By Elsie Flynn 6 Minute Read

Close your eyes. Picture yourself in a stadium, sat in the terraces, watching your beloved team play. Maybe you’re at a soccer game. Perhaps you’re at the baseball, or the basketball. Wherever you are: imagine you’re winning by the slightest of margins. There are only mere seconds to go; only a few more breathes to endure.

You’ll be one of thousands in the crowd, watching the clock ticking down at an agonizing pace. “Blow the whistle, ref!” from the left of you; desperate tutting and watch-tapping from the right. A fanbase sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for the sound of the whistle for permission to erupt in ecstasy.

At the centre of it all is a watch. An incredibly accurate, and high-tech, watch.

This weekend marks the 141st FA Cup Final in England. Chelsea meet Liverpool, with both battling to take the crown from reigning champions Leicester City. It’ll be the most important 90 minutes of the season. After all, nothing beats the spirit of the cup.

In celebration of the longest running cup competition in English soccer, we’re lining up our finest smart watches and sports watches on the market for the soccer players, golfers, divers, and athletics amongst us. So you can be your own timekeeper, just as precisely as the referee.
