What features are available on Samsung Galaxy/Gear?

Please note, the new version of Golf Pad does not support Tizen OS smartwatches. Please make sure to install the Golf Pad Classic app on your phone to continue using your smartwatch.

For a quick on-course review of the app functionality on Samsung Galaxy/Gear watches, please see this video. Detailed information and screenshots are available below.

While using Gear/Galaxy watch out on the course you will be able to:

• See the distance to the green (front, middle and back), your score, club recommendations and switch between holes:

• See shot tracking distance, layups and elevation.

Keeping score

You can keep score in 3 ways. Select the scoring mode in Golf Pad Classic Preferences > Smartwatch sync on your phone:

• Select 'Track total scores only' to keep your total score for each hole. Just tap the screen to show the scoring page:

• Use 'Track shot distances' mode to add individual shots/putts/penalties. Tap the screen to add a shot. Golf Pad will automatically pre-select 'Add putt' if you are on the green. You can also add a penalty, mark flag (note that by adding the flag position the app tracks your current location, so it is more convenient to mark it when you finish the hole) or putt out from the same view.

• If you prefer to track shots and select clubs, use 'Track shot distances and clubs'. Tap on the dot in the center to enter scores. When you add a shot, the app will show the club selection screen. Tap on a club and it'll be added to your shot. You will also see the options to mark flag, add penalty, undo last action or putt out in the menu. 

TIP: If you normally track individual shots, but occasionally need to finish the hole and enter total score without tracking shots or putts, select the 'Putt out' option. You will be able to add up the total score on the hole. Any shots you tracked before putting out will be saved with their clubs and locations.
