For those who like the look of a traditional watch – and there are a few of those people out there – yet want a timepiece that does more than just tell time, the Casio Pathfinder PAW5000-1 could be one to consider. It features an integrated digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer, along with Tough Movement, which means that it checks and corrects the hand positioning (if necessary) at the 55 minute mark of the hour.
The Pathfinder is solar powered, offers multi-band 6 atomic timekeeping (US, UK, Germany, Japan and China) – and receives time calibration radio signals up to five a day. The built-in digital compass can measure and display direction as one of 16 points. It is water resistant to 100M and offers world time with 29 time zones. And while acting as a timepiece it can display the time in analog and digital formats.
It is thus a tough watch that can help wearer’s find their way while out in the wilds – and it provides style for those times when the user just wishes they’d be in the wilds.
While there is no shortage of digital sports watches available, some people still like a precision time piece. But the only downside is that many of those don’t stand up to the rigors of the rugged lifestyle. So if you’re adventures take you off the beaten path and you want a stylish watch, consider the Casio G-Shock GA11GB-1A Limited Edition (MSRP $179).
