Made for the rugged sea-farer, this Casio Pathfinder Triple Sensor men's digital watch (model SPW1000-2V) includes a built-in digital compass, thermometer, barometer, and depth gauge. It's also solar powered and offers wireless atomic clock updates. This radio-controlled watch receives a time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, and signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles from the Fort Collins transmitter. You can choose to automatically receive this signal four times a day, or manually update the watch to the atomic clock.
And because it's solar-powered--charging in either sunlight or indoor light--you'll never have to deal with changing the battery. Light enters the watch through the sapphire crystal and dial, and hits a solar cell beneath the dial. Current is created and stored in the battery.
The digital compass displays 16 directions and has a 5-set memory capacity that captures direction, month, date, and measurements time data. You can predict changing weather patterns using the PathfinderÕs barometer. It takes readings every two hours, stores them automatically, and can graphically display the barometric pressure for the past 26 hours. It also offers a depth gauge to measure and record ranges from 0 to 80 meters (0 to 263 feet). You can change from meters to feet easily. The watch uses a system-specific nitrogen loading graph.
Timing functions include a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity with elapsed time, split time, and 1st/2nd place time modes, optional hourly signal, daily alarm, 12/24-hour format, and autocalendar (to 2039). Other features include a durable blue resin case and strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

First off, the watch is HUGE!! Case diameter is about 50 mm. For small wrists, it is quite big. For the price I think it's worth it. Barometer/Compass/Thermometer is helpful. Thermometer inaccurate when worn.
I bought this for the depth gauge. Have not tested it yet. Drawback is you cannot operate watch under water i.e. push any buttons. Rendering the compass useless in this situation. Depth gauge has to be set PRIOR to diving. It is never meant to replace any professional diving equipment/gauges.
Overall, for the recreational diver who dose not own there diving equipment and who does not dive on a regular basis this is a fun watch to have especially with all the additional features it has. No regrets on buying the watch.

This is an awesome watch. But one thing completely BAFFLES ME TO NO END - there's no altimeter! The watch already has a barometer, it's a matter of simple calculation - and you can convert from pressure to altitude, but the watch doesn't do it.... (?) RIDICULOUS!!! The only thing I can figure is that Casio wanted to sell you another watch for hiking... As it is, you'll have to walk around with a calculator or a cheat-sheet to convert the hPa to altitude... Irritates/baffles me... It'd be so easy to implement, given that all the sensors to do this are there... I swear CASIO marketing team did this just to drive me nuts...
(here you go, print this out, and swear at casio everytime you have to use it, because they decided not to build this simple relationship in)

Casio has done it again. It does absolutely everything (except complex dive calculations) you would want in a dive watch for recreational diving. I use is primarily for freediving. It is a wonder why it is not more widely available (I've never seen it in a dive shop) and used more. The only reason is it is eschewed by some is that they have been fooled into believing the more expensive watches are better because they are more expensive. These are the same people who pay $600 for Gucci bags.

Nice multi-function watch for the everyday adventurer. Large display for easy reading. Watch holds a decent charge, even after a week in my drawer. Many useful features. Such as, barometer for forecasting weather changes. Compass for underwater and land navigation. Depth gauge that moniters and logs multiple dives. Has a neat world atomic clock receiver for TRUE times. Casio rates the watch for ONLY recreational swimming and snorkeling. But was designed to handle 100 meters or 300 ft. Hmmm... So far, have scuba down to 120 ft. a few times with no adverse affects on the watch. NOTE! NOT a professional diver watch! I wouldn't recommend going pass 100 ft. Must set functions to be used on surface before submersion. Otherwise, water might get pass the seals if any of the buttons are depressed while submerged.
