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.

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 Watch!

| 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. |
Frustrating Altimeter Function, all else is ok

The big thing this watch is missing is customer support. I have replaced this watch twice, and called customer service numberous times only to find the reps as baffled as me as to why this watch gives readings of -20ft, then +80ft, and now 300Ft for the same location. I have read every word, sentence period, comma and page number of the owners manual, I have even tried to read the languages other than English because English doesn't seem to make any sense. Still I get nothing. I've tried night after night in bed with my reading glasses on while my wife looks on and says, "haven't you figured that thing out yet?" No, I reply. I haven't. I'm a tech guy. 5 years of heavy electronics, hold patents, have built everything short of a submarine in my shop and have put more gadgets in play than Rube Goldberg and I can't figure this out.
Casio customer service reps are nice but tell you that you have to speak to one of only 2 watch guys in order to ask questions and they can't be called, they have to call you. And they can't tell you when they will. Well, for one, they never do, and for two, I don't believe they exist, or they quit out of frustration.
Casio used to have a great reputation for their watches, now they leave it up to web pages and FAQ's to take care of that. Sort of like ATM's were going to do without tellers so we would save money and frustration. Well, I'll give the banks a half an "atta-boy" for the ATM, but Casio should not just be ashamed of themselves, they should all be put in a big hot air balloon with only their stinking pathfinder to guide them. Then let's see how fast they make changes.

| 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. |
