I have a Casio Men's PAW2000-1CR Pathfinder for several months and I would like to tell about some of its advantages and shortcomings.

I wanted to purchase a quality watch that will last at least for 5-6 years and that will be easy to back up. I hesitated for some time because the wealth of types and models can make the choice really difficult. I found out a lot about solar-powered watches and I wanted to get one.

Solar watches have solar cells and work with free energy from the sun or some artificial source of light. When well charged, their secondary battery can work a long time without light. Moreover you don't need to replace the battery and thus you help in preserving the environment.

Why to purchase a Casio wristwatch? There are many more inexpensive solar watches from obscure producers but I was looking not only for a pretty and useful watch but I needed a guarantee for quality. Therefore I decided to purchase a watch from a famous company in the branch. I selected Casio Men's PAW2000-1CR Pathfinder and I don't regret it. The watch looks pretty, it's comfortable and easy to maintain.

The first and fundamental thing I want from a watch is precision. Casio watches for men get radio waves from the atomic clocks in institutes in US, UK, Germany, Japan and China. I travel much and now my watch will automatically check the time for me. I'm sure that wherever I go, the displayed time will be always correct. Even without signal adjustment the error is lesser than -/+ 20 seconds monthly and I'm happy that I'll never need to correct the time.

Casio Men's PAW2000-1CR Pathfinder is a pretty sporty casual watch. I like its thin and elegant design. It looks fine on the wrist and moreover it's lighter than I expected. At the same time I know that this is a solid watch and it can face different challenges. Casio solar watches are water, low temperature and shock-resistant so you can use them all the time.

This particular wristwatch is great for sports like jogging, hunting, hiking, fishing, etc. The watch has many functions (compass, altimeter, thermometer, calendar, timers, and alarms) and the majority of them operate really well. The compass is accurate for orientation and the barometer forecasts weather changes. I must admit that the altimeter is not always correct but nevertheless it may be used for orientation.

I want to mention two trivial drawbacks. The first one is the alarm - it's almost noiseless and I can't always become awar of it, particularly in a busy street. The second one is the thermometer that doesn't operate well when the watch is on the wrist. If you want to get the right temperature, you must take it off and leave it for several minutes.

In summary: I highly recommend Casio Men's PAW2000-1CR Pathfinder if you're looking for a useful multifunctional watch for sports and travels. This solar watch is pretty and handy and has many useful functions for outdoor activities.
