A keen outdoor sports fan has been raving about the Pathfinder range of Casio watches.Will Rochfort, writing for Backpacker magazine, said he was given one of these after being disappointed by two previous timepieces that let him down on camping trips.However, he has had no such bad luck with his Pathfinder, which he described as one of the most useful and dependable tools in his possession, as well as one of the hardiest."This watch has come on every trip I've been on since I received it as a birthday present two years ago … and it still works as well as the day I got it," Mr Rochfort enthused.The hiker praised the Pathfinder's solar power (which he reported never having seen at below two-thirds full), as well as extra functions such as a digital compass, thermometer, world time, timer and a calendar as being especially useful in the great outdoors.There are a number of Pathfinder models designed by Casio watches, including one with a yacht race timer for seafaring types.

Fans of Casio watches may be interested to hear that the company has unveiled a prototype timepiece that uses Bluetooth technology.Although it is not being mass-produced yet, the black watch was available for technology aficionados to look at on Casio's stand at the Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show this week.It looks much like one of the brand's classic retro styles from the 1980s, but it has a Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) link function that allows it to be connected to a smartphone.The wearer can therefore receive texts and emails on their wrist, instead of having to fish around in a briefcase, without using up lots of power. In fact, it uses the same battery life as an ordinary timepiece."Now, Casio's application of BLE positions the company to create new possibilities for the way people use their watches," said a statement from the company.Last month, Casio revealed a new solar-powered Oceanus G-Shock watch in Japan.
