The last time I used the Arccos sensors, I had an iPhone 8 Plus and keeping that beast in my pocket when I played was a non-starter. I loved their sensor design and shot tracking but just couldn’t play with my phone in my pocket. My previous experience using the Arccos Caddie app was bittersweet. However, during the round, the Apple Watch has your needs covered, including those looking to play drink-a-hole rounds. You’ll still need your phone to post scores and to upload scorecard pictures after the round. The watch app doesn’t do everything that the phone app does. It really allows you to keep your phone in the cart or in your bag while you play. It is easier to check yardages and enter scores from your wrist than is from your phone. Shifting functionality to the watch makes using the app so much better. This is not unique to TheGrint but I’m using their app as an example since I have used it on my phone to track rounds played for the past year. It moves the “during play” functionality and interface from the iPhone to the watch. TheGrint’s Apple Watch app does exactly what an Apple Watch app should do. Second, are there apps that could help me play better? Out of the overwhelming number of Apple Watch golf apps available, here are a few that I can see myself using consistently. First, I wanted to see what was available to use during play. I was interested in two main categories of apps. What’s cool is that many of the golf apps that you are using currently also have expanded functionality once you add an Apple Watch to the mix. Maybe not as many golf apps as there are for the iPhone but there is a whack of Apple Watch apps. One search through the Apple App Store and you’ll see there are a whole bunch of Apple Watch golf apps available. Obviously, how the Apple Watch works as a golf watch is going to come down to the apps. Let’s jump right into the “for golf” discussion. It was time to find out once and for all if this watch was the must-have piece of golf technology. So, in the spirit of exploration, I ordered an Apple Watch. That said, it kept sliding across my mind as the gadget that could accomplish nearly everything a golfer would need. Obviously, I knew the Apple Watch existed. But maybe this unfamiliarity is exactly why the Apple Watch kept jumping into my head. In fact, I kept calling it the iWatch for the longest time. I’ll admit that I’m late to the Apple Watch party. Do I really need all of these separate apps or are Apple Watch a better does-it-all solution? While conducting the reviews, I started wondering if there wasn’t a better way to accomplish all these goals with one single piece of technology. In just the past year, I tried the Lagshot, Tag Heuer’s Connected smart watch, the Oura ring and, most recently, the Whoop 4.0 strap. I’ve reviewed a lot of golf gadgets over the years for MyGolfSpy: GPS and laser range finders, swing trainers, electronic gadgets and general fitness sensors.
