Anyone use a Garmin watch for sailing?

TBF, I'm struggling with RaceQs and Race Countdown timer on the watch (and Garmin's help is hopeless, much worse than Apple's and that's not up to much for minority interest apps) and I don't really use Strava so I'd probably better persevering with RQs.

I like a lot of what RaceQs does and the animations of sailed races are great but I don't need to post it online for all to see....

You can set the app to only record whilst the timer is running. So if you restart the timer after each race you will get separate tracks. No need to exit the app. Here's the link again https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d24109e9-2fa4-4dc6-bc44-4240c97a10db

Mostly I am recording GPS so I can overlay that data to video later, so I can do a better job at telling the story of races on youtube (see below). POV and onboard shots are great at getting the in boat action, but can be very disorientating, so having an overlay with position on course, speed, heading and heart rate I think adds a little. 

Do I use strava for post sailing analysis? Well, not really. The interface is excellent, and it works so much better and easier than anything else. Within seconds I can see top speed, average speed, where we went on the course and heart rate. But that alone doesn't really give you anything to analyse in any meaningful way.

The sailracer and beat racing apps are trying to handle the GPS data in a more sailing relevant way. But, they're no where near as polished as strava.  

But, what it boils down to, and is still kind of true with the sailing specific apps, is that I don't think GPS alone is a great tool for sailing analysis. I can't say I've really learnt anything from it, after using it extensively. Camera's on the other hand I find invaluable. 

I am really liking the the trickle down load sensing technology of the likes of trusail (bespoke load sensors and high frequency GPS) and  cycolops (generic, micro and transferable load sensors) making it's way to dinghies. Dinghy sailing channel has a review coming up of Sailmon Max which uses gps and inclinometers. 

For me an ideal dinghy training computer would be
1) High frequency gps
2) TWA /AWA + wind speed
3) heel and pitch

4) bluetooth to load sensors

5) ping location
