Needed a replacement for my Casio Pathfinder PAG-40 that just died after 2 yrs. Tried replacing the 4 batteries but it's a goner. The new pathfinders were all a lot more than I'm willing to spend for a 2-yr plastic watch so decided to go back to basics. This watch has all the basic functions i actually need, including a countdown timer that the pathfinder didn't. It's a lot less bulky, lighter, smaller, more comfortable, solar-charged and overall more functional on a daily basis.
Sure, it's no pathfinder - but most weeks I'm not climbing the Rockies and if this dies in a yr or 2 it won't owe me a penny. Very satisfied with this purchase.
