This review is from: Casio Men's PAW1300-3V Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Green Watch (Watch)
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...Read more

I like the looks and the features of the watch. Initially thought its green color looked too 'toyish' but it's actually not bad at all. I'm happy with it.
I have two gripes for this watch. First is its excessive time drift if not synced to WWV signal. I have other 'atomic' watch and clocks and my paw1300 has the worst internal clock accuracy. It loses about a second every two days, but it is still within Casio stated accuracy of +/-20 sec/month. That's the worst I've seen in any quartz type watches so I have to sync it regularly to offset the drift. My second gripe is it's poor WWV signal reception sensitivity. My other Casio G-Shock watch with the Waveceptor feature can pick-up the signal on most tries, but not my PAW1300. When tried together side-by-side, the paw1300 is successful maybe 10% of the time.
Other than my two gripes, I like the watch. It looks good, fits nicely, and has useful functions.
