Built for the Break
The Nixon High Tide Watch is a dedicated surf watch engineered around the information surfers actually need. Its custom digital module pairs a front-lit, high-resolution MLCD screen with 550 pre-programmed surf locations, delivering precise tide, sun, and moon data for your favorite breaks. When the water matters, this watch keeps you in the know without pulling out your phone.
High-Resolution MLCD Display
The High Tide's screen is the clearest Nixon has put on a surf watch. The front-lit MLCD (Memory Liquid Crystal Display) renders sharp, high-contrast digits that are easy to read in direct sunlight, in low light, and everywhere between. The home screen is fully customizable so you can surface the data that matters most to your session at a glance.
Tide, Sun, and Moon Data On Your Wrist
With 550 pre-programmed locations loaded at the factory, the High Tide delivers precise tide predictions, next high and low times, tide height, sunrise/sunset, and moon phase without needing a connection to a phone or app. This is the core function that defines a true surf watch: always-on, always-accurate local tide information before you paddle out.
Durability Designed Like a Wetsuit
Nixon built the High Tide around the same philosophy as a high-quality wetsuit: durability and comfort that holds up to daily ocean use. The watch is rated to 100 meters (10ATM), meaning it handles surf, diving entries, and submersion without issue. The robust silicone strap and reinforced case construction are built to outlast seasons of use.
Nixon Surf Watch Craftsmanship
Nixon's approach has always been to pay attention to the details that other brands skip. The High Tide reflects that in its build: a solid case with a brushed bezel, a textured strap keeper for secure fitment during active use, and a clean layout that puts function first. It is a surf watch that works as hard as the people who wear it.
