Model Casio Watch

Casio Titanium Path finder Watch

 I think the Casio watch was model PRT700NT-7AV. The Casio watch has many  features : It measures barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature. Here are  some specs:The Barometer (range 13.55inHg to 32.45 inHg, display unit 0.05 inHg) takes  barometric pressure readings every 2 hours and stores up to 10 sets of readings  with the altitude and temperature in memory. The Thermometer (range 14F to 140F,  display unit 0.2) checks the temperature once every 5 minutes. The Altimeter  (range -2300 ft to 19,680 ft., 20 ft. increments) takes altitude readings every  2 minutes, displays them and stores them in memory. With the Auto Light Switch  on, simply tilting your wrist 40 degrees toward you from the horizontal position  illuminates the EL backlight for about 2 seconds. Analog and digital  timekeeping. 12/24 hour formats. 1/100 second stopwatch. Hourly time signal.  Daily alarm. Countdown timer. 100M water resistant.Sounds pretty groovy, right? Well, there is some titanium. The back of the  watch case is stainless steel. Much of the front of the watch is black plastic.  Worse, the interface between the watch and the band is black plastic. There is  the conventional pin between the watch and the plastic thingy, then another pin  connecting the plastic thingy to the titanium band. The clasp of the band is  conventional, with a secondary clasp to hold the clasp shut.Now for the problems. There are two models, one of which has a backlight for  the entire watch face, and another with a backlight only for the two small LCD  displays. I got the second one, not realizing there were two different models,  which is pretty useless. I am used to the Timex .
backlight, and found the Casio  one very .dim.What is worse, is that under normal use, I had the primary clasp of the band  open. The band didn't come off, but it might have. Also under normal use, the  pin between the watch and the cheapo plastic thingy connecting to the band  opened. This made the watch fall off. This is completely unacceptable, as a  watch that falls off is pretty useless for outdoor use.Also unclear until I bought the watch is that the 10 readings the watch  stores must be taken manually, not automatically. The readings every 5 minutes  for temperature are not stored anywhere. Check the owners manual before buying a  Casio watch

 I  bought the original Decision Maker watch. It was too small  for me, but otherwise very cute. I was looking at TokyoFlash and saw the OVO Ana Digi watch.  I asked them if they had a copy of the owners manual they could send me (which  they didn't). I asked them if it was for larger wrists than the Decision Maker  (which they didn't know). It looked like an interesting watch (and they sent me  a discount coupon) so I decided to buy it.It is much more sedate looking than the

Decision Maker. It actually fits my  wrist quite well. It would be nice if the band was a bit bigger, but I can  secure the strap. The strap is black rubber and integrated into the watch, so it  cannot be replaced. The watch doesn't have any flashing LED's, nor does it make  a bunch of silly sounds. It doesn't even have shake sensors, or weird screens  (anti-virus, memory scan, etc.) like the Decision Maker does.It does have a decent backlight, which the Decision Maker lacked. It has  analog hands as well as a digital display (which can be turned off). It has a  timer, 2 alarms, a chronograph, world time and a decision maker function. I am  not sure how many cities are listed with world time, but I would r.
guess more than  20. I don't even recognize the name of some of the cities. The decision maker  function is much more sedate than the Decision Maker watch, and just gives  advice. You can even set the time to 24 hour mode (which I like).The watch does use two batteries, one for the analog watch and one for the  digital watch. Hopefully the batteries will last a reasonably long time. For me,  this one is a keepe
