A useful timer for yachters and others, as a regatta start timer, to stay awake, as a general kitchen timer, and as a parking timer. The only countdown timer you need
In addition to being a general countdown timer, two new unique functions (GPS View and Race Counter Mode) makes this one of the most advanced Regatta Start Timers there is. See below
The Final Countdown is a general, no-nonsense, easy-to-use, reliable and accurate countdown timer, with useful functions. With easy-to-see big numbers and large buttons with clear text. Visible and audible alarm, or silent alarm (with vibrator only). Adjustable sound alarm level. Can be used with ear/head-phones, in a noisy environment, such as during the start of a yacht race, or when you do not want to disturb others
As a regatta start-timer, it gives an audible alarm when there is exactly one minute left to start, and another one for each of the final ten seconds, for an optimal yacht race start timing. There is also a one-click-function to synchronize the timer with the regatta committee's chronometer
A special Counter Mode has recently been introduced; The Race Mode. Even if it is very easy to use, this is an advanced Start-timer function for Regatta Sailors and other Racers, requested and specified by experienced Regatta Sailors
For Racers there is also a brand new GPS View, with the following functions:
- Mark the Start Line
- See the Boat and the Line on a GPS View
- See the Boats Speed and Course Over Ground
- See the Distance to the line
- See the Time To Go (to the line) based on the current Speed and Course
- Display the GPS Track History
A Shaking function makes it possible to reset an alarm by shaking the phone. The force required is configurable
As a stay-awake-timer, it alerts the user when the preset period has expired. The alarm stays on until reset, and then the timer automatically starts all over again. Only one click - or a shake - is required
As a pantry/kitchen timer, use it to time cooking of eggs and other dishes
As a car parking timer, use it to get an alarm when the parking time expires. No more parking tickets!
Counts seconds, minutes and up to 99 hours
Indispensable for yachtsmen, cooking, car owners, pupils and students (never to fall asleep in class again)
The Final Countdown may not be much to look at, but - in addition to being a very useful general timer. it contains some pretty unique Racing functions which are probably not found anywhere else - as far as we know
Here is a brief example of how to use of new Race Counter Mode:
In a Race, different classes of competitors are normally started at fixed, predetermined intervals - for instance one Class/Group every 5 minutes. Various signals are generated/shown at the start Time of each Class of yachts, and visual signals (often different signal flags) indicate what Class shall go at the next Start. The Start signal for one Class is the 5 minute pre-signal for another. Once you have started The Final Countdown (in Race Mode) at one of these signals, you have synchronized your start-timer. Then you can choose to start at the next Start signal, or wait another Interval. Whatever you select, the clock synchronization will be kept. When you finally start, The Final Countdown turns into a simple (upcounting) StopWatch, still being in synch with the Start Time. There is also another Synchronization function, which may be used to synchronize The Final Countdown with the Regatta Committees Chronometer
The "old" Counter Mode is now called the Classic Mode
Originally developed for Regatta Sailors, the Race Mode Start Timer may also be used in other sports, for different types of Races
