Great watch that "has it all"
Picked up this watch last week (found it somewhere else for a for a bit cheaper) and loving it. The watch has all the functions mentioned and all work smoothly. The only thing to note is that the watch case itself is a mix of dark green and black (it's hard to make out in photos). Keep that in mind if you're "fashion conscious," didn't bother me one bit. The watch is a little on the large side so if you've got a very small wrist it might be huge on you. I'm a lefty and wear it on my right wrist ...

A great watch, but a step backwards
I recently received this watch as a gift, as I already owned a Casio Pathfinder PAW1300G-1V (the earlier model), and it was thought that I would appreciate the upgrade.
In short, this is a nice watch, but there aren't that many features over the PAW1300 line to justify the increased size. Unfortunately, in spite of these new features, I find that I still go back to the PAW1300 as my daily watch, simply because it's a better package as a whole.
There are three major new fea...

Very cool and useful
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 sup...

Comparison to the PAG-40
So in 2001, I got my first Pathfinder watch, the PAG-40. It was great. The PAW-1500 is an obvious improvement in function. It is solar powered, water resistant to 200 m (although anyone who is diving 660 feet...I find hard to believe they would be wearing this watch, but whatever), atomic precision in time keeping, world time, tide/moon phases, and a countdown timer, and a silent mode (the last four are my favorite, most useful). I was actually hoping to get a watch that has all of these, includ...

Bulky, clumsy, overpriced
First, I got a very good deal on this watch. Still, I regret the purchase
Key points:
1. Its too big and heavy, it tends to want to spin around your wrist
2. The tide feature is simply a toy. It will not even tell when there will be a high or low tide. You must hunt for it. Yet, its still one of the most interesting features.
3. Solar. When I was looking, I had this as a must have, but now, I dislike it. I find myself always worried about making sure the dang thing is in...

great watch, horrible place to buy it.
I like the watch, it works as advertised, it looks neat-o.
But I'll never buy anything through Amazon again. They made a mess of my bank account, didn't seem to care that they froze over $500 in my bank account for a full week. Their customer service people don't have a good grasp of English and no sense of urgency in problem solving. Sure, I saved some money, but the time I spent on the phone getting it to ship and then reconstructing my bank account didn't make the savings worth ...

Great watch...just know its limitations
I just got this watch and I really like it. As a flyfishing guide/fisheries biologist, I have found it a very useful tool. For a watch I have found its "casual" data quite useful. I have found the barometer to be accurate within .05 inPb and the altimeter accurate within 60-100 ft... what more can I ask from a watch. If I need more accurate data, I use precise scientific equipment(that costs thousands of dollars and needs more calibration than this watch). For the casual user (hiker, biker,...

Got Gadgets?
For those who aren't familiar with atomic time watches, it works something like this. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains super-accurate cesium atom and hydrogen atom clocks (hence "atomic time"). Astronomical observations from the U.S. Naval Observatory are used to keep the atomic clocks in synch with the actual rotation of the earth and its orbit around the sun. The resulting time information is then broadcast via short wave radio from Fort Collins, Colorado....

Good features, but a bit on the big side
I was debating on getting this watch or the PAW1300 series, since they are pretty much the same features. I had no need for the tide information. I am a pilot so I wanted to have the other options. I didn't want a grey bezel, but wanted the resin strap. So the problem with the grey bezel is that it makes the watch look cheap and walmart'ish. Besides that the watch is huge. I own a Atomic Skyhawk from Citizen, and I thought that watch was big and that the PAW1500 wouldn't be any bigger. But it is...

Lots of fun, easy to wear, looks better in person
A lot has already been said about this watch, so I'll just add a few more notes.
I like this version better than the one with the titanium band. First, the color scheme is more to my liking. Easier to match black. Second, it's much more comfortable. If you're going to be wearing this outdoors, possibly while sporting or hiking, then you might prefer the resin band to the titanium band, especially considering how it will feel on a hot day when you're sweating. I prefer the resin.
