 "5 stars at a Truly Bargain Price for a full featured watch" 2009-12-13
By Burt Kaufman (Austin, TX USA)
This is a bargain at twice the price, but it is about $50-55. It is atomic (set by radio from the atomic clock in Ft Collins, here in the USA), and other places in Russia, Japan, Europe. (Note that Russia is deactivated by default. This saves your battery.) It can be a bit complex to set, but if you just want to set the time zone so the watch is reading the correct hour, it is simple. Wait to get help if you want to turn on 24 hour time, beeps on the hour and such advanced features, or DST.



So the watch is rated at 15 seconds a month accuracy but the atomic clock from which it derives the time is accurate to 1 second in 20 million years. It is rated as water resistant to 165 feet - 50 meters. And Casio makes a very stout watch.



Negatives other than being complex? Well it is solar/light powered (any visible light that strikes the face, charges a permanent battery). Net result, you never have to change the battery, reducing the cost of operation to replacing the seals every couple of years that maintain the water resistance. (I bet very few people do that though, without the reminder of the watch battery needing replacement. Its cheap enough to just buy a new watch when the seals fail.) But as the battery is charged, what appears to be a 3 segment display in the upper right, never moves beyond the two lines that were originally lit. (Don't know if it doesn't work, or each bar is two segments, or something else unexplained, but it doesn't seem to make a great difference.)



Thats about the worst thing about the watch, other than it doesn't have an expansion band on it. It DOES have a very long standard band on it though. It is a rather bulky watch, though there are watches considerably worse on the market.



I like it, and recommend it it to my friends all the time. I enjoy a good bargain, when I can find one.

 "Value watch that can do it all." 2009-12-12
By J. Armendariz (Englewood, CO USA)
I've had this watch for over a year and it works great. I use this watch for work, fitness, and cycling. It has many features of the larger G-Shocks at a great price. The G-Shocks were too thick to wear with dress clothes. This is a simple watch that has five alarms to remind me when to eat (I eat smaller meals) and a snooze alarm. This is a great watch for the value. The power is always high, I live in Colorado, and appreciate the atomic clock. It has duel time and a count down timer. I'd buy this watch again! I have a few watches and find myself wearing this one because it is so functional. It beats out the more expensive watches with it's nifty features.

 "Good deal" 2009-11-15
By Erik
So far everything is working as advertised. This model looks and feels a bit nicer than the cheapest Casio models due to the metal casing and overall appearance. The size is slightly smaller and thinner than the bulkier G-Shocks but it is still a fairly big watch. I like many of the features like world time, 100m water resistant, auto light ( it feels the angle of your wrist as well as ambient light ), solar power and the daily atomic reset to exact time. The tiny instruction manual explained all you need to know about the watch and it did not take a long time to read. The glass is probably not the most scratch resistant but it is lowered slightly in to the casing so that should protect it somewhat. The strap feels and looks ok but I have a feeling that it will wear out after a while. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

 "No atomic signal around my area but I get solar power at a great price" 2009-10-06
By C. Chang (Beautiful North West)
Just the right feature for my needs and I commend the description short and succinct description from Amazon. A feature that I found on some of the watch descriptions is the picture with a measuring grid. It allows me to picture the size; instead of taking the written measurements and approximate it with my mind's eye. Some of Casio watch listings had this feature so I used it to approximate this watch. Would be nice if all watch pictures had this feature because it can be difficult to picture the exact dimensions of a watch face that is not square.



As a Canadian buyer there were no shipping choices. It would be nice if we were offered two shipping choices, one standard ground and one express. The only choice I was offered was express shipping for $20 (which is roughly 40% the price of the watch) - good thing it arrived 2 business days later. I would not have mind paying $10 for shipping and expecting it 8-10 business days later.



Overall, with the high Canadian dollar I saved on this purchase from Amazon.com

 "Great watch for a rock-bottom price" 2009-10-05
By Victor Deutchman
This is the most amazing $50 watch I have ever seen. Water resistant to a level I am unlikely to ever surpass, accurate due to automatic sync with atomic clocks worldwide (5 - count 'em 5 time signal sources in the U.S. and abroad), world time / local time settings, solar powered, etc., etc., etc. I wanted a watch that had flexibility, great accuracy, ruggedness, a non-metallic watchband, and was not expensive. I wanted it for travel to Europe next year, and didn't want to have to worry about a big disaster if some gypsy kid managed to steal it from my wrist. This watch has it all, does it all. Thank you Casio!

