TRIED AND TESTED

We have tested this over the spring of 2022 in dinghy and yacht racing

It looks good, matches the Gill Spray top and Buoyancy Aid and most importantly it’s easy to. As we all know starts are important, even at club level, and I used this watch a couple of weeks ago at my local club crewing an RS200. We have 3-minute starts at the club to speed things up and it’s very easy to change the settings from a 5 to a 3-minute countdown. The display is clear, even in bright conditions, and from 60 seconds the countdown increases to full screen with 10 second ‘beeps’ to remind you. Contrary to some of the reviews I have seen online, the watch does include a sync function (bottom right-hand reset button once the sequence is started) in case you miss the warning signal.
