    Yeah, I believe DST should be always selected. When I got the watch I opened that little folded up instruction book and to me the instructions weren't clear as day. I just played around with it and figured it out. But, once you get the hang of it...switching between beaches should be a breeze.

    I have been looking to get one. I have a tide clock at my house but that don't help when I'm out or going to a different beach. Just like to know if you got them on line or where they sell them and about how much. I assume you can wear them in the water. For all the parking tickets I got from forgetting what time it was to put money in the meters I could have bought the Rollex version.

    You can get them online or pretty much at any surf shop. I forget what I paid. But, yeah they are waterproof.

    dude its def worth the money its water proof and very durable. its looks realy nice to. theres also a cheaper version its called the lowdown. i originally got that one but it is a little cheap looking and i was lookingb for something to wear all the time. it would be a perfect surfing/ beach watch but the Outsider is def more of an allaround everyday watch.

    Can that even be done? I didn't see that as an option. But, if it can let me know what's up.

    Thanks for your help. I went on Nixons site. The Decision & Channel look good but a little pricey. The Outsider seens to be the best deal. Thanks, again.
