Born from a dream of "creating a watch that never breaks." It was over 30 years ago, a CASIO engineer won the battle against the laws of nature. He designed a watch that would resist centrifugal and impact forces, as well as high water pressure. Since then, the name G-SHOCK has become a byword for independence and pushing the limits. G-SHOCK watches are the most durable digital and analog-digital watches in the industry, trusted by military personnel, law enforcement, surfers and outdoor enthusiasts around the world. Along with this, G-SHOCK is highly touted in the fashion world, worn by icons in hip-hop, sports, and design. With limited edition collaborations being released often, you can always find a G-SHOCK that matches your personality and style.

Bottom Line: Great digital multi-function watch for non-professional use.
UPDATE 10/5/16: Do yourself a favor and convert the strap to a NATO, which is 100% more comfortable. Once I switched out the resign strap, I couldn't believe the difference. Call either PacParts on the west coast or American Perfit on the east coast (both authorized Casio parts dealers). What you want to buy are the following two end pieces:-Part Number 10310531 - Cover/End Piece B08008-Part Number 10320753 - Cover/End Piece C14141If they don't have it in stock they will still take the order and send it out once the parts come in (which is when you will receive a confirmation email for the charge). As of July 5th, 2016, the total cost for both part from American Perfit was $11.95...much cheaper than buying it anywhere else. I'll try to add updated pictures later.Bottom Line: Great digital multi-function watch for non-professional use.Traditionally, I’m an automatic analog watch type of guy. My first dive into digital watches was the Casio G-Shock GA100-1A1 (pictured below for comparison purposes). I thought it looked cool online but when I received it I realized that it had minimum functionality (when compared to Casio Pathfinder/Protrek watches) which is something the tinkerer in me craved. I concluded that it put fashion before function and I became immediately turned off.Enter the Casio Pathfinder PAG240-1. This watch ticks all the checkboxes I wanted; easy to read, great illumination, multifunction (compass, barometer, attitude, etc), SOLAR and it looked utilitarian. Keep in mind that some of the features are to be used for non-professional use. I'll start off with the compass. This works just like any other digital compass and is pretty accurate once calibrated. It will get you out of a sticky situation no doubt. The temperature gauge is pretty accurate but keep in mind your body heat will add 10 degrees or more so it’s best to have the watch off your body at least 20 minutes before getting an accurate temperature reading. The Barometer and Altimeter work but they require semi-regular calibration to work well. The altimeter on the watch is tied to the barometer and uses some complex algorithms to compute altitude but it can be calibrated separate of the barometer. The PAG240 is the lightest that I own between all my automatic and quartz watches and it’s pretty comfortable to wear. Allow a few days for the resin strap to break inAll in all, great digital multi-function watch.

5 years and still going
I bought this product for ranger school 5 years ago and I am still using this watch. I have used this watch in the desert, extreme cold, high mountains and have banged the product really hard on all kinds of surfaces and the watch is functioning like it did when I first bought it. The compass feature is very handy and provides awareness on the general direction of travel, although I never used it to truly navigate from one location to another by using magnetic azimuth on the device. Barometric pressure is measured in HPA and is close to accurate, but I always check if the watch baro pressure is similar to what the weather app states and adjust as necessary to be sure information is accurate every time I travel to a different location. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this watch and would buy it again without hesitation if I needed another, but I don't think I will because the one I bought is still going strong!

Good watch and holds up well
Good watch and holds up well. I am in the military and I put the watch through ton of stress and some pretty harsh conditions.Pros: The watch does a lot, altimeter/baro, built in compass face different time zones, multiple stopwatches and timers. The battery hardly ever gets used if you use the solar power feature.Cons- The compass rotating dial gets a lot of dirt in it and will stop rotating. The compass requires exact calibration with magnetic deviation that can be a little difficult to understand. Way to big to fit easily in a gloves. The buttons on the side are not super easy to use when your hands are gloved either.On a side note I did have to get the front buttons replaced because of damage. Sent it away to Casio and it was promptly replaces. Pretty decent customer service with a nice acceptance that I needed a new watch.

Great features, high tech, hard to set up and use
A lot more features than we even expected. My tech mad husband is delighted with this watch but, it is difficult to set up. We’ve been to sea level several times and set the altitude but it keeps setting itself back to what it deduces it is. The instructions use terminology unfamiliar to a first time buyer of this type of product. You do need a high level of intelligence and tech savvy to set this watch up to function for you. The instruction booklet is tiny and difficult to read. Handy to put in your pocket but hard to see.

Compliments not a replacement for good hiking equipment.
I love this watch. I love hiking orienteering etc. Wish I had had this when I was younger. This watch doesn't take the place of a good compass. And several functions are easy to find on a phone. For me the watch compliments my outdoor enjoyment. When walking there are lots of occasions when it's nice to check still going the right way.

Ok
I am having great trouble adjusting the features, it is light and comfortable to wear compared to an earlier model I had. I like the fact that it is solar powered
