Casio Pathfinder PAG40 Altimeter Watch
Fragile!

I bought this watch to hopefully make it through a deployment. It was relatively cheap for an ABC watch, and was as big as a hockey puck on my wrist. It didn't look bad, either.The downfall of this watch is definitely the durability. I dropped it from ~3 feet onto tile and the screen cracked, making the watch unreadable.So the watch didn't even make it to Afghanistan; I guess I'll be sticking with Suunto.

If you haven't deployed yet, check out the Riseman GW-9200-1. It's a G-Shock version of this watch, with the solar and atomic features of the watch. All of the G-Shock durability, with similar features to this watch, except without the compass function. I added a small Suunt watchband compass to take care of that. If you've already deployed.. Godspeed, brother. I've been there.
