I had no issues with the add-on. It was seamless and worked immediately with my other Rock speaker. I have had it a year & still we’re still rocking on! This speaker “a single speaker unit”. worked well initialy. I was actually amazed at the sound. But the after storing the unit over the winter the buttons needed to be pushed several times to get them going again. Now the third season the system will not work at all. I am looking at other systems to replace this system.

Works as expected. Works as expected. Lasts about 4 months rather than 6 months though. I like .

Same product, better price. I priced the same product from the manufacturer and other retailer websites and couldn’t find a better price. Product is as described. No problems. I enjoy .

Easy to install filter. Fits perfect for Samsung Fridge.. Received my replacement filter from Filters Fast and took less that a minute to install. Filter works great. Water tastes great. Highly recommend this product.

This rotary-wheel ‘beach wave distance finder’ is a real delight for those living on the unspoiled beaches near the coast of Oregon. Product is fairly easy to use, simply position oneself atop of the wheel, placing one’s feet upon it, wait for a wave and then crawl up to the water mark and the distance is stored inside a handy mechanism inside the wheel.

You can measure the distance of the waves throughout the day after a hard day at work, what more fun can you ask for besides finding a nest of snapping turtles?

I was able to use this device in minutes. It’s simple and funtional…meets my needs for measuring building structures for my Spray Foam Insulation biz.

It has a strong LED laser with a cross-hair site…different. The LCD read out is perfect for the information to be easily read. It displays x-y and x-y-z planes.

The plastic case is alright and has the ergo soft-grip. It fits well in hand.

Highly recommend purchase except for extreme duty

I measured the accuracy of the FatMax I received. (1) The leveling (horizontal angle of the center of the projected cross) spec that is printed in the manual is 0.025-degree, and I measured better than 0.01-degree. (2) The plumb accuracy is hard to measure and no spec is given in the manual. I measured better than 0.05-degree, and it probably is much better than that. (3) The horizontal (right-to-left) line spec printed in the manual is 0.045-degrees. On my FatMax the line up to 45-degrees from straight ahead is level to better than 0.007-degrees. Beyond 45-degrees, the line curves down on both sides so that at 80-degrees from straight ahead it has dropped 0.030-degrees. I myself cannot speak to its robustness, since I have been treating it carefully, but its accuracy is much better than the company claimed.

I have admired the Casio altimeter/barometer/compass pathfinders for several years. But I never cared for the huge size.

I wanted their functions in a smaller, lighter watch. When Casio introduced the PAW1300T-7V, I decided I would try it as a replacement for my aging Luminox Navy Seal watch. I needed a watch that was fairly light and easily readable in the dark. The Luminox had fit that bill perfectly with the Tritum capsules on the hands at at the hour marks. But over time those capsules loose their luminosity. Also batteries have to be replaced. The prospect of a solar powered, rechargable watch that automatically corrected itself with the Atomic Clock signal was an added benefit.

I fly for an EMS helicopter service for a living. Half of my shifts are night shifts. This watch works very well for quick time checks with its auto-illumination feature. I have found if I calibrate the altimeter and barometer with local conditions that the altimeter function is very accurate, usually within 20-40 feet of the calibrated altimeters in my helicopter. I frequently check the watch against the altimeters when we are flying. Dual time zones means I can leave the secondary time zone on UTC for filing filght plans. The temperature function is not of any real value to me as it is greatly affected by body proximity. But it is accurate if the watch is removed from the body for about 30 minutes. The alarms work well but the alarm tones are too soft for my ears after flying turbine engined aircraft for almost 40 years.

So, a quick recap: Automatic self-correcting time snychronization, Solar powered/recharged, Excellent automatic self-illumiation, Accurate altimeter and compass functions when calibrated for local conditions. It smaller than previous PAW’s and lighter, especially in the Titanium version. I was just thinking the other day that I have been using Casio watches for the last 30 years. (I just put a battery in one of the oldest and it still works great!) I have always liked their layout and user interface. This newest Pathfinder of mine is no exception. It is easy to use, easy to set. If you like Casios, for the money, it is hard to beat this watch, especially on Amazon!

Great watch with many useful features. I bought this as a backup tool for aviation. It has proved to be fairly useful. I give it only 4 stars because of the functionality of the measurements.

I calibrated my watch at the airport with actual observed conditions. Once calibrated it will provide fairly accurate measurements, I use fairly loosely. The barometer only measures in increments of .05 inches. Yesterday the barometer was as 30.07 observed and my watch read 30.10. I suppose 30.05 would have been closer but I was thankful that the watch read that close. The temperature measurements have been dead on. I have an outdoor digital thermometer at my house and they generally read the same to .2 degrees F.

The altimeter and compass do not continually measure. They have to be refreshed. I believe that the compass reads for 20 sec and the altimeter might be the same. The altimeter has shown to be the most inaccurate of the measurements. It tends to fluctuate a lot.

My biggest complaint though is the backlight. It only stays on for about 2 seconds once the button is pushed. It isnt nearly enough time to take in all the information that this watch provides. I havent found a way yet to change the duration.

I could certainly have gotten away with the 1300 series but my wife thought the 1500 looked better so who was I to argue. The moon feature of the 1500 is pretty cool. I do enjoy knowing what phase the moon is in and how high the tides are.