Very nice watch, super light and easy to use. A lot smaller then the normal Pathfinder. I have only had it a few weeks now, and it seems to be holding up nicely. I wish it came with a compas vrs the barometer.

 "Great value" 2009-11-30
By W. M. Haskins
I think this watch is a great value when considering all the features it provides. The atomic feature keeps it accurate and eliminates the need for changing times in the seasons and in the time zones. The solar power eliminates batteries, the ilumination is good, and though the watch looks heavy it is not.

 "Great Watch" 2009-11-30
By C. Eroglu (East TN, US)
I did a lot of research before buying this watch. At first I was interested in 1300 and 1500 series, but after trying them on at a local store, I reilized that they were a little too big and they wouldnt be very practical for everyday use. Then I came across with this model, it basically has every feautre that 1300 series offer except the compass sensor. I really should say before puchasing this watch I was kind of dissapointed that it didnt have compass sensor, but now I dont even care at all. Because it really is a useless function if you think about it, unless you need the compass to navigate. I tried to hike few times since I got the watch and I just used the altimeter function once or twice. The altimeter function works fine but it needs to be calibrated right before a hike. Same for the temperature and barometer, they need to be calibrated for better accuracy.



This watch is a very light and slick. It takes attention and it fits on my wrist very well. No matter what you wear this watch stands out and looks good.



I should say the best feature for me is the Atomic time keeping function. It is very acurate, it matches the exact seconds with atomic clock all the time. You dont have to do anything to calibrate the watch. When the daylight saving time start this watch would set itself to right time for you.



Like the other reviewer sad, the titanium band is not very durable against the minor scratches. It is really hard to keep in the original polish. That is my only complaint, except that the watch does everything that is it listed on its description. It is almost half the price of 1300 series and it just lacks on compass feature. Thanks to amazon I paid only $115. Great product!

 "Very Happy with this watch" 2009-10-26
By B. C. M. Wagner (Sierra Nevada, CA)
I bought this because it's smaller than some of the monster models. And it is big, but not so big ad the other ones. I can button my sleeve ocer it, at least!



And I like the solar power--I'd heard a lot about battery use for these kinds of watches, so I wanted to make sure that wasn't an issue. The solar power function workswell, and I haven't hasd any problems with keeping the watch charged--at least in sunny CA.



And if you understand that the altimeter works off the barometer function, you should be really happy. Yes, you should reset it when you get a chance...mine often changes 100 feet or more overnight. But that's what barometer does. And if I update regularly, this watch does a great job of telling you where and how high you are!

 "Titanium PAW500T Casio watch" 2009-10-09
By 12review (USA)
Casio Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #PAW500T-7V



Casio Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #PAW500T-7V



I bought this watch after about 1 month of internet research.

The watch I wanted had to be not bulky, with a metal band (All my plastic bands

broke within 3 years and leather bands damaged within 2, so the band had to be metal),

with real mineral glass, water-proof etc etc. For a while MOMENTUM SLK

appealed to me until I've read the glass on them can break too easily due to

it not being recessed and protected enough.

In the end I had only one model to chose from, Casio PAW500T-7V.







PROS



-Balanced looking.



-Titanium watch and band. I would rate this watch as "ultra light for the size".

If you are thinking between this and the plastic version, no need to think very long.

Even the demanding owners who hate bulky watches would likely be happy after

buying the titanium version.



[small comment: the band looks solid titanium, but it is pressed sheet titanium, folded

to look solid. For me it's not a problem.]



-It is not a small watch. On the overall watch market, its place is among medium-sized and large (!)

men watches. Casio markets it as female not because PAW500T is small, but because it is

much smaller than the grossly oversized other pathfinders.



-Internal precision of mine is outstanding. The watch came to me being 7 secondes ahead of time, with last atomic

calibration date 5 month back. About a second error per month running without atomic calibration.

Even my upper-end Oceanus watch has 10 sec/month internal error.



-Barometer, altimeter and thermometer work great after calibration.

