Bookies telling them take a dive. Most sports here, it’s no coms from the time you hit the dressing room.
Oh! It’s also especially bad to wear a smartwatch as it could be a means of communication between coaches/players. I recently learned from Josh Dobbs joining the Vikings right before their next game that the coaches headset to the in-helmet mic gets cut off with like 15-ish seconds left on the play clock
As someone already stated, the physical safety of having a hard object on your wrist could be dangerous. Another reason is that there are rules and laws set around communication between players and coaches on the field and off, and what can and can’t be done with regards to gathering information about the other team and outside perspectives. AW could potentially breach these I guess.
College has strict rules with who can get a headset and talk to players/coaches. You can read texts on the field.
Also, someone can text him information about the other team's plays.
As long as it is the Nike version it is allowed. 😂 Nike sponsors the uniforms.
Hope he doesn’t have collision detection activated.
fall detection too, i think it's on by default when a workout is detected
Nope, it’s active all the time, and likes to go off if I reach down to pick something up too quickly at work
You can turn it off though, I’ve got mine set so fall detection is on while doing a workout.
Thanks, I never realized it was possible to.
Nope this is false, you can turn it off or even set it to on during workouts.
Open the Apple Watch App, go to Emergency SOS, and then you can toggle it from there.
Mine is on all the time. I’ve had it go off several times when I’ve been hot at work!
Hit at work?
I thought fall detection was only on by default if the wearer is over a certain age like 65.
I think there are two types of detection. Fall detection and risk of falling alerts. I have the fall detection only turned on while in a workout. I have the 2nd gen SE. You can also turn it off completely.
He must have “football” mode on
I swear I read an article about this earlier in the season.
Tallahassee local newspaper had this article https://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/college/fsu/football/2023/09/05/florida-state-wide-receivers-coleman-wilson-seen-wearing-apple-watches-during-sundays-game/70769754007/
Why would Jim Harbaugh do this
Jim didn’t have a clue it was happening. It was all Connor Stallions.
Gonna assume yes because multiple players wear them
Watches and Jewelry weren’t legal back when I played high school ball
I can’t believe they’re not Nike branded.
Gotta get those steps in!!!
Assume that's an Ultra?
When people complain about shit they should’ve be worrying about It’s not that serious. Let the man get his rings.
Does not look like an Apple Watch to me - the crown appears to be centered on the side, which is not something Apple ever did.
It’s an ultra. You’re seeing the large protrusion on the side that’s creating the illusion of a centered crown.
Gotta close them rings
it's a rugby, man, football is played with foot my ass..
Fun fact. “Football” has nothing to do with moving the ball with your feet.
The term dates back to a time where it was created to differentiate between sports played on foot and sports played on horseback. They just adopted that name when American football started and it stuck.
He’s being told when to take a dive
Definitely missed that one from my seat.
Why wouldn’t it be?
Will it track his CTE progress?
Collision detection will fill up that CTE ring. 😊👍
That's a great advertisement! I don't know of any 'wearing watch' rules ??
He needs his steps...look at his weak ass glutes.
Would be cool to see more real time stats for coaches by smart apparel. Science nerd me wants to believe he has on some sorta smart clothing that the Apple Watch is tracking. 🤓
When you have to track the workout, you have to track the workout
I think k he’s trying to do a world record on the rings. 😂😂😂
"football"....
What is the most expensive video-streaming service at this time? College
