Timex Men’s Intelligent Quartz® Tide Temp Compass 45mm
Product Overview
The Timex Men’s Intelligent Quartz® Tide Temp Compass 45mm Watch is engineered for those who live life beyond the pavement. Whether you’re riding the waves at dawn, trekking through remote trails, or simply navigating the unpredictability of coastal weather, this watch is built to keep up. It blends rugged durability with practical outdoor functionality, making it more than just a timepiece—it’s a reliable field companion. At the heart of its design is Timex’s Intelligent Quartz® movement, which powers not only precise timekeeping but also three essential environmental tools: tide tracking, temperature monitoring, and an analog compass. Housed in a bold 45mm case and finished with a stainless steel bracelet, this watch delivers both strength and visibility, ensuring you can read critical data at a glance, even in challenging conditions.
Key Features
- Intelligent Quartz® Movement – This advanced quartz system powers the watch’s core functions with accuracy and efficiency. Unlike standard quartz movements, it supports multiple specialized features—tide, temperature, and compass—without compromising reliability or battery life.
- Tide Tracker – A dedicated tide graph on the dial displays high and low tide times, allowing surfers, anglers, and beachgoers to plan activities around tidal patterns. This feature is especially valuable for coastal adventures where timing directly impacts success and safety.
- Temperature Sensor – An integrated thermometer provides real-time ambient temperature readings, helping users monitor sudden weather changes. Whether you’re camping in mountain terrain or fishing by the shore, this tool keeps you informed without needing a separate device.
- Analog Compass – The built-in compass offers clear directional guidance with easy-to-read markings. It’s calibrated for reliable navigation in remote areas, supporting hikers, campers, and outdoor explorers who depend on orientation in the field.
- 45mm Case Size – The substantial case diameter ensures excellent legibility, allowing quick access to time and environmental data. Its size accommodates the multi-function displays without feeling cluttered, striking a balance between utility and wearability.
- Water Resistant to 100M – Rated for depths up to 100 meters, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and most water sports. It’s built to withstand immersion and pressure, making it a trustworthy choice for aquatic environments.
- Stainless Steel Bracelet – The corrosion-resistant band offers a secure, comfortable fit and stands up to daily wear, saltwater exposure, and rugged use. Its durable construction ensures longevity, even in harsh conditions.
- Lithium Metal Battery (Included) – The pre-installed battery powers all functions efficiently, including the quartz movement and environmental sensors. It’s ready to use right out of the box, with no additional setup required.

Benefits & Use Cases
Designed with the active outdoorsman in mind, this watch excels in real-world scenarios where environmental awareness matters. Surfers rely on the tide tracker to pinpoint optimal wave conditions, while fishermen use it to align trips with feeding times. Hikers and campers benefit from the compass for route-finding and the temperature sensor to anticipate weather shifts. The 100-meter water resistance ensures the watch performs reliably during swimming or snorkeling, and the stainless steel bracelet resists corrosion from saltwater and sweat. The large 45mm case enhances readability, allowing users to check tide levels, direction, or temperature at a glance—even with gloves on or in low light. It’s a tool for those who value preparedness, whether navigating a coastal trail, planning a beach outing, or simply embracing an adventurous lifestyle.
Important Notes
This model is not discontinued and remains available for purchase. A manufacturer’s warranty is included and can be requested through Timex customer service. The watch comes with one pre-installed lithium metal battery, so it’s ready to use immediately. To maintain performance and appearance, avoid exposing the watch to extreme shocks, chemicals, or prolonged submersion beyond its rated depth. Regular cleaning of the case and bracelet—especially after saltwater exposure—helps preserve its finish and functionality over time.
