Timex 智商潮

I started looking for another watch when (luckily) my daily wearer was left in a campsite shower room and returned by some kindly soul during one of our sailing days away.
So I wanted something less risky (price wise) and something that was useful sailing. And knowing when high tide is at Poole Harbour is top of the useful list.
So how did the Timex fare...
For telling the time-all of them do that. Accurate and easy to read
For telling the tide - you adjust to the tide at your location and it carries on telling you what the water is doing. Simple and efficient. There are not many alternatives and all others work on a computer database. The Times is simple and reliable.
For telling you other things - the temperature and compass. Again work fine so overall if you are lost at sea you know which way to go, what the tide is doing and how cold you are. Handy.
For looks and build - pretty good actually. Far better than the price tag would suggest.
Any down sides - not really. The glowing face could be brighter but that is minor.
In conclusion - am I a happy sailor...Oh yes 'me hearties.

I don't think there is a better looking, more stylish and even quite practical watch on the market for this price at the moment!

I had a Tag Heuer Limited Edition Mercedes SLR which was over 10 times the price. This watch looks just as good! Value for money.

The Compass works really well and the Indiglo works a charm at night. The temperature gauge does run a bit higher than it should do around 5 to 10 degrees too high! The tide monitor, errm, I don't go to the beach much or sail a boat so I can't tell you if this works well or not.

The best thing was that First Class Watches do a price match guarantee and they matched mine with another online shop. Plus I ordered Friday morning and I received the Watch Special Delivery the next day on Saturday morning! Delivery was included free with the watch. Amazing!

I will always buy my watches from here from now on!

I bought this watch for my brother, who sails and is very conscious of style. He loves it! It's very big and heavy, which is apparently a good thing, and he's found the tide function really useful. Despite looking quite complicated, he says it is very easy to use. Not sure the temperature function is that useful but is an added gadget.
