Everything You Need and a Little Less,

So far so good. I bought this Pathfinder a month and a half ago to replace a Casio Atomic Solar G-Shock whose recessed buttons had become too difficult to press without resorting to the tip of a ballpoint. My son says it's because i have fat fingers. I don't. And anyway, they're no fatter now than they were 18 months ago when I bought the G-Shock and had no trouble with the buttons. G-Shocks seem to do that. On the other hand, I beat the tar out of watches, which is why G-Shocks have always been my first choice. They really can take abuse and shrug it off. I've always felt they had everything I needed, so I was tentative about shelling out twice as much for a Pathfinder that seemed to have a lot of things i didn't need. On the other hand, I do a lot of hiking, have no sense of direction, often gear my agenda by the weather and I'm busy enough for it to matter to me how much time things take. Besides, I had to buy something.
So here, at the 50-day mark, is how that decision...Read more

So far so good. No problem receiving the atomic time updates and after calibrating, I get good results from the compass, atlimeter. My favorite function is the barometer which has proven very reliable in predicting rainy conditions 12-24 hours in advance. Like many reviewers have mentioned....body heat does affect the temperature, so if you want the true temperature you need to take to watch off for about 20 minutes. I have found that I can estimate the temperature within 1 or 2 degrees by monitoring the differential between the actual temperature and the temperature shown on the watch while I am wearing it. In almost all cases during normal use, the watch tempurature is exactly 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature. There are so many other functions that I have yet to become familiar with. I would recommend this watch to other hikers, and to gadget geeks for daily use.

Strap uncomfortable / poor strap design,
October 2, 2008 Konrad "Konrad" (Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casio Men's PAW1300B-4 Pathfinder Slim Solar Atomic Watch (Watch)
The watch performs very well, the strap is the problem.
The strap on this model Pathfinder is a composite of leather/synthetic, and as designed the strap is stitched with a folded over flap on the INSIDE of the band. IMO this is a design flaw because the thick folded flap is beginning to rub my wrist raw. The watch is being returned because Casio advises there is no solution to this problem.
