Suunto has released a golf watch which measures and processes data collected by its wearer, such as shot distance and score, and can suggest club selection too. All shot measurements and data collected on course can be downloaded to a home computer for analysis and storage, and historical data can be uploaded to the watch when playing specific courses. uunto is the world leader in sports wrist-top computers, beginning its company selling high quality compasses prior to WWII and evolving into a sports technology company thanks to the enormous success of its diver’s compasses.

This company has brought us this G9 Golf watch. Its also a weather station of all sorts. It gathers a lot of information and has a seven day memory and can display a six hour trend graph to help to decide whether there’s too much likelihood of getting wet that afternoon.

The G9 is available in market for AUD$1625.