Barometer is completely in agreement with published pressures. Correctly predicted

a hurricane two days in advance (large pressure drop). Correctly predicted clear sky for a week

(large pressure increase). The watch was correct. The [...] was not -

it said "80% chance of rain", "rain", "cloudy" and there was sun.



Some people mentioned that altimeter is too variable and insensitive.

I think this altimeter is fine. Like all altimeters, it needs to be calibrated

to current pressure. If one does not calibrate, no wonder he reads +/- 300-feet day-to-day

difference for the same location. That's how all altimeters work.



-Easy to size bracelet. No special tools needed, only a needle or a small

knife. The links are held by spring-supported retractable tiny rods. The band has arrows which point

where knife tip fits to move the rods. For me it was very easy and I am amused that

somebody wrote he had problems. Needed skill level: 1 out of 5.



CONS

Alarm sound is too soft and short. A plus is that there are 5 alarms, so one could

program them in succession.



Backlight duration is 0.5 second. Would be better if there was a user setting to adjust

backlight duration.





VERDICT

This watch is one of a kind, and if lost or stolen, will be replaced with the same.



The checklist:

Digital watch

Solar battery

Atomic time keeping

Very nicely outlined display with "time+month+year+date" or "time+day_of_week+date" options

Big digits that do stand out

Small size (H=35mm x W=38mm size by my ruler, don't know how Casio measured 41mM...)

Light weight titanium case

Titanium case and band

Mineral glass

Dual time (must have for me)

World time

Electroluminescent backlight

100m water submersible

Thermometer

Barometer

Altimeter

 "Excellent quality watch for the money" 2009-12-16
By B. Norton (Illinois, USA)
I was looking for a daily watch that used the atomic clock to adjust time, as well as look good. I purchased the Casio Solar Atomic Waveceptor after reading the reviews and looking at the detailed photos.



When I received the watch, I tried to play with the controls without consulting the manual. This watch does require that the owner read the manual to understand what all of the features mean. After setting the receiver and the secondary watch time zone, I was in business! I routinely work with our office in India. The smaller second watch dial allows me to track the 11 1/2 hour time difference easily.



This watch comes with a stainless steel band with removable links. The band stays closed and opens easily to remove when needed.



I have not been placing my watch in the window ledge as the manual suggested, but it still has been synchronising with the atomic time signal.



This watch has been an excellent choice for me.

 "Generally quite good!" 2009-07-08
By Richard L. Poole (Fredericksburg)
I wanted the most current technology, atomic timekeeping and solar power. I also wanted a solid stainless case that, with the solar feature, would never need to be opened to replace the battery and hence would keep its water resistence. It's not too heavy nor too big (I had three links removed, and I'm a big guy so the band is large enough). It is to-the-second accurate according to my atomic wall clocks and gets a signal update about every other night here in central Virginia. I put it on a bookcase next to my bed, don't need to stick it in a windowledge. This watch is a bit hard to read in bright light. The dial and numerals are polished and put off a lot of glare, but I have unconsciously learned not to look at it straight on, but from a slight angle and that solves the problem. I'm pleased with the quality and accuracy, and it wasn't as complex as I feared. Good, quality product. Dick Poole

 "Solid stylish watch that does not live up to Expectations" 2009-06-07
By thepensive (Los Angeles, CA USA)
This watch looks good, but it has a couple of big issues. One is that you have to zero all the hands so the time is correct. That would not be a problem if it stayed that way, but somehow the watch has twice in three months set the date back by one day. The second hand has also gotten off by a little, so even though you are synched to the atomic clock you have the wrong time and date. Other quibbles are smaller, like not always being able to get an atomic signal, the alarm only sounding for 10 seconds, and the dual time is too easy to change.

Very satisfied with the speed of delivery and the watch. It is the second time I have purchased this particular watch, my old one was broken in a fall on the ice. I love the features on this watch especially if one is crossing time zones or have a need to know local times in foreign countries. I love the fact that I never have to set the time on this watch as it takes its orders from the national atomic clock.

