Samsung has launched a Golf Edition in its smartwatch lineup in the past. However, this will be the first time, the South Korean tech company’s Golf Edition smartwatch will come running on the WearOS platform. This is the same version of Google’s Android OS that powers up the Galaxy Watch 4. Furthermore, the latest Golf Edition smartwatch is capable of helping golf lovers improve their game.
This is a limited version of the Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch that has the Smart Caddie app pre-loaded. The app is quite useful for golf players since it measures and shows their performance metrics.

As if that weren’t enough, it shows key details such as their automatic hole information recognition, satellite maps, aerial photos, and their actual measurements.
