Product Description

The Casio PAW-1500 Pathfinder Story

Combining the best elements of Casio Pathfinder & Sea Pathfinder, the PAW1500 with Tough Solar Power and Multi-Band 5 Atomic Timekeeping, steps beyond its core competencies of Digital Compass, Altimeter, Barometer and Thermometer by adding Tide Graph, Moon Graph and Moon Age Data. And if that wasn't enough, it's also 200M Water Resistant.

	Tough Solar Power You don't have to worry about changing your battery again with Pathfinder's solar technology. The battery is automatically charged by light, either direct from the sun or from light sources inside. Watches with this feature have a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell.
	Altimeter Use the Pathfinder's altimeter to help gauge the time you'll need to reach the summit! The altimeter checks and displays the altitude every two minutes. The graphing function positions you with respect to your target altitude, while alarm alerts you as you approach your mark. You can manually record up to 24 sets of data with each record displaying the altitude, month, date and time. The measuring range is from -700 to 10,000 meters (-2,300 to 32,800 ft.).
	Barometer Predict changing weather patterns using the Pathfinder's barometer. It takes readings every two hours and stores them automatically. It graphically displays the barometric pressure for the past 20 hours. The display ranges from 260 to 1, 100 hPa/mb (7.65 to 32.45 inHg) with changeovers from hPa to inHg.
	Digital Compass During measurement, the watch displays an angle value, a direction indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically when the watch is moved. After measurement is complete, these measurements are frozen in accordance with the last measurement.
	Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping Multi-Band 5 Atomic timekeeping is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), and the United States (For Collins) and the time calibration signals transmitted in Japan. It will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly.
	Thermometer A built-in thermometer displays and checks the temperature every 5 minutes. The display can be converted from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Temperature ranges are from -10 to 60degrees C (14 to 140degrees F).
	Auto Light You'll always be able to read your Pathfinder display, even in total darkness. EL Backlights make the face of the Pathfinder exceptionally bright. The watch also includes an auto light. So when you tilt the Pathfinder toward your face, the EL Backlights automatically light up for night time viewing.
	Tide Graphs Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The tide graph indicates tidal movement based on the Moon's transit over the meridian and the lunitidal interval.
	Moon Data The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon phase.

I have had several multifunction watches. The Casio Pathfinder is by far the most durable and solidly built watch I have ever owned. It functions as advertised and I would not want to be anywhere without it. The only complaint I could offer is that when the watch is in temperature mode, it's accuracy is impaired by body heat.So, for an accurate temp., simply take it off your wrist for a few minutes. I was worried about the atomic time keeping, but the watch detects the signal without any diffculty.

This is not an intuitive tool to use - read the manual carefully.

Even with the special watch strap shortening tool I bought at the same time, that process was not as easy as one miught think but ultimately worked well (do not lose the internal tube wshers that the nmanual does not mention!!)

Watch has retained a charge well and once I became familiar with the atomic synchronization system, things have gone well - I have not yet travelled internationally but it seems to work fine within the USA
VERY BIG but comfortable

I bought this watch for my dad because his old PAG40 Pathfinder had died for good. It's a much lighter design but not too small, just right. I really appreciated it having the solar powered capacitor instead of the hefty 4 batteries the older Pathfinders were equipped with. Plus theres more functions and less weight without all the batteries and their casings. I'm a watch technician so I appreciate the move Casio made to make the Pathfinder more eco-friendly and add extras. The only thing I wish it came with was a resin band equipped and maybe the cloth band as an extra. Other than that, well done Casio.
