Sailing Watch: Developed with the guidance of top sailors, the Yachtsman's sailing timer keeps you on track before and during the toughest races in the world. To give yourself the advantage, choose the countdown period to the start from 120 minutes to 60 minutes at 10 minute intervals, from 60 to 15 minutes at 5 minute intervals, and from 15 to 1 minute at one-minute intervals. Be ready to start on time thanks to beeps heard first every 10 minutes down to 60 minutes, then every minute and every 10 seconds during the last minute. The last 10 seconds an audible signal is heard every second. Once the race begins, the stopwatch keeps time. With a range of 10 hours and fifty way point times that can be stored in memory, you'll both stay on track and be able to analyze your performance once back on shore. Compass Watch: From Alicante, Spain to St. Petersburg Russia, you'll know your bearings with the Yachtsman's electronic compass feature. Balanced for global use, this Suunto compass shows bearing in cardinal or half-cardinal points. A bearing tracking function displays locked bearing, actual bearing, and the difference between the two. As you make your way around the globe, the adjustable declination keeps your direction true. The bezel ring with a ratchet at every five degrees is especially useful when memorizing wind direction before the start of a sailing race. Barometer Watch: On a weekend trip through Lake Michigan or a 3 month adventure on the Pacific, the Yachtsman keeps you abreast of the weather. The barometer on your Yachtsman tracks pressure trends over a period of up to 4 days, letting you know when things are about to get dicey. The barometer also displays current barometric pressure and temperature. Watch Features: The Yachtsman sports non-allergenic aluminum casing and a weather-proof leather band that is at home on the water and in the office. The carbon fiber enhanced back and durable mineral crystal class face stands up to even the roughest storms. Keep your life on track with the calendar and dual time feathers. The calendar watch on the Yachtsman is pre-programmed to the year 2089 and has 3 daily alarms. A regular stopwatch and countdown timer come in useful during the day-to-day. With dual time, you'll know the time where you are and where you'll be. Other features include a large display with big numerals, an electroluminescen t backlight, and a user-replaceable battery. Who is the Suunto Yachtsman best for? The Suunto Yachstman is designed for sailors and those who live the marina lifestyle. While the Yachstman is at home on the water, it is only water resistant down to 100 ft / 30 m. Comparison: If all you're looking for is a sailing timer, the paired down Suunto M3 Watch is a great option. Like the Yachstman, the M3 counts down the race and keeps you on track. On land, the Yachtsman offers time, date, dual time, and 3 alarms. If you'd like a sailing watch with compass and timer but not barometer, check out the Suunto Regatta . The Regatta features a stopwatch, accurate calendar watch, and digital compass as well as timing and memory functions that make it an invaluable companion to any sailing event.
