I have wanted to get this watch for years, but could never justify the $250-$300 price tags I was seeing on it. Amazon had it for the right price and I jumped on the chance to get one. I waited for four days until it arrived and felt like a kid on the night before Christmas. UPS finally delivered it and I couldn't open it fast enough. This is a great watch, looks good, functions great, not as complicated as other users stated (just RTFM). The only downside I have found so far is that the compass doesn't sit still when you are trying to shoot an azimuth. I did buy this watch mainly for the looks and the barometer so it still gets 5 stars from me. I only need a compass for general direction anyways. If ever I get to backpacking again I will carry and use a real compass anyways. I would buy this watch again as long as Amazon had it at the same price or less.
A year and a half later... I still wear this watch almost every single day. I am a firefighter/emt, so you can imagine that I am pretty hard on this watch. The band is showing some wear on the finish from me constantly bumping it on things, but still remains structurally sound. The compass never settled down, but still gives me general directions just fine. One thing I've found that I don't like is that the light doesn't stay on long enough (3 seconds) for me to get a compass reading or count out a pulse at night. I don't like having to push the light button while wearing exam gloves that could be contaminated with God knows what. It would be better with some sort of automatic light feature that could be turned on and off. Also the right side buttons are sometimes too big and get activated and I have to cycle back to the time.
Other than that, I still get a lot of complements on my pathfinder and it hasn't lost any time or have I had to make any other adjustments to it. This thing was built like a tank, I wore it into a fire just yesterday and the thing just keeps on going. I'll probably keep on wearing this thing until I get buried with it, or Casio comes out with one that looks the exact same and has a better lighting feature (holding breath... not). I will never need the compass to be exact, I just need to know which direction I am facing for the most part. All that being said, this IS a tool that I use every single day especially when I'm on shift and it hasn't failed me yet.

The one MUST HAVE watch.
Let me start by saying that this is my second PAG240. The first one I got was about seven years back - while that still works great but is a little worn out. Ok, here are some of the cool things about this watch* The Barometer is phenomenal.We were once at a golf course in the middle of the 10th hole when clouds started rolling in. The smartphone said it was going to rain. But, then I noticed one bar on my watch go UP, I told everyone it will not rain here. And, sure enough it did not rain in the golf course! You can predict the weather with great accuracy once you get the hang on the dots/barometer.* Unlike your smartwatch, you will never have to worry about battery.* You can set the florescent light to 1 second or 3 seconds to see in the dark* You can set up to five alarms.* World time feature has 48 cities AND the cool thing is that your home city time is also visible at the bottom. Great feature when you are traveling and flying.* Accurate Sunrise and Sunset time is also available and it changes by each day depending where you are. Awesome for planning photoshoots and video shoots (golden hour).* Temperature is accurate if you leave your watch sitting for 5 mins (and not wear it).* Altitude feature is available but I have never used it.* The LCD compasses readout is accurate and can be used for a variety of purposes.Even though I got a smartwatch and smartphone etc this watch is the ONLY Casio you will ever need. It's simply the most complete watch you can buy without ever stressing out about charging your watch and/or getting water spilled on it. Once you unlock the features based on your lifestyle you will never part with this watch.To my PAG240 brotherhood - cheers!
