The Casio Pathfinder Triple Sensor is a multifunction mountaineering watch that gives you all of the information you need on just about any expedition.

The digital compass is one of those products you either love or hate. This one does not give an exact bearing but displays direction down to one of 16 points – enough to help you find your way off a mountain in an emergency but not substitute for a precision handheld compass.

It also has an altimeter, which is probably its most useful function, a barometer and a temperature gauge. All the other usual functions are there such as an altitude alarm, memory function and the ability to graph your altitude.

It provides pretty good value for its cost.
