A common question golfers ask is “What kind of smartwatch should I use with Golf Pad GPS?”
Golf Pad GPS, a golf rangefinder and scoring app, is compatible with more watches than any golf tracking app on the market today. This means golfers have a lot of options when choosing the best smartwatch.
3 factors to consider when deciding which smartwatch to use with Golf Pad GPS:
- Cost - be realistic with your budget. Yes, it’s nice to look at the latest models, but if you’ll only be using the watch on the golf course, it may be better to save the cash for more golf balls instead. Buy a budget-friendly watch using online resources like Amazon and eBay so you can get great performance with Golf Pad GPS.
- Appearance - Smartwatches have become more refined looking in recent years. They are lower profile with discrete bands and watch faces that look like actual wrist watches. You’ll spend a couple hundred to as much as a couple thousand dollars on these more modern watches. If looks aren’t important to you, an older model will save you a lot of money.
- Features - The models listed below all work seamlessly with the Golf Pad GPS app. If you want to use your watch for other features, like music, measuring work-outs, or staying in touch with friends on social media, you’ll want to consider all the features offered. Many watches have lots of stand-alone features. Others require the use of applications.
Current compatible smartwatch models include (as of March 2020):
Samsung Gear (including Gear Fit2)
Android Wear Including:
Update July, 2018: Pebble and Magellan Echo are also compatible with Golf Pad, however, they've been discontinued and are currently in maintenance mode with the manufacturers. As a result, Golf Pad compatibility may not continue to be supported.
