Freestyle Tide Series 600 Module Upgrade Program FAQs

How do I know if I my Freestyle Tide watch needs to be upgraded?

You only need to upgrade if you use the Tide functions, and your tide data has expired. If you try to use the tide function and receive the error message "No Tide Data for the Date" your tide data has most likely expired. If you hold down all five buttons for 6-8 seconds to reset the watch and the same message still appears when you try to access the tide information, your tide data has expired. If your style number is listed, you can upgrade if you want the new features available in the Tide 600 Series.

Can my Freestyle Tide watch be upgraded?

We can update certain models manufactured within the last 15 years with a new tide module to update expired tide data as well as add new features included in the new Tide 600 Series watches.You can check your style/model number from the backside case of the watch against the list of models below to see if your watch is eligible for an upgrade.