 "Just don't lose the instruction book" 2010-03-26
By Sourkraut (Bay Area, Ca.)
Casio's Waveceptors are pretty neat, eliminate any time adjustments after initial set up, and give you plenty of bang for the buck. Just don't lose the book. Once you've gone through the fairly confusing setup, you'll need it again after a battery change, or if you move to another time zone. This is my second one. They both work great and I've replaced a battery in the older one after about 16 months. Love 'em. Used to be a Seiko fan.

 "Nice watch" 2010-02-10
By D. W.
If you are someone who, like me, needs to keep track of local time and GMT (or some other time zone) then you'll appreciate this watch. In addition to being able to display two timezones (e.g. local time and GMT) on the face, this watch automatically adjusts itself to remain accurate. For my line of work, having an accurate timepiece is vital, so I have been very pleased with this watch. Also, for what it's worth I received my last Casio watch as a gift in 1989 and I still wear it regularly! The only reasons I bought this new one were the fact that the hourly chime on my old Casio stopped working (but it's 21 years old!) and I wanted a watch with a dressier look. Hairy guys take note: The band on this watch tends to grab the hair on my wrist...it's occasionally annoying.

 "Nice watch that works perfectly" 2009-12-02
By Billy Bob (Cincinnati, OH USA)
This is a very nice watch for folks who need to live in multiple timezones or who simply have trouble setting the time. While other reviewers mention that the watch is difficult to set, I didn't find that to be the case. Once you choose your home city, the watch is pretty much automatic. It's when you get into the many different features and functions of the watch that things get confusing. But if, like myself, all you are going to use the watch for is to change timezones and set the snooze alarm, you'll quickly get the hang of it.



Another reviewer mentioned that this is a large watch and they are correct. I have a small wrist and the watch face essentially covers my entire wrist. It's also a rather thick watch, but no more thick than a big Omega or Breitling. Finally, I purchased a watch link remover as I knew I'd need to adjust the watch. Save your money as the links are not your standard watch link. However, using a small screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers, I was very quickly and easily able to take links out of the watch and size it for my (small) wrist.



For the price, this is a great watch!

Cool electronics; When first taken out of it's metal (radio wave and light proof) container, it wound around to updated time immediately. Resetting time zone and getting other functions going is a little involved, but the instructions are pretty good. I'll learn how to deal with it, but won't need to do much after the initial set-up. Ability to show another time zone(s) time will be useful in my travels. Been practicing; i.e. playing; with the zone settings just to see the motor drive the hands forward and backward. New Toy, for sure! Love it.

 "Just what I needed" 2010-01-29
By Robert E
I need a sturdy watch that requires little to no maintenance and keeps accurate time. I also need to display zulu time and local time simultaneously. I need timers. This watch can be set up to do all that. Whats more, once I have it configured, I can see all three at a glance, local time on the analog hands, zulu digital in the window, elapsed time on the rotating bezel!



As for needing sturdy, my previous watch was a Casio Waveceptor battery powered. I had it for 5 years, never had to replace the battery and it worked flawlessly at keeping perfect time. But the case was plastic and the crystal was easily scratched. The plastic case broke and the band fell off. My new watch is 100% stainless steel and the crystal seems to be very high quality, no scratches after one month. The solar feature has no trouble keeping it charged, unlike the lousy motion-generator/condenser system in my Seiko Kinetic. I paid to have the Seiko condenser replaced twice in four years and it needs it again. Those two repairs alone cost more than my new Casio!



Time will tell if the Casio "Tough Solar" really is tough, but I expect it is.



I also should comment that the alarm/signal tones are muffled by the heavy steel case. That is fine with me. I have not used the alarm feature on any of my watches going back to my first digital in the 70's.



Other comments; it has a night light in addition to glow in the dark hands, it looks great and it feels like quality.



I'm very pleased with this watch.

