New features added to the TAG Heuer Connected Golf Edition

TAG Heuer has announced new features for its highly popular TAG Heuer Connected Golf Edition connected watch, and has also partnered with professional golfer Tommy Fleetwood to wear the watch in upcoming matches.

A revolutionary watch for golfers

　New features have been added to the TAG Heuer Connected Golf Edition, a connected watch developed for golfers that incorporates TAG Heuer's latest technology.

　Since its release in June 2020, this smart device has established itself as a hugely popular choice among golf communities around the world. Building on the company's watchmaking tradition, this new-generation watch was created in collaboration with IT professionals from companies such as Google and Intel.

　The 45mm black titanium case ensures a stable fit while playing, and the design makes the buttons easy to operate. The interchangeable straps make this a versatile watch that can be worn not only on the golf course but also in a variety of other situations.

Thoughtful new features

　The latest update to the Tag Heuer Golf app included with this game adds a variety of new features. By combining the Tag Heuer application with the Wear OS by Google operating system for smartwatches, you can maximize the game's functionality.

Improved 2D & 3D mapping capabilities

　The game's golf app features realistic 2D and 3D maps of golf courses, and this latest update brings even more improvements. The 2D maps have been especially improved, showing detailed information about the forests and trees surrounding the course. The app includes up-to-date maps of over 40,000 courses around the world.

　The smartphone app has also been enhanced. The iOS version uses Apple's 3D graphics engine, Scenekit, to improve ball trajectory simulation. This allows players to use a reliable supporter to help them develop the best strategy for their game. The Android version also sees significant improvements to the 3D map.

Proposing the best club

　There are many different types of golf clubs, and they need to be used according to the situation. With this update, a new feature has been added that allows you to move a target on the map and it will suggest the appropriate club based on the distance. Rather than simply measuring the distance, the accuracy of the recommended clubs will be improved by recording each individual shot.

Expanded scoring capabilities

　One of the most useful features for players is the scoring function, which records the score of the play. This function has been improved, and it is now possible to visualize the score in stroke play, stableford, match play, etc. This is useful not only for competitions but also for friendly matches.

Accurate shot and distance recording

　The shot tracking feature, activated by pressing the pusher at the 2 o'clock position, is a feature that users particularly appreciate. It not only tracks your score, but also records your shot distance as you walk to the ball. By syncing your records with your smartphone, you can simulate your shot trajectory on a 3D map for post-round analysis. Note, however, that the 3D map display is only available on iOS devices.

The connected watch favored by professionals

　TAG Heuer has partnered with professional golfer Tommy Fleetwood. The Golf Edition is highly acclaimed by world-class golfers, and its performance is undeniable. He is said to wear it not only while playing, but also in his everyday life.

"I love this watch and wear it both on and off the course. Golfers will benefit from the well-thought-out features that help them improve the precision of their game. If I had to pick one feature that stands out, it would be the distance shot function, which takes into account the actual conditions I'm playing in and tells me how my driver shots are performing on the course and the perfect time for me to try out a new club," says Tommy Fleetwood.

　This update makes the Golf Edition even easier to use and adds more convenient features. The ability to add new features as the software evolves is one of the attractions of a connected watch.
