Tom Tom Golfer 2

Anyone seen this one and thinking of buying?

 

Has the same shot detection as the garmin s20 which has me interested. If only one of these watches was a direct competition to game golf

I was looking for the same thing, and found it: Pebble Time. Works with the Game Golf app on my iPhone and effectively gives me a GPS Watch, with full Game Golf functionality.

Interesting. So how does this work in practice? Game golf app on the pebble time watch and you manually input your club selections and tag on the watch?

The Game Golf app for Pebble is a companion app to the Game Golf app for smartphones. The Pebble app allow you to interface to the Game Golf app from your Pebble. The solution uses the GPS in the smartphone. I keep my smartphone in my bag on the pushcart, so distances are a little bit off, but not so much that it becomes a problem.

 

You can effectively use the Pebble in three different ways:

1. As a GPS Watch, showing distance to front, center and back of the green.

2. As a GPS Watch with scorecard. Single push of a button will update your score on the hole. The shot will be tracked, too, but unless you select a specific club also (seee option 3) you will not get correct club info.

3. As a full Game Golf solution. Selecting the chosen club and entering a shot on the Pebble will give you full shot tracking with club info.

 

Compared to the GPS watches you get the much richer functionality of Game Golf, at a much lower cost. If you have a smartphone and a Pebble for other purposes, the Game Golf solution is free.

What you do not get is distances to hazards on your Pebble.

I looked at the Tom Tom 2. To me, it's like the Garmins. A nice GPS watch with a 'tacked on' shot tracking feature.

I'm trying the Garmin X40 golf/fitness band. It has FCB of green, hazards, scoring, autoshot, stats tracking (FIR, GIR, Putts) and ability to see your shots on a map. Plus steps, calories, heart monitor (all the usual fitness band stuff).--- Worth a look if you want a combo device with above features.

Tanks for the link to the review. Seems the autoshot technology on these GPS watches are not quite there yet. Don't think i'll be upgrading my Garmin S2 in a hurry.

I have been using the golfer 2 and have been pretty happy with if after two seasons with Arccos. The shot detection is a little finicky but other than that I am very happy with it.
