Review of the Multi

Electro-luminescent lighting. The PAW1200 series has a nice and bright illumination function which is pretty standard on digital watches these days. It also has another feature which I've come to love on Casios: the Auto Light Switch. To activate the Auto Light Switch, hold down the illumination button for three seconds (until the watch beeps), then whenever you tilt the watch face toward you at a 40° angle or greater, the watch will automatically illuminate. And it's even smart enough to only do it when the ambient light level is low enough that you actually need it. I test drove the green model which I didn't think I'd like the color of, however it has really grown on me, and I think has actually become my favorite of the three. The Casio Pathfinder PAW100-3V has definitely become a favorite among my many Casios. I love all the features, naturally, but there's more to love about this watch than just what it can do for you. Although it's not exactly a subtle timepiece, I think Casio did an excellent job on the design. It sits very comfortably on my wrist, and does not feel nearly as large as it is. All the buttons are well placed, big, easily accessible, and provide just the right amount of feedback. The sensors in the watch, which are located on the top left-hand side of the case, are inconspicuous, and reasonably well contained. The contour of the watch works both for my skinny wrist, and on some larger wrists I strapped it to for ergonomic testing.
