I am a long time lover of Casio's "gadget" watches and have owned just about all of them. The big news is that the really excellent Triple Sensor model has been improved in two major ways. The first is size, the old models were so large that it was difficult to wear them doing anything, they are now much more ergonomic thanks to not have bulging sensors. The second, and best thing, is that they have fallen in price by almost half. They seem to still be pretty high at most dealers, but there are some KILLER deals on ebay. A Triple Sensor that would run $250 (what I paid) a few years ago can be had for around $125-155. There are also more variations, including titanium models, solar powered models, and some new functions like moon phase mode. If you look on ebay look under "casio pathfinder" for the most results. If I can raise some cash I am going to score the Sea Pathfinder, no altimeter -but I don't need it- and has a mood phase mode.

There is also a really nice solar powered pathfinder that has few gadgets but is under $60 on ebay.

BTW all the arguements about what is the toughest watch end with the G shock. It is also the only watch that I KNOW was issued to the militar. I had a buddy that was a Viking pilot in the Navy and was issued a G shock, still has it.
 
Wow...u must be a Casio spokesman or something...just kidding.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, i have had a few Casios before, and i noticed that 3 out of 4 of them seem to have their parts made of resin crack!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif....espically the straps...it seems that they got old and cracked!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

and one particular Gshock seems to be disintergrating!!!!!..
the resin parts are falling apart and when i squeese them between my fingers...they disintergrate!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

do u experience that problem with your casios??
 
I have never had a Casio fall apart on me, never heard of it. The G shock's track record speaks for itself. I am not shilling for Casio, but I have had a lot of them and they have outlasted everything else I have had.

If you are having those problems I would go to a metal watch with a metal band.
 
hmm...ok...i will check with my other friends who have casios...:)

BTW, u consider the protrek Pathfinder 50T u were talking about up there small??....its like more than 5cm in dia!!....or are we talking about a different watch? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
