Optimum Time Series 3 Sailing Yachting and Dinghy Watch Blue - Unisex

I have ordered this watch in white in the past and it is perfect. Have used it for years for dinghy racing with zero issues. I ordered this one (same watch in blue) for my son and the battery died on the second time worn, with very bad timing of this (out of town regatta). However, I followed up with the company and they made it all ok quickly. These things happen. Because my first watch (same exact watch, different color, same company) is so good, and because the company had great customer service, I am still giving 5 stars and will order again for sure. This watch must be the gold standard for dinghy racing. It is super easy to switch from 3 min starts to 5 min starts, do rolling starts, and toggle to time. I also love the sync function. It is interesting that the sailing watch (with sync function) is so much more expensive than the other equestrian version (with sec function). It seems it would be easy to order the wrong version accidentally.

I ordered this watch in yellow and ordered another in blue. The yellow is for me — the blue for my husband. There was a short learning curve but once we mastered the buttons, the watch is perfect. We love the programmed countdown and cross the start line on the exact second. Love the colors! Love the large face! No malfunctions! Great watch!

This is my son’s 2nd watch. The first he lost overboard when he took it off. Very durable and easy to set.

Sailing watch - excellent and easy to use

This is a great stopwatch for racing. It's a bit nerdy, bit it works very well.

Replaces a 20 year old watch - a very good timer

Delivered before promised and as described. Can’t wait to start using the watch.

i bought this in early November, 2023 and was exicted by the design and the simplicity of the functions. It is after all marketed as a stop watch for sailing racing. I was using this for racing Lasers.I am incredibly dissappointed with the quality and the lack of even basic water resistance. I have used this for 3 races and after getting a bit splashed - not even completely submerged - this stop watch is now ruined. It got water in the insides and in the face. Wow - for $90, I expected much better quality. The watch is completel destroyed.Since I am now outside of the 30 day return window, I sent a note to the customer service dept at Optim, hoping they would stand behind the quality of their product. I have never even received a response from them. So - in addition to my disappointment for the quality of the product, their lack of customer service makes the situatoin even worse. Very unfortunate.Instead of this stopwatch, I am now switching over to a Ronstand Clearwater. It costs less and is guranteed to be waterproof.
