Samsung Electronics has released a couple of smartwatches and the most popular among them is probably the Gear S series. The Samsung Gear S3 is known for its rugged nature and most recently, it became the first smartwatch to come with a customized display for Portuguese Air Force. We have previously seen the NBA Edition of this smartwatch and today, Samsung unveiled the Golf Edition of this smartwatch.
Developed by Samsung Electronics in collaboration with Golfzon Co. (local developer of indoor golf simulators), this version is optimized for golfers and it sports with the Caddie app which gives information on 60,000 golf courses worldwide. Using this app, users can get golf details and it can also provide the undulations of the golf course including other geographical features.
