The LD2 by GolfBuddy is a GPS golf watch designed for women, because all women have evolved from magpies (true story). We are all instinctively drawn to shiny objects so the LD2 wouldn’t be a “ladies” watch without some Swarovski crystals stuck on it. Needless to say I am not a fan of the pointless sparkle on a chunky digital watch, but the added bling may attract some people. More importantly is how the LD2 performs as a technical accessory. It is small, lightweight (1oz with battery) and comfortable to wear. It will provide you with distances to front, centre and the back of the green, distances to hazards, dual shot distance measurement and automatic course recognition. The watch is made from a genuine leather strap with alligator grain, premium mineral crystal lens and stainless-steel crown button and bezel.

It is water resistant and runs off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides you with 6 hours in GPS modes or a whopping 9-weeks in standard watch mode. The main screen in golf mode will display the back, centre (this is the middle number), and front of the green. It will also show the hole number, left or right green (if applicable) and the par information. The distances to hazards displayed on the LD2, the end of the hazard (top number) and the start of the hazard (bottom number), are displayed on one screen with hazard icons with up to 11 targets and hazards available per hole. The Dual Shot Distance feature lets you track 2 shots separately, for example drive and approach, or 2 shots simultaneously, for example your drive and your golfing partners drive. The End of Round Summary will show you the time it took to complete the round and the total distance you travelled during play. The watch is compact and discrete to wear, the display looked very dated, and it is a bit of a hassle working around the menus, while the user manual makes things even more confusing. However, we found that the GPS is accurate and its features are useful. RRP £139.99
