RacerTime — Multi-Sports Racing Timer Race smarter. From your iPhone to your wrist. RacerTime brings advanced racing tools to every water sports athlete — controlled entirely by the Digital Crown, even in salt water. 1. Racing Timer Purpose-built for wet and demanding conditions where touchscreens fail (for Phone, use a high-quality waterproof pouch). Start, pause or cancel your race timer using buttons for precise control during critical race starts. Haptic and audio feedback keep you informed at every key moment. Full speed, GPS distance and real-time heart rate visible at a glance while the timer runs. The new Proximity Alert System uses your marked points to warn you about previously identified hazards along your sports route, helping you avoid them. 2. Mark & Recover — Save a Point. Find It Again. Save GPS reference points during any route or workout, then navigate back to any marked location with real-time bearing and distance guidance on your iPhone or Apple Watch. On Apple Watch, simply turn the Digital Crown while the app is open to mark your current position. 3. Judge Mode Designed for race officials to independently manage race sequences and flag signals directly from the Phone & Wear OS Watch. Control the full race sequence from your wrist — start, postpone or cancel with buttons. Judge Mode now includes a complete system for managing races and competitor scores quickly and easily, without complications. Export results to PDF for easy sharing. 4. GPS Buoy Guide — Set Your Course. Anywhere. Configure custom race courses with 2 to 5 buoys and your preferred downwind angle. Navigate accurately to each race mark using real-time bearing and distance directly on the watch. Everything you need to organize a real race with friends — right from your wrist. Set your course, place your buoys and start competing anywhere on the water. The GPS Distance Measurement tool also helps you plan your sports routes more effectively. 5. iPhone Performance Analysis After each session, data recorded on the Apple Watch can be transferred to the iPhone or obtained directly from the iPhone for deep performance review: GPS heatmaps with speed overlays. Automatic maneuver detection — identifies successful and failed tacks & gybes so you can pinpoint exactly where you're losing time. Speed and race metrics. Session performance insights.
