Check list – before race day

Before heading out on the water, make sure everything is prepared on your watch:

  • Ensure your watch has synchronized recently
  • Give each timer you want to use a clear, meaningful name (and optionally a fleet color)
  • Confirm that all relevant settings for each start are correctly configured:
  • Countdown model
  • Finisher mode
  • Use +4 min reminder (enable or disable according to your choice)
  • Make sure all parent timers are removed if you don’t want to use back to back starts
  • Reset the timer, or set it to start at a specific time
  • Make sure all preparation is completed well before race day
  • Make sure the app is started well before the first start if you want to use GPS as the time source

Avoid making changes or installing updates immediately before a regatta. While we always do our best to avoid introducing issues in the app, new versions may occasionally contain unexpected problems. Discovering such issues during a start procedure can be disruptive and, in the worst case, a nightmare. It is often better to use a version you have tested and are familiar with than to install a new version without proper testing. You can read more about updates in the How To – Update the app.
