More affordable golf GPS watches provide a simple yet effective approach to focusing on accurate distance calculations, shot tracking and scoring. These more simplistic versions tend to have high-resolution screens with a black and white display. Depending on the make and model, some provide a premium touch screen display while others operate under the push of a select few buttons. These devices tend to provide an easier interface to operate and is therefore a brilliant option for a golfer who isn’t looking to complicate things and wants a straightforward set of yardages.

Some GPS watches higher up the price range provide advanced technical benefits via a coloured touch screen display which includes a full navigation overview around individual holes on thousands of preloaded courses. This is perfect for the keen golf enthusiast who wishes to go into every detail for viewing a full map and scope of the course in order for them to best visualise their real life shot. The more advanced golf GPS watches continue to increase the provision of additional features with some containing smartwatch notifications, health and activity data and auto shot tracking. Depending on the make and model, a select few models from both styles also provide individual club sensors to be placed into each golfer’s club in order for them to link up with their GPS watch and provide accurate data for shots hit with each club.
