Unless you live under a rock, then you probably know Apple is releasing a new iPhone and new Apple Watch.
What you may not have known however is that Golfshot was featured, it was quick but we have it here for you to enjoy!
So what does this mean for Golfshot and Apple Watch users? Here’s what you can expect:
A display screen that is nearly 20% larger than the Apple Watch Series 6.
Faster charging and also an 18-hour battery! We know that Golfshot drains the battery a bit so we are hoping this alleviates some pain points!
A stronger and more crack-resistant screen, you know if you get hit with a random golf ball or thrown club!
The Always On Retina display is also brighter, so no more squinting in the sun trying to see your best tracked shot and hole previews!
Apple Watch S Series 7 is also certified IP6X dust-resistant, making it more durable in environments like the beach or the desert, such as out on the Golf course!
We can’t wait to see our Golfshot community out on the course using this great new watch!
Love the the combi of a good Golf App and a better Apple Watch
Great app but terrible watch battery capacity (yes also the new one) and is why I do not use it.
We are sorry to hear that, we have some FAQ’s on saving battery here: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000959354-How-long-should-I-expect-my-Apple-Watch-battery-to-last-while-using-Golfshot-, https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500002823962-How-much-battery-does-Auto-Shot-Tracking-use-
Apple Watch SE works with Golfshot app?
Yes it does! Apple Watch Series 1 & 2 are the ones not supported!

Love paying for an app to later find out to need to subscribe for new features. Way to take care of your customers who committed early to your platform. I’ll be quick to NOT recommend this app to others.
If you are a Golfshot Pro member, you will be getting all new features. If you are a Plus member, please email support@golfshot.com to see how they can assist.
I use both the app and the watch and yes it is draining the battery of the watch a lot. But I still really enjoy it and I cannot start a round without it! 😀 I will try to turn off GPS on the watch and see how it goes! Keep up the good work!
I totally agree. The only way to conserve battery life is turn everything off and then what is the point of the watch.
When is Galaxy watch going to be added
We currently support the Tizen software used in Samsung watches! Please email support@golfshot.com if you are curious about a specific model watch working with Golfshot!
My Apple Watch series 6 suddenly stopped advancing manual and is not tracking shots. Help!
Please reach out to support@golfshot.com they can check your account and look for issues or bugs!
Läuft die App auch auf smart Watsch Samsung Aktiv 4?
Golfshot does work with the Tizen platform!
Appreciated evolution. However, even the Apple Watch 6 in combination with Golfshot Pro is a strong recommendation for every golfplayer. I am happy with it.
But what about golfers who wear their Apple Watch on their right wrist and are right handed… shot tracking please!
This is in the process!
Since I got my Apple Watch I have used GolfShot on it but if I don’t charge my watch right before playing I run out of battery.
We have some battery saving tips n our FAQ’s here: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000959354-How-long-should-I-expect-my-Apple-Watch-battery-to-last-while-using-Golfshot-
What app are they using on the commercial?
They are using Golfshot 🙂
Then charge your watch before playing!
How to enter my golf scores and receive my handicap?
Right now we only allow actual handicaps through the USGA. So if you are in the United States, you can purchase a handicap through your local club or e-club and integrate it with Golfshot. If you are outside the US, you can use our Average to Par. This is not an actual handicap that can be used for tournaments and such, but uses the WHS to accurately calculate your unofficial handicap. Here is some help with Average to Par: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017867833-How-do-I-set-up-my-Golfshot-Average-to-Par-
I don’t have issues with it draining my battery life.
My golf shot calculates distances based on where my iPhone is, not my watch. Is there something that can be done?
In your main settings of Golfshot, please go to Apple Watch –> Use Watch GPS should be turned on! If issues persist please email support@golfshot.com so they can troubleshoot with you!
I have this same issue and I have gps on my watch
Please email support@golfshot.com and they can assist further!
I love Golfshot, but I wish there was an easy way to track my actual putts. Hoping the new watch might offer this ability.
We have been working on tracking putts, keep an eye out for this!