 "Great watch" 2010-01-11
By Transplanted Jayhawk (Elkhorn, NE United States)
I just bought this watch and couldn't be more pleased. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, the hands started quickly moving to the current time. The time zone was set to Eastern time, but that was easily changed. All the numbers are very easy to read. The luminescent dials are easy to read and maintain their glow all night. They are best viewed while your eyes are still adjusted to the dark, don't turn on the room lights then expect to see the glowing. The dial does have a light, but the light only stays on for one second, then you have to hit the button again. The manual cautions against repeatedly hitting the light to avoid running the battery down, but you'd really have to be abusing the light to do that, even heavy use doesn't seem to drain it too fast. The solar panel does a good job of recharging, my battery charge was "mid" as delivered, and today just with normal wear and only exposed to sunlight during a half hour drive with light coming through the window, the battery charge reads "Hi." The bevel rotates counterclockwise, with 120 'clicks' per full 360 degree rotation. Each click is nice and firm, the bevel will not wiggle beyond where you turn it. The digital readouts are easy to read, it just takes time and some memorization to scroll/toggle through the menus. The atomic clock downloads can be done manually (easy to do, fully explained in manual) or left set at automatic. The manual makes a big deal about having the watch properly placed in a window, but mine updated just fine sitting on my nightstand nowhere near a window (and approx. 900 miles from Ft Collins where the signal originates. There is a function to tell you your signal strength, so you can move around to find a stronger signal if needed. The watch is fairly large and relatively heavy compared to most cheaper models, which is a personal preference, but if you want a lightweight thin watch, this is not it. The band is nice and large, my wrist is 7.5 inches around, and I'll have to take out a couple of links in the band. The manual does a really good job of written and diagram instructions, but the print is pretty small. Anyone with trouble reading fine print will want some reading glasses or magnifier to read the manual. As I said above, the watch itself is very easy to read. You can set 3 different alarm times, and also have the option of turning on or off the hourly alert that beeps every hour on the hour. The "alarms" are typical watch beeps, not very loud. I wouldn't recommend depending on it to wake you up unless you are a VERY light sleeper. The clasp on the band is nice, you just squeeze buttons on either side of the clasp to release it. It fastens back very easily and stays closed, no accidental opening/releasing of the clasp. The stopwatch function is nice, it continues to run even if you switch to a different function (i.e. to see what time/day it is). The ability to record split times is a nice option also. Only problem is that if the minute hand is between 25 and 35 minutes past the hour, it partially covers up the digital display. This would not replace a dedicated stopwatch for track meets, swim meets, science experiments, etc. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this watch.

 "Short Straps" 2010-01-17
By Richard F. Wilson (Alberta, Canada)
I like this watch but I can't wear it because the strap is too short. Men's length (strap length) is a bit misleading.

 "Ladies Watch" 2009-11-30
By Horse Owner (Norco, CA)
I've seen this watch advertised elsewhere as a ladies watch, so I took a chance and ordered it. It is definitely a ladies watch, or one for a very small man. Nice watch. Love the atomic feature. I will never have to think about accuracy again. The price here was excellent and far below what I found in a department store. Only negative is the strap retainer--strap keeps slipping out of the retainer.

 "Great watch--large, lightweight, and accurate" 2009-11-03
By Anne G. Davis (Irvine, CA United States)
This is a great watch. It is large, easy to read, accurate, and best of all, solar-powered, eliminating the need to change a battery. The atomic time function works well, so I never have to worry about setting or resetting the time. I would highly recommend this watch for any woman who wants a rugged, tough yet elegant looking timepiece.

 "It's small." 2009-09-22
By M. Patterson (kansas city, mo)
I'm a man with skinny writs and it's fine for me, but it's not for men with average or bigger wrists.



It works fine; it's never been one second off. The alarm is so faint that it's useless.



It should last many years.

 "GREAT VALUE" 2010-03-16
By Louis T. Girdler (Sierra Vista)
The Casio WVM120J-1 is probably the best pure value in digital watches -- and I've owned dozens of digital watches. How Casio can produce a quality SOLAR-ATOMIC watch with 100 meter WR, mineral crystal lens, and every function you can possibly use (except for ABC watches) is simply beyond me. The watch is "unisex" in size and should be considered by both genders -- as well as older children who will not subject it to severe abuse. The band is simple and light, but appears to be substantial enough to last for many years. I didn't need another watch (as my wife will attest) but at this price, I couldn't resist. It's simple on the outside and complex on the inside. It's so light you simply don't know you're wearing it. The button functions have a solid feel and provide an audible feedback tone. The window with the various displays is smallish, but very acceptable. This watch is not pretentious. I would prefer if ALL of the expose stainless steel had the satin finish of the bezel, but the highly polished elements are acceptable. It is elegant in its simplicity and functionality. It's a MUST BUY!

