Best golf GPS watches: 7 amazing golf GPS watches that will keep your game on track


When it comes to finding the best golf products, every golfer needs a little guidance. Don’t sweat it, we got you covered! For our new Best of Everything series, we’ve canvassed the golf accessories, apparel and game-improvement space to identify the very best stuff for your game. Think of us as your personal shopping assistant.

Remember when golf watches simply meant having a watch with a tacky golf club and golf ball motif? Yeah, we were gifted and regifted dozens of those in our day. But, today’s GPS watches are definite keepers and must-haves. Modern GPS watches are so smart, they’re taking the place of scorecards, yardage books—even some handheld GPS and laser rangefinders. Nowadays, judging how far you are from the pin doesn’t require much—just a flip of the wrist and boom—a precise distance between you and your target is acquired.

It doesn’t stop with distance, either. You can see and view course maps and elevations, keep score, track progress and much more—again, all on your wrist using Bluetooth and GPS technology.

We put together a small handful of some of our favorite GPS-equipped watch models for this season. Each will not only help you hone in your shot distances — they should help speed up your game as well.
