TomTom Golfer: A Smartwatch For Golfers

A lot of smartwatches are available to choose from, but if you have some particular activity in your life that gets a lot of attention, having a wearable designed specifically for it might be ideal. For those whose special activity is golf, you're in luck: TomTom has introduced a new smartwatch just for golfers.

The watch is called the TomTom Golfer, which isn't terribly creative but is easy to distinguish from competitors. The watch is handy because of the data it contains — information on more than 34,000 golf courses, with that information being updated daily. One can search their course to pull up the data (if it is included, that is), and the updates are shuttled from one's paired smartphone.

In addition to course data, golfers can use the Golfer to keep track of their game information, such as score and distance. One's distance from hazards is shown, as well as lay-up points. It appears two band colors will be available — white and black — both backed by bright green.

As for hard specs, the Golfer features a display resolution of 144 x 168 pixels, and weighs in at 53 grams. The construction is waterproof, so there's no worries about using it while in the rain. The device is up for pre-order now for £199, which works out to about $325 USD. Shipping will start in the next month or so.
