Strap an indispensible tool for outdoor adventure on to your wrist. Casio combined the best elements of its Pathfinder and Sea Pathfinder lines to produce the Pathfinder PAW1500T Altimeter Watch, which features a host of advanced features complement the core Triple Sensor functions—altimeter, digital compass, and barometer/thermometer. All this technology is incorporated into an elegant, durable titanium case and band.
Altimeter displays current altitude, graphs altitude position, and stores up to 24 records
Barometer/thermometer displays pressure readings, and graphs weather trends for up to 20 hours, and displays current temperature
Compass measures and displays one of sixteen directions at the push of a button, and includes magnetic declination correction
Multi-band atomic timekeeping receives time calibration from radio signals to ensure utmost accuracy
Solar-powered battery can function for up to five months after a full charge without exposure to light
Tide and moon functions offer critical data in easy-to-read graphs
Countdown timer enables you to get off to a good start in races, and it includes a stopwatch that tracks splits and final times
World time tracker displays the time in 29 time zones and 33 cities
Fully automatic calendar tracks days and dates through 2099; sunrise and sunset data is available for any date
Three-layer protective structure provides 20-bar water resistance and seals out fine particles that can damage watch mechanism
Bottom Line: Essential support gear for outdoor adventure.

The Barometer... In the USA, all the radio and TV stations give barometer readings in Inches Hg. However, internationally, the units are Millibars. Does the Casio line restrict barometric readings to In. Hg? Or, does it allow you to switch/select the units?
As Phil posted, it will display in either measurement and is a little tricky to change. The manual is about a 1/2" thick but it is listed in there on how to do this. The altimeter bothered me more because the default is in meters and I still prefer feet.
It displays in either US or metric units throughout all it's measurement functions. The reading will be in hectoPascals (hPa). 1 hPa is equal to 1 millibar.
I bought this watch to replace my Suunto Vector. So far, I'm in love with it. I haven't yet used it on a mountaineering trip, but have travelled with it and have used it for 3 months in Afghanistan. These are the things I love about it:
Solar power--My Suunto battery died on a trip one time and I was instantly screwed
World Time Tracker--I'm currently in Afghanistan, my wife is in Japan, and my mom lives in Kansas...knowing what time to call them has never been easier
20-bar water resistance--As my Aussie dive instructor commented about my Suunto..."You have an adventurer watch which you can't take down in the water?"
Metal Case/scratchproof face--My Suunto was plastic and the face scratched too easily...this watch is tough and looks good as well
One negative is that the alarm volume is low and it only goes off for like 5 seconds. If you're wrapped up tight in your sleeping bag, it doesn't make a very good wake-up alarm. But, my Suunto suffered from this as well.
The second negative is that the backlight doesn't stay on long enough. If you're trying to do something which requires several button pushes, you're repeatedly required to turn the light back on.
The last thing I'll add is that the Suunto came with a handy quick-reference card while this watch only came with the huge manual. I would love a quick-reference card to put in my wallet.
