I’m debating getting a 5700 when my current 5600 gives up the ghost.If you want to wear a watch while surfing this is the one to buy:
They run around $40 - $80 depending on the retailer. And they last. It's an actual watch that was made to be used in the water and take a beating. It's a but of a cult thing I've come to realize over the years - anytime someone sees me wearing it who has the same watch they'l comment - "Best watch ever, right?"
If you surf a lot those surf brand watches will maybe last you a year at beast...more likely 3 - 6 months. Forget about them lasting through bigger powerful waves. They're actually not designed for surfing or being in the water - those in the know have told me they're basically fashion watches made to shitty standards in fashion watch factories in China.
Don't get me started on the hassle that comes from making a warranty claim or getting a watch fixed from fashion "surf" watch companies like Nixon or Freestyle. UTTER JOKE.
You can get the tide anywhere - your phone, your computer, a paper tide table so you don't need it on your watch.
Excellent points! I still like having the tide right... Bam. There. See, I just checked the tide while I was typing this. It's, uh, somewhere between high and low. Pretty sure.If you want to wear a watch while surfing this is the one to buy:

Good suggestions, thanks. Is that last one really $700? :0. The reason I haven't bought one of the Rip Curls is because the tide display seems to me to be subtly less useful than the Nixon, as far as I can tell. On the Nixon, the dark and light coloring indicates daylight hours. On the Rip Curl, the dark/light coloring seems to only indicate rising or falling tide, which is redundant information due to the graph and my mad skills in trigonometry.... oh, and I had one analogue Nixon watch, the the minute arm physically fell off its axle inside the watch.
RipCurl does a Rifles watch which seems good. I have a Ripcurl analogue titanium watch that's lasted since forever.
