Hublot Premier League

It’s a smartwatch for fitba fanatics

Mike Dean called – he wants his watch back.

Tell that peacocking prat in black he can whistle for it. Geddit?

Look, we know nobody grows up wanting to be Michael Oliver rather than Mo Salah; but if you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re not likely to get signed by Liverpool any time soon (even if recent form suggests they need all the help they can get), wearing one of Hublot’s limited-edition

Big Bang e Premier League smartwatch­es might just be the closest you’ll ever get to living the top-flight dream. It’s certainly a lot cheaper than buying a Lamborghin­i and painting it gold.

So how’s it different from a normal Hublot Big Bang?

This Wear OS watch comes with a special Match Mode that alerts you to everything from goals and substituti­ons to VAR decisions and time added on – making it much more practical than carrying yellow cards around to show to people who jump the self-checkout queue. Powered by a Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, with a 1.2in 327ppi AMOLED display and 1GB of RAM, its 300mah battery will only last a Super Sunday, but the titanium case and purple strap will make sure you’re always on brand.

With the Premier League or Prince?

We don’t remember the Purple One ever turning out for Burnley, do you? He wouldn’t have stood a chance against your average no-nonsense centre-half, not even in those shoes. Actually, with over 500 players in the Prem and only 200 watches being made, there won’t be enough of them to go round; but considerin­g the average top-flight player makes enough in a day to buy two of these, they’re probably not quite fancy enough for the likes of Aguero, Aubameyang and, er,

Phil Jones anyway.

IN MATCH MODE IT ALERTS YOU TO GOALS, SUBSTITUTI­ONS AND VAR DECISIONS
