When you click the dedicated barometer button, it quickly takes a reading of the pressure (takes a couple of seconds) and then the pressure AND temperature are displayed. If the pressure is going up, the weather is stabilizing and potentially getting better, if it is dropping, be prepared for weather changes. That means that you can quickly and easily see trends in the pressure reading. It measures the pressure automatically, every 2 hours, and you see the last 24 hours on the graph. And that is probably because it is currently the rainy season.With the Pathfinder, you can track the rise and fall of barometric pressure in real-time, and there is a chart that you can activate on the watch’s home screen to track the pressure trends. Probably my favorite feature about the Pathfinder is the Barometer. Full Auto Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099).31 times zones (48 cities), city code display, daylight saving on/off.Others: Reference altitude setting, Altitude graph, Altitude differentialĭisplay range: 260 to 1,100 hPa (7.65 to 32.45 inHg)Ītmospheric pressure differential graphicĭisplays sunrise time and sunset time for a specific date, Daylight pointers Manual memory measurements (up to 25 records, each including altitude, date, time)Īuto memory measurements (High altitude, Low altitude memory, Total ascent, Total descent) Digital Compass Measures and displays direction as one of 16 points.Sunrise & Sunset data – you can find out when the sun rises/sets in any calendar day in any of the configured cities.“Tough” Solar Power – meaning that you watch will not fall apart if you aren’t exactly gentle with it.The items I mentioned above (Barometer, Altimeter, Thermometer, Temperature).Here are some of the features that the Pathfinder includes: But if you want to dive into any of the additional features, be sure to throw the manual in your pocket before you go. Once you set the City and the time and date, you can pretty much head out the door with a working watch. This helps set the watch to know the Sunrise/Sunset function as well as the offset from UTC (Greenwich, England). For starters, you need to set your Home City (including its latitude/longitude). I recommend reading through the manual prior to rushing out the door with your watch on because the Pathfinder is packed with features and configurations you should know about. Of course, nowadays, you can download them but still, they are handy to have. I held on to my previous G-Shock manual and I very much recommend that you always keep these manuals around as they are very helpful. The Pathfinder comes with a pretty thick small manual. Sunlight charges the battery faster but it can charge on standard inside lighting. But similar to my previous watch, the Pathfinder is solar powered, meaning that its internal battery is charged every time it comes into contact with light. Those items alone would be enough to make an outdoorsy person quite happy. And it has to because it actually houses quite a bit of measurement capacity. The Pathfinder is probably has one of the larger faces/body in their collection. I have always liked watches that were big. That is when I received the Casio Pathfinder (model PAG240). I slept and showered with it on and pretty much never took it off. It really never needed to because it was solar power (no battery replacement), atomic (automatically set the time every morning), and rugged and waterproof (to 100 meters). My previous watch, a Casio Atomic G-Shock pretty much never came off of my wrist. I guess I’m pretty familiar with the techy-er Casio watches. Over the past 15 years, I have had G-Shocks, Waveceptors, Atomic G-Shocks and now a Solar Pathfinder.