Yes please ! And would love to see the gained strokes as well to better analyze my game
I am a left handed golfer that wears the watch on the left wrist. will this work for shot detection? Last time I tried it did not work.
We are still working on getting this feature to detect accurately when wearing the watch on the trail wrist. We will keep everyone updated as this progresses.
Waiting for the app to use the watch’s ability to “feel” and note when club makes contact with ball so as to automatically keep the stroke count. Of course including GPS tag at each location hit. Then be able to review the game later. Similar to Ski Tracks app.
Having to fuss with an app, before/after each stroke has a tendency of aggravating fellow golf buddies.
Love the app! Can’t figure out how to use the tracking device. Enjoy seeing yardages. Another question, on my home course, the 18th hole yardage is off, by a lot. Any way to fix that?
Please email a blank scorecard of the course to support@golfshot.com and they can make sure yardage is correct!
I have an Apple 3 series watch. Will the shot tracking not work with it?
It is compatible on Apple Watch 3 and newer: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063182313-How-do-I-set-up-the-Auto-Shot-Tracking-feature-for-my-Apple-Watch-
Is this only for 7 or will it work with watch 6 and the software update from Apple?

Wish there was a tap to add stroke button on watch to add a shot instead of counting and adding it at the end of the hole. I do t tend to get my phone out to move holes just swipe on the watch.
I will pass this on to our development team, thank you!
I would love to have multiplayer scoring on the Apple Watch
Does the gps for the watch app track distance from where my watch is or where my phone is? Meaning if my phone is in my golf cart is it giving me the distance from the cart or where im standing at?
If you chose to turn on using the Apple Watch onboard GPS, found under the GPS, Scoring, Caddie section of settings > turn on Use Watch GPS, the distances will be measured from your Apple Watch. With this setting turned off, the watch will display distances from your phone’s GPS.
I would like to be able to start a round on the AW.
At least for the last plaid Course.
Any chance to have this option?
Since we do not have a standalone version of our app, you would still need to start and stop your round on your phone.
Can you track swing speed?
Currently, this is not one of our features.
How do I get my handicap score card?
You can calculate your handicap in Golfshot if you have purchased a GHIN number, this only applies to those in the US. If you are outside of the US, you can get an unofficial Handicap using our Average to Par: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017867833-How-do-I-set-up-my-Golfshot-Average-to-Par-
Waiting on my 7 to come in. My old Bushnell had an unfortunate accident and I am going on 8 years using Golfshot. Love the app and look forward to using the Apple Watch. My question is, when set in gps mode to track distance to green (I assume it has front, middle & back) does the Apple Watch/Golfshot track it with the slope? Longer uphill, shorter downhill etc..? Also, does it track relative wind conditions?
Hello! Right now, no we do not measure wind speed or weather. The slope and rating has been implemented per course so that is taken into account.
Any plans to make Golfshot available to use with the Garmin series of watches? They had far better battery life and are more durable than Apple series watches.
At the moment we are compatible with the watchOS (iOS), Wear OS and Tizen software!
Good morning I purchased Apple Watch 7 and the Golsshot Pro App, did all the connection procedures between phone and watch.
I start a golf match and on the automatic shot tracking on the watch I get the message “Watch Orientation not supported” and it doesn’t work. What should I do?
Please email support@golfshot.com and they can walk you through a step by step set up!
Is there any benefit to getting the apple watch 7 with cellular vs just GPS? or is it actually worse because the cellular model has worse battery life.
Thanks
We don’t see much of a difference, it is really personal preference!
What about Left Handers and using on the right wrist?
That would be your trailing wrist, we currently do not support this function of wearing it on that trailing arm.
I’m using pro with watch 7. How do I record, shot, long, right, left, sand, water details for each shot. I want my stats to be meaningful. Thank you.
You can track your shot distance with auto shot tracking, as far as sand, water details you can add to your notes but we do not have that in our shot tracking at the moment.
Any plans to support Huawei watch 3 Pro?
We do support Huawei, but it may not be that specific watch. Please email support@golfshot.com for more specifics on this!
