from: Britta Rehme, watch expert
Do you love the feeling of the sun on your skin, the sound of the waves on the beach, and the salt on your lips? Surfing is more than just a sport – it's a lifestyle. To stay in tune with the action, you need the right surf watch. Waterproof, shockproof, and with practical features like tide and moon phase displays. In this article, you'll learn everything you need to know about surf watches, their technology and styles, as well as our top recommendations from the world of CASIO.
What are surf watches and why do you need one?
Surf watches are specifically designed for surfing, providing you with essential information right on your wrist. Surfing isn't just the perfect blend of sport, nature, and adventure; it's also a challenge where you always want to stay on top of things. With the right surf watch, you can better plan and enjoy your sessions.
Important features of surf watches
Surfing places high demands on your surf watch. That's why it should not only be waterproof but also shockproof to withstand waves and falls. Waterproof surf watches are often pressure-resistant up to 20 bar – that's equivalent to a depth of 200 meters! So you can jump into the water without worrying about your watch....
Other useful features offered by surf watches include:
- Tide graph: This lets you see when high and low tide occur – super handy for catching the best surf times.
- Moon data: The moon influences the tides and helps you plan your sessions even better.
- Sunrise and sunset display: So you never miss the perfect time for your surf session.
- Shock resistance: Surfing in the ocean can be rough – a robust, shock-resistant watch can withstand the elements.
- Smartphone connectivity: Some models offer the option to sync your data via an app.
Style and functionality go hand in hand here – because surf watches need to look good too, especially on the beach. So you're not only perfectly equipped, but you'll also look great!
