This multi-function watch from the Casio Pathfinder series keeps you well informed and stylishly equipped for outdoor exploration, aviation, and everyday adventure. The large round digital display shows the time (kept highly accurate with multi-band waveceptor atomic timekeeping, plus world settings for up to 30 cities / 29 time zones), a digital 360-degree compass, altimeter (with a -700 to 10,000 meter measuring range, plus altimeter memory and graph functions), barometer, and thermometer. Conveniently solar powered, the battery offers an approximate five-month life on full charge without further exposure to light. The watch also comes with a power saving function and a battery power indicator. The watch also offers five daily alarms, an altimeter alarm, a countdown timer, a 1/100 second stopwatch function and hourly time signals. The automatic EL backlight with afterglow makes the display easy to read in all conditions. Stylishly durable, this quartz-powered watch is built with a case and band made of tough resin with a sleek black design highlighted by the silver-toned metal bezel. This watch is water resistant up to 330 feet (100 meters), low temperature resistant (down to 14 degrees F / -10 degrees C), and is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty. <p><center><img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/watches/atomic.type.MULTIBAND5.jpg" align="center"></center><p>
Reader Reviews
This is a big watch! Not terribly heavy for its size. Great features. Everything works perfectly. You will have to read the instruction manual because some of the features are not very intuitive.
The band, however, is a totally different story. The band would get 0 stars on its own. It is a cheap, rubberized/plastic band. This watch retails for $260. The band must cost Casio all of 10 cents. It is certainly possible to make a quality rubber watch band. I have a Citizen dive watch with a rubber band that is fantastic. Every Casio watch I have ever owned, and there have been several, had the same issue with a cheap band. Not only is it cheap, but I'm certain it will not last very long before it rips and has to be replaced. Not only that, but the free end of the strap is constantly coming out of the sliding loop that's supposed to keep it in place. Again, I've had this same problem with previously owned Casios. Other companies solve this problem by using thicker strap material, or using a different plastic/rubber composite material that has a higher coefficient of friction.
Overall, great watch, great features, terrible band, that is deficient in every regard. And worse yet, you can't change the band for one that might be more to your liking. I would definitely suggest handling this watch, wearing it, etc., before plopping down your hard earned cash.
