I have had this watch for about two months now, and am quite happy with it. Compared to my old watch (a very cheap Casio) it is much better.
There are several points, specifically, that attracted me to this watch:

1. Its overall durability. The strap, for instance, instead of connecting directly to the body, connects to a little hinge that prevents it from being broken off(the way it did on my old watch).
2. Multiple alarms (5, to be exact). Very useful for when you need to store several times.
3. 24 hour count-down timer. Useful for all sorts of little things.
4. Solar power and auto-synchronization. No more batteries to worry about (although people in more northerly latitudes will probably have to give it an occaisional boost with indoor lighting), and you know that it's never far off from the correct time(according to the product specs, it's accurate to about a half second per day, so even if you can't synchronize every night, it's no big deal). I haven't had too much trouble with getting it to synchronize each night, either. As long as it points towards a window, it seems to be fine.
5. The barometer, altimeter, and thermometer are nice extras, although I don't rely too much on what they say. You can calibrate them to be more exact, but I haven't really felt a need to do so. The barameter readout of the pressure over the last few hours is handy, as it can inform you of a low pressure system moving in.

Overall, I found this watch to be just what I expected, a sturdy watch with enough extra functions (stopwatch, timer, alarms, etc) to be useful, without becoming so complicated you need a degree to use it. Its size is a good fit for my medium-sized wrist, and is relatively unobtrusive. Congrats to Casio for making a such a great product.

Great "Little" watch! - C. Evans - Pacifica,CA USA
I had always been hesitant about buying a multipurpose watch because of the size of them, (difficult to fit under a sleeve and sticks out so far and gets hit a lot in everyday life) but I really wanted the altimeter and other functions available. This watch isn't much larger than a standard one, doesn't stick out too far and is actually pretty good looking! I really like the Atomic portion, never have to set it and the Solar is nice too, never change batteries, not to mention, I can even see it in bright sunlight with no problem. Great "Little" watch!

Best Pathfinder deal - T. Schmidt - Germany
This is the best price you'll find for a watch that has these features. It works great! Even the atomic clock function works great in Germany. The barameter function is spot on every time I check it with airport altimeter settings. Great buy!

Good for outdoor - Anton Umnitsyn -
Great watch for any outdoor activety. I'm use it in caves and have not any problem. Get deep of cave via altimeter and know weather for next day.

Poor service - Michael O'Connell -
I had 2 major problems when my Casio PAW500 watch arrived. One was that the alarm and timer emitted no sound, and other was that the altimeter varied by over 100 feet as I stood still and took successive readings.

But the major problem is repair and support. Their web site forces you to choose the problem from a list, but my problem wasn't there. When the watch was returned, same problem, so I sent it back. The web site tracking system that Casio has showed a mismatched combo of the first repair trip and the second one, and they emailed me that the watch was fine and was being returned. I waited a week and emailed them to find out why I didn't have the watch, and they told me that it had just been sitting there. If I hadn't asked about it, it would probably still be sitting on their shelf somewhere. When I finally got it back, I tested the alarm signal, and finally realized that the tone was so weak that I could barely hear it if I held the watch to my ear. And my hearing is fine. They also told me that the altimeter operated within specifications.

I've bought my last Casio product.
