Get Soccer Scores Subtly On Your Wrist

Picture this, you're in a meeting with the big wigs right as your team is hitting the pitch.  You want to know how the game is going but you can't be pulling your phone out every 5 minutes to check the score. If only there was a way to subtly check on your team... Well hopefully there soon will be. Thanks to renowned watch designer Richard Hoptroff of Hoptroff London, and helped by his recent kickstarter campaign, we may soon see a luxury watch on the market with more functionality than we are used to.
The watch shown above, uses dials to tell you the score of your favorite team as well as the match time, all on the face of a suave luxury watch.  The project has since evolved to give backers the option of what data they wish to be displayed on the face of their timepiece, but as it started as a soccer related idea, I felt it merited a mention on here.

Now the only drawback to getting in on the ground floor of this project is the price tag.  £400 gets you one of the first 20 models of the new watch which is out of the range of possibility for most poor college kids like myself.  But the price tag is more than justified for not only the functionality of the watch, but also the design and make.  Hoptroff of London has a reputation for creating beautiful luxury watches, and with this new advance in technology, surely the project merits a look from our more financially gifted readers.
