Which Casio ProTrek/Pathfinder is considered "the best" or your favorite?

[bezgeo85]

As in many things, best always is subjective.

According to your needs you define the one that fits most of your criteria.

I think that paw 2000 combines all the abc functionality in a slim and dressy case so i would pick this between the others.

With this watch, since the information on the digital display is spread out and it is set well underneath the level of the hands, I have never had any trouble reading the information on the display. Even if the Minute hand is directly over a display element, I can simply look in from the side to clearly see what is displayed.

The dial color is pretty much as in my pics all the time, a slightly off-black.

Thanks a lot

Hi gaijin

What do you think of the classic ana-digi problem with the hands covering the digital display? Is it somewhat easy to turn the watch a little, and look beneath the hands? What about the solar panel, does it always looks blackish or can it once in a while look more purple, depending on the surrounding light? Like on many digital tough solars?

Thanks,
Thomas

Well, if you are looking to get a reading from the stopwatch on a PRG-510T at around 5:30 it is a little tough!! These Pro Treks are a great value. I read the other comments, and truly the altimeter is wacky. Even after cal to a correct ref altitude for my area (+80ft > sea level), I go back and check it hours later and it reads -800 or something. I better watch out for the giant octopus!!

Also, the really cool sparkly finish on the plastic is rubbing off and now in places instead of sparkle there just murky gray. Bleh! But to heck with all that, the watch is awesome. I'm not a mountain climber or a pilot so the funky alti reading doesn't irk me too much. I love the fact that I never have to set anything. Time is accurate to within 2 seconds in 3 or four months. I leave it on the windowsill sometimes, and it's always charged to full power. Super easy to read, lights up at night, beeps on the hour (just did, ha ha!)

Great watch, I highly recommend it!!! And water resist 10 BAR!

I have three Pathfinder/Pro-Treks and my favorite is the PRW5100G-4 Similar to Scooby's but with orange accents. Yes, its missing some features of other models like the 2000 or 2500 but for hiking and general outdoors use it has served me well.

This is also cumbersome to do, but you can calibrate the altimiter to a known altitude on a map or marker at a trailhead if you really need accuracy on the alti. I have done this before a hike and the altimiter was within 20 ft of the marked altitude on the map at the summit.

I really like the PRX-2500T. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing the information on all watches but especially the PRW-5100-1JF. I believe that best combines the features that I like with the look I prefer. Thanks again for a great discussion. Now I have to sell my PAG-240 and potentially my incoming PRW-2500-1A.

You don't mind that super tiny barometric trend graph? It looks like it has much less detail than on the full digital Protreks.

I love my PAW-1500Y

My choice is the PRW-2500-1A. It is getting most of my wrist time. Currently wear it on a olive drab zulu from Jswing (forum member). I want to try it on an Isofrane.
