Casio General Men's Watches Protrek Triple Sensor PRG-80T-7VDR - WW Review

I bought this watch when it first came to market (about six months ago). It is a large watch, and it's not elegant in any stretch of the word, but it is built with self protective contours, and it's display is nothing short of awesome.

As for it's features, refer to the product description or free manual. It does everything Casio claims it can do, and does it in supurb fashion. It really is an awesome watch.

There are a couple of issues that I really want to point out though. First, the display is incredible. Even for a 51 year old like me, it is clear and sharp, no matter what mode is in play. The auto illumination mode takes it's toll on battery life, but it works like a charm, and can be turned on and off as you please. I leave it on in the summer, and switch to manual lighting in the winter. There is no pressing need to do that, but I enjoy seeing the battery charge indicator at the full mark all year long.

Just remember what I said. The display and the lighting are the best ever offered in a watch. You will be amazed. No kidding....

All of the sensor features are top notch. Don't even give them a second thought. You would be hard pressed to buy better at any price.

OK, here is the clincher for me. Casio claims that the watch is accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month. My watch has been keeping perfect time with a WWV radio controlled Seiko wall clock since the day I bought it. That's about six months now. Not even a second lost or gained during the entire time. That would make it the most accurate wrist watch I ever owned. By far. I heard a rumor that Casio has added radio timesetting to the next generation of Pro Trek watches, but I have not seen any announcement from Casio,

Still, unless my Pro Trek watch is a freak of production, I suspect that the PRG-80 series is already under radio control, as I have never owned a watch that can maintain perfect synchro with a radio controlled WWV wall clock for nearly six months runnung, yet mine does it very well.

I collect Citizen and a few other brands of watches, and I'm very happy with them. That being said, no watch I have ever owned is as bullet proof, functional, or as accurate as the Casio PRG-80 series wrist watch (I have the titanium band, but it should not matter a bit. The movement and case should be the same). It is simply awesome, and I still suspect that they might be radio controlled. I have never, ever had a wrist watch this accurate in my life.

Buy one. You can still collect other brands, but if you own this one, you will own a stabdard to set all the others on for years to come.

I'd be interested to hear from others about this watch. Having a full function, easy to read watch with the accuracy of an atomic clock is beyond any expectation. The PRG-80 delivers on all of it's promises.

Jim K.

Casio Men's Watch PAW1200-1V Review

All the features are great.Everything I expected it would be.The buckle needs work though.The band flexes during normal wear resulting in the retaining band sliding up and not holding the end of the band down.So the end of the band ends up sticking out and catching on shirt and/or coat sleeves.Annoying.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Solar Altimeter/Barometer/ Digital Compass Triple Sensor Watch #PAG50-1V Review

