GolfBuddy announces the Fee-Free WT5 GPS Golf Watch

GolfBuddy have announced the launch of a new GPS watch, the WT5 is Golfbuddy's slimmest, lightest. and f, most eature-packed model to date.

The new GPS watch boasts some significant improvement son its best-selling predecessor, the WT3, and is slimmer, lighter and completely re-styled with a softer, more comfortable strap.

Additionally, the three navigation buttons which give the golfer access to the WT5's industry-leading suite of functions and technology, have all been moved to one side of the watch making it even easier to use.

Available in two smart new colour schemes (white/orange and blue/black), the GolfBuddy WT5 has an RRP of just £159.95. And unlike some other GPS watches it offers distances to greens, hazards and targets and premium features like scoring completely free of charge - with no annual fees to pay.

WT5 boasts Pin Placement Technology so the golfer can put the flag on any one of nine preset locations on the green (left, centre, right x front, middle, back) for added accuracy and over 37,000 free golf courses are preloaded. Dynamic Green View gives distances always directly from the golfer's angle of approach.

A digital scoring system is included as well as distances to hazards and targets at no extra cost. Golfers can also measure their shot distance and see how far they've walked through a full GPS tracking system. And, of course, it can be worn off-course as a smart watch.
