Rip Curl Digital Method Oceantide 17146 watch

Rip Curl Digital Method Oceantide 17146 watch

What is it:
This water-resistant Rip Curl watch looks good in and out of the water, but the real killer is its digital tide readings, which you can program to different beaches.

Why you need it:
There's nothing worse than pulling up to the beach to find the pull of the moon has ruined the surf. Know before you go with the Rip Curl Method watch and its digital tide charts. Unfortunately, a receding water line doesn't always translate into great waves--bring along the Archos AV320 to watch surf videos while you wait for the real thing to pick up.

How to pack it:
Pocket Backpack Suitcase
Dimensions (H x W x D):
10 by 1.6 by 0.5 inches

Weight:
3.2 ounces
