What GolfWRXers are saying about their favorite watch for golf
In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite watches for golf. WRXer ‘Sourpuss’ asks fellow members: “Dealer’s choice, cost is of no concern. What would you wear if you could afford it? Top 5 of your choice?” and WRXers have been weighing in with their choices in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- sheppy335: “Garmin S40. Love the feel and look.”
- golfkrzy10: “Apple iWatch with the hole 19 app. Yardage, score, fway, and putts. Perfect for my minimalist walking views on the golf course.”
- jcboiler: “Second the Apple Watch. Need to look into the apps though.”
- Deadsquiggles: “If it didn’t bother me to play with a heavy watch, I’d wear my Deep Blue NATO Diver Automatic. But instead, I wear my cheap GShock.”
- Golfjack: “I thought I was going to come in with a witty comment about my expensive watch, but looks like I’m late! Anyway, I wear my Galaxy Active 2 normally now. Used the Golf Caddie app for a few times. It worked well enough, but I don’t see it helping too much. Still prefer using apps on the phone if I need GPS info. Otherwise, I just use my rangefinder.”

I have the GMT II in SS with the Jubilee Bracelet, and a SS and gold with the Indigo Blue face Navigator and an old Pulsar in Gold which I am having renewed as well as the 84 yr GMT. But for a nice particle watch I wear a SS Swiss Army watch with a leather band which is very light and keeps great time. I often switch between the Rolex and the Swiss Army. I just found my Pulsar that had been lost in space for a few years,
I remember a few years back when Stadler won a Rolex he said I really don’t need another one, i already have 6, I really could use a Pickup Truck. A watch is just a watch.

I just wanted to say that the Rolex GMT Master-II “Root Beer” in rose gold is just stunning!
