SkyCaddie’s new wearable technology, the LX2 GPS Smart Watch, is a simple yet powerful way to measure and read yardages – even in bright sunlight.
“The LX2 is a sleek, stylish watch that’s lightweight and comfortable to wear both on and off the course,†said Jacqui Surman, SkyGolf senior vice president and COO. “Most impressive though is the ‘Always-On’ JDI 1.28-inch touchscreen display that allows you to see the screen crisply and clearly in direct sunlight.â€
The LX2 shares the same highly accurate, exclusively ground-mapped golf course data with all other SkyCaddies, including the SX550, SX400 handhelds and LX5 models. The no-annual-fee Go Play plan is preloaded with more than 35,000 of SkyGolf’s error-corrected maps, providing accurate and dynamic distances to the front, center and back of green along with fairway and layup targets.
Distance information from your angle of approach is displayed in large easy-to-read numbers. Its “no touch†automation offers Auto-Course, Auto-Hole, Auto-Distance and Auto-Green Depth to provide intuitive, context-sensitive yardage information every time you look at your wrist.
“Using the same next-generation technology of our award-winning SX family of rangefinders, the LX2 delivers all the information you need to play your best because it’s loaded with stroke-saving technology, all at an affordable price point,†Surman said. “The SkyCaddie LX2 weighs a mere 2 ounces and features a responsive, easy-to-use interface that makes navigating during play almost touch-free. It also features a water-resistant casing and incredibly comfortable watch strap.â€
Its powerful Li-Polymer battery allows up to two rounds of golf on a single charge from its magnetic charger with cable. Its ultra-fast, multi-core processor and receiver provides rapid and stable GPS satellite acquisition.
Fitness features include time, alarm, stopwatch, step count, step goal and step distance, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for fast data connections.The LX2 Smart Watch, which retails for $199.95, is also upgradeable with a nominally priced membership to add a host of additional features found in SkyCaddie’s LX5/LX5C watches and SX series rangefinders.
