Perfect for rugged adventurers and weekend warriors, the solar-powered Casio Pathfinder men’s titanium sport watch is loaded with a digital compass and altimeter/barometer/thermometer–perfect for both mountain trekking and cave spelunking. The durable round watch case (measuring 52mm/2.04 inches wide) and bracelet are made of titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It’s also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic–perfect for those with metal allergies. The altimeter offers 5-meter measurements from -700 to 10,000 meters, and it can store altitude, month, date and time data, provide tendency and differential graphs, track cumulative ascent/descent, and sound an alarm when you reach a specified altitude. The watch also has a digital compass with 16 points of measurement displayed on the dial face. Other environmental and timekeeping features include: Barometer with atmospheric pressure tenden (more…)

Husband’s new best friend when he goes fishing
I can’t get into the technical description of this item since I purchased it for my husband who is an avid fisherman.

This was purchased as a gift for a good friend. We both prefer fairly sizable timepieces, so its size had no bearing on our selection. This was intended, by me, as more of a high end “gimmick gift”, rather than to be used to scale Mount Everest. However, we have found numerous and legitimate uses for this type of product. I own a Suunto “Observer”, priced about $100 more, and can find no overt differences between the two. As a matter of fact, the edge may go to Casio because of the solar power. Both require that you remove them from your wrist for 10 minutes to get an accurate outdoor temperature reading. This seemed to be one of the common complaints about this device. That same very phenomenon is also clearly stated in a Suunto manual, Suunto considered to be much higher end and definitely more expensive. The Suunto and Casio manual also clearly states that the device is not to be used for flying, parachuting, or other potentially life-threatening situations that require extreme precision. We have found that both the Casio and Suunto are quite impressive, and in an emergency could possibly, repeat possibly, be used for the above activities (flying, would require an unpressurized cabin). It will certainly be an asset for the day hiker. I have seen a Suunto model on the wrist of a climber who had climbed Mount Everest (magazine picture). Is it worth the price? I think that all depends on what you want it for. We use these instruments for outdoor photography. Having an extremely accurate compass on your wrist really helps when estimating the position of the sun, the time, and other ancillary functions complete the package. I have found my Suunto, and my friend his Casio (this model), to be well worth the investment.

The altimeter does not function correctly, but the compass seems to do well,and the alarms can not be heard. The barameter reads true to local weather stations,and the solar powered battery charger seems to keep the battery at full charge.

This watch stands out in price/performance terms in this category. I replaced a 5-year old similar Casio model that was all plastic and required a battery. (When you are deep in the mountains batteries are a nuisance.)
With solar power the watch is always ready for action. It even conserves power when it sits overnight by turning off the display. All the functions work as documented.
One minor feature that is surprisingly useful to me is the time zone change function based on city location. It’s much faster and easier to switch as you move around the world.
With a titanium band I expect this one to last at least 5 years. Although the watch is large and noticeable it is very lightweight.
Expect to get labeled as a bit of a geek if you wear this watch as a day to day timepiece. It’s information over style although the looks work for me.

BE CAREFUL WITH CASIO
I have had a Casio watch for about a year and now the watchband needs replaced. I was informed by Walmart that they cannot replace a Casio watchband.

Too geeky for everyday, too large all the time.
Obviously many people love this watch, so there is a market for it. But for those of you who are on the edge, I would recommend against it.
First, its size.

Great Watch; excellent timekeeper and great illumination dial
This was a birthday gift. Once I went through the manual and set everything up, it remains pretty acurate (compass, altimeter, barometer).

Swiss Army Knife of Watches
What else could you ask for in a watch. It’s just a bit large on the wrist.
