Nice one Fishton - the watches look very interesting.

Could you please tell me more about the readings and dials on them? What they represent? Thanks!

Aha - thanks KK - just wasnt sure what the top graph was.
Another stupid question probably, but with the watch on the right it looks like it indicates the tides and moonphases.

How does it know this?:addn

The Garmin E Trax has the same functions for half the price. Yes, i do not have the barometric presure, but it can give you the tides etc.

Rip curl is the only watch that guarantee the tide will be correct to 1 minute. I had 2 other watches a TIMEX and Casio for tides they all go out in the last quarter. the read 6h15 min for each high to low tide. but in last quarter on 1 day the tide will move 15 mins and the next day 1h20min and the watch can't keep that accuracy but when it comes to New moon the watch will have reset on it own and the tides will be correct until last 1\4 comes again. I never went to go but the Rip curl but i did a lot of research and they the only 1 that backs there watch according to have correct tide info for any day of the month and if its not correct the will have a look  at the watch @ the head office and test it. Set it correctly if not done so and if its faulty they will replace it.
I purchased a Casio Fishing gear watch that gives you the peak times the fish feed which would run of the calender the HUNTNFISH site uses. same concept but on a watch but it doesn't give u the tides

The 1 have is based on the same stuff but the model is ddifferent and i paid double the price when it was launched. Mine has a white dial strap slightl different

havin one of these watches would be great for knowing and monitoring the tides......but with pressure...does it really work and does it have an effect on how fish feed?.....i knw many say it does...but is there some1 here who can confirm the myths and pros about knowing wat the pressure is?

@habib,

IMHO, when it comes to pressure (Hpa), wrt the signs that REALLY affect the fish, you don't need a 'gadget' to tell you.

But when you out at sea and that pressure drops like a stone, start to make plans to get off the water!!! ;)

Hi,

I bought a RIP CURL ATS tide watch.  A really good buy for quality and style.

Although the tides are not accurate to the minute as it is an analogue movement.

Still worth a look!

Cheers
