Which rules Padel Watch knows and where you set them before the match.

Before every match you set the rules. The watch then counts games, sets, serve and side changes accordingly.

Where

  • iPhone: when you start a new match, under Rules. Your last choice is preselected.
  • Garmin: on the start screen, Change rules, one question per screen.

What you can choose

  • Deuce: classic (advantage), Golden Point or Star Point.
  • Format: best of 3, best of 3 with super tie-break, one set to 6, pro set to 9 or time limit.
  • Tie-break at 6:6: on (default) or off. Off means the set goes on until a team leads by two games.

What the rules mean is explained on the padel rules page.
