Fair Regatta timer with potential
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 minute
But, 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.loki-247
Unusable on Apple Watch!
Was ready for the starting sequence and hit the start button but the App would not start the countdown timer. Tried multiple times, soft push hard push long push. Just would not start. Unusable during a race! Tried again after the race, still had a hard time to get it to start!Jack2937&$3
Flakey
1. Rests to your default time each time your app goes to sleep.
2. Randomly Crashes.
3. Always asks you for your health data.Moreleeway

September 2, 2024

More4.0
September 28, 2017
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Update for iOS 11 / watchOS 4 Regatta Timer Watch takes advantage of the improvements in watchOS 4: in countdown mode, Regatta Timer Watch now keeps playing beeps & haptics each minute (and each ten seconds in the final minute), even when the screen is dimmed (requires watchOS4).
More3.0
September 13, 2016
Support for new watchOS 3 features: 1. Background beeps & haptics: Regatta timer watch now will continue to produce beeps & haptics when the app runs in the background e.g. when the screen is dimmed. That means that you know how many minutes/seconds are left until the start, without having to look at your watch! 2. Workout sessions that remain active in the background Starting a start sequence is logged as a sailing workout session. In watchOS 3 that means that your app is kept active in the background: when your watch wakes, regatta timer is immediately shown - and even when your screen dims, Regatta Timer Watch remains active, e.g. through beeps & haptics.

September 26, 2015
Regatta Timer for Apple Watch has been updated to watchOS 2 and now has far more capabilities: * the app now runs standalone on Apple Watch - no need to be connected to your iPhone * the app now runs natively & entirely on your Apple Watch, resulting in a better performance: it loads more quickly & responds faster. * the app now has support for sound & Taptic Engine (vibrations) on Apple Watch: alert beeps are played on Apple Watch & ‘taps on your wrist’ inform you how much time is left until the start signal (be sure to keep your screen on!) * the app now stays in the foreground, without having to alter your settings: during the start procedure, you just have to raise your wrist and Regatta Timer for Apple Watch will be on the screen (requires that you authorize the app to collect Health/Workout data) * Integration with the native Apple ‘Health’ & ‘Activity’ apps: your entire sailing time is now saved as a ‘sailing workout session’ and will contribute to your activity goals.

June 12, 2015
* Syncing is now always 'sync-down' to the next full minute (several users requested to remove the 'sync up') * Beeps on the iPhone are now played also when only the Apple Watch app is active: you can now leave your iPhone in your pocket - just make sure to keep your Apple Watch awake. * Fixed a bug with the count-up timer (no resets when the Apple Watch awakes) * Other small bug fixes...

Description of Regatta Timer Watch
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.
