Another fine Casio Pathfinder
I have admired (well lusted after actually) the Pathfinder series of watches since they first came out. Imagine a watch that can do everything except fire lasers and talk to satellites--the Pathfinders fit this well. I like this particular version because of the slimmer-than-normal face and the reverse LCD screen. Very sharp looking and very easy to use (at least as far as watches that do everything under the sun can be to use).
Unless you are in bright light a lot I recommend turning off the auto-light-up option; each use of the light requires about 5 minutes of direct exposure to sunlight or several hours of office lighting to recharge from. The light only comes on when you move your arm into the classic "what time is is" pose and then stays lit for only about 2 seconds. I sleep with my watch on (I'm in Iraq--the less I have to grope for in the dark the better) and I apparently activate it a lot while I sleep.
The barometer thermometer and compass are all very accurate once you calibrate them--make sure you are wearing it when you calibrate for temperature.
A great watch that fits well and looks sharp.More detail ...
