Padel on Apple Watch – keep score and record your workout

Your watch is always with you on court. Here is how to use it as a score tracker without losing sight of the rally.

Why keep score on the watch?

During padel, your phone usually sits in your bag or on the bench. Your watch is on your wrist – a quick tap after the point and the score is right. A glance shows the score, the server and the set.

Scoring without looking

On models with the Action Button or the Double Tap gesture, you can score in PadelTracker without looking at the watch: one press scores the point for your team, press again right away and it is undone. Your eyes stay on the game.

Your workout in Apple Health

During the match the watch records a workout with heart rate and active energy. After the match it is saved in Apple Health, next to your other workouts. The app asks for your permission first.

Tips for the court

  • Charge the watch before the match – a long match with a workout uses battery
  • Wear it snug enough for a clean heart rate reading
  • Agree before the first serve who keeps score, so it is not counted twice
  • If you are unsure about the score, look at the watch together instead of arguing

This guide is not a substitute for the official rules. What counts are the rules of your federation and what is agreed at your club or tournament. Which gestures your watch supports depends on the model and watchOS version.
