Around theface of the watch

Around theface of the watch, there's a ring of segments that's used to showseconds in time mode, and as the compass in navigation mode, and alsoto show pressure trends in barometer mode. Below the time, there39;s aspecial graph to show tide and trend (in or out, high/low), icons for'radio signal receive39;, battery charge, AM/PM, moon phase, and more. The buttons for altimeter, barometer and compass are on the rightside, with plastic shrouds to prevent accidental presses. re alsocrosshatched for a sure grip, and a bit oversized for use with gloves -very thoughtful. There's an unshrouded 'Mode' button on the left sideas well, and two more below the dial.The altimeter and barometer are fast and accurate, and displaygraphs of measurement versus time. I found it to be quite accurate once setto local barometric pressure. If you're going to use this, I recommendfinding the altitude of your house so that you can calibrate beforeleaving. The bracelet and clasp of the watch are worth mentioning as well.The clasp is a nice evolution of previous designs, as you can see inthe picture the interior pieces are beveled and cut so that theportions pressed against your wrist are rounded and comfortable -bravo! Very nice to wear. Another new idea is that the buttons areunder the fliplock, adding a bit more security against accidentallyopening the bracelet. These are small details, but they really add tothe comfort and are nice to have.Overall, I'd like to congratulate Casio: This Pathfinder is obviously evolved from its predecessors,with many improvements small and large.
