In competitive sailing and windsurfing, getting a good start is about being in the right place at the right time. Suunto M3 helps make sure that that is exactly where you are.

Sailing Timer
Before the race, you can make practice starts to estimate the time to the start line from a chosen position. Then, if the official signal is given five minutes before the start, set the countdown timer to five minutes and start it at the official signal. This way, you'll know exactly when to set off from your chosen position in order to cross the start line right on time.

Timer lock
Once the timer is synchronized, you can lock the synchro to ensure that the timer synchronization isn't changed by mistake.

Suunto M3 also helps you determine the favored end of the start line so that you're not just there at the right time, but at the right place too. By using the boat's compass and the Suunto M3's rotating bezel, it is simple and quick to decide which end of the line to head for.

Once out on the course, Suunto M3 continues to provide assistance by allowing you to calculate the bearing to the next race marker, before you reach the turning point, and compare it to the wind direction. This way, you can steer the correct course as soon as possible, giving you a valuable advantage over your competitors.

You can also mark the wind direction with the rotating bezel to track wind shifts, monitor the race time, and add time stamps (interval times). After the race, you can check Suunto M3's logbook to review the race times and time stamps.

Multiple watch, date and alarm functions
Watch functions include time, dual time, date and 3 daily alarms.
