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 iPhone & Apple Watch. Control the full race sequence from your wrist — start, postpone or cancel with one turn of the Crown. 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.
