This is an extremely easy to use watch, and it works great.  I was curious from the photos how it tells the tide/temp/compass, because I didn't see that many hands on the dial.  It turns out that the one big hand with the orange color is used for all three.  That's ok by me, because I don't need them to be used all at once, but I feel it's important to know.  Of course the tide indicator is merely based off the 6 hour cycle, but it's helpful.  Setting the watch is a little difficult, as the 'crown' or the button at the 3 oclock position has 2 pull out positions, but is very difficult to get to the first, and hard to designate which setting you're in.  (only required for initial setting of the watch).  It has a silicone strap that works great, I assume that is the reason this watch was cheaper than the other models with the same face.  People are always impressed when I show them the functions.  Definitely worth the money!
