Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Multi-Function Sport Watch

Product Information

This is probably one of the most important aspect, and it’s why you won’t want to use the compass app on your smartphone. Having a battery that can last throughout your entire outdoor adventure at least is important, which is why you should be careful in selecting the type of compass watch to get. One of the most remarkable features of the Casio Pathfinder is its solar power capability. This watch is able to power itself using the thin strap of solar cells scattered around the outside of the watch’s screen. You do not have to worry about changing the batteries from time to time since this Pathfinder piece can run by itself using solar power. When fully charged, it can last up to a whopping six months. Triple-Sensor Function Given that the Casio Pathfinder is designed for outdoor activities, then it is only natural that it is equipped with some level of water resistance. The Casio Pathfinder has a substantial 100-metre water-resistance rating. As such, it is able to withstand some splashes and even a swim in the pool. However, since it is not a dedicated diver piece, this is not the greatest option for scuba diving or sea walking. Price New variants consist of environmentally friendly and carbon fiber-reinforced eco resins to reduce the ecological footprint. Casio-typical high-tech products with an organic watch band as well as a bezel, base and case made of sustainably produced resin are trend-setting for the future of our environment. Casio Leather and Textile Watch Bands Before buying the first compass watch that looks good enough, it would be a good idea to know what to look for in a compass watch, as not all of them are similar. Analog vs. Digital

Sure, it doesn’t have barometer-altimeter, and temperature sensors, but if you only need a compass, it’s the best option out there. The Casio Pathfinder is a great outdoor watch that is simply built to last. That said, it is also not necessarily to everyone’s tastes. Maybe you don’t like its rugged build, or you find its size too big and cumbersome. If so, you have nothing to fear! Here are three of the best alternatives to the Casio Pathfinder which you can find in the market today. 1. Suunto 9 Baro Titanium Ref. SS050149000 But as we mentioned, the design is much more down to Earth, and despite the large case, it’s not bulky. Sure, the dial is crowded still, but it’s also full of features, so no complaints here. Therefore, the watch is made to handle extreme conditions, so any outdoorsman will find this a very good option. Among all its functions, the most important one is the compass, but it also has a GPS for even better navigation cues. The compass function comes with the possibility to adjust the magnetic declination, which is really handy to serious outdoor enthusiasts. Other than that, expect all the usual functions, plus the twin sensor, world time in 31 timezones, and a solar powered movement.Right off the bat, the Casio Pathfinder PAG240-1 is a top-notch timepiece that is designed for individuals who lead an active lifestyle. The design of this watch may look pretty complex at first, especially with all of its buttons, but it is actually very easy to use, even for first-timers. This is because the functions on the Casio Pathfinder are all carefully labelled, so you will not get confused while navigating this multifunctional watch.

This timepiece comes with a built-in compass and combines both the digital and analog displays in its dial. It’s got a twin sensor, which means you get the compass and a thermometer, as opposed to the triple sensor which also gives you the air pressure sensor, so altimeter and barometer functions as well. But you still get a lot of functionality at a very low price.The altimeter memory will hold up to 40 records of altitude, date, month and time (Suunto models hold 100 logs). Barometer But for the money, you’ll get an excellent build quality, high-end features, and a solar powered movement, so you won’t have to worry about battery life, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Both the Pathfinder PAG240-1 and the PAG240T-7 models measure altitude in 20-foot or 5-meter increments. We found it to be relatively accurate compared to other barometrically based altimeters. It scored well in our tests but not as high as the Suunto Core, which is accurate to one meter. A feature the Core also has on the Pathfinder is the ability to differentiate between barometric pressure changes from weather and changes from gaining or losing elevation. This version also possesses all the common features mentioned above, but what makes them stand out are the It is armed with a titanium band and a duplex LCD display for enhanced readability. And also the Casio’s Version 3 Triple Sensor (next-generation). All the features found in this timepiece makes it an excellent choice for every passionate outdoor sports person.

A compass watch fulfills both the role of a watch and that of a compass. As you’ll see, most compass watches are actually multi-tool watches, often coming with sensors for temperature and pressure, so they’ll give you both the barometric pressure and the altitude, plus the usual functions such as alarms, calendars, or even heart rate monitoring. It is armed with an STN LCD display, Triple Sensor version 3 engine, radiant markers and hands, stainless steel bezel and dual LED lights. Band made of Dura Soft silicone for maximum comfort. The water-resistant is 100 meters. Mass of 78 grams and dimension of 51.6 x 51.5 x 13.4 mm. No multi Band 6. The Casio Pro Trek Pathfinder watch has a full digital display with a duplex LCD. It comes with two different layers so that it can display more than a single function at a time. With its large text, the dial is clear and straightforward, which makes it easier to read the time even during outdoor adventures. The Casio Pathfinder is also equipped with a layer of scratch-resistant mineral glass for optimal protection. Rarer, but still available in some watches are sunrise and sunset data, and even tide data, useful for water sports or fishing. Battery Life So no, this is not a compass watch per se, but it looks so good and comes with plenty of convenient features for the outdoors that we decided to include it. There’s 100 meters of water resistance, and a chronograph that can measure up to 60 minutes, and also offers split time measurement.The thermometer only goes from 14F to 140F; we wished it would go down a little lower. Both the Vector and the Core went -5F to 140F. As with all the watches we tested, you can't use the thermometer while it is on your wrist. Ease of Use and Interface Possible downsides are the 5 year battery life, and only 100 meters of water resistance, but it’s more than enough for an affordable compass watch. So, basically, a compass watch is a watch that has a compass function incorporated in it. Things to Look For in a Compass Watch Suunto Core Outdoor Watch
