Race Ready with Race Countdown on Waterspeed

When you’re lining up for a regatta or race, timing is everything. A perfect start can make or break your performance — and now Waterspeed makes it easier than ever to nail it.

With Race Countdown, available on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch, you can prep for the start like a pro. Set your countdown, sync it to the official start time, and let Waterspeed guide you right into race mode. Once the timer hits zero, tracking begins automatically — so you can focus on the wind, not your watch.

You’ll get sound and vibration alerts at key moments (4 min, 1 min, 30 sec, and the final 10-second countdown) to keep you perfectly in sync. Apple Watch Ultra users can even trigger the countdown using the Action Button, making it easy to control everything with a tap.

Whether you’re chasing the perfect start line or simply want to relive the thrill of competition, Race Countdown gives every session an extra dose of precision and adrenaline.
