Fencing Buzz allows you to pair your watch with a custom, home-built bluetooth module that interfaces with fencing boxes. When a touch is scored, or time runs out, the module signals your AppleWatch, which buzzes to alert you to the event. In non-pool mode, the start time for passivity is automatically tracked as well.
