Where have all the good waves gone? Nixon's Lowdown watch will tell you: "

Next time you have a hankerin' to catch some surf, Nixon's Lowdown watch can tell you exactly where to go. Tide information for 200 beaches all over the world is onboard, predicting the best times to tackle those waves. The data's supposedly good for 15 years, so if you don't lose it, you could be using the lowdown to target your surfing in 2022.



Water-resistant to about 300 feet, the Lowdown doesn't need to come off when it's time to get wet. And you can pick your favorite color from black, silver, and off white with blue trim. Even if the data doesn't work so well a few years out, it'll still make a cool conversation piece to help meet beach bunnies/bums, and hey, it's a watch, too. The Farmer's Almanac for the surfing set costs $90.
