The watch displays moon and tide graphs, it has a very good compass, altimeter, thermometer, barometer, world time, stop watch, countdown timer, five alarms, hourly chime and many more features are in built in the watch. Normally Casio watches have good water resistance, and this watch is also water resistant up to 200 meters. This watch simply has it all you would ever want to have in your wrist watch. Radio atomic timekeeping is an added advantage, which keeps the time in this watch accurate to division of seconds.

If you are wondering what atomic time watches are, then these are the watches in which you don't need to adjust the time. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) has come out with extremely accurate & precise hydrogen and cesium atom clocks, which are called atomic watches. The exorbitant annotations from the United States naval observatory plays a key role in keeping atomic clocks in synchronization with the actual rotation of the earth and earth's course around the sun. The consequential time information is then broadcasted via short radio waves from a station. The atomic watches catches the broadcasted signal from these towers and automatically adjusts the time in your watch. As long as your watch is getting the signals, it will be highly accurate to fraction of seconds.  So all you have to do is just keep your watch close to the window every night and your watch will be in sync with those atomic watches.

Initially you need to calibrate the watch with the actual observed conditions, once it is calibrated it will display very accurate measurements. Casio watches are generally very durable, so normally you should not experience any trouble with any of the functions. However the barometer only measures in the increments of 0.05 inches, which is generally good enough but some times misleading. The altimeter on the other hand measures in increments of 5 meters ranging from -700 meters to 10,000 meters, and it can save data for altitude, date time and month. Not only this, it can also provide you differential graphs, and it can set a crucial alarm when you reach to a specified altitude position.

However, if you are one of those fashion conscious guys, then you should try this Casio watch on your wrist before buying it. The watch is little bigger and it may not fit well if you got a very small wrist. Another downbeat aspect of this watch is its plastic resin band. Since it's plastic you may feel little uncomfortable after wearing the watch for sometime. 

Overall, the Casio pathfinder PAW1500-1V is so far the best watch in the Pathfinder series from Casio watches. The pathfinder series is known for carrying top outdoor watches and this watch does not disappoint you there. So before you step outside next time, think about buying this watch.
