IF YOU COULD BUILD A DIGITAL WATCH FROM THE GROUND UP WHAT FEATURES WOULD YOU WANT? - clearyvt - 03-16-2004
Is there a need for a digital watch for sportsman? I've used the humminbird 'fishfinder' and found it to drain the battery in minutes. I have a Timex HLX watch and I use the barometer to trend weather, the compass is useful, but what about sunrise/set, moonphase, tidephase, etc? essentially, what features would you like to see in a digital watch?

Hi and welcome to the BFT message boards.
I would really like the tide phases more than anything. Moon phase would be a good reference as well. I do particularly like the barometer feature. That in itself can make the difference on the bite at times.

Welcome clearyvt,
Welcome to BFT and our message boards.
I would like to be able to have:
1) GPS receiver built into a 'cheap' digital wristwatch that continually gives out present position only. (they have expensive ones now I believe)
2) Again.... a 'cheap' wristwatch that had the tide tables for say 5 years for your specific area. And.. programmed to beep or flash when optimum fishing time (that you can set)is nearing.(Example: California- Oceanside)

I HAVE A CASIO THAT HAS A MOON PHASE CALCULATOR BUILT IN, IT UPDATES AT MIDNIGHT EVERY NIGHT, IT WAS LIKE 40 BUCKS....IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE TO HAVE A WATCH WITH A FISH FINDER IN IT.....THE GPS LOCATION ONLY OPTION WOULD BE NICE ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT LOST AND HAD A CELL PHONE, YOU COULD SHOUT OUT YOUR LOCATION.
LATERS,

Welcome to the BFT boards Clearyvt. What would I want, just a watch that kept the correct time continuously, changed the hour automatically for daylight savings time and could go anywhere you went. I.E. jumping from a plane, diviving from a boat, daytripping up to the top of Mount Everest. And the best feature of all would be to be able to have it come up with a really good excuse to tell your wife when you have been out fishing too long

For me, all it has to do is tell time. And even then, I'm not convinced I need that. When the fishing is hot, it doesn't matter what time it is.
Simplify, simplify, simplify.