Let me start out by saying this: I am a hopeless watch collector.The bigger the size and the more nifty options they offer the better.I am also VERY partial to Casio products specifically because of my past history owning many models and their incredible durability.
With that said, I have been (as of late, anyway) collecting Altimeter/Barometer/Digital-Compass watches, mostly from the VERY well made Suunto Observer, X-Lander, X6HR and the really BIG GPS Suunto X9, along with the HighGear Axis and Summit models and when I discovered Casio manufactured a model that also offers several of the same options, I knew I had to have it.I wanted the Titanium model, and almost wish I had spent the extra $ (which really wasn't that much extra, by the way) but the rubber strap version is still great and quite durable.
Initial reaction was a VERY NICE looking instrument.I am particularly happy that Casio went with a mineral crystal lens rather than something cheaper.It IS large (but still smaller than my X-Lander and virtually tiny compared to the Suunto X9) but is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable on my wrist.I own 2 other Casio Solar powered watches so picking up a 3rd watch that I can enjoy without worrying about battery replacement was a very nice plus.
It wasn't until I sat down to calibrate the watch that I decided this would be a 4-star review instead of 5.As I mentioned before, owning several other Altimeter/Barometer/Digital-Compass watches, I was rather familiar with how to do this, and maybe it was ignorance, but I stupidly thought that this particular model would be calibrated in much the same way...NOT SO.Both Suunto and HighGear make it so simple a totally in-experienced person can calibrate the compass and the altimeter with ease.With the Casio Pathfinder (at least with this particular model) you need a separate compass in order to correctly set the internal digital-compass which is ridiculously complicated when compared with the other watches I mentioned.One item I DID like was how you can adjust the temperature reading to compensate for your own body heat, which affects pretty much every watch I am familiar with that has this feature.
One other small item that bugged me was the day, month and year feature at the bottom of the screen being backwards -- at least for us Americans who are used to Day/Month/Year rather than Year/Month/Day.It can throw you a bit -- until you get used to it.
The Barometer graph is useful when keeping track of weather trends (although the HighGear Axis & Summit will go one step further and give you an actual weather icon predicting the next day's weather, whether cloudy, sunny or rainy it shows up right on the screen.So even if you don't fully understand how to read Barometric trend, the watch does it for you -- really slick) and when I compared it with my other watches, I noticed it seemed to be right on the money each time.
The Digital Compass, while a pain in the arse calibrate is easily the coolest looking.Casio has virtually perfected how to project a slightly see-thru LCD image above the regular watch image which gives you all the necessary functions of a normal compass.I give Casio HIGH marks just for how good it looks.LOW marks for how difficult it was to calibrate, and I imagine I may have to do some additional adjusting as I put it to actual use.
The Altimeter, as with ALL watches like this is totally at the mercy of the weather.As weather patterns abruptly change, so too can the altitude reading.I understand Nike has an Altimeter watch which compensates for this and gives extremely accurate readings, but I'll wait to comment on that until after I get one (which I probably will sooner or later).This is only slightly annoying for someone like me who uses my altimeter only sparingly, I can see this could be a HUGE problem for the average Hiker or Mountain Climber, or worse yet, Base Jumper.But since this seems to affect pretty much ALL Altimeter watches in the same way, I suppose the problem is moot for me, but not necessarily for YOU.
As with pretty much everything you purchase, doing your homework will ensure you will not waste your money on something you don't need, or worrying about purchasing something with a bad track record.I would imagine I fall somewhere in the middle.Other than the calibration pain, I feel this is a nice electronic gadget which I will no doubt enjoy for years to come.

Product Description:
Set a course for adventure every day you wear this solar-powered Casio Pathfinder Triple Sensor men's digital watch (model PAG50-1V), which includes a built-in digital compass, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. The digital compass displays 16 directions and has a 5-set memory capacity that captures direction, month, date, and measurements time data. The altimeter measures up to 32,800 feet (10,000 meters) in 20-foot (5-meter) increments, and it can store 50 sets of altitude memory with date and temperature. It also provides a target altitude alarm and graphing capability for target and altitude tendency.

The duplex LCD provides two liquid crystal panels, enabling you to select from among different display patterns. It offers a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute measuring capacity and elapsed time, split time, and 1st/2nd place time modes. It also includes a daily alarm, optional hourly time signal, and 12/24-hour formats. Other features include a comfortable resin strap, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, AfterGlow LED electro-luminescent backlight, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

Casio Men's G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch #GW500AJP-1AV Review

Having owned the GW500AJP-1AV for a week, here are my thoughts on some of the points raised by the reviewers of this and other G-Shock models:

1. In my opinion, concerns about the thickness of the watch have been overstated. Certainly, if slimness is an *important* criterion for you, this isn't your watch. But you'll have no trouble fitting it under your shirt cuff. [Though the manual cautions that doing so will hamper the solar function.] Even my ridiculously slender wrists support it - physically and (I hope) esthetically - without difficulty.

2. The G-Shock models are advertised as rugged. I'm not about to use mine as a hockey puck to put that to the test. But it certainly *feels* sturdy. [The thickness helps here.] And from what I've read about them elsewhere, they do shrug off a considerable amount of punishment.

3. Everyone's experience with receiving the timekeeping signal from Fort Collins will vary depending on the particulars of their location and the attention they pay to the manual. I live only 350 miles from the transmitter but with modestly sized mountains in between - which can be a dealbreaker. Although it took a longer period of motionlessness for the watch to lock in than the manual had told me to allow, it has received a strong signal ever since. [And keep in mind that the watch is accurate to 15 seconds a month even without synchronization.]

