 This watch is TOO BIGJul 17, 2008
When people say this watch is big.. they mean REALLY BIG HUGE. Did I mention this watch is a Gigantic Super sized.. MEGLADON? This watch makes my SUV look small. Don't try paddling a kayak with this watch on unless you like making unintentional left hand circles. Additionally, the tidal feature is worthless for the Texas coast.

The Casio tide watch was not as precise as my husband anticipated it to be. He specifically wanted the watch so he could tell the tides at a glance, not try to calculate what they may be within 2-3 hours.
 Excellent watch with room for improvementJul 15, 2008
I bought this watch for yacht racing and kayaking. The most important features for me are the timer and the tide chart. Compass is very handy as a backup device.
Downsides:
a. The tide indicator is mighty approximate. It would be very nice if you could manually enter the time of high tide for one or more favorite harbors and then have the watch compute the tides from then on and display the high and low tides digitally. Currently, the best you can do is "about an hour from high tide" or "the tide should be going out".
b. The button for reading the barometer is situated so that it can be pressed accidentally by flexing the wrist. 50% of the time when I glance at the watch, I get a barometric pressure instead of the time. Not convenient when counting down the seconds before a start. This issue could easily be solved by making the barometer a "press twice within one second" switch.
c. Given that they've got a barometer in the watch, would it have hurt to make it an altimeter as well? Some of us sailors go on the occasional hike or skiing expedition too.
The watch is big and I occasionally get the "that's the largest watch I've ever seen" comment, but so what? Lots of info is immediately available and it's in sufficiently large type that I don't have to squint.
Manly man's watchJun 23, 2008
A great big, chunky, manly man watch. Just what my husband wanted. And the numbers are big enough so he can see them easily. I love that it tells the temperature and has a compass, but on different screens so I don't have to distinguish between a half-dozen little dials on the face.

Sea Pathfinder SPF40-1VJun 03, 2008
Excellent watch--except for the size and setting the Luni-Tidal Interval. The instructions in the manual are not at all intuitive and I spent a couple of hours two days in a row talking to Casio Customer Service to help set the watch up for local tides. No one in the tech shop seemed to know which variables to plug in the formula listed in the owner's manual. I finally figured out a better, simpler way of calculating the LT Interval on my own. The tides are accurate but not precise, due to the 6-hour time increments on the tide graph. It it still excellent as a handy general tide reference. There is also no capability of predicting tide more than about 6 or 12 hours ahead of time.
The temperature function is only accurate when the watch is removed from the wrist.
The barometer is a cool function and it graphs over a 24 hour period to show trends.
I've not yet had to replace any of the four batteries, but I imagine this will be a royal pain when the time comes.
All in all it is a great package of information available on your wrist. The watch is durable and functional.
