Here it was over at the Columbia website 5 reviews to be found averaging at 3 stars. (Also Keep in mind these reviews were probably written by someone who paid over $100 for this watch, maybe they’d be less critical if they paid what woot wants for them)
The Product website gives so-so reviews. Among other things, people complain about not having any nearby tide stations (which makes sense if it only has 200 to choose from).
I’d love an extra 5 or 10 degrees in January too, buy don’t buy the sandals just yet - the “scientists” aren’t even calling it global warming anymore (we’ve been cooling since 1998). Now it’s called “climate change”, but you can be sure that they will tell us that whatever it is must be bad and must be our fault.
What are you talking about? The gravitational pull of the moon (which is a major cause of tides) effects all bodies of water. It just doesn’t matter so much on the smaller bodies of water. I haven’t downloaded the manual “yet” but I am pretty sure that you are right that Iowa doesn’t have any of the 200 locations.
The change to “Climate Change” is more accurate because it creates extreme changes in the weather, not just warming.
As for it getting cooler, that’s just not true. Check your facts. It’s gotten hotter over the past decade - the host in centuries. In fact, the ice caps are at its smallest.
