Genuine question: why wouldn’t the watch be legal?

[–] Lurals8402@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] derpyfox@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bookies telling them take a dive. Most sports here, it’s no coms from the time you hit the dressing room.

[–] kolinthemetz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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.

As long as it is the Nike version it is allowed. 😂 Nike sponsors the uniforms.

[–] BaBoomShow@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

College has strict rules with who can get a headset and talk to players/coaches. You can read texts on the field.

[–] DiscardedPizza@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Also, someone can text him information about the other team's plays.

[–] Adventurous_Pay_5827@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Hope he doesn’t have collision detection activated.

[–] curiouspoops@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

fall detection too, i think it's on by default when a workout is detected

[–] steeldragon88@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nope, it’s active all the time, and likes to go off if I reach down to pick something up too quickly at work

[–] Sway_RL@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can turn it off though, I’ve got mine set so fall detection is on while doing a workout.

[–] steeldragon88@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I never realized it was possible to.

[–] curiouspoops@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] tarsier86@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mine is on all the time. I’ve had it go off several times when I’ve been hot at work!

[–] supasit58@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Hit at work?

[–] DKplus9@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I thought fall detection was only on by default if the wearer is over a certain age like 65.

[–] curiouspoops@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] mmxxvisual@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

He must have “football” mode on

[–] zpk5003@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why would Jim Harbaugh do this

[–] techieman33@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jim didn’t have a clue it was happening. It was all Connor Stallions.

[–] neatgeek83@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I swear I read an article about this earlier in the season.

[–] mhowie@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Assume that's an Ultra?

[–] FastLine2@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Watches and Jewelry weren’t legal back when I played high school ball

[–] skithegreat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gotta get those steps in!!!

[–] SimpIyFlacid@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’s being told when to take a dive

[–] ProdesseQuamConspici@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mrrobvs@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s an ultra. You’re seeing the large protrusion on the side that’s creating the illusion of a centered crown.

[–] BigBaldFourEyes@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I can’t believe they’re not Nike branded.

[–] Break_Street@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

When people complain about shit they should’ve be worrying about It’s not that serious. Let the man get his rings.

[–] Specialist-Estate976@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it's a rugby, man, football is played with foot my ass..

[–] cha0ss0ldier@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] taiwan-numba-one@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gotta close them rings

[–] beanie_0@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why wouldn’t it be?

[–] moriend@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] ElectrikDonuts@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Will it track his CTE progress?

[–] Soaddk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Collision detection will fill up that CTE ring. 😊👍

[–] Jack_-_R@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That's a great advertisement! I don't know of any 'wearing watch' rules ??

[–] techtom10@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Not sure, but Odell Beckham Jr wears a Richard Mille. I think that's more of an issue

[–] shivaswrath@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He needs his steps...look at his weak ass glutes.

[–] olydan75@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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. 🤓

[–] bills_2@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

When you have to track the workout, you have to track the workout

[–] G0LDiEGL0CKS@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I think k he’s trying to do a world record on the rings. 😂😂😂

[–] Oldcrrraig@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Gonna assume yes because multiple players wear them

[–] LaoLie@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

"football"....

[–] Alternative_Case_878@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What is the most expensive video-streaming service at this time? College
