Apple’s smart watch, Apple Watch, is known for having many important features for both daily use and athletes. That’s why many professional athletes use these devices.
Now, there has been a development regarding the use of Apple Watch in the field of sports. The World Surfing League (WSL) announced today that Apple’s smartwatch has been accepted as official equipment. This development marked the first time the device was officially used in a professional sports organization.
Apple Watch will provide information to athletes during competitions
Athletes will be able to access the application called WSL Surfer during competitions with the help of Apple Watch 8 and Apple Watch Ultra. The application, which is compatible with the WSL scoring system, can provide athletes with information on many subjects such as scores, waves, temperature. Due to its water resistance, Apple Watch carries this information easily and safely to the wrist of the athletes.
WSL CEO Erik Logan said: “The Apple Watch’s unique features, such as ease of use and water resistance, make it an ideal solution to support surfers competing in the harsh conditions of our world tour. Surfers need information when competing. WSL Surfer, which we developed for Apple Watch, achieves this by providing real-time data.”
It was stated that every surfer will receive an Apple Watch with the application pre-installed, while it was stated that all of them will train with the device before the new season, which will start on January 29 in Hawaii.
