Casio Pathfinder PAW1500Y-1 by Christopher J. Travale
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.
