Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Rip Curl solar watches charge by converting light into electrical energy. Expose the watch to sunlight (approx. 5 hours for a full charge in fine weather) or fluorescent light (approx. 60 hours). Avoid placing it too close to hot light sources.
Find the current tide time for your location from a trusted source. Enter Tide Mode (usually by holding the Tide Set button), and use the adjustment buttons to align the digital or analogue tide reading with the actual current tide.
Most Rip Curl surf watches are tested to 100M/330FT. However, you must ensure the crown is fully pushed in and sealed before entering the water. Buttons should generally not be pressed while submerged.
Connect your SearchGPS watch to the desktop app via USB or sync via Bluetooth to the iOS app. This allows you to offload surf data and update satellite orbit data for faster GPS connections.
