What is the best surfing/tide watch?

Question

Please give answers based on experience. Thanks.

Answer 1

Back when I started to surf, I asked around and was told Nixon was a good watch to get. I can verify that now: I ended up owning three surfing watches - A Freestyle that I found dirt cheap, an older Casio surf watch given to me as a present (not a G-lide), and the best by far of them for me is my Nixon Channel-T.  It's not digital, uses a Swiss movement, and is easy to read. Plus, it looks good when you wear it to work.
