its the new updated version. I am looking at either OD green or black.

or a pathfinder watch

Thats a lot for a watch

I hope that thing does a lot more than keep time.

It does ALOT more than just tell time.

Liiiiiiiike?

Check out the Casio Pathfinder series...way more functional overall in my opinion.

ballistic calculator for long range shooting

I am trying to decide if I would like OD green or black? I might even lok at the tan. Black might stick out. But I do know I am going with the new design.

+1
I love my Pathfinder.

For $200, you get a plastic digital watch with a compass and an attempt at a ballistic computer.
all the other features are available on any $5 walmart watch.

One feature I have to have in a watch is that its analog... I really dont like digital watches and haven't found one yet that I like.

I wish I could fing a watch with all these features for 5 bucks. the pathfinder watches are 200.00 also so there is no differnece between the 2.

Check evilbay for the Pathfinders, I picked mine up new in box from a store for around $120.00.  Plus, it's solar, no battery, updates itself everyday, so it never loses time, and has a metric shit-ton of features.  Here is a comparison:

Thats really expensive for a watch. I was looking to get one of those(still want one), but damn thats a lot of money.  I would get the OD one myself

+1 on the Casio.
I've been wearing the Casio Pathfinder PAW-1300 Green (similiar to the 1200) for two years now. I have used it in all kinds of terrain and weather conditions. "Hiking" above 6500 ft in the mountains and humping around in the jungle of Guatemala, taking altitude and compass readings was easy and very helpful. The only caution I have is that it is rated as "water resistant". I wouldn't swim with it on or shower with it on. Other than that I have gotten it wet and it still works perfectly. You can't beat the automatic sync with the atomic clock each night or you can manually sync it any time of the day. As soon as this one shits the bed I'll go out and buy another one.

You get what you pay for. Good watches that can take a beating is well worth it's weight in coins and won't let you down when you need it to work.

I take it the casio comes in green but where I searched ebay and nothing when I googled Casio Pathfinder PAW-1200 Green.

Here is a green one going now, PAW 1300.  Left cold...

And here are the available BIN Items.  If you are not in a huge rush, take your time and keep checking.  There are usually several going on most of the time.  Don't forget the Bing search engine discount if you buy one from evilbay.

are both of these solar powered or just the second one.

I found my answer the 1300 is solar powered and the other is not I wish the pag40 was solar powered or the 1300 had the compass display of the pag40.  Please post some reviews of your pathfinder so I know which one to get.

Thanks.

They are all solar, and I saw one green one used on auction as well.  Here is a reference, looks like paw 80's, and any model above paw 1100 (so 1100, 1200, 1300, etc.) are all solar models.

I think I am going to go with a 1300 My fiance is going to get it for me for my birthday, I am glad you guys told me about it.

Thank you

Good deal man, you'll be happy with it.  It's built like a tank, on top of all the features.

yeah like I said I wish it had the compass feature of the triple sensor one.

Not shabby price wise.

I have a Marathon TSAR that I've had for 2 years and its been awesome. Not really the same style as those, but you should check em out.

If a compass is important to you, consider a Suunto Vector, Observer, X-Lander or Core.
