Golf is far more than a game. It’s an existence. A lifelong quest for precision. You walk out onto that pristine green, your shiny set of irons casting long shadows behind you in evening sunshine. And look down at the watch on your wrist. The minutes don’t just tiptoe away; it’s kicking brother-in dry and is even better than a caddy Could the same be said for your best golf and fitness watches?

Tony, my regular golf buddy, a couple of years ago threw his ball with a bad hop that splashed into another water hazard. “I’ve never hit anything other than blindly in my life,” he said while checking his device for wind stats. Garmin Approach S62 had to be where we’d got it right–he snapped his score two without even noticing it/thanks to its onboard chip and software. It’s like having the Encyclopaedia Britannica of golf courses strapped right onto your arm. Over 41,000 preloaded course maps, a vivid touch-screen and it even measures your swing. Tony is faithful to this equipment, saying that one time it saved he from an imminent triple bogey.

Those who want a more all-round fitness companion would be wise to invest in the Apple Watch Series 8, which is worth its weight in gold. With health-tracking functions that put a space shuttle to shame, it is every fitness nut’s partner. Heart metrics, real-time ECG, sleep analysis you can think of–it’s a wearable computer in wellness terms. The sleek look’s deceptive; tough mind, tough body.

In the category ‘If you think variety means the spice of existence,’ Suunto 9 Peak is a fitness bar that professionals can consume it. It goes that little bit further, with a ridiculous battery life compared to all surrounding competitors. Who wouldn’t want an expedition companion better than they are at least their in-laws’ homemade cooking? It is more sporting-a special watch for those happy with vertigo.

Let’s not forget about Fitbit’s Charge5. It’s like the little black dress of fitness watches–simple, effective and never out of fashion. It minimizes your distractions and focuses both your heart and mind on health.

Which technological marvel shall we opt for? It’s a bit like choosing a movie to watch on Friday night: Everyone will find something. Elusive and yet electrifying. Wrist racing is what you want to check out this time, then make up your mind and get flying!
