Finally got it! August 29, 2008
Finally received my watch. At first it was not delivered and Amazon kindly offered to send a replacement. Thankfully my freight forward finally managed to locate it, about a month later.
I got this watch to accompany me for my kayaking and fishing.
Anyhow, the watch works as advertised. The watch is actually lighter that it looks, though it does look rather chunky on my wrist. Chunky is good! It arrived in a "Auto Display" mode, so that means it'll be switching screens around and you won't be able to do anything else until you turn it off. Look out for a little blue instruction sheet tucked inside the manual to deactivate the auto display. Getting up and started is relatively easy, just follow the booklet and all will be over in about 10 minutes or so.
As another user has commented, its a little off from the tide readings, about an hour or so be generally still gives you a good tidal indication. Barometer and temperature works best if its not on your hand for awhile and allowing it to cool to the ambient temperature. The barometer was spot on when I got it, it rained not long after it detected a drop in barometric pressure.
Overall, would recommend for this watch for the price range that it is in. Its functions and its data gives you a good indication of weather and tide. So have fun with it, I'm off kayaking with my new toy.!
 This watch is TOO BIG July 17, 2008

When people say this watch is big.. they mean REALLY BIG HUGE. Did I mention this watch is a Gigantic Super sized.. MEGLADON? This watch makes my SUV look small. Don't try paddling a kayak with this watch on unless you like making unintentional left hand circles. Additionally, the tidal feature is worthless for the Texas coast.

The Casio tide watch was not as precise as my husband anticipated it to be. He specifically wanted the watch so he could tell the tides at a glance, not try to calculate what they may be within 2-3 hours.
 Excellent watch with room for improvement July 15, 2008
I bought this watch for yacht racing and kayaking. The most important features for me are the timer and the tide chart. Compass is very handy as a backup device.
Downsides:
a. The tide indicator is mighty approximate. It would be very nice if you could manually enter the time of high tide for one or more favorite harbors and then have the watch compute the tides from then on and display the high and low tides digitally. Currently, the best you can do is "about an hour from high tide" or "the tide should be going out".
b. The button for reading the barometer is situated so that it can be pressed accidentally by flexing the wrist. 50% of the time when I glance at the watch, I get a barometric pressure instead of the time. Not convenient when counting down the seconds before a start. This issue could easily be solved by making the barometer a "press twice within one second" switch.
c. Given that they've got a barometer in the watch, would it have hurt to make it an altimeter as well? Some of us sailors go on the occasional hike or skiing expedition too.
The watch is big and I occasionally get the "that's the largest watch I've ever seen" comment, but so what? Lots of info is immediately available and it's in sufficiently large type that I don't have to squint.
Manly man's watch June 23, 2008
A great big, chunky, manly man watch. Just what my husband wanted. And the numbers are big enough so he can see them easily. I love that it tells the temperature and has a compass, but on different screens so I don't have to distinguish between a half-dozen little dials on the face.
