The Field & Stream Pro Fishing Watch is a great time piece that helps you with the best fishing times using the moons phases and tidal information. Let me get one thing perfectly clear, Field & Stream that sells this watch is not the same as the Field & Stream magazine that many fishermen and outdoor sports enthusiasts may be familiar with.
I was kind of surprised when doing a little research about the company that the watch maker is actually a company called EMC-2 Time Pieces that is licensed by Field & Stream Licenses Company. This company is not the same that publishes the popular fishing and hunting magazine though, it is a large company with many licensee’s like one that sells outdoor products called Dick’s Sporting Goods.
I say this not to confuse my loyal readers but just to state that the magazine of the same name, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with the watch company. The company behind the product is a bit hard to find on the internet and I just wanted to mention this in my review.
The Field & Stream Pro Fishing Watch model F300FISH is a great looking watch and does a good job of not only telling time but of telling you the moon phases and setting and rising times to help you figure out the best fishing times. This is more often used for the best times to land your boat or to tell when you should be going through certain channels but is extremely helpful for fishing.
For fishermen the tides and whether the moon is rising or falling is useful in conjunction with a full or new moon for the best fishing times during the day. The best fishing times are dependent on the moons tides and using a watch that tracks the moons phases and the rising and setting of the moon ensures you’re on top of the best fishing times due to the tides and moon.
The Field & Stream Pro Fishing Watch does a great job of telling these rise and fall times and moon phases simply by the setting of the watch and your latitude and longitude location. Not only do you set your watch for current time, day and year but the location in the United States so that the watch coordinates the rise and fall of the moon with the tides.
