        @Artem-Lavrynenko Most Spartans do have a countdown timer. Which version is disappointing you?

          @Fenr1r Well it has very simple countdown timer, as almost watches have. I used to have Suunto M3 and it had an real racing countdown time with possibility to synchronize to the up or down number. It is very important for the racing count down timer. I wonder why it was deleted from more advance versions of Suunto watches. Now I need second watch when racing. Would be great to put M3 countdown timer back to new versions.
          Thank you.

            @Artem-Lavrynenko Ah, I see. You might want to make a Feature Suggestion elsewhere in the Forum as development on the Spartans appears to have ended. Maybe for the S9 or whichever of the current line-up catches your eye?

                On that, I am out of my depth. But I suspect it depends on the specific water sports - you’re best off searching the forum for mentions of your own preferred activities. IIRC, there are a bunch of folks here with specific issues on touchscreens, stroke counting, paddling sports modes, sailing navigation and probably other things. Off the top of my head, @Jamie-BG has weighed in with some authority recently.

                Happy hunting

Second signal is on 4 min mark if your watch shoes discrepancies you can adjust to 4 min by pushing up or down button depends if you are to early or late. Also, you ned to hear signals for every minute as well as last minute every 10 s and the last 10 s for every second and multi bipping when 0.;

                                  @Artem-Lavrynenko - forgot who makes it, but there is a very, very nice timer and GPS tracking display unit that you can put on your boat that does all of this, which might be the best way to go considering that sailing starts are so specialized.
