For anyone looking to buy an outdoor watch, the Casio Men’s Pathfinder Triple Sensor Barometer Watch comes in at a fair price.  It features an altimeter, a barometer, a thermometer, and even a digital compass.  The digital compass holds up to 5 settings for later references and includes the direction, date and time.  The altimeter and barometer also allow you to keep track of various measurements.  The altimeter has a range of 10,000 meters and does so in 5 meter increments.  The watch stores up to 50 settings that capture the altitude, date, and temperature.

The watch itself is a fully functional time piece as should be expected from Casio.  It has a stopwatch that measures up to sixty minutes and can do split times as well as place times.  It can give you an alarm on the hour plus you can set a daily alarm and it will display in either twelve hour or twenty-four hour formats.  In dark places, you can use the AfterGlow LED backlight.

The only real issue with the Casio Men’s Pathfinder Triple Sensor Barometer Watch is that the altimeter itself can be a little buggy.  Sometimes it will read one setting of, say, +20 feet and then at another time (in the same location, mind you) it may read +25 feet.  Also, this watch, along with many other watches from a multitude of manufacturers, walks a fine line between having buttons that are either too hard to press or are too easy to press.  It seems that Casio went with having buttons that are too easy to press and can therefore be inadvertently engaged from moving your hand around.
