Beschreibung

Spoken countdown timer.
Distance to starting line
Track view of covered paths. Colors indicate the speed.

Tips:
I advise to extend your screen idle timer. Also set Return to Clock to after 1 hour. Settings->General-> Return to clock
You can use bluetooth earphones if the volume is not loud enough.
Enable background refresh Settings > General > Background App Refresh

This app uses GPS and may impact the battery life. A 10-15% battery drain per hour is normal.

Future features:
Spoken wind shift messages
OCS alarm
Manually set Windward and leeward mark
Battery optimization (turn off GPS automatically)

The following permissions are needed
Healthkit: To start a sailing workout. This is also needs to get timer updates and location updates when the screen is off.
Location: To plot your route on the map and to calculate the distance to the line

As battery consumption is important, after two races risk is high the watch is out of electricity. So, I would follow the advice to change settings, like extend screen idle time. But I cannot find anywhere the Settings.
In case of activating the app and than the decision not to use it anymore, the problem is that the app does not stops working and therefore consumes some energy. How to stop the app? On the watch the moving icon confirms that the app is active without using it.

Hi Upepu,

Kill the app by swiping it to the left on the "App recents" page. Double tap crown brings you to the "app recents"

So yes, this GPS burns 20-25% battery per hour. You can also bring your phone with you, then it will use the phone GPS.

I could make some settings with screen idle time of course. Or perhaps turn off the GPS after the start, but then you dont have the track.
