Now that I have it in my hands I'm torn with this Gulfmaster. I started thinking about a new watch last month, bonus on its way :-) I've been sure I wanted to get an ABC watch for my more 'outdoors side', the functions seemed great for my needs, but what sold it was the tide function and it's a G-Shock. So I pulled the trigger on one.So to the watch:Looks…I liked it, the blue bezel looks good except the strange over/under numbers; I was led to believe the blue is only meant for the Japanese market, a pinch of salt is probably needed with that one.Still a little worried that the bezel will pick up dents and scuffs over time.Crystal face – Highly reflective,in some conditions you cannot read the watch without doing a wrist dance.Dial – A little confused and overly complicated, CASIO, any need for the City's to be around the edge they could have been shown on the LED, the Tide/Baro inner dial not as readable as I would have hoped.Lume – It’s one of the biggest issues I have with this watch, part missing at digits 5,6,7,9,11, 10 (almost all gone), I found it hard to find the orientation of the hands during the night and it doesn’t glow for long, this along with the quite alarm precludes it from a 'bedside clock' function.The strap is a disappointment, hard to describe, it soft and comfortable, but after wearing NATO, steel and leather it just feels a little ‘cheap’ I just wish I could swap it out.Usability…I haven’t tried all the functions yet, but here are my views on the ones I have.The Manual – downloaded the PDF in the end just for readability, confusing and very bad at explaining the functions correctly, if at all.Alarm is very quiet don’t expect it to wake you from a heavy slumber or hear it on deck at sea.Tide Graph - Unfortunately the "Tide Graph" isn't a tide graph at all but is a tiny half dial indicator in the upper left quadrant of the watch face that shows a swing from low too high too low over a very small arc of movement. This will certainly not satisfy anyone who needs tidal information, hence my second disappointment.CASIO, what marketing guru told you a 60-minute limit to countdown timer is fine on an ABC watch, it isn’t.Moon Age - If you're a werewolf it's very practical countdown timer (+/- one day). Even though the watch uses this info to determine tide heights, I would have preferred a moon phase display in the LED segment.Upon reading through the module 5371 document:No maximum / minimum altitude.No cumulative ascent / descent.No RECORD mode.No altitude record of duration, date, and time.Does this matter to you?I couldn’t find this watch at any local dealers to check it out, and it isn’t faulty so I won’t send it back, the supplier was cheaper than elsewhere and it was delivered very quickly, so not their fault I am torn with this watch. I must say I glad I didn't pay the full UK retail price for this watch.Update:Just found out that CASIO have launched the new GWN-Q1000 looks like they have addressed some of the issues, certainly the dial looks cleaner. I should pack my watch up and flip it. Oh well back to my trusty Seiko.Update: 21/07 - I found during hot weather the strap makes my wrist sweat. I am now going to flip this watch, I cannot live with it's flaws any longer.A sad day.
