Is it a rare case to use Apple Watch for golf use?
Smart watches have some useful points for golfers.
For example, it will tell you exactly the position from your standing position to the goal (pin) at your arm, or will you analyze your play and record it?
There are many golf apps that can be installed on smartphones, but all apps store golf courses around the world.
The hole of the golf course is par, and it accurately determines how far from the second and third battles to gourin.
There are some apps that can be linked to smartwatches such as Apple Watch, so if you use such an app, you can quickly look at the arms and check the remaining yards without taking out the smartphone.。
However, the use of smartwatches on a golf course is a considerable rare case.
In the world, a lot of "smart watches for golf" specialized in golf functions have been released, and I think many people say that "I do not usually use smartwatches, but use golf watches only when playing golf."increase.

If such a golf watch is a "specialist" watch, Apple Watch is the "strongest generalist".
The biggest advantage is that Apple Watch can do anything in almighty without specializing in one function.
I would like to verify that Apple Watch is really competent as a golf watch.
There are many golf apps in Apple Watch
A lot of golf -related apps that support Apple Watch have been released as such.Many are monthly, but if you enjoy golf several times a year, you may not lose it.
Here are some typical golf apps.

The application corresponding to Apple Watch is characterized by "distance measurement" and "planning function".
You can recognize the current hall with GPS and automatically switch the course map, and you can check the remaining distance while the smartphone is put in your pocket.

In addition to the Apple Watch, it is a golf app that can be used in Casio Pro TREK, and almost all Japan's golf course (about 2,300 courses) is registered.
On the Apple Watch screen, it displays not only the distance to the pin but also the position of the hazard such as a bunker, so you can play while setting a strategy without using a smartphone.
Fee: Monthly 240 yen
Is Apple Watch suitable for golf?
And the app used this time is "Golfshot" that is free monthly.
What can be used for free
・ The distance to the green is always displayed ・ Display basic hole information
Only, the paid version of the "professional function" can record the score by operating the Apple Watch, and displays the distance to the hazard.
Price: Free (professional version is ¥ 12,000 yen)

Certainly, it is very convenient to display some yards to the green without taking out a smartphone.If you walk one step, it will be displayed by one yard, so it is always connected to GPS.
However, this "always connecting to GPS" is surprisingly troublesome.
The biggest weakness of Apple Watch, the "bad battery holding", will surface into Moro.
In fact, I started playing almost full charging, but when the half (9 holes) came to the clubhouse, the battery level was 10%.
That's why I actually used the Apple Watch app for play only in the first half of the half.
In the second half, I checked the remaining yards while taking out the smartphone (it was also in power saving mode, so other functions could no longer be used).
After all, it is a little troublesome to take out the smartphone and check the remaining yards, so I understand the gratitude that I can quickly check at hand.
In this feeling, even if the app that uses GPS is fully operated, the half will be at the last minute, so if you bring a charging equipment and charge it during a lunch break, there seems to be no problem.
As conclusion,
"The Apple Watch can feel the convenience of a smartwatch specialized in golf, but it will not be usable unless you have a charging code."
That's my real feeling.If you are playing golf frequently, golf watches may be recommended.
Here are some smart watches made for golf.
