Casio’s solar-powered Pathfinder watch plays the green card twice

Plotting their latest spread of watches this spring, Casio executives decided it was time to “go green.” Some poor schmuck in R&D took them at their word. Thankfully for mother nature, the Casio Pathfinder PRG110C-3 is more than meets the eye; the watch — suited for argonauts needing an altimeter, barometer, thermometer and digital compass — also has a miniature solar cell built into its face to automatically recharge the battery . Though Casio’s claim that this last will cut down on the three billion batteries Americans trash each year seems a little reaching — watch batteries last a lot longer than a AA — the timepiece does help the planet some merely by being packaged in recyclables. The $250 device will be available exclusively from Amazon, and yeah, the color you see here is the color you’ll get.
