As someone else said... get the Ripcurl Trestles Tide watch. It's cool looking, has local tides and is durable. You can get them every once in a while on WM for like 50/60 dollars.
My vote goes to G-Shock, it's always in the water with me and never an issue. I've had mine for about 8 years, replaced the battery and band once.
In the late 70's my wife got me a watch advertised in Surfer. It came packaged in a jar of water. First time wearing it, at the most crowded area in VB, I had a guy drop in on me flailing his arms. He hit my wrist, the watch popped off and is probably still functioning by the jetty.
Rip Curl. I have 4.

With the stainless band, and screws attaching the band to the crown. It's a tank, never needs winding or batteries and since it's atomic, it updates itself with atomic time every early morning. You won't be sorry.

This is an awesome story. IF there is ever a day that the water isn't brown, I'm goin' treasure huntin'Quote:

I also have a SS Freestyle that I won at a surf movie raffle. I like that one too. I tend to wear that one when I surf more because the RIP CURL has a lot of sentimental value and I would crap if I lost it.

Very basic, but comfortable and have had it for years. No problems
