Warm-up (before the match)
You reach this screen by choosing a sport, which is what the app opens on. It is titled with that sport — Tennis, Running, Golf — so what the rest of the screen offers always has its reason written at the top. While you are here it is warm-up: everything can still be changed, and no point has been recorded yet.
One gesture back goes to the sport picker, which is the fix if you chose in a hurry. If you have switched the launch question off (Settings → Sport → Ask at launch), the app opens straight here and back leaves it, as it always did; the sport is then whatever the Sport row says.
What you set here
| Row | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Start match | Ends the warm-up and opens the score screen |
| Format | Sets to win, tiebreak type, deciding point — see Formats |
| Match type | Singles or doubles; in volleyball, doubles for a beach pair or a team for a side of more |
| First serve | You or your opponent — not for football, handball or basketball, where nobody serves |
| Partner | Who is on your side of the net — only in doubles, and only from a court booking |
| Opponent · Partner · Second opponent | Names you type or say — the opponent in singles; in doubles, when no booking names the players, your partner and both opponents |
Tap a row to change it. Your choices are remembered, so the app starts with them next time — the match type included, so if you played doubles last Tuesday the row still says Doubles next Tuesday. It is on the screen you start the match from for exactly that reason.
Names
Tap Opponent to type a name, or say it — the watch opens its own keyboard, with dictation. In doubles with no court booking there are three rows: your Partner, the Opponent and a Second opponent. Leave any of them as No name; to take a name back, open it and send nothing.
The names go with the match into your history, on the watch and on your phone. They are never sent to a club — a doubles line-up a club sees comes only from its own booking, and when a booking can name the players these rows are not shown at all. They are also not kept once you close the app: they are somebody else's name, and a watch that remembered it for no match would be holding it for nothing.
Doubles
Set Match type to Doubles and the match is scored as a doubles match: the serve rotates through four players in the order the rules give, the tiebreak hands over the way it should, and a set boundary does not lose it. Nothing about the input changes — a tap, a bezel detent and a swipe still score for a side, and in doubles a side is a pair.
The score screen does not say which of the four is serving. It marks the serving side, exactly as in singles. Naming a player would need all four names and the order each pair serves in, and neither fits a watch screen worth reading at arm's length — so it is not there rather than half there.
If you play doubles at a club that books courts, pick your booking first and a Partner row appears. One tap on the name of whoever is on your side, and the other two are your opponents. That is the one thing a booking cannot work out on its own, and answering it here is what makes the match arrive at your club complete — see Joinovo.
The row is missing whenever the watch cannot ask honestly: no booking, a booking you are not on yourself, or more people on it than a court holds. The match is still played and still recorded as doubles; only the names are missing, and they can be added at the club afterwards.
Left or right: where your score is
There is no "my side" row on this screen, because under the app's normal setting — Server first — the serving side is read out first, so your score changes sides with the serve.
If you want to stay on one side, choose Your side first in Settings → Score order; a My side row then appears there and names left or right. Worth choosing if you are left-handed or wear the watch on your right wrist.
The bezel is the same under both: clockwise is always your point. If it ever adds a point to the wrong player, the match menu can swap it mid-match — see Match menu.
Settings
Settings is the last row on this screen — see Appearance. During a match an upward swipe means undo, because that is what is frequent there.
