Win the pin! vs Upwind

Pin to Win is the simplest sailing race start timer for Apple Watch. Hit your line with the same 5- and 3-minute countdowns race officers run — with big glanceable digits, every classic audio signal according to Appendix U, and a sync-to-minute button right on your wrist. WHAT IT DOES • 3- or 5-minute countdown, switchable in settings • Sync to snap to the current minute when you're late off the line • +1 to add a minute when the start is postponed • Reset to start over instantly • Flips to count-up after the gun so you can track race elapsed time EVERY SIGNAL YOU EXPECT • N long beeps at every minute mark (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) • Halfway warnings: 2 long + 3 short at 2:30, 1 long + 3 short at 1:30 • 3 short at 0:30, 2 short at 0:20, 1 short at 0:10 • A short beep every second through the final five • A 3-second start tone at zero Every audible signal also fires a haptic so you feel it even when the wind drowns out the watch speaker. DESIGNED FOR THE BOAT High-contrast digits stay readable in the sun. The background fills from bottom to top as the countdown drains, so you always know how much time is left from a glance. The screen flashes red ↔ white through the final five seconds — you can't miss the gun. PHONE COMPANION The iPhone app mirrors the watch live. Start, sync, +1, or reset from either device — they stay in sync. The watch keeps running standalone if your phone drifts out of range during the race. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Everything stays on your devices.
