Golf Buddy Aim W11

Golf is an expensive one. Thousands of pounds for decent clubs, membership fees and of course, however much money you choose to spend at the 19th hole! So, from that point of view, this watch is pretty good value. Especially if you’re just starting out in golf. It comes pre-programmed with pretty much any course you can think of (there are almost 40,000 courses around the world in 170 countries!) and has several functions you can use to help improve your game.

To begin with, it can provide shot ranges, using GPS so that it knows exactly which hole you are playing on. The screen is full colour and shows the hole you are on in its entirety and there is also a zoom feature so that you can focus on one part of the hole for shorter range shots. Speaking of range, this is shown by a concentric band, giving you a good idea of where you can get to with your shot and it tells you the distance to the back, front and sides of the Green from wherever you are taking your shot. Not only does it have all the above, the Aim W11 also highlights the hazards for you – really useful if you’re new to a course as it saves you having to do a recce of each hole before playing, giving you more time to actually focus on your game!

The battery is good for about 13 hours (You should fit around 3 rounds of golf in that time) before it needs recharging via a USB port and the watch itself is comfortable and lightweight at just 50 grams so it shouldn’t affect your swing. Also included is a digital scorecard so you can easily keep track of your round all on your wrist. RRP £199.99
