GolfBuddy isn’t messing with a good thing. The two predecessors to the VS4, the GolfBuddy Voice and Voice+ are on the top of our rankings charts for a reason…

GolfBuddy VS4 User Rating: 4.41 Stars 4.41 out of 5 (457 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

they are small, super easy to use and get great battery life. The VS4 builds on that by adding water resistance. Voice and/or digital display provide distances to the front, middle and back of the greens. Dynamic green view shows the shape of the green from your angle of approach and shot measuring gives you direct feedback about your game. Early user reviews are terrific and the price is nice! A watchband can be purchased separately.

We’re still evaluating user reviews, but we are expecting the GolfBuddy WT3 will be near the top of our charts when it’s all said and done. The only negative we’ve heard so far is that it’s a little bulky, which is true of most golf GPS watches. This may not be the smallest, but it is packed with more features than the Bushnell neo-XS, which claims to be the smallest.

GolfBuddy WT3 Watch User Rating: 4.08 Stars 4.08 out of 5 (103 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

The WT3 not only provides distances to the front, back and center of every green, it has dynamic green view which shows you the shape of the green in relation to where you are standing and allows manual pin positioning for more accurate distance. It also has distances to water hazards, bunkers and trees. We appreciate the scorecard feature, but wish it also allowed stat tracking. As with most golf watches, it has a shot measuring feature. Of course, the best feature of all… is the price!

GolfBuddy BB4 Band Review

Too Bad GolfBuddy didn’t ever get this one to market.

GolfBuddy BB4 BandWe are totally jazzed just thinking about doing our GolfBuddy BB4 Band Review. The truth is that we love the convenience of golf GPS watches, but for those of us with small wrists, they’re a little bulky. Although the BB4 can give you the time, it looks more like a fitness band than a golf watch and we are expecting it to be much more comfortable than any of the golf watches currently on the market.

The BB4 will provide distances to the front, middle and back of every green, as well as the time of day. You can also measure your shots with it and your steps, as it has a pedometer. The battery is USB rechargeable and lasts 10 hours. It will be available in black or white.

GolfBuddy will be releasing several other new golf GPS devices in 2014 and all of them look very promising. Look for these new handheld unit, watch and voice models from GolfBuddy in the near future.

Here are our preliminary thoughts for our GolfBuddy VT3 + Watch Review…

GolfBuddy VT3 User Rating: 3.00 Stars 3.00 out of 5 (11 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

The GolfBuddy Voice became a huge success not only with golfers who needed the auditory prompts, but with a much broader audience because of the size and performance. GolfBuddy is capitalizing on that success with several new units, including the VT3 which does not have the voice prompts, but has a touch screen and offers the versatility of working as a golf GPS watch or it can be detached from the band and will fit on a belt clip or visor, or easily into your pocket.

The VT3 has lots of features, including manual pin placement, shot measuring and a scorecard. On the other hand, you can simply leave it on the main screen and you will get distances to the front, middle and back of every green. The GolfBuddy VT3 comes preloaded with over 36,000 golf courses worldwide and never has any fees.

We’re definitely excited about the GolfBuddy VT3 and look forward to seeing how it stands up to the competition as both a golf GPS watch or simply as a small golf GPS.
