Optimum TimeOptimum Time Series 3 Sailing Watch in Yellow - Water Resistant Race Timer for Sailing

I’m so glad this watch is still in production. It is simple and easy to see and to sync the time while in start sequence (sailboat racing)

We purchased this watch for our son who uses it for sail races. He loves it. It is very easy to navigate. The screen is very large and has sound so very helpful in the turmoil of the race to keep track of count down til start. We had an issue with the product and the Wetsuit Outlet was very responsive and solved our issue.

This is perhaps the easiest regatta starting line watch to use and read. Wish I had this watch years ago. It (has so far) survived capsizing, salt water and sand. The band fastens tightly, no chance of the watch coming off. The auto lap timer after the start helps you see if you are sailing faster or slower with each race.

The digital watch itself is good, the wrist belt/buckle is cheap thin plastic. It broke during a sailing race and is now resting at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The company probably knows about this design defect why not correct it? I will be looking to buy a new watch not this kind.

This timer is comfortable and has a large easy-to-read dial. The timing buttons are simple to use. The countdown feature is perfect for the start of sailboat races. There is also programmed in a useful sequence of audible beeps.

This watch is an oldie but a goodie, love the size and easy to read face. The Sync button is a lifesaver and easy and intuitive to use. It’s great for race officers like myself for running races and estimating the length of a race, or running a starting sequence, and I plan to also use it as a racer this summer. I like that I can customize the starting sequence because the races I participate in have different sequences, sometimes not one of the standard ones. I didn’t give it 5 stars because the Mode and Clear buttons are so small relative to the other function buttons and I can’t read their labels without glasses because the print on the buttons is so tiny, so I might mix up which one is which. Other than that, terrific watch, worth the money, and can’t wait to use it for racing!

Works well

Love it. Does the job, easy to use.