3. When I first unpacked the watch, the battery level was at Medium - which you would expect after it having been in a box for who knows how long. After 3 hours of direct exposure to bright sunlight [which you should do in the early morning to keep the watch from roasting], the battery level has remained High ever since.

4. The four control buttons are slightly recessed - for decreased vulnerability, I imagine. This means you will need to operate them with a directly perpendicular press by the edge of your fingernail, rather than an angled mashing under the meat of your fingertip. I can see why this irritates some people. [It did require a small mental adjustment on my part.] However, I think it was a legitimate design decision.

5. The leftmost of the three circular "gauges" at the top of the display is meant to mimic the sweep of a minute hand on an analog watch. Speaking as someone whose attachment to that visual "pie-slice" style of time reading has been my main reason for sticking with analog watches until now, I think it's a terrific idea. In practice, though, the gauge is too small to be useful for that purpose. [For my eyes, anyway.] However, I don't mind particularly - since I think the three gauges look cool simply as decoration.

6. Someone else commented that the black resin wrist band is not replaceable. I'm not sure if that's true. However, replacing it would be no casual affair. So if you won't be content with this kind of band, you should look for a different watch. I prefer leather bands myself. But this one is in keeping with the toughness of the rest of the watch and certainly comfortable enough to wear.

On the whole, I'm very happy with this purchase. If you enjoy having an accurately set timepiece - and who doesn't? - it's difficult to overstate the satisfaction of radio-synchronization. A good mechanical watch is accurate to 5 seconds a day. A good quartz watch is accurate to less than 1 second a day. As long as it's in signal range, this watch will be accurate to less than 1 second for the next 60 million years [http://tf.nist.gov/cesium/fountain.htm] - or at least until the US government stops broadcasting, at which point you'll probably have other things to worry about. When someone asks you for the time, you will be able to give them *The* time.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Green Watch #PAW1300-3V Review

I have owned two Casio G-shock watches over a span exceeding a decade.I always liked the G-shock, but alas the viewing light recently stopped working and it was time to try something with a few more features.After quite a bit of searching I settled on the Pathfinder (model PAW 1300 - 3v) and I believe I made the correct personal choice.

Before actually receiving the watch from Amazon I was definitely concerned about the overall size of this watch.From my research I was half afraid I would end up with a geeky watch the size of a dinner plate on my wrist. Moreover, I don't have a big wrist to begin with so this was a real concern.I was pleasantly surprised that although slightly larger in circumference than a standard watch, this watch was not nearly as large as I had imagined.In fact, the difference between this model (1300) and the previous model (1200) is the size.The 1200 is nearly identical in features but is quite a bit thicker than the newer 1300 model.This Pathfinder sits nicely on my wrist and does not look unusual.

Practically speaking, this watch has a lot of nice features that I like, such as the compass, the automatic display light, atomic synchronization, and the solar power to note a few.While I would easily purchase this watch again, I might consider the model with the metal band.I say this because somehow with the price of this watch I was expecting it to have a bit more panache to it, if that makes any sense.This watch is fairly light weight and somehow looks characteristically similar to a lot of other pedestrian plastic-band watches out there.That may be fine for people who want just a plainish looking watch, but somehow the metal band version might look a bit nicer, although perhaps not as ruggedly practical.

I haven't had this watch long enough to judge its overall durability, but if my former G-shock watches are any indication, this Pathfinder should hold up just fine.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Atomic Solar Watch #PAW1100-1V Review

I've been happy with this watch, and it takes getting used to a pressure-based altimeter to realize how to use it best... if you're familiar with the concept of setting a reference altitude, you'll figure it out just fine.

It's reasonably robust, though one button has seemingly shifted inward slightly, requiring a much firmer press, after a fall to a rock ledge while hiking.So be it, I can't blame Casio for me juggling my watch and dropping it, can I?

The battery life is such that I generally (almost always) leave the "auto-backlight" turned off, as it will run the battery to low at times if I sleep with the watch on, turning its backlight on when I shift in my sleep.

Two points that I can't make sense of in the slightest, which are: first off, and this truly a pure software question, for some reason the countdown timer does not go longer than an hour, which I don't appreciate; secondly, it would be fantastic if there were a single button or button combination to return to the main time screen, from which you can access barometer, altimeter, and compass functions.It is a bit irritating to have to go through six screens while looking at the watch to find your way back.

