New strap for Casio Protrek PRG-340

I am extremely happy with Casio's PRG-340 as a robust and long lasting ABC(Alti-Baro-Comp) watch and this is my 2nd ABC watch after Suunto Core. Given the fact that Core only survives for just 1.5 years, I am amazed with Protreks performance after a year with it. The only thing I was not happy was the original strap and I upgraded with a rubber strap from Annefit from Amazon.

For now it looks good, I will tell how if it can stand real expedition conditions soon.

But looks better than the original anyway.

I have a similar Casio ABC which I've used in the backcountry for getting on for ten years. The one thing which I wish mine had was a way to lock the altitude when you're not moving so it doesn't get confused by weather-induced changes in air pressure. Does this one have that feature?

One of my personal favorite watches. Granted it was issued, but I'd still buy one with my $, it's that good.

Mine has seen some use, and it's still running like a top. 👌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻

PS - This was a required picture for the #scavengerhunt of '23. Good times, if you wanna play games for funsies I'd recommend it.

Unfortunately still do not have this function. But if you are stable you have the option to adjust the altitude to a reference number.