Overall I really enjoy this watch. I wish that it was a little more accurate but I guess that is why aviation instruments are thousands of dollars and this watch is hundreds. BTW, I really like Amazon and buy most everything from here…except this watch. I bought it at my local Casio dealer for about $30 less than advertised here. The casio pathfinder website has a dealer locater function. If you are thinking about this watch…get it.

This watch stands out in price/performance terms in this category. I replaced a 5-year old similar Casio model that was all plastic and required a battery. (When you are deep in the mountains batteries are a nuisance.)

With solar power the watch is always ready for action. It even conserves power when it sits overnight by turning off the display. All the functions work as documented.

One minor feature that is surprisingly useful to me is the time zone change function based on city location. It’s much faster and easier to switch as you move around the world.

With a titanium band I expect this one to last at least 5 years. Although the watch is large and noticeable it is very lightweight.

Expect to get labeled as a bit of a geek if you wear this watch as a day to day timepiece. It’s information over style although the looks work for me.

I love this watch and never travel without it. I followed the instructions in the manual and use the thermometer a lot. To get an accurate ambient air temp reading I just take off the watch and wait about 8 minutes in the shade. You can also calibrate the thermometer and found the factory setting to be dead accurate! I discovered that if you read the temp while wearing this watch it will read your skin temp and have found this to be very helpful in monitoring my skin temp. Anything less than a 83 degrees means I am starting to get uncomfortably cold and need to warm up. 86 degrees skin temp is perfect for me. Knowing this allows me to tell if I have a fever or just over worked etc.

I use the altimeter alarm function when I fly to alert me of a faulty cabin pressure system during my commercial flights. I set my PAG 40 alarm to 8000 which is the maximum altitude pressure allowed in passenger cabins set by the FAA. If the cabin pressurization goes above 8000 ft the alarm will sound on the PAG 40. There is a graph at the top of the screen to check your altitude history. The graph is also used for tracking barometer history.

I calibrate my altimeter daily to get an accurate reading since the barameter will change by the hour.

The compass feature is great and you can also calibrate that too. I find the compass usefull at night and on heavy overcast days.

You get 5 seperate alarms and a short alarm for the top of each hour. All the alarms can be turned off or on seperately.

The stopwatch function does split times and single timing. It will not do laptimes for example timing laps at a race on after the other.

It runs on 4 batteries part# 395. Which I was able to change them myself.

Watch speed calibration was also accessible!

The display is large and easy to read.

I have owned my Casio PAG 40 for two years now.

The watch band has held just great so far and the watch is free of defects.

I plan to buy two more of these watches.

This watch has about all the gimmicks you could want in a watch. Well, perhaps a GPS, heart rate monitor and MP3 player would be nice inclusions… However, it is solar-powered with a generous battery reserve and should never die with normal light exposure. I’ve never seen my battery level fall below H (high). It has a thermometer, barometer, altimeter, compass, moonphase indicator, tide chart, automatic synchronization with international atomic clock radio broadcasts and the standard multi-function watch stuff like stopwatch, world time, etc.

That’s all fine and dandy, but let’s face it, this is NOT a precise instrument.

The compass is surprisingly consistent, though I did have to calibrate it away from the factory preset initially. I feel this feature is the watch’s strongest feature due to its accuracy and the fact that it could someday save your life. Still, it’s not perfect. The compass display only lasts a few seconds, so you can’t use it like a real compass.

The barometer also is quite consistent once calibrated, though I have seen errors of 2 hPa in either direction.

Thermometer is rather fickle if the watch is being worn on skin. I’ve noticed as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit error in either direction. It’s typically within 1 F degree either way. Have never verified the thermometer’s accuracy when not being worn, so can’t comment on that.

Altimeter gives decent approximation. I live at sea level and get readings as low as -10 meters and as high as 10 meters while at sea level. Typically it reads 0 or 5 meters. On a recent trip about 250 miles from home, with the watch calibrated at my home’s sea level, I reached a peak altitude of 1195 meters, according to the watch. On my descent, I compared the watch’s altitude reading with a posted USGS altitude sign. At 457.2 meters (1500 feet) the watch read a pretty consistent 420 meters.

The moonphase indicator is, of course, very accurate.

Tide charting leaves much to be desired. It calculates first high tide to within 20 minutes. Pretty good. However, this is the only actual high or low tide to be seen and to actually see the actual time, you must go into the Adjust mode. The actual graphing of the tides is sloppy and inaccurate. A dot-plotted chart like that used for the barometer should be incorporated. The 2-hour increments of the present graph also hinder true accuracy. Also, this mode ALWAYS defaults to showing tide at 6:00 am. This time can be adjusted manually each time you enter the mode, but the default time CANNOT be changed. Tide charting is the watch’s weakest feature.

Rather disappointed with the atomic clock synchronization too. I live in HNL, one of the listed time zones that should be able to receive atomic calibration. Has not happened yet, after over a month. When I try to manually synchronize, I get a level 1 (low, but existent) signal indication, but no synchronization. Frustrating.

It’s also a little disappointing that a “titanium” watch has a PLASTIC shell and stainless back and presumably a something-other-than-titanium case. The band does appear to be legitimate titanium but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s titanium-plated aluminum or something. This watch, despite it’s substantial bulkiness, is very light. My Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk, which is TRULY a titanium watch and is notably smaller, is noticeably heavier.

All in all, it’s a cool watch. It’s very stylish for a digital watch. It’s comfortable. It’s very durable. And you’ll always have reasonable accuracy from any function (maybe not with tide charting), with a good compass. Worth the Amazon price, but not the suggested retail price.
