It’s no secret that Hublot loves football. A branded licensee for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Hublot Loves Football tagline was emblazoned everywhere at the Baselworld 2018 watch fair. This year, the Swiss watchmaker has created its first-ever smartwatch in honor of the FIFA World Cup, and as it name suggests, all the Word Cup referees will be wearing the Big Band Referee watch during the match. But the most exciting thing about the watch is the application that was specially developed for the World Cup—an app which will announce matches 15min before kick-off, as well as every yellow and red card, and player substitution. The watch will also vibrate and display the word “goal” across the dial instantaneously each time a goal is scored. The dial will also display the match statistics for the duration of each match, including the score, number of cards, names of the goal-scorers, player substitutions, and match time.
