If you think that TomTom is only related to car navigation, you might want to read this, especially if you are a golfer. Recently, TomTom has been venturing beyond navigation, Using their expertise on GPS, they have come out with watches. I have actually reviewed one of them (the TomTom Runner Cardio GPS watch). Now, they have launched the TomTom Golfer, a watch for the avid golfer in you.
Here are some features that I think are important when you are in a golf game.
- Greenview — View unique green and hazard graphics before your shot.
- Hazards — See distances to individual hazards along the fairway.
- Green distances — Precise yardages to front, centre and back of green.
- Round tracking — Keep track of the score, distance, and time for your round.
- Lay-up — See remaining distances to lay-up points.
- Weather and water resistant — Play in any weather.
This watch has data of over 34,000 golf courses around the world, including Singapore. Link it with the app on your mobile phone, you will get the golf course information on your wrist. It is available now at S$429. Read the Press Release for more information.

Master the Course with TomTom Golfer
Singapore, 27 November 2014 – TomTom today announced its foray into the golf watch category with the launch of the all-new TomTom Golfer, a GPS sports watch designed to make it easy for golfers in Singapore to improve their game. Unique course graphics clearly show accurate distances to hazards and lay-ups, and the best approach to the green.
The TomTom Golfer’s graphical display shows key golf course data from more than 34,000 golf courses across the globe, including Singapore, on its extra-large screen. Course updates are delivered wirelessly via a unique smartphone app, so golfers can trust they are playing with the most up-to-date course information.
“The TomTom Golfer provides at-a-glance information of critical course data, helping golfers to understand the challenges ahead and make smarter decisions about the way they play,” says Simon Barker, Commercial Director Southeast Asia, TomTom Consumer.
Designed with golfers in mind with a lightweight and slim appearance, the TomTom Golfer uses GPS technology to automatically recognise nearby courses and locate the next hole. The Golfer can also keep track of the score, distance and time of a round.
The TomTom Golfer is priced at S$429, and is available at Motionsports, Advance Lap, Harvey Norman and Challenger.
