After the advanced GBA-800-9AER [where synchronisation with the phone works functional wonders], I wanted to return to something "tube-like" and so familiar from the Japanese manufacturer. I did not have to choose for a long time, because in our collection of author's reviews a fairly new model PRW-6600YB-3ER was lost, which is definitely not inferior in function and was created for fans of "tube" travel devices .
Let's start with the traditional tourist options that the Japanese have been "refining" for years: the triple-sensor 3 versions impress with precise displays of altimeter/barometer, compass and temperature. If someone argues in the style of "you are showing incorrect data", then you are simply not familiar with calibration [correcting data for accurate indicators from another perfect source]. It all depends on you, namely how much you want to use the watch practically. "This is inconvenient!" - A voice can be heard in the comments. So to speak, syncing with your phone or other nice smartwatch chips can cut down on setup time, but it has one very big drawback: poor battery life. Unfortunately, every smartwatch so far has to be constantly recharged via power sources, and that no longer fits the philosophy of serious hiking enthusiasts, where every extra gram of extra weight can put you out of action.
RW-6600YB-3ER is powered by any light [the watch has Tough Solar technology] and can work up to 25 months in the dark [without illumination]. If you imagine a tourist activity, there must be no lack of daylight [90% of the time], which means the watch is always running. Check and control Suunto, AppleWatch, etc. for everyone present. Of course, it's unfair to compare to other representatives that have greedy GPS capabilities, but even without location tracking, few can perform as reliably over a long period of time. Let's not forget that the PRW-6600 is designed for fans of classic tourism, where GPS is not needed. Radio synchronisation is responsible for the accuracy of the current time. "Oh, it doesn't work in our open spaces" - only in places very far from the Europe Tower it may not work [and in very rare cases]. According to the assessments of various forums, the Central European countries [including the CIS] are very well synchronised. In Ukraine, Belarus and even Russia, for example, it may not "take" a day, but on the second, third or tenth everything is fine. Even a correction once a month is enough to achieve incredible precision on the wrist.
The Tough Movement technology [in addition to the functions described above] also includes a hybrid case structure [a mixture of polymer material and metal components] for more durable watch characteristics and hourly hand correction. This means that the analogue block checks the correct function of the hands in relation to the digital time every hour and corrects any defects. Is it not perfect?
