Follow the English Premiership through your wrist watch
A unique watch, developed by a Hong Kong based entrepreneur, enables the owner to view all fixtures and keep a record of the results of up to any three of their favourite teams in the English Premiership Football League is now on the market.
The watch, which comes in three colours, black, blue and red, is the brainchild of Robert Cave, Managing Director of Spfx Sports Watches (International) Ltd.
“At a business lunch with a friend three years ago, I said, wouldn’t be great if I could instantly know whom my favourite football teams are playing and the idea of a watch having this capability was born,” Robert Cave said.
“It has been quite a journey and it has resulted in the development of what is the first watch to read and download information direct from the Internet,” he
said.
The watch costs £99 and can be purchased through www.spfxsports.com and www.3lionssport.com
It comes with an electronic key which enables fixtures to be downloaded from the official www.spfxsports.com website.
Up to three teams can be tracked and apart from detailing fixtures and allowing results to be tabulated, it also displays the time in 20 different time zones.
Incredibly, when purchasing a watch, a buyer has the option to enter a lucky draw, drawn after the sale of the first 10,000 watches for US$250,000 worth of diamonds, or a rolling draw, made after the sale of batches of 150 watches, to win a five day trip to the UK and VIP treatment at a Premier League match.
