 Well done January 3, 2009
Hats off to Casio on this one! Automatic time updates reliably every morning, compass is accurate and easy to use, barometric pressure is precise to .05" Hg. The solar-recharge battery works as advertised, needing only a few minutes or so of direct sunlight every couple of days to remain at high charge level. Reasonably sized and lighter than expected. A lot of watch for the money.
Great watch, lightweight and durable December 29, 2008
I bought this watch as a gift for my bf. he loves the watch as its handy for so many reasons, and it completely brings out the geek in him. We've relied on it multiple times as a compass to get us headed in the right direction when we are lost. He also uses the timer a lot when he is cooking to make sure he doesn't burn anything. Also when we travel, its easy to adjust to the local timezone as the main time, but still have our hometown timezone listed on the bottom. Its also waterproof and extremely light weight. when he lifts his arm the LED light turns on automatically, making checking time in the dark fantastically easy.
if you man doesn't like to wear jewelry but you want to buy him something anyway, this is a great solution. Its utility also.
Superb durability, functionality, and design. Great watch! December 23, 2008

I originally bought the thicker version of this watch and eventually returned it. I was so thankful when Casio developed the "thin" version that I ordered it as soon as it became available.
I've been wearing this watch daily for over 1.5 years at the time of this review. It's a gem of a watch. I have several options available including a couple of Seiko's I like to wear. Except in very formal attire (weddings, anniversary dinner, & etc.), I opt for the PAW1300T-7V, even when nicely dressed for work. Though YMMV. I know I looked at Suunto's and the older Casio Pathfinders, including the ones with tides. I live nowhere near the water, so I wouldn't get a lot of use out of that, but that's literally about the only function I can think of that this thing doesn't have.
The titanium band helps this watch feel exceptionally light considering all of its functions. The Barometer is fairly accurate even without calibrating, the digital compass is quite good, even when using it indoors. The thermometer is accurate, but needs to be removed from your arm for at least 10-15 min. for it to pickup room temperature. No big deal and if you are climbing or hiking, you probably already have another compass with you.
I bought this watch because I wanted as much functionality with my Every Day Carry as I could get, I liked the design, and the solar power along with Atomic time made this in a class by itself. I'm really surprised that a competitor hasn't brought out something comparable, as this watch is very popular and gets rave reviews on many equipment/outdoors forums.
I bang this watch into everything and it sees a lot of action, but the band has withstood it all as has the faceplate. Other than minor scuffing and some tiny dents, it looks pretty new. I have yet to see the battery move off of the high charge indicator - not even to Medium. If you use the tip function to auto-light the face, it may wear it down, but I have used the light plenty without it draining much. It's about as accurate as it gets with the Naval Observatory Atomic time synchronization, and even if you happen to be somewhere you can't get signal it keeps excellent time. I find the dual timezones very useful for travel or when working with teammates overseas. One feature I found to be very useful is the barometric readout over time (graph) which really does help you note when the weather is about to turn. It's like having your own personal weather station.
This thing has nearly everything you could want in a watch with no compromises on design, price, or quality. Casio truly delivered with this watch. This watch replaces a lot of equipment (much of which you probably wouldn't carry all at once!) Couple this with a GPS and a backup Silva compass and you are set.
Pros:
1. Excellent Design and Quality craftsmanship
2. Light Titanium frame - much lighter than even some of my thin stainless watches. The band clasp has a nice safety in case you snag it on something. You have to squeeze the sides in to release it.
3. The functions are really endless. Except for tides, this thing has the kitchen sink. Barometer, Thermometer, Compass, Altimeter. World time, multi-function Stop-watch, Timer (countdown), multiple alarms, bright blue-glo backlight, solar-powered... the list is amazing, and they all function very well. No compromises on ease of use or capability here.
4. For all the features, this thing is a miracle of modern technology. The fact that they made this fit in a watch half the thickness of it's predecessor and MUCH thinner than any of it's competition says it all.
5. Tough as nails. I've been swimming many times, including salt-water. I've done heavy construction with it on, banged it against numerous surfaces and dropped it more times than I can count.
Cons:
I seriously have to think to come up with any detraction. I really can't come up with any Cons. I think that might be a first.
Wishlist for next version:
1. Tides (hey, why not throw in the kitchen sink)
2. Luminous hands/dials incorporated so you can check the time without using the backlight.
3. make the solar array a bit smaller in diameter to give more surface area to the face.
4. Calculator? ;-)
Seriously, sometime in the future a version will have like 100GB storage, USB uplink, and probably will be an MP3 player and get RSS/Atom feeds over the air. But for now, this thing is top notch equipment at a VERY reasonable price (especially on Amazon). I was happy to spend less, get more functionality in a thin light design compared to it's closest competition.
Top Rate December 16, 2008
High satisfaction with the quality and durability of two previous Casio digital watches was influential in my purchase. Everything about the watch exudes quality, including the feel and operation of the titanium link band. The watch is attractively designed and the main functions are easy to operate. The large main digital readout is a plus. Regarding the features, any expectations on the accuracy of the altitude reading should account for the fact that it is a function of barometric pressure and therefore subject to variation. Some instructions on how to remove links in the band would also have been useful - in the event I was able to get enough information on similar bands from the internet to enable me to shorten the band myself. Overall, this is an excellent watch with which I am extremely happy. Purchasing through Amazon.com was smooth and efficient.
Good for trekkers December 15, 2008
This is a good watch if you are the type who is interested in trekking. The watch is slim compared to what is appears on the images in the internet. I have just had this for watch for over a month now so its probably too early to comment on durability but looking at the reviews I guess that should not be a problem.
