The Ultimate Casio Pathfinder: the PAW1200T

View the Seiko SKA367 photo gallery.One of the things I enjoy about wearing Seikos is that there's so much to discover post-purchase. Often, a watch will have a coherent style that you find you enjoy long after it originally caught your eye. Let's take a closer look at a mid-line Seiko Diver to see what I mean.Meet the Seiko SKA367, a yellow-faced Kinetic quartz dive watch with a typical complement of features:Waterproof to 200m (660ft).Stainless steel case with Hardlex mineral crystal.Quick-set and quick-change date window at 3 o'clock.Power reserve button to check battery level.Six month power reserve if not worn, with low-battery warning.Screwdown crown and caseback.48mm wide by 15mm high.Stainless steel bracelet with dive extension (also available with a rubber strap). The only real disadvantage is that the backlight is slightlymore difficult to activate in the corner, and you have one less buttonto use to interact with what amounts to a pretty complicated digital watch. Givenmy choice, I would rather see it in it's familiar G-Shock position on the band,freeing up the top right button for more important functions. The intensity of the backlight is sufficient. It can be set to active for eithertwo or three seconds, depending on how stingy you are with your battery. It can alsobe configured to auto-illuminate when the solar sensors in the watch detect thatit is too dark for you to see the face, and when it is tilted toward your face (about40 degrees).
