Golf distance measuring devices (or DMDs) were first used in 1995 with the introduction of laser technology. GPS devices arrived about five years later. It seems that nowadays just about every golfer has one or both of these devices.
Until last week I’d only ever owned a laser and I’ve had my current one for about five years but it still works fine. So I was excited to try out the latest GPS watch from GolfBuddy- the aim W12. And it was quite timely because I collected this as I was just about to go on a golfing trip to the Highland region of Scotland.
GolfBuddy Aim W12 GPS watch review: NCG Summary


NCG SUMMARY
The GolfBuddy aim W12 is a premium GPS watch. As a watch ‘novice’ I found it straightforward to set up and use. It has lots of features, most of which are useful.
I found the watch to be accurate with reliable touch screen technology. It was especially useful in poor weather conditions when using a laser rangefinder can be tricky.
