Original sailing watch was a Casio digital with count down timer and stop watch. It lasted 20+ years and days/weeks of sailing/racing. It died finally. I gave it a proper burial at sea in grays reef. I hope my ashes are left there as well and I’ll reclaim it. Replaced with a timex Ironman with the countdown function On my 2nd one and have a 3rd in reserve. I now race with a large face sailing specific watch on My 2nd one of these nice big face big buttons start sequences for 3 and 5 minute count down beeps nicely. The 1st of these was an expensive Gill which lasted 2.5 seasons and died. I called Gill up and hoped for some satisfaction on a 150.00 watch that was meant for the marine environment I was told so sad so sorry. It was the last Gill product I purchased (their sailing gloves stopped lasting more than 1/2 a season as well.) completely done with them in less it is deeply discounted. Current one not a Gill can’t remember the brand was a prize in a race I only wear a watch when underway
