New Feature Announcement: Galaxy Watch 4

Galaxy Watch 4 golf stand alone mode with Golf Pad

Some lucky golfers received Galaxy Watch 4 over the holidays. Are you one of them? If so, Golf Pad has great news. Highly anticipated updates are rolling out now.

UPDATE: January 25, 2022

Some users previously reported not receiving the update in Google Play. This has since been resolved. You should now see version 15.82.1 (or later) in Google Play. This version will give you access to Standalone mode and club tracking. If you don't see the update or have trouble, please contact support.

NEW Standalone Mode and Club Tracking


We’re happy to announce two new highly demanded features are being rolled out now: Standalone capability, so you can use the GPS-equipped watch without the phone, and club tracking right on the watch.

This adds to the current features like distances to front/middle/back of the green, shot tracking info, and the PLAYS LIKE distance. PLAYS LIKE takes into account elevation change, wind, temperature, humidity and more to provide you with the most accurate club recommendation. All of this and much more is included in Golf Pad Premium, currently only $29.99/year.

Learn how to get Premium here. When you upgrade, you lock in your subscription price for as long as it remains active. Even if the subscription cost goes up, you’ll continue to enjoy the lower price.

Update To Use New Features

To ensure a smooth rollout, it may take a few days for the update to be available everywhere. Look out for version 15.8 to arrive from Google Play. Be sure to update Golf Pad both on the phone and on the watch.

We continue to work on more user requested features for Wear OS. Up next is PLAYS LIKE details, current shot tracking distance, layup points, quick scoring and more. Your Premium subscription includes free feature updates.

We'd love to hear what you think! If you have questions or feedback, please reach out.
