Ease of use
The GolfBuddy WT5 even beat us to the first tee. Within seconds of getting the clubs out the boot of the car and walking to the first tee and turning the watch on, we were logged in to our local course and ready to go.
While extremely similar to its brother - the WT4 - the new GolfBuddy WT5 offers a sportier design in fresher colour combinations, but we found it to be just as light and comfortable on the wrist. The numbering and shot data is also once again easy to read.
This time around there are three side buttons to the right and an on/off button on the left, which makes it even easier to operate the user-friendly menu, which is exactly the same as the WT4.
Best features
The main feature of the GolfBuddy WT5 is the precise yardages to the front, middle and back of the green from the golfer's angle of approach. All the information is there at the glance of a wrist.
It also allows you to scroll through the hazards by pressing the bottom right button, to make sure you stay safe of the water and the beach. The "Pin Placement" tool is most helpful if you have been given a pin sheet before the start of your round, but nevertheless, this feature allows you to dial in the yardage exactly to the flag.
Setup
Charging up the device is a little fiddly to start with, but once up and running for the first time, you will quickly get used to it.
To charge the WT5, insert the device into the charging dock and align the charger post with the four buttons on the side of the unit and tilt it so the right side goes in first. Press it in and wait until it clicks. The battery indicator will then display and it will tell you when it is fully charged.
The WT5 comes complete with a rechargeable battery and provides eight hours of battery life in full GPS mode and 35 days in watch mode - which is slightly less than the WT4.
