TideClox WESSEX TIDE CLOCK - Classic Black Pendulum Clock for Home Office, Bedroom, Living Room

It’s a lovely looking clock and I bought 3 as a gift. Sadly two had to be returned but the one we have is a super little clock for my husband.The seller was most helpful so I would definitely recommend.

Delighted with the Clock. Looks superb, nice and functional! Follow instructions for setting to the letter tho’ and remember to add or subtract the actual tide compensation times for your coastal area to or from the time displayed, otherwise you could get caught out, you’ll find them in your local tide times booklet, important because they can vary significantly along a stretch of coast, as an example, there’s a full half hour of difference less than 15 miles from my location! That could mean the difference of getting off the sands in time, or being trapped.....

Wholly inaccurate when compared with the BBC Weather Tide Times for Teesmouth on the Internet. New batteries made no difference. An interesting idea but it is no use. This may just be my item of course but it is of little use after a couple of years of observing its indications.

A quirky but useful addition to the usual barometer/hygro/thermometer combo that adorns many homes - especially if you are a regular coastal visitor. The 12hr 25min clock mechanism effectively keeps in step with the tides and should need adjustment only infrequently.

Great tide clock and a great present. Arrived 3 days earlier then expected

Over the past six weeks I have repeatedly set this clock at high tide, including on the full moon as the instructions state and the clock always becomes inaccurate after a couple of days.The clock came with a slip of paper in the box saying not to use high power batteries such as Duracell batteries as they are too powerful for the clock and make it run too fast, this is nonsense. This should be a warning sign, I use Panasonic batteries which produce 1.46v , which I tested with a multimeter and the clock runs too fast, this suggests to me that the clock is inaccurate and will only give satisfactory results with a failing battery if the output of the failing battery magically matches up with the inaccuracy of the clock

Accurate as it can be... Handy at my beach hut.

It is not very accurate
