TomTom Golfer 2 Watch

[stokie_93]

Has anyone got one of these?

Thinking of investing in a golf watch, the only thing that puts me off normally is how clunky they are, I want to be able to wear one that doesn't feel impeding to myself.

Like the look of these just wondering how they perform?

I have one Stokie and love it. Exchanged a Garmin for a TT2 after the Garmin strap split and think this is far superior, depending on what you want. Cheaper models will provide the same front/middle/back yardage, but the TT2 also gives more detail to hazards, lay ups and depicts green side bunkers as well as showing shot distance.

I use Game Golf so don't really use the shot recording features, and have found when I did use it it occasionally records a swing on a practice stroke or even when taking clubs out the bag. However that's easily remedied by removing the shot. The after game analysis on a mobile is limited compared to, say, Game Golf though.

I don't think its especially chunky. Have experimented with it on either wrist but generally have it on my left and the glove doesn't interfere as the function button is on the front (my old Garmin with a button on the side was regularly pressed by accident while walking/carrying).

Overall I think its a good option. I prefer a watch to a hand held as its always with you and easy to check yardage. For me its plenty accurate enough.

Course coverage seems excellent and whilst it sometimes takes a few minutes to pick up the GPS when you start a round, as long as you switch it on 5 minutes before teeing off its fine. Auto hole advance is a nice touch too. Also records distance walked, time played and calories burned.

Also, importantly for me, its big enough to read without having to put reading glasses on!!!

Thanks for this mate! Great help.

Think i'll invest in one.