One other small note, the backlight will not stay lit when you press any button, so you need to light the backlight, press whichever button you'd like, and then re-illuminate to confirm the step taken.

The longer timer and the backlight remaining on were two points that timex got right with my cheap nearly disposable ironman digital, it's odd that casio hasn't had the sense to fix these minor points.

Don't expect the watch to update to atomic time every night... some nights it fails to hook up, and that's not really a terribly big deal...

All in all, very happy, though some aspects of the interface are a little bit user unfriendly.Also, aseveryone else has said here already, the thermometer doesn't work in any meaningful way while the watch is on your wrist.If you want to spend hundreds more, get a suunto with gps, but for my money, and with the functional solar power, I'm quite happy with the watch.

One other minor point, in respect to criticism in quite a few reviews here, I've not had any issue with the excess of the band not remaining in the retaining loop, there is a ramped spot on the end of the band that seems to do a great job keeping it in place.Not sure if this is a design refinement or not, but I've not had any issue in that area.

Casio Men's Digital Compass Twin Sensor Green Nylon Band Sport Watch #SGW100B-3V Review

I bought this watch recently and as any Casio watch its great looking and worth fully for the price tag. Compass, World timer, Stop watch, Alarm and timer features are great and easy to operate. My only complain is the thermometer which I find practically useless. The instruction manual says watch sensor needs 30 min to adjust to the atmospheric temperature. For instance if you take your watch from warm place to a cold environment it will give erroneous readings for 30 mins!! And if you are wearing your watch, you can't depend on the reading at all since body temperarture will ridiculously increase the reading even in a cold winter day! If you take off your watch and try to measure.. you have to wait 30 mins to get accurate readings. So this sensor is not useful at all for measuring temperature when you are outdoors. Other than this, I like the watch.

Casio Men's Sea Pathfinder Tide Watch #SPF40-1V Review

This is an excellent watch for outdoorsy types, especially for those who sail, kayak or surf. With a compass, barometer, thermometer, and tide/moon tracking, it provides essential (potentially life-saving) information in an easy to use package.

The compass is seems accurate and is easy to calibrate. It is ideally suited for emergency navigation and for casual use such as trail hiking and river boating. I'm not sure I'd want to use it as my only compass for serious hiking or over the horizon boating, but perhaps that's just my distrust of electronics in mission critical environments.

The barometer is a little more hit-or-miss. It's accuracy is questionable given its fluctuation with altitude or temperature. This is not a Casio problem - it happens with all barometers especially wrist-mounted. Despite these issues the barometrer does a fair job of tracking the trend over the last 24 hours. Serious moutaineers may miss the multi-day tracking and using the barometer as altimeter, but most will appreciate it for the simple data it provides. I wish there were more display options, like a large multiday graph option for instance, but the small graph is fine.

Temp fluctuates when this is worn on the wrist, but not too much - perhaps a couple of degrees hotter than true outside temperature. It may be less accurate in cold temperatures than hot, but I'll have to wait a few months to test that theory.

The tide and moon features are what make this watch unique among triple-sensor watches, so I imagine that will be a key selling point for most. Both work well enough, though they will not replace a tide chart. The tide graph shows the general point in the cycle, but not with great accuracy. It's really only possible to estimate high tide with an hour or two. It would be nice of the actual hightide time were displayed or at least the graph had greater specificity. The moon tracking is a nice touch, since it allows one to estimate the size of the tides (spring and neap). But it's only an estimate - the watch does not tie moon and tide data together, leaving it to the user to figure it out. Some other tide watches actually have charts built-in that provide much more accurate data for particlar beaches, but are limited to limited spots. Since the Casio use longitude and other data to estimate the tide, it is less accurate for specific spots but more usefull overall. The ability to forcast the moon phase days in the future, but not to do the same for tide, leaves me wondering what they were thinking.

Other features of the watch include a countdown timer, stopwatch, and five alarms, which are all just fine. The five alarms cannot be set by day, but I suppose if you want to set a time for each day and just activate it as necessary that does the job. If you use the stopwatch and coundown timers frequently you may find switching between the two annoying, since they use the same function (you just set the the countdown timer to zero to put it in stopwatch mode). Also there are no lap-timers.

