[Hublot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-tourbillon-novak-djokovic-goat-edition) launches a stylish luxury smartwatch silhouette that is geared toward soccer enthusiasts and keeping them informed. The timepiece will likely elevate the anxiety, that die-hard fans experience, when they are at the workplace and there is a game on. The product will give the wearer frequent World Cup updates.

The luxury smartwatch was conceived, as [FIFA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-soccer-ball) asked Hublot to create a piece specifically for referees. The silhouette is made out of titanium and it mimics the company's original 'Big Bang.' Albeit the name of the watch is quite wordy -- The 'Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia,' its functionality and user interface is quite straightforward. Among various bits of game information, the luxury smartwatch will keep consumers in the loop by vibrating and displaying the word 'GOAL,' when a team scores.
