Amazon.com Product Description
Explore. Inform. Conquer. Featuring sporty style and a durable design, the Atomic Pathfinder is much more than a watch, it's an advanced tool for use in the great outdoors. This Amazon Exclusive is equipped with many high-tech sensors to help you observe nature and monitor its continuous changes.

Atomic Timekeeping for Superb Accuracy
The Pathfinder provides micro-second accuracy with multi-band atomic timekeeping that picks up a time calibration signal from anywhere in the world and updates the watch's settings automatically. The Pathfinder features five daily alarms, a countdown timer, and an hourly time signal. The world time function includes 29 time zones (30 cities), a city code display, and a daylight saving on/off function. The automatic calendar is pre-programmed to the year 2099.

Tough Solar Power Eliminates Need for a Battery
You'll never have to worry about changing the battery thanks to the Pathfinder's Tough Solar technology. The battery is automatically charged by light, both indoor and outdoor. The Pathfinder has a solar cell and a special rechargeable, secondary battery that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The watch will perform for five months on a single full charge.

Automatic Electro-Luminescent Display for Easy Viewing
The watch's read-outs can be viewed in any light, thanks to the Pathfinder's automatic, EL (electro-luminescent), adjustable backlit digital display with afterglow. Two high-intensity LEDs make the face exceptionally bright, and an auto light means that when you tilt the Pathfinder toward your face, the LEDs automatically light up for nighttime viewing.

Barometer, Altimeter, and Thermometer Readings
With the Pathfinder's barometer, you can predict changing weather patterns as they occur around you. The barometer takes readings every two hours and stores them automatically, graphically displaying the barometric pressure from the past 26 hours. The display ranges from 260 to 1,100 hPa (7.65 to 32.45 inHg) with changeovers from hPa to inHg.

The watch's altimeter can help you gauge the time you'll need to reach the summit. The altimeter checks and displays the altitude every two minutes and stores readings with the temperature every 15 minutes. The graphing function positions you with respect to your target altitude, while an alarm alerts you as you approach your mark. You can record up to 40 sets of data with each record, displaying the month, date, and time. The altimeter's measuring range is from -700 to 10,000 meters (-2,300 to 32,800 feet).

The Pathfinder also features a built-in thermometer that displays and checks the temperature every five minutes. The display can be converted from Celsius to Fahrenheit and measures temperatures from -10 to 60 degrees C (14 to 140 degrees F). So whether you're hiking through the Grand Canyon or snowshoeing in the Rockies, the Pathfinder has you covered.

Sporty, Durable Design
This sports watch is durably designed with a stainless steel case, round black resin bezel, durable mineral crystal, and black resin band with a secure buckle clasp. Buttons flank the bezel and allow easy access to the watch's sensors. Yellow and white concentric stick indexes on the watch bezel indicate barometric pressure, receiving capability, battery power, and more. The black dial changes with each mode and provides easy-to-read recordings, including graphs and tables. This timepiece is powered by Japanese-quartz movement and is water-resistant to 330 feet (100 M).

5 out of 5 stars Extremely useful timepiece   July 25, 2010
David J. Paola (San Francisco, CA)
I bought this watch because I wanted two things: Atomic timekeeping and solar power. Both work wonderfully.

Additionally, the bi-hourly barometric reading has been more handy than I'd anticipated. I can see, without leaving the comfort of my bed, whether or not it's going to be a nice day by looking at my wristwatch. How awesome is that?

I've used the compass on several occasions while lost in the city (San Francisco). It works as you'd expect a compass to work.

The thermometer is always a bit high, which I suspect is due to it being pressed against my skin. Not sure how one would solve this problem, but I rarely use the thermometer and altimeter anyway. Perhaps if I were to go camping or hiking somewhere like Yosemite, it could be useful. We'll see.

Overall: This is an extremely useful watch. The alarms ring for 10 seconds, which is enough to wake me up. I only take the watch off to shower. It's size is perfect, and the face is huge and totally readable. I'd recommend this watch to anyone who wants a good, no-hassle atomic/solar watch.



3 out of 5 stars Casio Men's Reverse PAW1300Y-1VCR Watch Review   July 7, 2010
Anonymous
Purchased this watch back in October 2009. Here's my observations as of July 2010:

+ Light weight
+ Low-profile
+ Sharp looking
+ Good functions

- Very hard to read in daylight.
- Black bezel ring chips/scratches too easily. Don't recommend purchasing this watch if you are operating in rough/tough terrain or workplace and are the type to worry about the potential for scratching it.



4 out of 5 stars Casio Pathfinder Reverse Watch PAW1300Y   July 5, 2010
Daniel Laury (medford, or USA)
Been checking my options and decided to stay with Casio. Five alarms (for different days of the week), waterproof to 100 m instead of significantly less on a Tissot Ttouch that I was comparing it to, no battery changes, accurate to about 7 seconds a month based on my manual resetting. I am happy to be able to configure it so it doesn't wake me up to tell me that it failed atomic reset and/or the light comes on when I move at night. Classy looking and thinner than the previous ones that I have owned.
Negatives: harder to clean the face, harder to read due to smaller alphanumeric and though I like the reverse look, not quite as easy to read at an angle. I suspect that the band will be expensive to replace as well (previous ones have been ridiculous)
Would I buy it again? Definitely
Compared to Suunto, Timex, Tissot, Polar



5 out of 5 stars AWESOME WATCH!   June 2, 2010
Peter Keck
Great to look at. Easy to read display. Love the "Second hand" that line the rim. I am a EMT so it makes life a little easier at times. Very thin profile, expected something thicker and heavier. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome looking and very functional watch   March 28, 2010

This watch is really good looking and very functional. I purchased this watch for it's cool looks and for its functions while I am backpacking, hiking, climbing, etc.

Out of the box, the time was correct and the altimeter was within 15 feet of actual distance above sea level. Though I thought I would only be using the barometer function during backpacking trips, I find myself using it on a daily basis to help forecast the next few hours of weather.

The watch looks awesome when on a wrist too. It is a slightly larger face than most watches. It fits well on my small wrists with out looking too large. The reverse LCD on black is a very cool look. I wear this watch with casual wear all the way up to business wear.

I would definitely recommend to anyone on the fence about this watch. I have had it for a little over a month and wear it everyday and it has not began to wear or chip on the bezel.
