Review by X. Liu : no glow in the dark

The spec says ‘LED with afterglow’, but I can’t really see any ‘glowing’ in dark, not at all whatsoever. This totally defied the claimed purpose of this watch. The LED, on the other hand, is blindingly bright. In the end, it practically rendered this useless for serious use; in other words, a toy.

The designer seems disoriented as to what this watch was about. Maybe he was thinking of a dress watch, maybe it’s a she.

Aside being a toy, it looks well as a toy in my collection of Casio watches. That is, had I not already having other functioning g-shocks, I would have returned this one.

Review by Eric Shuler : Casio Pathfinder 5000-1

Casio

I was intrigued by a new watch by Casio the Pathfinder 5000-1.
My disclaimer I used a Casio G-Shock Watch while stationed with the Army in Iraq. The watch held up to harsh conditions. My only concern was if the watch batteries die I will be without a watch. Casio has taken away that worry with what they call Tough Solar. You do not have to worry about batteries anymore.

Pathfinder 5000-1 has a analog face and along with a digital readout, It packs a lot of technology in a small package. Features such as timer, alarm, stop watch mode are standard on most watches but the Pathfinder 5000-1 has much more. It is a rugged but sharp looking watch which gets the time by Atomic Clock and has a daylight saving time override. The watch has a built in compass, attitude, and barometer. There are three buttons on the side that have those functions. I never get tired of holding the compass button down and watching the second hand point to North. The digital readout has an arrow and tell you the direction you are facing. The barometer is quite useful in seeing if the weather is going to change. The watch module is very fast and you can easily switch modes. The light button is a white light so you can see your watch face at night.
The Pathfinder 5000-1 is Casio is top of the line Pathfinder watch. It is a not a small watch but then again it is packed with a lot of features. This watch you can wear out to dinner or take out on combat mission. It is light and has a rubber watch band which will last the user a long time and is easy to clean.
It cost more than the other Pathfinder watches. But the old saying is you get watch you pay for holds true with this watch. The watch retails for $ 550.00 .
