golf watches- it's time for a ladies version don't you think !

AZX Golf watch

check out this golf watch that functions like a normal watch but helps you keep track of all your strokes, putts and pars for each hole. it stores your score for up to 50 rounds of golf. it provides you the usual functions of day and date, daily alarm, hourly chime signal, stopwatch and backlight. it is even water resistant for up to 100 feet so you can wear it from the office to the golf course without worry. it's water resistance even allows you to dive into the pond to look for the golf ball you hit into the water without having to remove it haha

what i really love is that it comes in a golf ball casing which is oh so cute !!

the only thing i don't like is that it has such a retro look to it. it really reminds me of the black G-shock watch my dad wore for 20 years and finally got a new one about 5 years ago. don't they know that more and more women are playing golf now ! those that find it hard to keep track of their score will really appreciate this product if they had a ladies version. they could make the watch look more stylish or at least more ladylike in brighter colors such as pink or yellow ?

Suunto G6 golf watch

This is an advanced version of the watch above because it not only helps you keep track of your score but also has swing analysis to calculate your tempo, rhythm and length of the swing. cool eh. why is it cool you might wonder... it's because you get feedback after every swing that helps you identify your best shots and develop muscle memory. After your practice session, you can even link up to the Suunto Golf Manager PC software that comes with the G6 Pro to identify areas that need improvement

























i find it very sad that they don't make girly versions for these watches. i'm gonna add these watches to my wish list even though i can't seem to find the AZX one for sale online. hmmm. anyone up for getting me a surprise present ?? if it makes a difference, i'd settle for the cheaper one !! 

i hope one day i can co-create a nice ladies version maybe in a white strap with some bling ? diamonds ?? 

comparison between the bushnell 1500 and bushnell 1600


i've just ordered a bushnell 1500 slope edition !!! whoopie !! i hope the total comes up to less than i would have to pay if i bought it offline. although the slope edition isn't allowed in tournaments, it really will be very useful for my golf practice.

anyway i was researching online, and i found that although the bushnell 1600 is a newer model, its specifications do not differ from the older 1500 model. it seems that the 1600 has a better battery door that was improved in the new model after reviews about the 1500. i think that if you aren't too picky about the look, holding the battery door in place with a rubber band or sticky tape should be fine. The cheaper price should justify the sleek-ness of its look.

however, if you can afford it, i'd suggest you get the bushnell 1600 instead since the newer model also has better accuracy on longer distances.


i'm looking forward to getting my new laser in the mail soon !! will update when i start using it !
