I’ve been wearing Casio Pathfinders since 2002. I had the PRG50 which was huge. When the newer models came out they removed the dual lcd display and I was sad. I bought a PRW-2600Y-1JF in 2013 and still wear it today. I haven’t seen a better one released since. This one is in all black, it has the dual lcd display and has the best specs I’ve seen.
I have had my pathfinder for 15 years still works well. Beat up and battered from many adventures. My only complaint about this watch is that I have NEVER been able to get the altimeter to work properly, however, generally it is consistently off by about 300ft so I just compensate for the 300ft and have an approximate idea of the altitude. Was thinking about getting a new one but why? This one works fine and from what I have read, people still complain about the inaccuracy about the altimeter with the new watches. One final word is about the temp sensor. It is important to remember you need to take the watch off your wrist for 15-30 minutes to get an accurate reading. Otherwise the temp will be distorted by your body heat.
Wow that's great! Yeah I've experienced that as well. I actually recently damaged mine hitting it hard on some rocks, and now the compass feature is out of whack unfortunately. Other than that it has performed awesome over the years, and I will probably end up buying a new one again, because I love having that compass feature. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Both this for my daughter as a high school gift. She stopped using it when she started college. She graduated last week. I just happened to find it in it closet. It was dead. I put it on any way. About 30 minutes later it is working!!! I didn't even realize it is solar powered. None of the buttons seen too be working though. Will keep it in the sun tomorrow and see if a full charge will help.
Simple and all about in 2mins! Thanks! I aint done my chose yet, prg 240vs270. Prg270 workin faster feels newer, but led backlight is a shame, 240 just lil older model. All the best!
Had mine almost 10 years. LOVE IT. Just one thing, it gains about 10 seconds a week. Not much, but kinda annoying having to reset. Wish it came with Atomic. I've also got the Waveceptor, but it's not nearly as nice. The recharge is awesome even after a decade it still holds a charge every bit as well as when I bought it.
I looked up: What watches do special forces use? And found out that these Casio watches are one of them. I travel quite a bit, and I got tired of only finding women's watches that did diddly squat. Found mine used for $50 years ago, and it still works. The only thing is that my female wrist is small.
Buen video, gracias por el aporte!... Un reloj muy cool como todos los G-Shocks. Hoy compré uno de segunda en excelente condición en un sobreruedas a un tipo con un solo brazo y aspecto de drogadicto. Una ganga de 100 MX pesos.
Hi Jacobys. Please, can you recommend what would be the best G-Shock watch for you and that it has sapphire crystal and Compass? I want to buy a very reliable G-Shock that lasts for many years. Thanks in advance. !!!
You still using this watch? I want to buy a watch specifically for travel and I would like to see in a digital form the time, date, day of the week. for example 09:08 Mon Sept 10. Also for it to have an Atomic clock so I won't have to adjust it as I travel. The alarm clock feature is Great! as well as the solar recharging.
Hey buddy, I ordered a new replacement watch strap on amazon, here is a link to that amzn.to/2QQKit6 but for the box you mentioned, Im not sure. Maybe try searching amazon for what you need? Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Ok Okok Thanks. I'm not sure, I have only owned the PAG so I'm not familiar with the other model. I imagine you can find out by googling that question though. Thanks for watching
Hey, yeah man that's the best feature in my opinion. Just hit the button anytime and wait a second or two and it will show you digital compass that updates in real time. As you rotate your body the compass stays pointing to North. Thanks for watching!
at the main screen press and hold ADJUST botton, Then choose your location and city by pressing COMP or ALTI botton. you can also press MODE botton there several time and adjust hour and second and date and everything.
Mine never goes to low battery. Since I''m outside so much, maybe it's just always slowly charging haha. But yeah, mine is always on High or Medium battery. The only time I had to actually "charge" it, by laying it in the sun, was a couple years back when I was backpacking in Asia for several months. I had the watch set to automatically light up (indiglo) at night when I turned my wrist up to check the time. It started flashing "Low Batt" so I just laid it in the sun for a few hours and it was back to 100%. So I guess it depends how often you use the indigo feature. But roughly, it will last for several months each charge. If its on low or med battery just lay it in the sun for a few hours. Thanks for watching!
It charges automaticaly, the battery never drops to low, it's always on high level on mine. It's a ten year watch at least, probably the best value Casio watch, especially when it comes to what it can do and how easy it is to use it. Superb watch!
Casio says it lasts 6 months without recharging. But, as others have said - it's always recharging. You'd have to live in a cave without lights for 6 months, apparently.

