Would be great to see the distance to say bunkers or water on my Apple Watch.
This feature has been available on Garmin gold watches for many years
Thanks and keep up the great work!

This is a super important feature and I don't understand why it isn't being worked on as a higher priority. There are several friends I know of who would love GoflPad but wouldn't pull the trigger due to lack of this particular feature. You have the GPS coordinates of the hazards! show them on the watch!

Hi Luke - it is a big undertaking, however, we are currently working on this. We do plan to have an option for users to contribute as well once we lay most of the ground work. Thanks for your comment and for sharing the link to the mapping tool. - Cindy

It is only available on Wear OS, not on Tizen (like samsung galaxy watch 3), if I understand correctly?

Happy to see hazard distance working on my Wear OS Ticwatch Pro 3. However the size of the font of the distance of hazards is so tiny that it is impossible to read without putting on reading glasses (see my screen below). Like this it is pretty useless on the course.
Please make the font size bigger and bold.
The same applies for the time indication on the main watch screen and the score and hole number. There is enough space to make the font bold and slightly bigger.

@Beat - Thanks for bringing this up! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the new distance to hazards feature on your smartwatch. We totally understand how important it is to have a font size that's easy to read, and we appreciate your feedback on this. I'll definitely pass your comments along to the development team for consideration in future updates.
Yesterday, I just used Golfpad for the first time. Everything worked well and the statistics will be interesting in the long run. However, as Beat mentioned, the font of some information, especially the hazard info is way too small. Please change this shortcoming as fast as possible! Many thanks.

Please fast track hazard distances for Samsung watch, even if at additional cost, this is a key requirement for difficult courses especially if they're unfamiliar

Is this option available for samsung watches? Or is it in the same timeline? It is the only option I'm really missing in an otherwise GREAT app.

Please add automatic distance to hazards also for Wear OS watch, thanks.

@Cindy - The font size in the GolfPad app unfortunately does not change if I change the font size in the Wear OS system settings. Please check with the dev team to enlarge the font size and make it bold so I can see the distance to hazards and also the time, hole # and par in the main GolfPad screen on the Wear OS watch.

I just tested the behaviour with large and small Wear OS font size. I have TicWatch and Golfpad version 73 in the watch. In fact some fonts are indeed changing with the Wear OS font size change. I made screenshots for small font (left side) and large font (right side).
On the main screen the clock is changing from impossible to read to very tiny. The font size for HOLE, PAR and SCORE remains unchanged and still too small to read without reading glasses.
On the Hazard screen only the word HAZARD changes in size, but the important distance information remains unchanged and too small to read.
Please rectify this deficiency, users will be happy. Thanks

@Cindy, I still do not see the distance to hazards on my Wear OS watch. Do I need to setup something?

Hi Carlo - I'm checking on this for you and will post an update once I know more. UPDATE: the team informs me we do not anticipate this being ready in December. It is something we are working toward, it just didn't come together as soon as we had hoped.

Ok I apparently misread your post so I thought it was available on smartwatch. That's what this topic is about after all.
Still happy with the progress, but I'll store my excitement for later use.

In the meantime, have you tried adjusting your watch settings under "accessibility" and "font size"? That could potentially make a difference for you. Here's some helpful information on that: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/11183305?hl=en-GB
Thanks again for reaching out, and please let us know if you have any other questions or suggestions.

Hi Cindy, Could GolfPad not just adjust the http://scout.golfpadgps.com/ tool to allow us to mark the front/back of any hazards ourselves?
That would allow us to get the hazard distances that so many seem keen for, whilst also saving Golfpad lots of legwork.
NB: For anyone unfamiliar with the tool, watch the short video at: http://scout.golfpadgps.com/
