As big Pathfinder fans here at WatchReport, we're happy to report that the new PAW-5000-1 will ship this April for $450. Departing somewhat from the dominant style of "mostly digital face", the new model sports a reduced-size digital screen and more dive-watch-style face. Somehow, it works for us. Casio PR has promised to try and get us a review unit, so keep an eye out for a full review. Here's a list of specifications to pique your interest in the meantime:Tough solar power.Six-band radio set timekeeping.Water resistant to 100m (330ft).Plastic case, urethane band.Triple sensor (temperature, altimeter/barometer, compass).Resistant to low temperatures.New tough movement, as seen in the GS-1200 and the MTG-1500, where it can check and correct the position of the hands. A very cool piece of engineering.The second hand doubles as a compass needle. Dual time allows you to specify a second time zone in addition to your home location which you can optionally display on the lower LCD. This is extremely useful for those of us who work with people in other time zones and need to be able to watch both time zones simultaneously (without changing modes). World time. Unlike dual time, world time is its own separate mode which supports 48 cities (29 different time zones), and shows the date as well as the time. You can also hold down the upper left and right buttons simultaneously while in world time mode to swap your world time city with your home city. This is very useful for people who frequently travel between two time zones. Once the two cities are swapped, the watch will automatically start receiving whichever time calibration signal is appropriate for the new home time.
