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!

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.

@Carlo Kassam - I've confirmed with the team that iPhone is on the roadmap for completion this year. Things can change, but that's our plan. Thanks for asking!

Johnrancher - yes, these forum topics have a way of morphing with multiple "conversations" being shared. I appreciate your feedback. We're getting close to watch hazards. Stay tuned.

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.

Hi Carlo! Our engineering team is working on this feature for the iPhone app. We plan to add it as soon as possible, however, there's no target date yet.

Here's the latest information about hazards: https://support.golfpadgps.com/en/support/solutions/articles/6000259290-hazards-on-the-map

Hazards are available in Premium version on Android phones at this time. iPhone is next, with watches to follow. There's no concrete target date yet. I appreciate your comment and feedback. The team is working hard to make this happen for our users.
