Tom Tom reveals first GPS watch
Published: Last updated:
GPS maker Tom Tom has unveiled its first golf watch. It features inbuilt GPS and all manner of game-enhancing data, including pin distances, hazard locations and layup points. The TomTom Golfer is a direct rival to the Garmin Approach range.
“Understanding the challenges ahead will help golfers to improve their score,” Corinne Vigreux, TomTom’s Managing Director said. “The TomTom Golfer provides at-a-glance graphics to critical course data, helping golfers to make smarter decisions and improve how they play.”
There’s detailed data on more than 34,000 global golf courses, and it can be wirelessly synced to a dedicated smartphone app to ensure up-to-date course data is always at hand. As well as offering precise yardages to the front, centre and rear of greens, the TomTom Golfer will allow users to track their round scores. Shot distances and round times can also be logged.
Lining up at just 53g in weight and 11.5mm thick, the watch comes in two colour schemes – grey/green and white/green. It is waterproof to 50 metres.
RRP: £199.99.
