I've had my Pathfinder PAW1100-1V for over a year now and it's hands-down the best sporty/multifunction watch I've owned.  I was nervous it wouldn't be quite as tough as my 16 yr old G-shock but it's doing great!  I bought this watch specifically for the solar atomic capability.  My G-shock runs fast and I had to replace the battery at least every couple of years.  No more!  I have auto-light on and the only times I've ever even noticed the battery level fall are in the few weeks around the winter solstice.  This has been remedied both times by setting the watch under a desk lamp overnight for one night.  You can find the watch for well under $200 periodically.  But it's worth the cost either way.
