We don't want to sit and read through manuals or run through fiddly menus before our new device is set up and ready to use, we just want to turn it on and get going. When it comes to technology, I think most of us would admit that we are pretty impatient. The digital scorecard allows you to keep track of your scores during your round, whilst the watch boasts a 13 hour battery life which should give you enough juice for three rounds of golf without having to recharge. The aim W11 is designed to be heavy rain proof, meaning that it is suitable for use in all conditions, and you can choose to personalise the look of your watch by selecting from the wide array of interchangeable watch faces. There are 40,000 golf courses pre-loaded, with automatic course and hole detection software allowing you to focus on your golf without constantly fiddling with the watch.įree wireless course updates are available via bluetooth within the smartphone app, which can be used to cast yardages and other features from your watch to your mobile device. The device weighs just 50g, ensuring that it does not hinder your golf swing, and comes with a choice of two different straps - black or red, white and blue. GolfBuddy has added a new shot distance measurement feature, allowing you to track the yardage of every shot you hit with precision. There's a zoom function which allows you to get a closer look around the green as well as picking out potential landing points from the tee thanks to the arced distance readings. The aim W11 replaces the aim W10, which makes sense, and is said to be Golf Buddy's most advanced GPS watch to date thanks to a whole host of features designed to give you a clear view and more control on the golf course.Ī 1.3" full colour TFT-LCD touchscreen display shows you all of the necessary course information in plenty of detail, including distances to the front/centre/back of the green, hazards, pin placement and hole layout. We got our hands on the new aim W11 GPS Watch, which contains a few new features and promises extra-long battery life, to see how it performed.

GolfBuddy's range of watches, GPS devices and rangefinders make them one of the most popular options in the UK when it comes to buying golf tech. For many golfers these days, having access to technology on the golf course to aid their decision making can be just as important as the 14 clubs in the bag, as we all look to make the game easier for ourselves.
