MOTOACTV Golf Watch Review

The MOTOACTV Golf Watch has been retired. Check out our current recommendations for today's best golf rangefinders..

The new Motorola Golf Watch is jam-packed with features and we’re looking forward to seeing how users respond in our upcoming MOTOACTV Golf Watch Review. This latest entry into the GPS Golf Watch competition goes well beyond providing distances to the front, middle and back of the green, which is all that is offered on the very popular Garmin S1 Golf Watch.

Here are the most notable features of the MOTOACTV Golf Watch:

• Distances to front, middle, back of greens
• Distances to hazards
• Preloaded with 20,000 golf courses
• Scorecard feature – tracks your relationship to par
• Track data like total steps taken, distance covered and calories burned on the course
• Tracks key stats (putts, greens in regulation etc.)
• Tracks the clubs you hit and can be customized to show only the clubs in your bag
• Wirelessly uploads your rounds
• Online, you can see a virtual representation of your round using a satellite view of the course and get the details of every shot you played
• Keeps scorecards online for reference
• Allows sharing the details with friends

Compare the MOTOACTV Golf Watch with the Garmin S1 and the Expresso WR62.

Our only question… Is it too much? Simplicity may be the biggest contributing factor the high ratings of the Garmin S1. Often, the more features there are, the more problems to be had. We’ll let you know when the user reviews start coming in.
