this actually isn't the first time that cassio has sponsored us we did a couple
0:04
spots for their protrac wsdf20 last year
0:08
and i put it on for the photos and then
0:11
basically just never took it off
0:15
so if you were just here for the answer to the question in the title
0:19
i guess that's it the casio pro track wsd f20 if you want to find out exactly
0:25
what it is that i like about it then you can stick around for a little while
0:38
by cassio's own account the wsd-f20a
0:42
which is blue rather than orange like my old
0:45
one is made for people who sound absolutely nothing like me
0:50
it's got a ton of features that are designed for
0:53
outdoorsy folks like built-in gps including glonass and michi beaky
0:58
support it's got an altimeter an atmospheric pressure sensor a built-in
1:03
tide graph and fishing time calculator and the ability to see your location on
1:09
your watch either in near real time or at six minute intervals on a full color
1:13
map with topography and other notable locations marked
1:17
so i guess that's the deal with the 400
1:20
price tag compared to other rugged outdoor products it's actually not even
1:24
outlandishly expensive and it does reasonably well as a as a rugged item
1:30
with rated water resistance down to 50 meters temperature resistance down to
1:35
minus 10 degrees celsius and a mil standard 810g design of course
1:42
i've never used any of that stuff so the reasons why i like it uh number
1:48
one i actually get a lot of compliments on the look even though i've never
1:52
really done a big watch before and i have kind of small arms and kind of
1:57
small hands but people seem to like it number two
2:01
compared to other watches that i've owned it's held up really well to
2:04
everyday wear and tear it still looks basically like the day i got it and if
2:09
you compare that to my poor huawei watch or worse yet that ASUS zen watch that i
2:14
accidentally took scuba diving you'll see why exactly that would be an
2:18
accomplishment number three the battery life is fantastic
2:22
since it's got a big battery designed for using features like gps and i never
2:27
use them so you can actually expect as little as eight hours if you're updating
2:32
your location every second but you'll get one day with more reasonable gps
2:38
update times and i get two so that's tremendous
2:42
and number four this was actually the thing that really
2:46
sold me on it i am a very forgetful person and i don't always remember to
2:52
plug in the magnetic charger every couple of days or
2:56
pack it with me when i'm traveling and so whenever
2:59
i forget the wsdf20 has two stacked lcd
3:05
displays it's got a full color one that has all the Android wear nonsense on it
3:10
so you got your play store and all this kind of stuff and then there is actually
3:14
a second monochrome display and you're gonna
3:18
you're gonna see the the lit one is going to go away in a second here that's
3:22
just a normal watch display that way if your battery does run out you can still
3:27
tell the time and it lasts for about a week from my experience in this mode so
3:32
that's pretty much it all i could really come up with was telling you guys about
3:35
my experience using this thing for the last six months and you can check out
