Voice Caddie, very much the ‘new boy’ on the golf GPS block, launches its new T1 watch the UK this month.
Taking on the big boys such as Garmin, GolfBuddy and SkyCaddie – who all have watch products firmly established – the T1 is from the same company that produces the VC300, the ultra small, ultra light GPS rangefinde.
The T1 includes all the elements required in a GPS watch but also claims to have the ability to measure a golfer’s swing tempo by utilising in-built ‘oscillation sensory technology’.
The superior design and slick user interface provide all the benefits of a veteran caddie in one convenient, easy-to-use product. In just a single glance, golfers can obtain yardages to the front, centre, and back of the green, regardless of which course they are playing, as the T1 automatically detects the course being played from its constantly updated database of more than 37,000 – and all with no additional fees.
Adding to its functionality, a digital scorecard allows golfers to keep track of their scores and analyse their progress by giving them access to their playing history.
What’s more, As well as its golf functions, the stylish T1 combines all the essential features of a fitness watch including running and cycling modes, that measure speed, distance and calories burned. With a time and date display and an alarm clock it also doubles up as an everyday watch.
A spokesman for Voice Caddie explained: “The T1 incorporates the latest GPS technology with a number of unique features. We really feel it is the best-value GPS golf watch available. The product proved extremely popular when it was first launched in the USA and we expect it will be equally popular in the UK – especially at its price-point.”
It has an RRP of £149.
