So the tide feature on the G-shock is pretty much useless to me, but since the Lodown is pre-programmed for more complex tides in the gulf and Caribbean, it seems like the only option for me if I want a tide watch.

All the features you'd expect from a G-shock, plus it has a vibrating option for the alarms (including countdown) which I love. Casio GW400J.

Nixon is better know for fashion watches than hard use watches. I'm not commited to the Nixon yet and will look at an analog tide watch soon. I've thought about the Freestyle you describe, but like the more graphic display better. Thanks! Jon Says: “Nixon’s look nice but get poor reviews for durability.”

The newer Freestyle version of the watch you have pictured is very nice--it does away with the tide graphic and has a simpler vertical marker to tell how close to high or low you are (and then has a more detailed screen for future tides). Also, it's possible to easily change between a number of locations. I found it very useful on a recent trip. Nixon’s look nice but get poor reviews for durability.

I came to the same conclusion about the Nixon Lodown watch when I wrote about it sometime ago: http://ablogtoread.com/watch-buying/simple-surfer-the-nixon-lodown-is-an-ideal-tide-watch-and-surfers-companion/ Cool that we are on the same wavelength! Take care. John,