Downsides to the watch basically boil down to compleixity and size. While the watch is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it, it is not entirely intuitive an all screens, and requires some memorization. Setting the tide data requires far too much research on the internet, and casio should provide better data either in the manual or on their website about how to set the data for most large coastal cities and popular recreation areas. The size of the watch is HUGE. It is larger even than the Suunto watches with similar features. The biggest annoyance I have with the size is the height, which is made unnecisarily taller by the rotating bezel. But for some the size won't matter (some may like it) so it is really a matter of taste.

Overall the eatch offers a great set of tools for most casual uses and does it at a very reasonable price. I recommend it to casual adventurers unconcerned about the size.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Digital Watch #PAW1500Y-1 Review

I've had this watch for about 3 days now and I am liking it more each day.

When I first received the watch I was a bit worried about the ability to easily read the reverse LCD display, though after a while and testing it out in bright sunlight, it is very easy to read.The features on this watch are fantastic.The manual is quite large but there is great information in there and it makes you appreciate the watch even more.Synching the watch works great, it hasn't failed yet when it auto-synchs during the night.I am very happy with this watch and have no regrets with this purchase.

Pros:1. Tons of useful features.Compass, moon phase, altitude, Baro Pres, and tide are very nice to have.
2. Looks great with the reverse LCD screen.
3. Very comfortable and not too big like one would think.
4. All around great watch.

Cons:1. Temperature is only accurate after taking the watch off your wrist and letting it aclimate for 15-20 minutes (per instruction manual).
2. Bezel turns much to easily.When worn under a sweatshirt or jacket, it turns from the simple pressure
of your clothes.

These cons though are minor in my opinion and I am happy with the purchase.Enjoy the watch if you choose to buy it.

Casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Digital Watch #WV58A-1AV Review

This watch has the features, weight/feel that I wanted for work. (HEMS)
The "atomic time" feature coincides exactly with our helicopter's Garmin 530 radios.The backlight lasts long enough after pressing to write down and view times without repeating over and over again.The only reason I gave a 3/5 is the watch arrived without instructions.None.
I do not know if that was a Seller issue (Chelsea) or Manufacturer. (Casio)I have enough gadgetology experience that I could eventually figure it out.I prefer instructions and if I cannot find any on-line, it may take a while.(Syncing the radio signal, changing from Central Time to Pacific, changing the 12 hr format to 24 hr, etc.)Overall, this is exactly what I have been looking for.

Addendum:Go to Casio's website.Enter in the 4 (or 3) digit number from the back of your watch and it has a library of all the relevant instructions manuals in pDF format.Which, come to think of it, is a little easier to read than those manuals they usually put under the display box.But it is an additional hassle if you don't have internet access.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500T-7V Review

This watch has about all the gimmicks you could want in a watch. Well, perhaps a GPS, heart rate monitor and MP3 player would be nice inclusions... However, it is solar-powered with a generous battery reserve and should never die with normal light exposure. I've never seen my battery level fall below H (high). It has a thermometer, barometer, altimeter, compass, moonphase indicator, tide chart, automatic synchronization with international atomic clock radio broadcasts and the standard multi-function watch stuff like stopwatch, world time, etc.

That's all fine and dandy, but let's face it, this is NOT a precise instrument.

The compass is surprisingly consistent, though I did have to calibrate it away from the factory preset initially. I feel this feature is the watch's strongest feature due to its accuracy and the fact that it could someday save your life. Still, it's not perfect. The compass display only lasts a few seconds, so you can't use it like a real compass.

The barometer also is quite consistent once calibrated, though I have seen errors of 2 hPa in either direction.

Thermometer is rather fickle if the watch is being worn on skin. I've noticed as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit error in either direction. It's typically within 1 F degree either way. Have never verified the thermometer's accuracy when not being worn, so can't comment on that.

Altimeter gives decent approximation. I live at sea level and get readings as low as -10 meters and as high as 10 meters while at sea level. Typically it reads 0 or 5 meters. On a recent trip about 250 miles from home, with the watch calibrated at my home's sea level, I reached a peak altitude of 1195 meters, according to the watch. On my descent, I compared the watch's altitude reading with a posted USGS altitude sign. At 457.2 meters (1500 feet) the watch read a pretty consistent 420 meters.

