SKYCADDIE SW2 £125 / web.skyolf.com
Anyone with a pencil can track scores, but it’s difficult to measure your real performance level in golf. You could bring a friend along to offer advice, but they’re only going to distract you while you’re lining up that killer putt. What you need is a wrist-strapper with an expert golfing brain.
It’s just an entry-level golf watch, but the Skycaddie SW2 has enough features to help you chip away at your handicap and save time on the course.
GPS tracking means you can measure not only the distance from tee to green, but also how far up the fairway you’ve hit that seagull-scaring drive. And it also pairs with the Skycaddie mobile app (IOS and Android) to give you expanded views of the course on your Bluetooth-synced smartphone screen.
Of course, the main benefit of a watch is that you don’t have to faff around with that phone, so its automatic detection of pin distances is particularly handy. It’ll even act as a basic fitness tracker too, counting your distance, speed and calories burned to help you justify that trip to the 19th hole.
