Tide clocks are a marvellous tool for letting you maximise your time on the water and get the most out of summer. When shopping for a tide clock for sale online there are a few things you need to consider before you press "add to cart". With that in mind here is our guide to helping you find the perfect tide clock for your needs where ever you are in the world

1. Consider the quality of the tide clock and where it was made.

3. Consider the materials

Why you should consider a german tide clock  (over poor quality alternatives)

Like all products, there are well-made tide clocks and mass-produced tide clocks. The trouble with mass-produced products can be with quality and materials, which I think lets down the consumer due to the tide clock not been reliable. We recommend German-made tide clocks from Fischer who hand make tide clocks with high-quality parts. There is a reason they have been in business for over 100 years. Fischer has small factory with skills long term staff that make the casings from hand and assemble the quartz movements correctly.
