 Casio Pathfinder PAG80-1v July 17, 2008
I have a number of Pathfinder/Protrek watches from Casio. The PAG 80 is an "ABC"(altitude/barometer/compass)watch with a solar battery. Each "ABC" Casio has similar and different characteristics. The solar battery is usually a plus. The readout on this model is very good. It is one of Casio's largest Pathfinder models-this might be of concern--depending upon the size of your wrist. Once the barometer/thermometer/altimeter are calibrated they give a acceptable degree of accuracy. Casio does not claim that these are "highly precise" instruments. The compass can also be calibrated for magnetic declination.
I really like the size of the digits in the display. They are very easy to read "at a glance". This is a great watch for the out-of-doors or for every day usage as well.

I have worn my several year old pathfinder snorkeling many times with no leaks. I cant say that about other watch brands I have worn. Mine doesnt have a countdown timer which i could have used. I would not depend my life on the altimeter readings but I rather doubt anyone has to. (Found out it doesnt work in a pressurized jet.)
I have never checked the exact accuracy of the compass but it certainly will tell you which direction your going and that should be sufficient for most hikes.
Overall except for the size of mine it is a good watch. The solar power works fine too.

I bought the Casio Sport Pathfinder Triple Sensor Solar Power from Sam's Club for about $162.84. It has all the features I wanted. The only complaint I have about this particular model is that the light button is hard to press, especially at night when you need it. And when you press a button after you press the light button on the watch, it automatically turns light off. Kinda sucks when you are trying to do multiple functions during limited visibility. All the other features work well including the full auto el. The five alarms is a great bonus!
Absolute Great Watch - Recommend to anyone May 17, 2008

With this watch you can't go wrong. First, even though one variation will sync with the Atomic clock for about $40-50$ more, don't waste your money. This watch stays within just a second or two per month accuracy. In addition to keeping time, the capabiity to select a world zone by a city and then use that dual clock is as simple as it gets.
As usual, Casio makes a watch that does not take a genuis to learn to use - even without reading the manual. Determining how to use the Altimeter, Barometer, and electronic compass is virtually self-explanatory. You do need to know that you have to manually synchronize the altimeter in order to ensure your readings are correct during a given time period. The only way to prevent this is to have a watch that could triangulate its altitude from satelites and to my knowledge, that dog hasn't been born. However, that being said, the importance lies in the fact that you have a tracking graph that indicates a 24 hour history of changes in both the barometer and altitude. That's what's really important so that even if the altitude settings are off, or the barometric pressure setting is temporarily incorrect, you can look at the graph and know the relative change. For instance, if the graph indicates dropping pressure over the past few hours, you can pretty much assume, the weather is probably going to move from good to bad (low pressure usually indicates a weather front is coming through or rain developing).
One nice surprise is that when using the watch at night, a simple tilt of the wrist toward your face will cause the back light to temporarily come on. I.e., you don't have to push the button. I never saw this function in the ads or in the manual.
Finally, it is well built and although reasonably large by watch standards, it is comfortable for a man. I'm not sure most women would want to wear it though. You can't go wrong with this watch. Just make sure it is this model because some of the others close to the same price do not have all of these functions.

The Pathfinder solar watch lives up to what i expected it to. The temperature, altimeter, barometer and compass works as advertised. If i ever wanted to know how hot it is, how high up i am, if the weather is gonna change or what direction i'm going, this is the watch to own.
