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

I have ordered this watch in white in the past and it is perfect. Have used it for years for dinghy racing with zero issues. I ordered this one (same watch in blue) for my son and the battery died on the second time worn, with very bad timing of this (out of town regatta). However, I followed up with the company and they made it all ok quickly. These things happen. Because my first watch (same exact watch, different color, same company) is so good, and because the company had great customer service, I am still giving 5 stars and will order again for sure. This watch must be the gold standard for dinghy racing. It is super easy to switch from 3 min starts to 5 min starts, do rolling starts, and toggle to time. I also love the sync function. It is interesting that the sailing watch (with sync function) is so much more expensive than the other equestrian version (with sec function). It seems it would be easy to order the wrong version accidentally.

This is the third Optimum Time I buy (two for me over the years, one as a gift to my brother) and I love them. Huge numbers, very simple to operate.

I ordered this watch in yellow and ordered another in blue. The yellow is for me — the blue for my husband. There was a short learning curve but once we mastered the buttons, the watch is perfect. We love the programmed countdown and cross the start line on the exact second. Love the colors! Love the large face! No malfunctions! Great watch!

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 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 easy and big numbers

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.

I aggressively race yachts in New England waters as a Bowman. Watch itself popped off its cup mount & went over the side during sail changes. Should be more secure for crew who work on bow & cannot hear countdown in cockpit, or see mast clock.

Highly recommended! Good quality, clear screen, waterproof, floats in the water, comfortable strap. Downsides are that friends at the sailing club say that they have had ones that have popped out of case and sunk, so they put tape from the edge of watch to hold it to the case - but I haven't found this problem and been getting perfect starts in the races since using this watch! A must get.

Mycket bra pris.

ヨットクラブで皆んなが使っています 専門店じゃないと買えないかと思ってましたが良かったです

Does not seem brand new. Scratch and scuff marks are clearly visible on the watch.
