Nixon the Mission Review

yeah, I have a hard enough time focusing at work without my watch telling me the waves are firing, so.....

 

Where is it getting the wave height data from? There are so many surf breaks without any nearby buoy. Swellinfo is showing wave height data for Delaware from a buoy 100+ miles away...is your watch smarter than SI?

 

I was looking at those watches recently, could not decide if I wanted one, but I don't like huge watches. I have a G shock but a smaller size. So thanks for the report, I am now sure spending the money on one is not for me.

 

Just get a SharkTide Watch, like $55, it's basic but it has the tides pre-programmed in for all over the world. Nothing metal to attract fish, all black, nothing to be upset about if it gets lost or breaks eventually. It's inexpensive, simple and functional. And believe it or not I get compliments on it from time to time, which doesn't matter to me, but it lets you know it doesn't look bad either.

 

Okay--I will google them and look at it; might be a good travel watch.

 

I just get the very basic one for $55, there are others for more, but not worth it to me. Just to tell time and know what the tide is doing at all times.

 

Hey man, do you know what time it is?

 

You're that guy in the water? lol

 

Nahhhhh brah I tell time by the Sun

 

Always tell them its 30-45 minutes later than the actual time. They'll leave sooner.

 

Wow!! Good fvcking idea!!!
Why didn't I think of that??!!??
I must be a moron!!!

 

a moron really

o papa

 

Right on brah HAHA

For sure, tell em tide just killed it too.

 

Hey bagus, man...what's happening. Good to hear you are still alive!!

 

Nixon are junk and the prices they try to charge for some of their watches are laughable. I've owned 3 and none of them lasted more than a year or two. Even a higher end one. Then they want you to pay a fee before they will even look at them to see if they can be repaired under warranty, which most of the times they are not. Company sucks.
Better off with a $25 Shark/Freestyle to tell the time in the water if you need it. If you want a real watch, but a Tag or something of good quality.

 

My Casio G Shock works just fine. Paid $65 for it about 6 years ago and it works marvelously. Good on the tides as well. Doesn't give exact tidal times but pretty accurate whether tide is rising or ebbing...
