality and falling incomes. Declining oil prices and sanctions have squeezed the Kremlin, and the government had to push through unpopular measures last year, including increasing the retirement age.

Though Russian media is tightly controlled, citizens are also starting to express frustration about Russian government corruption and mismanagement and the country’s increasing isolation in the world. And many, especially younger generations, have basically known no other leader but Putin. They’re beginning to wonder about Russia’s political future when Putin’s term is up in 2024 . Many are unsure about what will happen after —or if there will actually be an after.

“I think a lot of this is about the future of the country, and are these young people now, if you’re 30-years-old, are you going to continue to have to live under a system like this, where you really don’t have a lot of political choices and where the economy isn’t doing so well?” Stent said.

Stent and others pointed out that the protests are being led by young people, similar to the protests that have rocked Hong Kong for weeks . And while there are definitely visible opposition figures, they’re both largely leaderless and rely on grassroots organizing — making them more fluid and spontaneous, and maybe just a bit harder for authorities to squash fully.

Putin, meanwhile, has accused Western democracies, specifically the United States , of meddling and fomenting the unrest — a talking point that he’s famously used before .

Putin’s problems are likely closer to home, although it’s far too early to say what these protests will accomplish — and what it means for Russia. Experts pointed out that this weekend saw other cities join in protests, including St. Petersburg, where about 80 or so people were detained . If that continues, that’s a sign that discontent might be more widespread.

But few thought Moscow’s protests were a legitimate threat to Putin’s regime, at least in their current form. The government has been able to keep the opposition off the ballot and to largely deal with the protests through arrests. And Putin has faced politics protests in the past, notably in 2011, 2012, and 2013 over the electoral system, all of which faded without much changing.

“We shouldn’t assume the days of the Putin regime are numbered,” Stent said. “We’re not there yet.”
