As I read the article this is exactly what I wished the watch could do, and I wondered if there are any around which do it.
I have a free diving watch and always wondered… Why doesn’t it support tides? If even approximately? I wrote a script to check DFO tides once per week and alert me to potentially good diving conditions (cross referenced with the 2 week weather forecast; it’s not super reliable), but I’d love to have a read out of the tide right on my watch.
I guess I could do this with my Apple Watch, but I’m so burned out on that ecosystem.
- rsaz 2y agoCasio has a few watches with tide functionality in their G-Shock line. Bit more expensive than the F91W, but still great watches. They’re marketed to surfers, often under the G-LIDE name. Here’s a thread about some of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/gshock/comments/18jpgq5/casio_gshock_tide_function/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gshock/comments/18jpgq5/casio_gshoc...
- nradov 2y agoGarmin Descent series watches have free diving activity profiles and support tides. It kind of "cheats" by downloading tide data from Garmin servers via a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone so it's not doing any tide calculations on the device. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/766516/pn/010-02604-01#specs https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/766516/pn/010-02604-01#specs
