TL;DR Summary

A man was rescued after spending nearly 24 hours in the ocean off New Zealand's coast when he used his watch's reflection to signal for help. He had fallen overboard during a solo fishing trip and attempted to swim to the Alderman Islands but was carried away by currents. Despite a shark encounter, he survived the night and was saved by three fishermen after they noticed the reflection. He was treated for hypothermia and exhaustion, and the search for his boat is ongoing. The police hailed the rescue as a miracle and credited the fishermen with saving the man's life.
