When you are out on the course—one you know, or one you never played before—the advantage is in knowing every inch of the course. Without an experienced caddie you will be challenged. Because, as every golfer knows, by knowing the course you can better select your clubs, to hit the perfect shot. With the TomTom Golfer GPS Watch the advantage is yours. This unit is like having a mobile caddie on your wrist.
The TomTom Golfer GPS Watch is designed with a sleek, classic look and it is easy to use. This lightweight watch (11.5mm thick and weighing around 50g) fits well around the wrist and it is made to collect the latest course data so, that you can play with confidence. A 1.3-inch, 168 x 144, monochrome screen provides for a bright, easy to read, display and the item’s backlight serves well for evening or twilight rounds.
The TomTom GPS connected watch offers tons of nice wearable features:
Touchscreen, custom pin positioning, a green view, back of the green, lay-ups, doglegs, distance to hazards (with hazard warnings), and a digital scorecard to keep track of all your shots. It offers a 10-hour battery life and is 5ATM water resistant to weather any rain that you may encounter during your round.
Getting started is a breeze, simply put it in golf mode and lightly tap on the navigation button located beneath the face of the watch. Almost immediately you can start searching for your course. It’s awesome to see this in action.
The TomTom has GPS and GLONASS both included, so the signals quickly lock in. After you’ve verified the course you are on the TomTom Golfer GPS Watch recognizes exactly which hole you are on, and as you walk, the shot distance automatically changes (in meters or yards, whichever you preselect). It gives you a generated view of the hole, hazards, and plots their yardage on a chart in addition to showing bunker positions in their shapes. The scorecard operates manually, so you will have to input each one as you go.
Conveniently keeps track of distances and helps you to focus on your shots. Best of all, it mostly always switches to show the next hole without you having to press anything at all. However, if you should need to switch it manually, that’s very simply done by just tapping to select the next hole. Be careful not to accidentally leave your round. This could happen if you tap back on the screen too far. Although, should it happy you can just go to the option to “resume” your round; but the timer and distance will not be reset.
One great feature is the ability of the Tom Tom to keep track of your golf round time, along with the distance that you have travelled, and it estimates your total calorie burn from the round. This can all be very helpful for those watching their weight and have a need for daily physical activity monitoring.
At the TomTom Golfer GPS Watch homescreen there are several options for managing the setting and for gaining additional information by simply scrolling. You can also sync the Tom Tom to your smartphone by tethering it to your PC. Do this one time and you’ll never have to go through it again, because the app will update course info automatically. And when you’re not on the course, the Tom Tom is beautifully worn as a digital wristwatch.
