All good advice.

I have a smart phone, but hate using it. I don't have the patience for it
even though it is a newish phone. My fingers are always activating the
wrong crap. I work with computers all day, so the last thing I want to
do is use any computer...even a mini one.


I am tempted to follow the $14 route...or at minimum pick up one of
those and another that might offer some tide specific functions.

Most of my trips are on the road, and I have found that most of the
time I end up winging tides...especially when hopping between spots.
It would be nice to have a watch that can be preset with tides at
different spots before and/or during a multiday outing. I think some
of these surfer watches have custom presets....as well as published
tide charts. I guess I will look around a bit more.

Thanks again for the input.

I made my mind up.

I am going with a Timex Men's T5E231 Ironman.

Its 45 clams and has the indiglo garbage. Big numbers so my mole
eyes can see the time. It almost gets 5 out of 5 for 452 customer
reviews on amazon.

For the price, I can treat it like a disposable.

Normally I would shell out the coin for a permanent solution...like a
Luminox, but I have never been a wrist watch person. Its hard to justify,
Probably for the cost to change the battery on a waterproof watch, I can
just buy a new timex.

Thanks for the input.