 "An excellent watch for the money." 2010-03-14
By K. L. Salm (Chicago)
If you buy a watch for its functionality and not as a status symbol or piece of jewelery, this atomic watch is the way to go. I have had 3 atomic watches so far and they keep getting better all the time. Just spend a little time with the instructions (your choice of 100 languages :-), just kidding). And you'll have completely accurate time keeping on your wrist. The Rolex people should be ashamed they can't be this accurate for $5,000 let alone under $50!

 "Easily readable and function packed display" 2010-01-03
By Graahak (Reston, VA)
This is a feature packed watch that looks great too. It has a very readable dial and the value added stuff (i.e. everything other than the actual time) is displayed in smaller inner dials. It claims to not require exposure to light for 7 months - although I haven't tested this claim myself, nor do I plan to. It's lightweight and fits snugly on my wrist.

 "Jumping on the G Shock bandwagon" 2009-11-24
By K-Royt Jam (Chicago, IL USA)
I've had my G Shock AWG100R-1ACR for about a week now, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.



This watch has style + really cool functionality. The atomic time is not a gimmick. It actually works!



After taking the watch out of the box and setting up my home city, the watch hands started adjusting themselves to my local time within a couple of minutes. Very cool.



The combination of analog + digital displays makes for a really cool looking watch.



I've yet to really dig in and test all the features of this watch, but with some help from the manual, I'll get there soon.



The only slight negative is that it's hard to see the time in the dark without using the back-light, but I might need to configure some settings to take of that problem.



I'll be travelling with this timepiece soon, so we'll see how it handles the rigors of the road. But for now, my Swiss Army Maverick II has taken a backseat to the G, and at a 1/3 of the price.

I was blown away with the Casio selections up to the high dollar range.

Reading the only review I figured it was time to order something to replace

my black sports watch. In fact I donated three old watches, two of them Casio to

the Goodwill box. This watch has everything I need as well as sport/casual dress

appearance and a never change the battery plus radio controlled. With a two day delivery for less than nine dollars.............. I'm stoked!!!!

Thx, Amazon.

 "Ultimate Watch" 2009-02-19
By dasn0wman (Brooklyn, NY United States)
If you want a watch that has everything, this is it. My previous ultimate watch is the Citizen Skyhawk Titanium. My Citizen has everything this watch has - atomic timekeeping (so you never have to adjust your watch - how cool is that?), solar-powered (so you never have to change the battery - save $$$), standard functions such as countdown, chronograph, day/date, alarm, and then additional cool functions such as world time and back light (to see in the dark). But what sets this watch apart is the design and when I saw it in the store, I knew I have to get it. First of all, it has an analog face - the way a watch you look. None of that digital number face, its ugly. This one has a nice gold interior but you can get one with silver color which is then encased in protective hard plastic. Kind of blending of a formal watch and a sports watch - pretty cool design. The one thing you definitely can't do with the Citizen is throw it around and drop it and still have it working with no scratches. Lastly, it may be isolated or not, but it took me days for my Citizen to pick up the atomic signals and when it came time to change daylight savings time, it took a while for it to adjust as well. I took this watch out of the box and immediately the hands started moving frantically until it finds the correct time. Oh, I almost forget. The Citizen costs over 4x as much as this watch.

By NILADRI MUKHERJEE (NEW JERSEY, USA)
This is a nice & cool watch. like any other Casio watch it gives accurate time. The auto time sync feature is really cool & it works perfectly. But I had hard time setting it up to work for the first time. It syncs with the atomic time only in the mid night & my watch did it in the third night :). There after it does it automatically I do not monitor it any more.

 "Alarm Sound is useless" 2009-09-15
By G. Herron (California, USA)
Casio has been my favorite watch since they started making them. I've had them most of my life. However, it seems that all the one's coming out now have such a low sound on the alarms or for chimes for on the hour is useless. You would have to have the thing next to your ear to hear it. If you were asleep, forget it. I love everything else about their new line. Everything works great but that. Too bad as it was the real deal breaker.

The purchase of this watch has shown me that Casio's workmanship has remained consistent and a great value. The price was excellent for such an accurate timepeace. This is my second purchase of a similar timepeace made by Casio and will always look to this company first for accuracy and durability.
