Freestyle makes a tide watch. I have had one for years, granted mine is more trad looking than these.

Nixon makes some pretty nice looking tide watches, which include Cane Garden Bay tide tables...however, I didn't find that it lined up very well with the actual tide in that location...but it did do well for other locations.
I read they had some battery issues on the newer model (Supertide), but I believe that has been sorted.
