>> Casio Pathfinder PAW1500Y 1
This is my second review first for the Pathfinder series I originally had the Casio Pathfinder PAW1500 1V I lost that watch about 6 months ago I m really a fan favorite of the stealth look of some of the watches that are out on the market today I had hoped that a Pathfinder would follow suit then came along the 1500Y 1 Now I will say this much if you you re looking for a watch that is easy to see in EVERY lighting condition high low etc then this isn t the watch for you due to the negative display To have a watch with a stealth look you make some concessions one of which is a display that isn t as easy to read as a positive display That being said here are the Pro s/Con s the watch
Pro s
1 ABC watch
2 200M WR
3 5 Alarms
4 Timer
5 Auto EL can turn on with a flick of the wrist not ideal though if you re looking to save battery power
6 Moon/Tide Graph
7 Solar Powered Battery life from fully charged to empty is 5 months
8 Atomic the watch updates itself every night to ensure the correct time is shown
I like the all black look which is why I went with this watch
Con s
1 1 5 second backlight Doesn t have the updated option like some G s have now to increase the backlight time
2 Slightly heavier than it s counterparts or so it seems
3 Large watch If you have a small wrist then this will look rather large The upside though is that this is a low profile watch lower to your wrist so it evens out to a degree
Overall this watch is a nice option to have to use for a variety of different events I like the stealth negative display look If you re a fan of that look then this is the watch for you If you re not then its brothers in the 1500 series will suffice
Ps If you re looking to change the band on this type of watch lets say a NATO band do a search for PAW 1500 convertors Then once you have this you ll be able to switch it out with the band of choice
>> Too Dark to See Easily
I love Casios This one has wonderful features but the face is simply too dark The reverse LCD is not ready for prime time in my opinion Being returned for a similar Pathfinder with a lighter more readible face
