Optimum Time Sailing Watch OS11 Sailing Watch

This is a dream watch it not only works as a normal watch,but it's a brilliant race officer and sailor watch,I can't fault it 👏

Bought this watch to replace same watch on which a button had broken, watch arrived with blank screen, contacted Optimumtime in case I had not set up ie pulled a tab on the battery, they informed me the watch should be on display all of the time. The suppliers clearly did not check before shipping.

Received the watch. It looked very well made and was really good for sailing with the race countdown feature. After three outings, moisture started to appear under the watch face. Some of The digital segments started to disappear. Eventually there were only four random segments lit. I was very disappointed so returned for refund.

I'm going to start with the positives. The pre-programmed countdown function works really well, the moulded rubbery strap isn't the worst in the world and not uncomfortable, but has the potential to break off once its aged a bit... However, it'll never age because the watch will give up long before the strap decides it can't cope anymore.As the title suggests, this watch is useless when it gets wet, a bit of a problem for a watch advertised as a sailing watch. If you never plan on going afloat, but need a watch with a decent display and countdown function, then you'll be fine; however, at the first sign of a wave, the screen fogged up and some of the digits stopped displaying. After two days of careful drying out, the fog cleared to leave no digits displaying at all. It was dead.I have given this 1 star, as I simply couldn't give any less. This is a hopeless watch for those who sail on water. It may be better suited to radio sailors or land-yachters, but if you plan on actually getting wet buy a Casio or Timex instead, you're money will be much better spent!

And just what son wanted for sailing

Replaced immediately when mal functioned

They do everything you need .... While they last! I've gone through 3, only because there are so few good available alternatives. I won't be buying another. All have failed with water ingress, the last in just over a season.

This is a waste of money and time ordering it. The watch turned up loose in jiffy bag with no instruction manual, guarantee.....and the watch strap was damaged and aged, so was the watch screen and it didn't even work (unable to use the buttons). Refund quested straight away.

I am always looking for a good sailing watch; 5,4,1,0 countdown, digital, night light. I’ve gone through several over the last 5 years. Those I liked (Gill) died after a couple of years or the wrist band broke almost immediately. I decided to disregard the reviews on this one, but I shouldn’t have. Night light already non functioning, the whole thing is non intuitive. It looks okay…but regret it. Still looking.

Comprato per mia figlia che è al primo anno di agonismo, sembra ragionevolmente resistente e di semplice utilizzo anche per bambini sotto i 10 anni (prima usavamo un prodotto entry level generico e, a parte che si è rotto in fretta, la regolazione era più complicata almeno per lei). Rispetto a un orologio sportivo generalista ha più ha la funzione sync che gli istruttori avevano consigliato perché è utile in gara.Leggermente più economico rispetto a prodotti della stessa categoria (il "padellone" per chi ha dimestichezza), ha secondo me anche il vantaggio di essere più portabile al di fuori dell'allenamento/pratica veristica e quindi può essere indossato anche quotidianamente, col risultato che i bambini si esercitano a usarlo più frequentemente. Forse l'unico neo è che il cinturino non è larghissimo quindi i bambini più grandicelli o di corporatura un po' più robusta potrebbero far fatica a indossarlo sopra la muta stagna o uno spraytop invernale che sono più voluminosi. Nell'insieme comunque è stato un successone sia per la destinataria che per i suoi compagni di squadra, con più d'uno che ne ha chiesto uno uguale...

Die als wasserdicht beschriebene Uhr ist leider alles andere als das.

Esattamente quello che serve per fare il conto alla rovescia per le regate. Possibilità di correggere il conto alla rovescia durante il conteggio se sbagli a prendere il tempo

Aside from the very plastic look, it is a good sailing watch delivering what it promises
