Sports Gifts for Coworkers, Bosses and Clients

Questions people ask

What is a good sports gift for a coworker or boss?

A Sports Meter: a silent Wi-Fi desk scoreboard with their team’s live score, record and next game. It is office-appropriate and works with any team.

Does it work on office Wi-Fi?

It needs an ordinary 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network with a password. Networks that make you sign in through a web page, as some corporate and guest networks do, will not work; a home network always does.

Is it a good retirement or client gift?

Yes. It is personal without being risky to choose, because the person sets their own team, and it keeps working with no ongoing cost.

Can I order several for a team or an office?

Yes. For a larger order, email [email protected].

Which sports and leagues does it cover?

Football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer, pro and college: the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, NWSL, college football, men’s and women’s college basketball, the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and Liga MX. More than 1,700 teams in 16 leagues.

Can it follow more than one team?

Yes. One Sports Meter follows up to six teams at once, from any mix of sports. They take turns on screen, and a live game takes over until it ends.

Is there a subscription or an app?

No. There is no subscription, no account and no app. It connects to home Wi-Fi and updates itself.

How hard is it to set up?

About a minute. Plug it in, scan the code on its screen with a phone, choose the home Wi-Fi and pick the teams. Teams can be changed later from a phone.

How much does it cost?

$119 to $149, depending on the battery option. It comes with a 3D-printed stand in a choice of colors, a USB-C cable and a quick-start card.

Does it show live scores?

Yes. During a game it shows the score, the clock and the period, usually well under a minute behind the live action. Football adds down and distance; baseball adds the count, outs and runners.