I am a proud owner of this watch... It's amazing and truly a guide for travel, especially in mountains.
Nice! Yeah it's such a great design. Thanks for watching!

I read on Amazon that they are selling for $150, don't remember exactly what I spent on mine years ago but it was a lot more than $150.

Nice that’s cool! Yeah, maybe give it time to charge up fully and hopefully it will be back to normal. Thanks for watching!
Simple and all about in 2mins! Thanks!
I aint done my chose yet, prg 240vs270. Prg270 workin faster feels newer, but led backlight is a shame, 240 just lil older model.

Артём Абдуллин Hey thanks a lot! Yeah I try to keep it quick and to the point ha ha. Thanks for “watch”ing ! 😂

Do you still have it now, two years on?
@ 0:52 to calibrate the temp sensor i simply subtracted 12 degree's from the setting and its always within a degree or so to the ambient temp.

Hello Friend. I am from Brazil and would like to know how and where I can buy a new Bracelet and new box that surrounds the machine of this watch?
Hey buddy, I ordered a new replacement watch strap on amazon, here is a link to that amzn.to/2QQKit6 but for the box you mentioned, Im not sure. Maybe try searching amazon for what you need? Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
could you show how to adjust the time. please
I think if you do a google search for your model you can find a online manual to do anything you need. Thanks for watching !
good the question that i styl dont know it from 2012 TO NOW
what differnce between prg 240 AND BAG 240
ONE OF THEME FROM JAPAN I GUESS
Ok Okok Thanks. I'm not sure, I have only owned the PAG so I'm not familiar with the other model. I imagine you can find out by googling that question though. Thanks for watching
can it show 24 hours time display? like 15:37 instead of 3:37 etc
frank rumble Hi, yes it can. That’s how I’ve always kept it on!
I have one love it
Nice! Yeah its really a great watch. Thanks for watching!
Can the compass feuture be utilized while on wrist?
Hey, yeah man that's the best feature in my opinion. Just hit the button anytime and wait a second or two and it will show you digital compass that updates in real time. As you rotate your body the compass stays pointing to North. Thanks for watching!
How to set time on the watch?
at the main screen press and hold ADJUST botton, Then choose your location and city by pressing COMP or ALTI botton. you can also press MODE botton there several time and adjust hour and second and date and everything.
Thanks,,,,
How long does the battery last between charges?
Mine never goes to low battery. Since I''m outside so much, maybe it's just always slowly charging haha. But yeah, mine is always on High or Medium battery. The only time I had to actually "charge" it, by laying it in the sun, was a couple years back when I was backpacking in Asia for several months. I had the watch set to automatically light up (indiglo) at night when I turned my wrist up to check the time. It started flashing "Low Batt" so I just laid it in the sun for a few hours and it was back to 100%. So I guess it depends how often you use the indigo feature. But roughly, it will last for several months each charge. If its on low or med battery just lay it in the sun for a few hours. Thanks for watching!
It charges automaticaly, the battery never drops to low, it's always on high level on mine. It's a ten year watch at least, probably the best value Casio watch, especially when it comes to what it can do and how easy it is to use it. Superb watch!
Casio says it lasts 6 months without recharging. But, as others have said - it's always recharging. You'd have to live in a cave without lights for 6 months, apparently.
What's The Price??
$120-170 and a link is in the description.
how can I shut off indiglo...?
frank rumble frank rumble there’s a setting to turn the indiglo on or off, it explains in the manual 👍
You said nothing no settings, I like it too just can’t set it
This is not a “How to”. They have online manuals for Settings. This was a quick review to point out it’s a great watch.
