It’s surely not a thing for tennis pros. But for amateur club tennis players, it may be a big help. At this level disputes over score are nothing unusual, spoiling all the joy of playing tennis. Scorekeeping wristbands are to nip these disputes in the bud. They cannot compete with smartwatches in terms of the functions provided. But being single-purpose and “manual” is for their advantage in the end. It’s not quite comfortable to operate smartwatches while on the court – with sweaty fingers.
In the heat of the game, it’s easy to lose track of the score. Keeping it is not rocket science, but it’s one intense rally that makes you catch your breath and a scoreboard in your head goes suddenly blank. Win a point, move a slider to mark your current score, and always be on top of it. Don’t lose your focus. Don’t lose your points. Don’t lose your temper.
