These G-shocks have the tide, Bit on the big side though.

Thanks,
I already have a tide watch but what I'm actually looking for is a watch incorporating all 3 functions of tide, compass and sunset, sunrise. Not really interested in a watch that doesn't have all 3

What you need is a casio gulfmaster:

Always liked this one. Looks like Creation are the best value (as usual).

A lovely looking watch that I like and that's the best price I saw it at but it doesn't seem to have a sunrise sunset feature

Have you come across any examples with all 3 so far? I cant find anything other than that gshock and the nixons.

Not many reviews of the nixons online which is a shame, i cant buy anything these days without looking at a bunch of videos first.

No I haven't come across any with all 3 which is why I was hoping that someone here would know of one

That one has all 3 if you want to blow the budget.

100 (gbp) notes get tide tracker, temperature sensor and electronic compass. >

Is the sunrise/sunset option, not a tad strange or novelty to request?.

It's a not highly variable (unless lat/long changes frequently), and easily identifible buy the sky lumonisity, or by +/- 1/2mins from the day previous.
Any 'lightining up chart' (for car drivers) will also indicate that factor, and is constant every year, per location.

Moon phase would be more handy for tides and such, again easy to recall once you have a note of the years 12 FMs.

Compass is sure handy, when in the Southern Hemisphere my natural sense of direction goes askew.

The sunset sunrise option is wanted as I do a fair amount of deeer stalking during the winter months and legal shooting light is an hour after sunset and before sunrise. The other features I'll use boating during the summer on the sea and some duck shooting over the winter.
While moon phase is nice the sunset etc and tide are way more valuable to me. The compass for obvious reasons is must as a back up and the barometer is always handy for unexpected sudden weather changes especially if I'm a few miles off the coast or high up on a hill.

Guess an alarm would be the best -(1hr) from monthly (average) sunset time (pending the twice yearly gmt shift).



We'll all be glad to see a grand aul stretch in the evening from April-Oct.

Sunset sunrise indicator on watch suits me best. Last thing I need is alarms going off when trying to stalk into deer

When people say compass are they referring to an actual compass that points north at all times like on a smartphone or like the one on my Casio where you press a button, a number between 1 and 360 appears on the screen, you point that degree number on the bezel at the sun and that gives you N/S/E/W? Only works for the location you program it with at setup.

This is my Casio Tide and moon watch btw, no sunset/sunrise:
