Set a course for adventure every day you wear this Casio Pathfinder Triple Sensor men's digital watch (model PAG40-3V), which includes a built-in digital compass, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. The digital compass displays 16 directions and has a 5-set memory capacity that captures direction, month, date, and measurements time data. The altimeter measures up to 32,800 feet (10,000 meters) in 20-foot (5-meter) increments, and it can store 50 sets of altitude memory with date and temperature. It also provides a target altitude alarm and graphing capability for target and altitude tendency.
This large, round watch features a gray/green resin case that's topped by a black bidirectional bezel with compass markings. It offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity and elapsed time, split time, and 1st/2nd place time modes. It also includes a daily alarm, optional hourly time signal, and 12/24-hour formats. Other features include a comfortable resin strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

I love this watch and never travel without it. I followed the instructions in the manual and use the thermometer a lot. To get an accurate ambient air temp reading I just take off the watch and wait about 8 minutes in the shade. You can also calibrate the thermometer and found the factory setting to be dead accurate! I discovered that if you read the temp while wearing this watch it will read your skin temp and have found this to be very helpful in monitoring my skin temp. Anything less than a 83 degrees means I am starting to get uncomfortably cold and need to warm up. 86 degrees skin temp is perfect for me. Knowing this allows me to tell if I have a fever or just over worked etc.
I use the altimeter alarm function when I fly to alert me of a faulty cabin pressure system during my commercial flights. I set my PAG 40 alarm to 8000 which is the maximum altitude pressure allowed in passenger cabins set by the FAA. If the cabin pressurization goes above 8000 ft the alarm will sound on the PAG 40. There is a graph at the top of the screen to check your altitude history. The graph is also used for tracking barometer history.
I calibrate my altimeter daily to get an accurate reading since the barameter will change by the hour.
The compass feature is great and you can also calibrate that too. I find the compass usefull at night and on heavy overcast days.
You get 5 seperate alarms and a short alarm for the top of each hour. All the alarms can be turned off or on seperately.
The stopwatch function does split times and single timing. It will not do laptimes for example timing laps at a race on after the other.
It runs on 4 batteries part# 395. Which I was able to change them myself.
Watch speed calibration was also accessible!
The display is large and easy to read.
I have owned my Casio PAG 40 for two years now.
The watch band has held just great so far and the watch is free of defects.
I plan to buy two more of these watches.

The PAG 40 is an older model in the Casio Pathfinder series. It does not have some of the features of the newer models. However, it does have one of the best displays of the entire series. It also has a "rugged" look to the watch which I and many find appealing. It isn't an atomic model, but it keeps very good time. The "abc" features of the watch are not always precisely accurate, but close enough for the average person's needs. I tend to use the barometer and I like the 24 hr graph to show the barometic tendency. I have several different Pathfinder models and this older model remains one of my favorites. The only "negative" would be that a battery change involves getting 4 new batteries.
Great Solid performance from casio

Have had this Pathfinder for about a year. It keeps great time and is very solid and waterproof. The altitude is very accurate when compared to my GPS altimiter. Temperature is very accurate also. Backlight is very nice too.
Great Watch!

Reviewer: A. Dauby,
I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. He absolutely LOVES it! He used it all through Army Ranger school and all his classmates wanted one too. He likes all the features, the stopwatch, barometer, altimeter, etc. It has held up for over two years during some really rigorous outdoor training and is still running great and looks great. I would recommend it for anyone, especially someone who likes to use all the bells and whistles it comes with.
GREAT WATCH

I AM A SKYDIVER, AND WAS LOOKING FOR A GOOD WATCH WITH LARGE ENOUGH DISPLAY WITH A BACK LIGHT MECHANISM SO I CAN VISUALIZE THE NUMBERS WITHOUT USING MY GLASSES, & THIS ONE WORKS OUT GREAT; THEN I DECIDED TO COMPARE THE ALTIMETER PORTION AGAINST THE PROFESSIONAL ALTIMETER; TURNS OUT ACCRUATE READINGS TO THE "T". I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CASIO SEEMS TO WANT TO DEFLECT ANYONE FROM USING IT FOR SKYDIVING ( THIS IS WITH 3 TESTS AT DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, DAYS & TIME).
FOR $130.00 NO ONE SHOULD COMPLAIN. IT CARRIES ACCRUATE TIME ALSO. THE ALTIMETER WORKS VERY PRECISE.
MY ONLY CONCERN IS DURABILITY. LET'S SEE HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. I HAD A SEIKO WATCH THAT LASTED 25 YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE PROBLEM, OR LOSING 1 SECOND OF TIME.
