 "Casio watch" 2009-12-28
By Staci L. Oetting
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.



All and all I'm happy with the watch.

 "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!

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

 "Beautiful and useful" 2010-01-08
By Hogebon (JPN)
It is not so big the size of this item also for women.

The wave is receivable in U.S. and Japan.

A design and a color show good personality.

 "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

 "Good dependable Casio" 2009-06-22
By Charles F. Weden (Arlington VA)
Generally very happy with this watch. Initially I had a bit of difficulty getting it set to receive time signals. But after a few days it self corrected and all has been well since.

 "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.

Casio Men's Sea Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #SPW1000-2V

Buy Cheap Casio Men's Sea Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #SPW1000-2V

Buy Low Price From Here Now
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).

 "Great functionality and fair price" 2009-12-18
By Raj
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.

 "no altimeter!!! WHAT? there's a pressure sensor but no Altimeter, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!?" 2009-06-11
By Edom (santa rosa, ca)
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 Men's Sea Pathfinder Solar Atomic Watch #SPW1000-2V" 2009-01-21
By Scott Valentine (Seoul Korea)
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.

 "The Everyday Adventure Watch" 2008-10-05
By Mike (Hawaii)
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.

 "Just what I needed" 2010-04-11
By John C. Chandler (Richland, WA USA)
I have always wanted a wristwatch with the cool functions that Casio puts into its watches but with an analog display. This one does exactly that. I might have been happier if it had included an altitude display, but whenever I really need one of those, the airplane I'm flying has one on the instrument panel. What sealed the deal was the stainless case and band, which make this watch look like a civilized timepiece. I had some minor difficulty adjusting the band, but nothing else has softened my enthusiasm. It updates well and keeps good time between updates, and the stopwatch function is easier to read than my last watch. All in all, this watch is what I needed, and I'm happy to recommend it to others.

 "Great Watch!" 2010-02-22
By J. Shao (Saint Louis, MO United States)
I've had this watch for a week now. I cannot wait to share my thoughts.



This is a great watch! There is no need to replace any battery and the time is always accurate to the second (I checked with the internet time#.



Easy to set up #unless you are not electronics-savvy#. I took it out of the box and set it to my time zone. That is about as much setting as you need. It was charged already out of the box, so it was working properly after a few minutes.



The sync was never a problem. I tried multiple locations in the house, by the windows, by the door, and on a counter by the fridge #far away from any door or window#. At all locations I tried, the sync was completed without any problem #my home is about 900 miles from Fort Collins, CO#.



In response to an earlier review, the minute hand advances 1/3 of the division every 20 seconds, so the minute hand does not alwasy point to the division marks. All the hands are aligned well enough on my watch, so no hand setting (one of the modes) was needed.



The watch looks really good on my wrist. Now I just hope it will last long, if not forever.

 "Exactly What I Was Looking For!" 2010-02-08
By G. Demetrius Jenkins
Casio has changed my mind on their watchmaking pedigree. Yes, they still do their G-Shock and somewhat lame calculator watches, but this watch is the ultimate timepiece for the discerning individual who needs function and form.



So far, the atomic signal has been able to reliably update the watch. That has to be my most aspired trait of this watch so far. Yes, the second hand is slightly off when in the 35-55 area, but it doesnt bother me that much.



The digital display is very legible to my 30 yr old eyes, and the LED light is bright enough to illuminate the entire face. I did wish the LED would shine for 2 seconds instead of just one. The chronograph will take some getting used to for me, as my last one made use of the digital display.



My biggest quip regards my size. I need extra links, and even on Casio's website, there isnt a clear way to get more. I understand that they send the watch with more links than the average man, but I am not your average man (6'9" with some of the biggest hands and wrists). The various Casio reselling shops/websites dont carry links for this model either. I am about to give Casio a ring in a few and see if their service matches their product. In the meanwhile, if anyone is willing to send me two links, I would pay for shipping.



All in all, a great timepiece that should last me a long time, should the build quality match my initial impressions.

 "Decent watch, so, so bracelet" 2010-01-08
By Jee Chung (USA)
My automatic watch started losing time in a major way. I wanted to get a replacement watch that didn't require changing batteries every couple of year. I was initially considering a Citizen Eco-Drive model, but then found the Casio models that offer not only the light-powered movement, but also the added benefit of atomic time (via radio signal). After looking at several similar Casio watches, I settled on this one mainly due to the slightly smaller size compared to other sports models. Overall, a great watch, but with some quirks.



Pros:

- Solar-power never needs batteries (in theory)

- Atomic signal time sync works well every night (I am in New England area, about as far as one can be from Boulder, CO)

- Bright lume

- Easy to read

- Relatively comfortable to wear given the 12mm thickness



Cons:

- Bracelet links are loosely coupled resulting in constant clatter with the smallest of the arm movement

- Bracelet size adjustment is too course

- The digital display in the display window is too small to be practical. Can't imagine why the letters/numbers inside are so small when the window itself is decent size.

- No full calendar feature, just date. Why?



Overall, I like mine enough to keep it, but I hope Casio designers make some simple enhancements to make this an even better watch.



UPDATE: After having owned the watch for couple of weeks now, I am downgrading my rating of the watch from 4 stars to 3 stars. The main reason for the downgrade is the poor precision of the second and minute hand movements. As the second and minutes hands move around the dial, they don't line up with the minute markings. Worse, they line up reasonably well through one portion of the dial and poorly through other portions. This lack of precision is rather disappointing from a watch of this price range.

 "Great watch but steep learning curve" 2009-08-13
By Moshe ben Asher (Chatsworth, CA)
I've only had this watch for a few days, but I'm very happy with it. If it turns out to be reliable over time, it'll be the best I've ever owned. It deals with the two most annoying aspects of watches I've had in the past--replacing batteries and regularly resetting to the correct time. This watch can reset itself automatically several times a day, and it runs on natural or artificial light-power.



