When it comes to the golf GPS watch market, players are truly spoilt for choice, with many, many models available from various manufacturers at various different price points.
It can be difficult to pick out the best golf watch for your game but, right now at PGA TOUR Superstore, you can grab one of our favorite models with a tidy 13% discount, bringing it down to the lowest price that we have ever seen it at!
The model in question is the Shot Scope G5 GPS Watch which, even before the added discount, ranks as one of the best value golf watches with an RRP of just under $150.
Coming with 36,000 preloaded golf courses, two rounds of battery life in GPS Mode and 10 days plus in Watch Mode, it is a simple to navigate watch that is lightweight, versatile and crammed with useful features for the golf course.
Beginning with the performance, which is displayed in a user-friendly format and generous screen size. Some may panic when they see the four buttons in each corner, but there's no need to worry as each is labelled to describe its function. What's more, when you arrive on the course and select 'play golf', you are greeted with front, middle and back distances on the main screen, as well as numerous other features like the time, battery level, hole number and current score.
Like the best golf GPS', there is the ability to measure the distance to the corner of doglegs and hazards, which is an extremely useful feature when tackling a course you are unfamiliar with. However, it's not just the on-course aspects that make this a viable option for under $130.
Off the bat, the outer ring of the display is slightly raised, which should reduce the risk of damage. Also, with a lightweight, minimalist look, the Shot Scope G5 can easily be worn off the golf course, as the sporty, compact look meant our tester barely noticed he was wearing it.
Featuring with two strap options from the 12 available, there is off-course appeal, especially as you can opt for a clock design over a digital display, something which means it can be worn all of the time...
