The simplistic structure gives this timepiece amazing versatility, meaning that you can wear it at all hours, not just on the water!

Specifications
Now, for those fishing addicts, you’ll know that the moon and the tide phases MATTER if you want to get the fish biting. Casio is listening, and has packed this watch full with moon data and a tide graph. To go into the nitty gritty - tide and moon phase functions are imperative if you are fishing in waters that are affected by the tide, as this will determine where the fish are and ultimately where you should go. While you can easily access tide charts on your phone, having them right there on your wrist is a handy feature that will let you adjust your trip as needed.
To access this tool, go to the screen labelled ‘fish’, which will show a value out of 5, starting with no values highlighted to all values highlighted. The more that are filled out, the better the fishing should be - theoretically. We can’t guarantee the accuracy of the best fishing spots, however, the watch does well to determine a rising tide, which is prime fishing time.
The moon phase window will tell you whether it is a full moon, quarter moon, half moon, three-quarter moon or new moon based on how much of the display is blacked out. The darker the display, the less moon you will see in the sky.
For low lighting, enjoy an LED light along with a selectable illumination duration of 1.5 or 3 seconds so that you can customise the piece to work best for you. There is also a soft afterglow which is useful for night fishing to ensure that you are always in control.
Not only this, but enjoy the whole range of Casio watch functions such as:
-
Countdown timer
-
Multi-function alarms
-
Full auto-calendar
-
12/24 hour format
-
Hourly time signal
-
10-year battery life

I think that the features of this watch speak for themselves, and there’s no doubt that this Casio piece knows its audience.
