The new Sportsman’s Weather Station from Origo shows Best Hunting Time / Best Fishing Time (mode selection by user) on an easy to read display with all essential information. The Best Hunting Time / Best Fishing Time reveals the best time of day for Hunting / Fishing, the next best and projected best times in the upcoming days. There is an alarm setting for the Next Best Hunting Time. This weather station will keep you informed of Sunrise / Sunset times and the Moon phase is graph displayed The Tide Zone data give you High / Low tides and projected High / Low tides. Both indoor temperature and outdoor temperature are available. With this weather station check the humidity and barometer and see a barometric trend graph. There is a weather forecast prediction and icon. Also displayed are Time / Date / Day of week. An alarm is available and this unit can be wall or desk mounted. Station includes 4AA batteries and the remote 2AAA batteries. The EL backlight is blue.

Mixed convenience
Like: takes AA batteries so I don't have to use a power outlet, good battery life, display numbers very readable. Really like having sunrise and sunset times, that's extremely helpful. Seems to be fairly accurate and agrees with my other barometer and with weather websites and apps for the most part. Will definitely take this on camping trips. Option to display hunting vs fishing data at the touch of a button.Not so much: remote (outdoor) sensor frequently becomes un-synced from base station, esp. during colder weather despite fresh batteries. Have to unscrew the back of the remote sensor to change batteries and push the reset button and this is fussy. Remote sensor sometimes seems to report inaccurate temps but maybe that's because it's close to the house. A little tricky to set the tide station and other settings; for the love of god don't lose the instruction sheet as this is not intuitive. The # of tide stations available is a bit limited; serious fishermen may need a more expensive unit. Labels for the display numbers are tiny but not much of a problem once you get to know where each number is.Its not a watch as the title says, its a weather station. Have not yet checked the tide diagram accuracy against actual conditions or tried any of the alarm functions.

Weather Station Review
I purchased this weather station online through Amazon. I returned the weather station for a full refund. The weather station is a great buy, but it did not fill my needs. The tide porition of the station was not accurate for the west coast locations I would use it in. I wanted to use this device on my boat, but I find my GPS had many more options than what the weather station had.

Not Psychic
I bought this weather station just for the weather information and not the hunting and fishing predictions. Better to consult a psychic or a local hunter/fisher for that. Accuracy measures up well to other weather instruments I own. The instructions are somewhat deficient (could find no explanation of the significance of the barometer "weather forecast" box on the station). Also the instructions claimed that both AA and AAA batteries for the unit and the remote sender were included, but apparently they had Gone Fishin"!

Don't buy it.
Difficult to set up. Few and unclear instructions. Outside temperature has stopped working after two weeks. Small and dimly lit screen. Would not recommend it to anyone. Would like to return it, but no information on where to send it.

do not expect the remote sensor to communicate with the base unit
Pros: humidity, pressure, sunrise, sunset, moon phase and tide in a convenient package that can be mounted on a wall or stand on a desk using built in support. Uses 4xAA and 2xAAA batteries.Cons: could not get the remote (outdoor) sensor to send temperature info to the base station. Placing the sensor next to the station did not help. Changing batteries did not help.Conclusion: get it a sale price, but do not expect the remote sensor to communicate with the base unit.
