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 👏

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!

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.

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.

And just what son wanted for sailing

Replaced immediately when mal functioned

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.

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.
