If you are a fan of GPS watches and in the market for a new one, definitely consider the WT5 as, in my opinion, it can’t be faulted. I wasn’t constantly aware of it while I was playing and it didn’t hinder my swing in any way. It has everything you need and is one of the lightest and most comfortable I have ever tested. In conclusion, the GolfBuddy WT5 is up there with the best GPS watches on the market. It automatically and very quickly recognises when you move onto the next hole. There are a host of other features like scoring, distances to hazards and it is possible to track how far you have hit the ball.

The display is clean and clear with yardages to the front, middle and back of the green. Once charged simply turn it on when you reach the golf club, select the golf function and it will pick up your course and location.ĭuring testing we actually started on the 6th hole, not in a deliberate attempt to catch it out, and it knew where we were straight away. It couldn’t be easier to charge and activate the WT5. I’m not a ˜watch-wearer’ when not playing golf but for those who are, I think you could easily wear this simply to keep time on a day-to-day basis. Our top of the range section offers a lineup of GPS Watches from the majority of GPS leading brands including Garmin, Shot Scope, and Samsung Galaxy.

It also comes in a white and orange design. The GPS Watch is a purpose built golf navigational system which is designed to provide assistance with distances and course mapping, all at the convenience of being worn on a player’s wrist. I like the blue and black colours on the model I was testing and wouldn’t feel compelled to take it straight off after golf. With the WT5 you can barely feel it on your wrist which is exactly what I want from a GPS watch. See our review of the GolfBuddy WT4 GPS watch The WT5 is a lot lighter with it being made from plastic as apposed to it’s predecessor which was metal and a bit weighty. 5 For me the GolfBuddy WT5 marks a ˜back to basics’ approach in terms of the look which is a massive plus for me as I found the futuristic WT4 a little too jazzy, like something out of a James Bond movie.