Notwithstanding some of reviews I've read elsewhere, I can't say that reading the dials on this watch is any different or more difficult than several other chronographs I've owned; and I've found that the back-light feature works very well, both in the automatic mode, when the wrist is turned a certain way, and manually by pressing one of the buttons. However, the watch can be programmed so that this feature is permanently off.



I would rate this watch with five stars except for the User's Guide. It's incredibly small, so it's very difficult to follow the rather complex directions for setting the watch and using its various functions, such as the stop-watch and alarm. Having said that, however, a much more readable User's Guide is available online from Casio at no charge.



On balance, when compared to watches that are not programmable, there is a steeper learning curve involved in the set-up of this watch and becoming familiar with its functions, so it's not for technophobes or the electronically challenged.

 "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.

 "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!

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!

So far I am well satisfied with this watch. It keeps perfect time and is comfortable to wear. I will see this weekend if it

corrects itself for daylight saving.

 "Casio Atomic Solar Watch" 2010-02-06
By Ronnie Collins
Nice watch, works great and it is powered by a solar battery. Just a little on the big side for a woman's watch but not bad.

 "Both solar and atomic, and it's small too" 2010-01-26
By FlyingPolarBear (Fullerton, CA USA)
I got this watch as a Christmas present for my mom so she wouldn't ever have to change the battery or adjust the time. This updated version with the black wristband is more practical than the one I got with the white band because it won't get dirty so quick. With solar power and radio signal time adjustments, this Casio is completely maintenance free. She loves it and it looks very nice. When first taking it out of the package, simply select your nearest major city and then the watch automatically adjusts the time, and that's it. On the little digital display window you can choose to display the time, name of the day of the week, calendar date, or seconds. If it's dark, press another button to activate the backlight for 1 second. This also has the full featured functionality Casio is known for such as alarm and timer. The solar cell is interesting because you won't see any typical looking solar cell, just a very nice almost-sparkling pearly gray face.

 "great watch but," 2010-01-01
By K.D. Brown (Phoenix, AZ, USA)
I bought this watch as a gift for someone. she loved the watch, especially the solar power feature and how easily it worked. However, she says she could not read the watch at night/in dark while using the backlight. I could see it okay, but admit her old timex indiglo was brighter and crisper. Other than, that for those with good eyes, this Casio is a great watch

 "Amazon.com frequent purchaser" 2009-12-27
By Marianne Nichols (Austin, TX USA)
This watch is EVERYTHING I hoped and expected it to be. It IS a sports watch, but the size of the face and band length are perfect for a woman. It is light-weight, very easy to read, and I would recommend it to anyone.

 "Not A Dive Watch!" 2010-03-01
By Mechwarrior (Miami, FL United States)
The watch looks better in person than it does in the pictures. I recommend going to a brick and mortar store before committing on Amazon. The watch looks much better with an after-market nylon zulu/nato strap. Another version with a steel bracelet is offered, but I've heard that the quality on the bracelet is not great, so I recommend after-market bracelets (watch has standard 22mm lugs). The lume on the hands is very bright, unfortunately, the rest of the lume is a little dim, not sure if that is meant on purpose. Weak lume is a non-issue since the watch has a electric light that adequately illuminates the watch. The digital display can be used for a number of things, not just weekday and calendar day indication. It can also display different time zone times, power meter, stop watch, digital time, digital second indicator... etc. Its really cool to see that the digital time is exactly synchronized with the analog time. THIS IS NOT A DIVE WATCH! As far as a I can tell, the watch is not rated for diving, but it is styled after dive watches so I find that a little misleading. The bezel is unidirectional with 120 clicks. The atomic synchronization doesn't seem to work well here in Miami, reception from FT. Collins is poor to non-existent, but that is not Casio's fault. NIST has plans to build a station that will cover the east coast of the US but plans are not set in stone or near the horizon, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Bought the watch at $120 from Amazon (noticed the price went up :( Initially was told that the watch would ship in 1 month! but the actual ship time was a lot shorter in reality. I agree with another reviewer that the watch was a little confusing to setup initially and that the manual was a little confusing but eventually you will figure it out with a little patience.



Bottomline --- Watch is not perfect, it is not dive rated but is probably well suited for all other water activities. Packs plenty of high-tech features in a classic appearance. If you like the dive watch style but don't want the clunkiness of a dive watch, this is it. Casio reliability and quality is legendary.

 "New Casio Waveceptor model WVA320J-1E" 2010-02-11
By Stephen L. Schafer
I just received this watch form Amazon.com,

When I took it out of the package, Just followed the setup directions

in the owners manual, and it was easy. I found the directions clear and easy to

follow. The watch is large but not too heavy. It is solar powered and uses the

waveceptor technology to keep accurate Time. So far I am very impressed. It was on

Sale at amazon.com for $120.00. great price. Fast delivery, great service Amazon

 "Nice watch - poor manual" 2009-10-26
By
I just purchased this watch at Sears. This is my first Atomic watch as I wanted a watch that I could travel with and have it take care of keeping accurate time and adjusting to the local time zone. The luminous dial is bright and the night light works very well.



This is not my first Casio so I was surprised to find how poorly the owners manual was written. I had to do trial and error just to figure out how to adjust the watch. Simple things such as setting the main time as well as the 2nd time zone were not clearly described in the owners manual. I found the manual referencing a model of watch different than the one I purchases yet the manual has the correct watch model number on it.



With regards to the quality of the watch I find it to be equivalent to the Citizen EcoDrive watches that I own. If the manual was better I would give the watch 5 stars.
