New simple golf watch required

[3offTheTee]

I have a Motocaddy MP3 at present. Will probably need an electric buggy soon and a simple , easy to use watch with pre loaded courses for when I go away.

All I need is front/ back/ middle/ hazards and not much else. Colour a bonus. Not worried about adding my scores.

Looked briefly @ GolfBuddy Aim W11 but did not realise how many there are.

Any thoughts/ recommendations would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I have a golf buddy voice 2 but they don't appear to make it any more. There are still some around it seems, or similar, https://www.mcguirksgolf.com/p/golf-buddy-aim-voice-v10-gps--rose-gold/gb21h4203002 You used to be able to get a watch style strap to put it in so you might find something suitable with a bit of googling.

Front, middle, back and, with a magic incantation using the buttons, you can set a mark and measure how far you shot went.

Another vote for this. Comfy to wear, great battery life, loads quickly, does what you've asked for. I'm very happy with mine, had it 18 months.

I used the phone app for a while but to be honest it's a bit of a faff. The watch is really simple to use gives distance to F,M B and also any hazards in seconds.
Can also keep your score (which I don't use) and measure shot distance if you want.
As Lord Tyrion says the battery life is excellent as well and it's comfy.

Definitely S12, it easily lasts 4 whole rounds off one charge and is comfortable to wear.
