Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! Good quality, clear screen, waterproof, floats in the water, comfortable strap.Downsides are that friends at the sailing club say that they have had ones that have popped out of case and sunk, so they put tape from the edge of watch to hold it to the case - but I haven't found this problem and been getting perfect starts in the races since using this watch!A must get.

Broken not working

My son kitefoils for the GB team and his coach said he needed one of these watches. We took it to the world championships in Italy and it didn’t work. Such a nightmare and now too late to return now we’re home. So having to buy a new one. Hopefully this one will work.

Unreliable

These can be great watches when they work but unfortunately they often don't work for very long. Less than a year and the top row of the digital display no longer displays and the buttons work intermittently.
