Suunto Core vs Casio Pathfinder Part 1

An in-depth comparison between the Suunto Core and Casio Pathfinder (PAG40-3V), two outdoor watches with similar features.

Corrections:
I keep calling the Casio the "G-Shock" in this video and I think it's actually known as the Pathfinder.

Also, the Pathfinder is rated water resistant to 10 bar which is 100m or about 300ft. The Suunto is rated water resistant to 100ft but only records depth to about 30ft. As with all water resistant watches, they shouldn't be taken to their maximum rated depth. The Suunto uses a third of its depth rating as a working limit, which seems like a good rule of thumb.

nice review but your voice puts me to sleep

@dlegeant77 The ""OPEN" indicated means the dealer did in fact open the watch. They probable lost one or both of the contact springs that makes connectiont to the back cover. Without those the circuit is open. I doubt the dealer was an official casio dealer.

thanks i know which brand i will buy now.

@mecover I appreciate your service and your feedback. It sounds like I can stick by my "Suunto Core is like an Audi. Casio Pathfinder is like a Toyota" analogy.

[mecover]

@nikudes The Suunto will not hold up. I have had both watches. The Suunto bezel will completely wear off in contact with clothes, the bezel scratches in contact with grit in the air and the band will not support even casual use. The Casio, uglier , harder to read and not as accurate will last a lifetime.

Comming from two tours of Iraq, S.A., and 6 years of missions with the Casio. Semper Fi.

@i8Europe Well, I thought it was a fair comparison given the similar feature set, though I agree that they are in different leagues. I think the analogy I used was Toyota vs Audi. One's tough and basic and gets the job done. The other is sleeker, has more features, but also has its quirks. Glad you liked the video anyway.

@i8Europe Why not? The Casio in this case is better or at the very least very competitive against the Suunto even though it's much cheaper. You can't even see anything on the Core..
