Amazon.com Product Description
The Casio Men's Pathfinder Ana-Digi Hunting Timer Camouflage Sports Watch includes a unique compass function, making it the perfect accessory for hikers and hunters. Constructed with a stainless steel case, the watch includes a stationary stainless steel bezel, and a brown nylon-and-leather wristband with an adjustable buckle clasp for the perfect fit. A durable mineral window shields the black and digital-gray dial face, which features Arabic numeral hour indexes at three, nine, and 12 o'clock, and a digital time display at the six o'clock position. The digital display shows the time, as well as a perpetual calendar. Silver-tone cardinal directions ring the bezel, while intermediate directions encircle the dial in red for precise orientation. This quartz-powered timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet and is backed by a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Development of the Timepiece Business
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, "What is a wristwatch?" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

Customer Reviews

good solid watch with some look adjustements neede
I got it from Amazon very fast (faster than I estimated - thanks)being really pleased at seeing it first time out of the box. Indeed is a heavy watch (cannot be forgotten, it,s absence will be noticed :) ) but should be considered that is fully stainless steel case and mineral glass not plastic. Till now works very well, even say "hunt" :)) , seriously is a strong and precise watch.
What I don't like: orange display light and camouflage belt. Would have been great a solid black leather belt, considering that the display colour is black, but this can be fixed later.
Anyway, if you need a solid and precise watch go fo it.
I forgot about battery life, is specified 10 years, now I have to wait and see... :))

Very Sharp Looking Watch
I would give it a 5 but not to crazy about the camouflage band, but it is a hunting watch, went to a store and bought a new band (black). ...Other than that, its a good watch, I use the digital time as a dual time and it also has a dual time that I use for a different city.

casio hunting sport watch
Good watch for the money. Lightweight and nice looking with quartz accuracy. Kind of a pain to change time, but easy to adjust to. Easy to read and versatile. Wanted an inexpensive watch to wear in the field, so I didn't bang up my more expensive automatics. Good purchase.
