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!

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.

Do you expect this great feature to be available on the iPhone this year?

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.

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.

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.

@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!

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.

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

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.
