I do not always want to know what time it is. This is a slightly awkward position for someone who keeps making clocks, but there we are. Quite often the useful answer is not 17:42. It is “quarter to six”, “nearly lunch” or “you should probably start thinking about leaving”. The precise time is useful when catching trains, baking things and joining calls; the rest of the time it can be a bit much.

There are lots of very good ways to get cricket scores on the internet. If you want ball-by-ball commentary, wagon wheels, video clips, scorecards, player stats, match reports, tables, alerts, news, and more then you should use one of the proper cricket apps or websites. They are better at this than my tiny watch app.

I made CricketWatch because those apps are trying to cater to everyone, and I just want to know one or two things. Show me the live England and Surrey matches on my wrist. Not every match. Not every league. Not the IPL unless Surrey have taken a very strange turn. Just the sides I actually want to keep half an eye on while doing something else.