The moonphase indicator is, of course, very accurate.

Tide charting leaves much to be desired. It calculates first high tide to within 20 minutes. Pretty good. However, this is the only actual high or low tide to be seen and to actually see the actual time, you must go into the Adjust mode. The actual graphing of the tides is sloppy and inaccurate. A dot-plotted chart like that used for the barometer should be incorporated. The 2-hour increments of the present graph also hinder true accuracy. Also, this mode ALWAYS defaults to showing tide at 6:00 am. This time can be adjusted manually each time you enter the mode, but the default time CANNOT be changed. Tide charting is the watch's weakest feature.

Rather disappointed with the atomic clock synchronization too. I live in HNL, one of the listed time zones that should be able to receive atomic calibration. Has not happened yet, after over a month. When I try to manually synchronize, I get a level 1 (low, but existent) signal indication, but no synchronization. Frustrating.

It's also a little disappointing that a "titanium" watch has a PLASTIC shell and stainless back and presumably a something-other-than-titanium case. The band does appear to be legitimate titanium but I wouldn't be surprised if it's titanium-plated aluminum or something. This watch, despite it's substantial bulkiness, is very light. My Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk, which is TRULY a titanium watch and is notably smaller, is noticeably heavier.

All in all, it's a cool watch. It's very stylish for a digital watch. It's comfortable. It's very durable. And you'll always have reasonable accuracyfrom any function (maybe not with tide charting), with a good compass. Worth the Amazon price, but not the suggested retail price.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch #PAW1500-1V Review

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 and have no problem with button operations. For some reason the moon display was reversed but the documentation explained how to fix that quickly. Like all temperature sensing watches, your measurements will be off if you try taking a reading with it on your wrist (body heat and all). Everything else appears accurate. The radio receiver has worked flawlessly every night, even receiving a signal with the watch deep inside my house.

Pros:
Watch has everything except a GPS!
Solar powered, don't worry about batteries.
Large, easy to read numbers.
Bright backlight, auto backlight if you enable it.
Calendar programmed until 2099.
Great water/depth resistance (200m).

Cons:
Large size (only a problem if you have a small wrist).
Disclaimers in manual to take all readings with a grain of salt (not meant as professional quality measurements).
Two-tone case (dark green and black, why not just back?).
Non-standard watch bands, can't swap it out easily for non-Casio band.

Casio Men's Active Dial Multi-Task Gear Sport Watch #AQW101-1ACF Review

I like inexpensive sports watches.I can't bring myself to wear a watch to impress, and can't imagine wanting a fancy (and expensive) one.I'm like my dad: when it comes to watches I prefer function to form.I like the digital time, the digital timer and the stopwatch.Unlike my dad, however, who for several years (to my mother's chagrin) wore a calculator watch everywhere he went (God rest his soul, I loved the man), I do like it to look good.

I needed a new watch, and wanted to get one that had both a digital readout and hands.I'm not sure why such watches even exist, but I think they look good, and I'm really happy about this watch.I think it looks good on me, and fits well (and I'm a very tall guy, with big wrists) and it has all the functions I could ever want in a watch (timer, alarm and stopwatch, etc.) plus a few more (the compass dial is a fake, though, and this won't give you directions).It reads temperature (though for that it's only an accurate reading if you take it off, since body heat messes with it, though you can adjust for that if you like - I haven't bothered). It shows you the phase of the moon, if you can believe that.But the real showstopper with this watch is the "good fishing" indicator, that varies between one fish and four: when all four leaping fish are lit up, that means (I guess) that you can't miss.I haven't tested the accuracy of its predictions yet and don't know enough (or care) to adjust it.As it turns out, I was surprised by this feature (I guess I didn't read the ad very clearly, mostly looked at the title and the picture, and the price was right and it looks nice). Still, I take some measure of confidence in knowing that if there were a global meltdown, and the local grocery stores were to run out of food, and if I ever got around to buying the proper gear, I'd then have a leg up on all the rest of the sorry sots who don't have a fish predictor built into their watch.
