Golf Tech - Samsung Gear S3 and GolfPad GPS Review By Degenerate Golf

Recently I did a review of the Samsung gear s 3 with the golf Navy app it's a device, I love, it's an app that left a lot to be desired. For me, didn't replace my game. Golf live. It plays my Microsoft band. So today what I want to do is want to take a look at golf pad and the golf pad app to see exactly what that can do with the Samsung gear s 3, let's get out about the western frontier s3 app and, as you can see here, there's not a lot going on, as there probably shouldn't be with a Smartwatch application. You get distance to the pan front middle and back, and you get a recommended shot.

Selection based on your statistics, my golf pad GPS application from your phone, it's black with white and blue lettering, which allows it to be contrasted to the brightness of the Sun. However, honestly it sometimes gets lost out there in the daylight. I did have to jack up the s3 brightness up to 10. In order for me to use it, you can enter shots and putts in order to tag your shots during play, which will sync to the smartphone application that you must be connected to in order to take advantage of the GPS and the statistics in the application. So now, let's take it out in the course all right, so we're on hole 2 here and what we've got to do is we've got to use.

First, we got to remember to advance confesses in order to get in the hole we're getting a reading of 317 the center of the green 328 to the back. You have to select a shot so that it records the current shot, not unlike a game. Golf live through a club track, so from 3:17 out, as you can see, we hit that solid, perfect right. The middle of fairway we're getting a reading now of 82 yards to the middle of the green. You've got a really accessible, really accessible flag here, which means I'm going to miss it.

But now what I remembered to do is to select my shot so that that states to 244 yard rive. So that sounds about right here, for what I'm trying to do. This will I'm getting a reading of 355 to the center of the green 370 to the back on the app on the phone. You can really take a look at the mapping and look at the terrain. I take a look at where your shot lands and enter that into place.

You can't do that on the watch. It's really obviously just limited to adding in your shots tracking your shot and a rangefinder, so the absolute would be syncing these roads. If we easily we're getting two counts of my shop, answered it on the watch on to the app I've added new so on the fly editing, so we'll see how that goes. Okay, so we finish our round here with the golf pad GPS app. As you can see, I got two percent battery just as charge it up wait for to come up.

The golf pad GPS did drain my battery on my phone. My watch, however, still has some power left so as I got into using this app, the watch does a good job with syncing with the app now. What is a little annoying about the golf pad GPS app on the phone is that you have to do a lot of data. Cleanup now I understand it's trying to take over or provide the same type of service as like a game. Golf live type of device where it's giving you the ability to tag your clubs with the Smartwatch or the app itself, and then it will keep statistics up.

You know from your clubs the problem with that is there's so much going on. You have to not only tag the shots in your watch, but then clean up the data here, for example, I left 18 a little blank so that we can do some cleanup here. Furthermore, you'd have to go to this little scrabble tile here and out pops a list of the shots that you've taken. So you would go in here, and you would put where you started. We keyed off from the Blues, which is back there.

Now. You would tag where you took your second shot. You know tag this as a driver. Okay, I tagged this I remember this is the data cleanup you have to do. I have to remember that my second shot I played a layup with a 7-iron okay, so you're, not tagging where your 7-iron went.

You're tagging, where you started your seven on much like with a game golf where you're going to tag as you take a shot, so my driver landed from the blue tees to right there, where I tagged. My second shot. That second shot is where the driver lands and where you are picking up your next club. So that would be a seminar so as I put okay here. This is where I started.

My seminar- and this tells me how far my 7-iron went, based on the next shot based on the location of the next shot, so I started my driver where it was and then, where I hit my 7-iron would have been 261 yards. That's what that means. So now, when I go into my third Club, which was a gap wedge from the rough I laid up with the 7-iron and then how far did my 7-iron go? So that's that's how far my 7-iron went, which was 146, I, pulled it and chunked it a little. So we're going to say: okay, now I'm taking a gap wedge and I put that gap wedge, it's a shot and I want to set this shot where it landed, which was right in this bunker, where I, usually land. So this is us cleaning up the shot data, so you have to you have to do this.

Unless you can remember every club you have during the round, you have to do this after every hole if you are using the Smartwatch, and it syncs with the phone app. You have to add these clubs in after every hole or, however much you can remember, if you're using the golf pad app from the phone, you have to select the proper, the proper Club. So it's a lot of a lot of manipulation. You have to do so. Let's put okay in that my gap wedge went 60 and then this ended up being this ended up being a sand wedge from the sand, came out of the bunker properly but then rolled off the slope down to there.

So that's okay, I shipped with I, shall use the putter what the putter was from the fringe, and that was I. Do that par. So I got my power out of it. So that's all the data manipulation you have to do with the golf pad app, and you see just sitting here in my car. It took us five minutes to do that.

It can be a little cumbersome. So that's one of the one of the problems I have with was a golf pad app there's just too many things that you have to do other things you can do here. It does do a good job, taking the fairway greens and regulation and in sand saves statistics. So let's check statistics on this one and I wasn't using my m2 I was using my alpha BB. So today, average 253 longest was 290.

I accidentally hit into some guys on a fairway because I didn't know, I would be carrying that long, but it does give you interesting statistics. Alright, so I played a couple rounds this weekend with the golf add GPS app for your Android device. What did I think about it? The app is good. The features are good, they're, definitely usable. There is a learning curve and there are things that you will have to concede.

If you want to use it on a course in real time, are you using a golf application or are you using a standalone Smartwatch that gives you the same sort of features that you would find in these type of devices comment down below?
