I picked up this watch too.
The sunrise/set info is nice, and fairly accurate.
The moon phase graphic is nice, although, no better than looking "up".
Tech digression:
How do you get the moonrise/set information from the watch?
There is the mode where it will show "good fishing times" which according to
the manual are supposed to correspond with moonrise, moonset, transit, and
nadir. But taking these values for today: (what I get when pressing that
button, right now - the watch appears to be set properly; GMT -7, 38N,122W)
20:25 - 1
1:45 - 2
8:00 - 3
14:10 - 4
Are these supposed to tell moonrise/set?
#1 is close enough for transit (if that's what it's supposed to be) but
according to the CSC links the correct times are:
Moonrise 14:51 on preceding day
Moonset 00:02
Moonrise 15:51
Moon transit 20:29
Moonset 01:10 on following day
