For the serious adventurer the Pathfinder is a new analog digital rugged watch that features direction (compass), barometric pressure, temperature and altitude sensors.
The Casio Pathfinder PAW-5000 has an easy-to-read analog format for indicating values of the sensors. The second hand of the watch can indicate direction, altitude differential, or barometric pressure and the digital display shows the sensor data as numeric values.
When you are ready to measure altitude just hit the altitude mode button and it will perform consistent measurements at 5-second cycles for three minutes. After the three minutes it will measure at a pre determined interval that you the user has set up.
The triple sensor Casio Pathfinder PAW-5000 is the premium technical outdoor watch with advanced function and ease of use.
