The user will get notifications to alert them to kick-off times (15 minutes before the game starts), goals, penalties, substitutions, yellow and red cards and time added on. The app will also show team line-ups and VAR decisions, and then when it signals that the game is over, it will also begin a countdown to the next fixture.
If there are two games taking place simultaneously, users will be able to switch between them with a simple screen tap. The app will also be available to existing owners of the Hublot Big Bang e. Hublot will also be equipping UEFA Champions League referees with a special version of the watch, which will not be commercially available.
Cast in a super-lightweight composite; it will be even lighter than the ceramic version. It will also have additional technology designed to help the referee, including goal-line technology that signals to the referee when the whole of the ball has crossed the whole of the line. This means that even in a crowded penalty area, there is no doubt about whether a goal has been scored or not.
