Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass Watch
Bottom line reason for purchase: I needed watch that can tell me the tides.
Backstory: I like to fish. All kinds of fishing, but mostly surf fishing. For any of you who also like that kind of fishing, you know that when you fish is important, and by that I mean you need to know what the tide is doing and time your arrival at the beach correctly.
In addition, my wife likes to go shelling, which means low tide is important to her success, since many shells which are normally covered at high tide reveal themselves at low tide.
I needed a tide watch and found this Timex Expedition on Amazon. It looked perfect for my needs.
Bonus that it also has an integrated compass (adjustable for declination, which I've done) and a built-in thermometer. The thermometer won't give the correct temperature when you're wearing it, naturally, since your body heat will skew the reading, but if you have it on the table in a room it works just fine. It will also give you the water temperature if you submerge the watch. It has a 100m WR rating.

That is a cool watch.

Yes! Like I mentioned to you before, the one you have is now, that I have always admired, is a vapor watch.
Yup, let's hope they release a new batch worldwide very soon. But this Timex Expedition 3-in-1 watch is super cool. Glad it directly helps your fishing. 💪
Great watch, this is a complication I like too and it’s very rare. I live on the shore and fish, so same reason!
Here’s an older RipCurl Tide/Moonphase that’s still my favorite for this, but I think I’ll be looking for that Timex -

That's really cool! What does the left dial do? I see the tide height on the right but the left dial has me stumped.

The left dial is the tide height, keyed to the moon phase.

You win! lol
What a cool feature!
Super cool! Is the dial full indiglo?

The outer ring does. The inner ring, which has the words High Tide and Low Tide, does not. Still very effective as you can imagine.

I didn't know that they're expanding the line, those look very cool. Thanks for posting that. More styles = good. 👍
