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.

TweetEmailIt looks like Casio just repackaged the Oceanus 5 Motor's insides in a dark and bold G-Shock GIEZ case. Currently only available to the Japanese (and to resourceful and fanatical foreign watch geeks), the Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ appears to be identical to the Oceanus 5 Motor that I just reviewed, but with a much tougher, "special ops" look to it.Rather than titanium, the case is stainless steel with some sort of black, abrasion-resistant coating, and in place of the titanium bracelet is a pretty standard G-Shock rubber strap. The sapphire crystal of the Oceanus 5 Motor has also been replaced with whatever type of scratch-resistant plastic or acrylic that is used in G-Shocks. I'm not going to bother listing this watch's features since the Oceanus 5 Motor review covers them in detail (including a video), but I will say that aesthetically, this reinterpretation of the Oceanus really creates an entirely new watch.In fact, there might even be some advantage in owning both since your titanium, around-the-office, out-for-drinks timepiece could work identically to your weekend, change-the-oil, help-a-friend-move "beater". I think there could be a marketing opportunity here.The Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ goes for about $227.Update: Read the Casio Giez 1000BJ review.
