Make the perfect start when sailboat racing, using this ISAF compliant countdown timer with sync function. The default countdown timer is the 5 minutes start sequence (ISAF 5.4.1.0), but you can change the sequence easily just by changing the countdown time to 4, 3, 2 or 1 minute. During the countdown to the start signal, alert beeps are played on the Apple Watch each minute & ‘taps on your wrist’ inform you how much time is left until the start signal (be sure to keep your screen on!) Did you miss the initial warning signal by a couple of seconds ? No problem: just use the sync function at the next warning signal and the countdown timer will synchronise with the racing committee timer. The sync function is always 'sync down' - even if you were a full minute 'late', you can sync at the next signal with a press on the sync button. Are you not sure how many minutes you are from the start signal ? Just check if the flags on the racing committee boat are corresponding with the flags on your screen. It is not necessary that your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone: the app runs natively on Apple Watch. You can even choose to install the app only on your Apple Watch. Although Regatta Timer Watch is optimised for Apple Watch, you can also use it with only an iPhone: Apple Watch is optional. Happy Sailing ! -------- Pro-Tip: set the 'Return to clock' setting to 'After 1 hour' Since you want the timer to remain active during the countdown, it is recommended to disable the 'Return to clock' feature on your Apple Watch: Settings > General > Return to clock > After 1 hour (Regatta Timer will remain active for 1 hour). If you don't change this setting and your display returns to the clock, just double press the Digital Crown to go back to the Regatta Timer countdown timer.

Fair Regatta timer with potential
06/20/2021

Wish I could say I like this app. I use it regularly because it’s the only Apple Watch regatta time I’ve found…Pros:-It counts down…-You can change the number of count down minutes-you can sync down by minuteBut, I think this is very basic.Cons:-The app kicks you back to the your watch Home Screen when you tap the Stop button. Very frustrating after a general recall and you find you need to restart your app while maneuvering through the fleet to back to the start line…-lag time from when you raise you watch to look at the time and when the app “updates”. Missing:-lock mode? I find on occasion I’ve inadvertently touched my watch face and the app is closed…-rolling start-count down to a specified time (pursuit racing).In a nut shell: it works but lacks some very basic features.

Ok as a back-up

Many things I like about app. Like the display of signal flags. Like ability to sync. On iPhones it is fairly simple. More complicated on Apple Watch. It only does count-down-count-up. Would like to see count-down-repeat (we do rolling starts, multi-fleets). Needs beeps for last five seconds of each minute. This gives a better chance to sync at even minutes. Jury still out, still learning to use app. Ok as a back-up. Three stars. Will re-evaluate at a later date. October 2018.

Developer Suggestion: Please update to fix the following issue with 3 min starts. In preparation for the first (3min) signal, I sync down to 3min and press start when the horn sounds. But if I sync down to 3min, and then lower my arm or the screen times out, when i raise my arm and wake the screen again the timer has reset to 5. Please make my chosen time stick even if the screen turns off before I hit start. Otherwise love it. Haptics are great. Would just love that 3 min fix.

Should save the time after a reset, make the buttons bigger

I coach high school sailing and we do two or three minute starts. I also sail large boats with five minute sequences. It’s very frustrating to have to change back to 2-3 min after every start. Also, if you’re not going to make a force touch action do something, disable it. It’s very hard to hit start accurately when it’s so easy to activate force touch. Finally I am often using touchscreen capable gloves which work but the buttons are really small and very easy to miss when trying to start a sequence. Great start, with minor improvements it could be exceptional.
