 No batteries to replace; super accurate timepiece; and I'm happy. January 19, 2008

Downsides: The watch is rather large but thinner than the Suuto I was considering. The instruction manual is small but a half inch thick! The lighted dial seems rather dim to me. At first I thought it would get brighter after it got a good charge but it's still dim.
Upside: Solar powered (no batteries!) and super accurate time piece. The Atomic Clock calibration feature works fine and automatically adjusts at midnight. This feature will work in the US, Japan, and Germany.
Note: I have the titanium band. If you adjust the band, there is a very small metal bushing inside. When you push the pin through, it will likely fall out. You must replace this bushing or the pin will not stay put. To use the thermometer, take the watch off or it will only read your body temp. While using the compass, hold it horizontally or it will be off.
I would buy this watch again.

I got this to replace my earlier solar atomic watch which had a plastic band failure. I got the ti band and had it adjusted at a local jewelery store for $8. I am very happy with it. On a recent climb to (map stated) 5964feet the casio's altimeter said 5980, without any presetting etc. Obviously the temp is an issue on your wrist, and anyone out to explore will have bruntons, silvas galore strapped to them. But navigating subways in strange cities the compass will work well enough as will the world time function. Overall just what I wanted.
Helo Pilot Loves Casio Pathfinder PAW1399T-7V - Great size and function.. September 7, 2008

I have admired the Casio altimeter/barometer/compass pathfinders for several years. But I never cared for the huge size.
I wanted their functions in a smaller, lighter watch. When Casio introduced the PAW1300T-7V, I decided I would try it as a replacement for my aging Luminox Navy Seal watch. I needed a watch that was fairly light and easily readable in the dark. The Luminox had fit that bill perfectly with the Tritum capsules on the hands at at the hour marks. But over time those capsules loose their luminosity. Also batteries have to be replaced. The prospect of a solar powered, rechargable watch that automatically corrected itself with the Atomic Clock signal was an added benefit.
I fly for an EMS helicopter service for a living. Half of my shifts are night shifts. This watch works very well for quick time checks with its auto-illumination feature. I have found if I calibrate the altimeter and barometer with local conditions that the altimeter function is very accurate, usually within 20-40 feet of the calibrated altimeters in my helicopter. I frequently check the watch against the altimeters when we are flying. Dual time zones means I can leave the secondary time zone on UTC for filing filght plans. The temperature function is not of any real value to me as it is greatly affected by body proximity. But it is accurate if the watch is removed from the body for about 30 minutes. The alarms work well but the alarm tones are too soft for my ears after flying turbine engined aircraft for almost 40 years.
So, a quick recap: Automatic self-correcting time snychronization, Solar powered/recharged, Excellent automatic self-illumiation, Accurate altimeter and compass functions when calibrated for local conditions. It smaller than previous PAW's and lighter, especially in the Titanium version. I was just thinking the other day that I have been using Casio watches for the last 30 years. (I just put a battery in one of the oldest and it still works great!) I have always liked their layout and user interface. This newest Pathfinder of mine is no exception. It is easy to use, easy to set. If you like Casios, for the money, it is hard to beat this watch, especially on Amazon!
Works very well May 29, 2008

Casio Men's Multi-Function Pathfinder Silver Watch #PAW1300T-7V
This watch is very useful for hiking and other outdoor activities. The barometer changes can show on a graph on the time display. The graph works well as an indication of coming weather changes. The altitude changes work well also and accurately (within 20 feet or so) reflect the changes for that episode. The atomic time setting has been very reliable in the mideast US. The titanium watch is smaller and much lighter than earlier versions of this watch. The clasp is a unique and much more secure design that incorporates a pin that latches behind two clips rather than the more typical friction clasp that can fail more easily over time. Once I got used to the new clasp design it is easier and quicker to take the watch off but more secure when it is on. And the solar charging is icing on the cake. I've never had problems with the charging.
Great watch so far August 25, 2008

Great watch, working well for the first month. For a multi function watch it is not too big.I like the solar charging, as I have had problems with prior watches losing their water resistance after a battery change. I love the atomic time, not so much that a timepiece needs to be that accurate, but that I don't need to reset the time ever, except with timezone changes. The automatic backlight feature works well and I like it. The altimeter is consistent, if not that accurate. I climbed Mount Elbert in CO, and after calibrating it read exactly the same at the same location on the way down as it did on the way up. It was between 100 and 200 feet off at the summit. If accuracy is needed, get a GPS watch. Compass and barometer work fine. Thermometer is pretty useless unless you strap the watch somewhere other than your wrist. I have not found the watch complicated to use, having to refer to the user manual only 2 or 3 times. I am happy with the titanium band, although it would have been easier to adjust with a tool designed for metal band adjustment. If one isn't handy with tools, get the special tool, or take it to jeweler to get it adjusted. I am looking forward to a band that should last forever, as resin bands on previous watches always harden, crack and break over time, usually 1- 2 years. I would recommend this watch.
