 Moon phase is out a bit... otherwise goodSep 05, 2008
By Choppy
Good watch and easy as to set up if you read the manual (can get it online). The moon age is out by a day constantly though (which effects the tide graph), and it doesn't look like you can adjust this (it calculates from your 'home site data' and date) other than fiddling with GMT time or lunitidal interval values... which isn't ideal and probably isn't accurate either. Apart from that it's a pretty cool watch... just wish it was more accurate with the tides coz I use it for water sports. 5 alarms is good (I struggle to get up sometimes ;), auto light is handy at times. Tide graph is hard to erad when it's low tide coz the display is little. Case isn't all stainless steel either, it's plastic where the band pins join to the case which is a bummer coz it won't be as strong.

Great watch for the priceJan 14, 2008
By E. Amos

This is a lot of watch for the price! It is attractive and strudy. The band appears to be stainless steel(is marked stainless steel on the buckle part). I bought this for my husband to replace a tide watch that wore out. He is an electronics guru, but still had difficulty setting the tide segment with the provided instructions. He also wishes the tide display was larger. Now that the watch is set and he has been wearing it, he likes it very much and was shocked when I told him how little it cost. Since he uses it on our boat, we will find out whether or not the entire band is stainless.

 A Real Review by a Real and Experienced UserNov 12, 2010
By Cappy Jimbo
I am an avid kayaker and ocean fisherman, so I depend on a solid, bulletproof, waterproof watch that will give me the tide/moon relatively accurately. In sum:
You simply can't beat a Casio.
For years I owned the plastic versions of this watch, which after 24/7 use, would tend to wear out the bands or otherwise show use. This is the stainless version and it simply won't wear out.
You will read of people who have trouble adjusting the tide/moon. Not at all, it's simple. The manual will give you settings for the nearest large city. Keep in mind that your local conditions will vary - there are a number of online tide time resources where you can get your local conditions. Then simply adjust the lead time + or - (in small increments) until the watch times match your local conditions.
Very simple and quite accurate enough.
Has all of the usual Casio functions. You can wear this watch 24/7, shower with it, dive with it, the stainless just won't wear out. Battery change is not difficult. In sum, ignore the negatives you may read here - these are the people who can't set up their digital TV properly.
Enjoy! Great product, amazing price...

Cant beat for the $$Apr 21, 2008
By J. Brodeur
Does as advertised. Good looking watch that is pretty durable for the $$. Tide functions are fairly accurate. Fairly comfortable for daily wear. Sharpish edges where the band meets the crown-but not dangerous. Had a similar Casio Tide watch last year-beat on it fishing, swimming, and working in the yard. I wore it for over a year-now my 4-tear old has it...still works.

Great value for money yachting watchOct 15, 2007
By Helen Hancox
"Auntie Helen"
I decided I wanted a decent-sized yachting watch with the tide shown on it as I thought it would be handy for sailing. I looked around and discovered there are huge differences in prices for watches and as I couldn't justify spending much, after some study I ended up choosing the Casio Sea Pathfinder. Now I don't know much about brands but I do know that Casio isn't a cool brand but, hey, getting this much watch for less than twenty pounds, I couldn't complain. The Amazon price was significantly cheaper than prices in the various chandlery mail order catalogues (now there's a surprise!). Please note there is a blue strap version (the one I chose) and black strap or silver strap versions which I think are the same watch (at least the same innards) but slightly different visually.
So, what's the watch like? Firstly, I'm a woman (albeit a large one!) and some men's watches look ridiculous. This one is fine, it's got a large face but not enormously so and a curved glass top so it feels smooth. There are four large buttons, two either side, which are easy to press. The main display (usually the time) is easy to see and very clear, the tidal and lunar displays less so, although you get used to reading the watch face.
There are a number of different modes including time, dual time (i.e. two different time zones), moon (how many days into the moon), 5 alarms, stopwatch and countdown timer. Interestingly I've found myself using the countdown timer when cooking (rather than a normal cooking pinger) because it's very easy to set. In fact all of the options on the watch are easy to set - once you've found out your lunitudinal interval. This mystery number helps the watch know the tidal states but the little instruction book that comes with the watch only gives general lunitudinal interval locations, such as 'London'. Armed with a set of tide tables and the watch, I discovered that London is significantly different to Eastbourne (Sovereign Harbour) tidal times. The thing I hadn't realised before buying this watch is that you can dial in the date and time and it will tell you the tide at that point, it doesn't just tell you the tide right now, so I was able to check the calculations up till December this year. Eventually, after some googling, I found a table of lunitudinal intervals along the South Coast of England. It didn't include Eastbourne but did have some other locations and, with a little trial and error, I managed to find the best lunitudinal interval which meant my watch tides agreed mostly with the Tide Table tides. And so far the tidal display seems reasonably accurate - it's nowhere near good enough to use for sailing planning but is a helpful quick check when you're thinking about walking on the beach (will the dog be able to play in the rock pools or will they be covered up?) and for general interest.
Being a digital watch it does have the unfortunate problem that when wearing polarising sunglasses (as I do when sailing) it's hard to make out the LCD display, but this is also true for the log, depth display, radar etc on the boat and isn't the fault of the watchmaker, just something to bear in mind.
Battery life is supposedly 10 years but most people will be bored with the watch by then and have moved onto the next one. The light lights up the face in the dark (what more do you need), the beeps for the alarms are loud enough to wake me, the watch overall seems perfectly adequate and it looks good. I think if I'd paid fifty pound I would have been very happy, for less than twenty it's a complete bargain. Go for it!
