Casio Men's PAW1300-3V Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Green Watch Review

I have owned two Casio G-shock watches over a span exceeding a decade.I always liked the G-shock, but alas the viewing light recently stopped working and it was time to try something with a few more features.After quite a bit of searching I settled on the Pathfinder (model PAW 1300 - 3v) and I believe I made the correct personal choice.

Before actually receiving the watch from Amazon I was definitely concerned about the overall size of this watch.From my research I was half afraid I would end up with a geeky watch the size of a dinner plate on my wrist. Moreover, I don't have a big wrist to begin with so this was a real concern.I was pleasantly surprised that although slightly larger in circumference than a standard watch, this watch was not nearly as large as I had imagined.In fact, the difference between this model (1300) and the previous model (1200) is the size.The 1200 is nearly identical in features but is quite a bit thicker than the newer 1300 model.This Pathfinder sits nicely on my wrist and does not look unusual.

Practically speaking, this watch has a lot of nice features that I like, such as the compass, the automatic display light, atomic synchronization, and the solar power to note a few.While I would easily purchase this watch again, I might consider the model with the metal band.I say this because somehow with the price of this watch I was expecting it to have a bit more panache to it, if that makes any sense.This watch is fairly light weight and somehow looks characteristically similar to a lot of other pedestrian plastic-band watches out there.That may be fine for people who want just a plainish looking watch, but somehow the metal band version might look a bit nicer, although perhaps not as ruggedly practical.

I haven't had this watch long enough to judge its overall durability, but if my former G-shock watches are any indication, this Pathfinder should hold up just fine.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/Digital Compass Watch #PAG40-3V Review

I love this watch and never travel without it. I followed the instructions in the manual and use the thermometer a lot. To get an accurate ambient air temp reading I just take off the watch and wait about 8 minutes in the shade. You can also calibrate the thermometer and found the factory setting to be dead accurate! I discovered that if you read the temp while wearing this watch it will read your skin temp and have found this to be very helpful in monitoring my skin temp. Anything less than a 83 degrees means I am starting to get uncomfortably cold and need to warm up. 86 degrees skin temp is perfect for me. Knowing this allows me to tell if I have a fever or just over worked etc.

I use the altimeter alarm function when I fly to alert me of a faulty cabin pressure system during my commercial flights. I set my PAG 40 alarm to 8000 which is the maximum altitude pressure allowed in passenger cabins set by the FAA. If the cabin pressurization goes above 8000 ft the alarm will sound on the PAG 40. There is a graph at the top of the screen to check your altitude history. The graph is also used for tracking barometer history.

I calibrate my altimeter daily to get an accurate reading since the barameter will change by the hour.

The compass feature is great and you can also calibrate that too. I find the compass usefull at night and on heavy overcast days.

You get 5 seperate alarms and a short alarm for the top of each hour. All the alarms can be turned off or on seperately.

The stopwatch function does split times and single timing. It will not do laptimes for example timing laps at a race on after the other.

It runs on 4 batteries part# 395. Which I was able to change them myself.

Watch speed calibration was also accessible!

The display is large and easy to read.

I have owned my Casio PAG 40 for two years now.

The watch band has held just great so far and the watch is free of defects.

I plan to buy two more of these watches.
