Ever wondered why refs double-wrist their tech? It’s not fashion—it’s precision.

- **Watch One:** The continuous match clock.
- **Watch Two:** Tracks major delays like injuries and VAR reviews.

By comparing them, refs calculate exact stoppage time. When one fails, the game stays synced. It’s the ultimate fail-safe for the world’s most dramatic sport. Time is never truly lost!
