## What is RunSports Watch?

RunSports Watch allows referees to manage the time, whether it's game time or conversion timers; the score and even yellow cards.

Time is simplified to an on and off button as you would have with your manual watch. Timing features are also found when waiting for a conversion, after adding a try to the score you are presented with a stopwatch counting up to the 90 seconds allowed!

Score is really easy to manage, with a Try button, that automatically times and gives you a yes or no screen for the conversion. Penalty Kicks and Drop Goals are also easy to add through one button press.

Yellow Cards become even easier to manage with RunSports Watch. Simply add a card, enter the number and you'll be presented with a live countdown of how long is left, as well as vibrations through the watch when the timer is up!

Whether you simply want to keep time in the game, or manage the whole fixture from your wrist, RunSports Watch is perfect for any referee.

## Key features

- Game time management
- Conversion timer

### 4/5 — Better than a notepad

*2025-10-08*

This app is so much better than having to get your pad out your pocket and mark down the score etc.

The only things I think I’d would improve is the ability to change the time for how long the half is, between 30/35mins (for junior/colts games) and 40mins for adult games. Also I’ve found that when I’ve gone to look at the time it’s gone back to my clock and I’ve had to re-open the rugby watch, instead of staying open all the time? The time and score is right. But a bit annoying having to double click my watch crown and select the app again. Other than that, superb app!

### 2/5 — Improvements

*2025-09-18*

Carry the team colours across to the yellow card the score card pages (rather than labelling them home and away).

Another useful feature would be to label who has the kickoff ...

### 5/5 — User friendly and intelligent

*2025-09-17*

Easy to use and helps with a lot of the time keeping needed during games. 

Only just started using but it would be useful to have a reminder when the card timer ends. 

Helps to manage the game and like the team colour customisation to keep things simple.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-06-20, version 2.12*

By far the best version for Apple devices I’ve tested. A few nice to haves would be for it to go into do not disturb mode when timer is running. 

I have a cellular Apple Watch and keep getting notifications while using the app.

Also would it be possible to track your fitness? Be interesting to see your running stats per match.

Lastly, having a way to see the data on your iPhone would be amazing. We use information when submitting red/yellow cards etc..

Keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Simplifies Match Managment

*2025-05-06*

A lot fewer things to remember.  Love the yellow card and buzz if you stop the clock for more than 60 seconds features. 
What I would like to see is an on phone app that can store and share the stats from each game.

### 5/5 — App locking up

*2025-03-23*

Unfortunately, whilst I love using this app when reffing, whenever I try to ‘end’ the game the app locks up forcing me to press the bezel button to exit, which then deletes all records of that game!

### 3/5 — Cannot use it alone! Have a separate timer and good old pencil and paper also

*2025-02-08*

Can’t trust it alone. It’s easy to use and can record a lot of data, sadly it has a habit of crashing and it just resets and all data is lost.

### 5/5 — Great ref app

*2025-01-07*

Great App love 99.99% the only change is I would love more notification abilities for end of half/ end of game/ end of card

### 4/5 — Why no supporting app on phone?

*2024-10-21*

Used the app in game for the first time today thought it worked well and it helps you manage a game a lot easier. 
However I feel that a supporting app on your phone that syncs all info would be a fantastic additional tool. 
When you are reviewing the details of the game it really hard to read the info on a iWatch screen.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2024-09-15*

The app its really good and works like a charm…so far no issues but I wish they can add the ability to delete the yellow and red cards (sometimes a make a mistake and add yellow to the wrong team but I was unable to deleted from the record) and they hope it can add vibration when 10 minutes (or 2 minutes for 7’s)   yellow cards expire
