Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500-1V Top Quality

I purchased the Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500-1V via my wife for Christmas, its something we both do. I have to say I am very impressed. I am a "just like to know/ useless information" type of person and this wrist watch had me intrigued from first sight. I tested out the various non-time keeping inturments on the watch to give my self a feel for its accuracy, or inaccuracy for any matter. Here is what I found, along with the pros, cons, and intuitive insight of add-ons:

Compass: Pretty accurate when compared with my old manual compass from my Marine Corps days. Slight movements will throw off the bearing but,as with manual compasses one should check their bearing from time to time anyway.

Barometer: Accurate when checked with the National Weather Service.

Barometer Graph: Accurate. When the graph displayed a downward slope there was rain or snow within 12 hours, as the weather faired better the graph sloped upward.

Altimeter: I still have not totally figured how to check the accuracy of this measurement.

Thermometer: Inaccurate due to reads the ambient air along with your body heat when worn. Accurate if taken off your wrist and allowed to calibrate.

Atomic Timing: Accurate with offcial US time at [...]

Moon Graph: Accurate.

Tide Graph: Accurate.

Pros:
Solar powered
Atomic Timed
Compass
Barometer Graph
World Time
Automatic Illumimnation, when watch is tilted 40 degrees or more.
Lots of gadgets

Cons:
Thermometer
Bezel too loose

Good features to include for future:
GPS
Mild Vibrate

I have a little insight ot a couple of feature others complained about.
-Illumination time is only 2 seconds: I see this as purely tactical. As a Marine I wouldnt want a backlight so bright to be on for more than a couple seconds.

-Alarm is on the low side, volume wise. Another tactical advantage. I would not want it to be any louder but a mild vibrate feature would solve that slight discrepancy.

-Size; I am six foot tall, 155 pounds, slim build, the watch doesn't seem large or bulky at all.

All and all the Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500-1V is as the the title for my review states, an excellent piece of time keeping equipment.Get more detail about Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500-1V.
