Overview

The Callaway GPSy Watch is a golf performance device designed to provide precise distances on the course in a sporty and fashionable design. It aims to help golfers hit more greens and minimize penalty strokes by offering accurate distance information.

Function Description

The primary function of the Callaway GPSy Watch is to provide golfers with precise distances to various points on a golf course. This includes distances to the front, center, and back of the green, as well as distances to hazards and doglegs. The watch operates in two main modes: Play Mode and Hazard Mode.

In Play Mode, the watch displays key information for the current hole, including the hole number, par, and distances to the front, center, and back of the green. It also features a battery icon and the current time. This mode allows golfers to quickly assess their position relative to the green.

Hazard Mode provides detailed information about various hazards on the course. It displays distances to the front and back of doglegs, distances to layup or carry water hazards, and distances to layup or carry bunkers. The watch can display up to three hazards at a time, and if a hole has more, users can scroll through them. Hazards that are behind the golfer will not be displayed.

The watch also includes a Shot Distance feature, which, when enabled in settings, allows golfers to measure the distance of their shots. After starting the measurement, a "0" will appear, indicating it's ready to track. As the golfer travels to their ball, the distance will be calculated. Once they arrive, the displayed distance represents the length of their previous shot. This feature can be reset as needed.

A Scorecard function is available, which must also be enabled in the settings. This allows users to track their score for each hole, including total strokes, putts, and Greens in Regulation (GIR). Golfers can input these values using the watch's buttons.

The Auto-Hole Advance feature automatically advances the device to the next hole when traveling from the green to the next tee box. For manual advancement or to return to a previous hole, specific button presses are available.

The Odometer function, accessible from the Main Menu, allows the watch to calculate the distance a user travels. It starts calculating once activated and can be reset to zero.

The watch also functions as a Time Mode device, displaying either an analog or digital clock. It shows the current time and date, and the backlight can be toggled on or off.

Usage Features

Operating the Callaway GPSy Watch involves a combination of button presses and holds. The watch has five main buttons: [POWER], [UP], [OK], [DOWN], and Charging Ports (which are not used for interaction).

  • [POWER]: A quick PRESS turns the backlight on or off. A HOLD powers the watch on or off.
  • [UP]: Used to scroll up through menus or options. In Play Mode, it can be used to manually advance to the next hole. In Hazard View, it scrolls through hazards if more than three are present.
  • [OK]: A quick PRESS is used to toggle between screens (Hazard, Scorecard, Shot Distance in Play Mode), select options, or access specific menus (e.g., Settings Menu, Scorecard, Shot Distance). A HOLD accesses the Main Menu from various screens.
  • [DOWN]: Used to scroll down through menus or options. In Play Mode, it can be used to return to the previous hole. In Shot Distance mode, it starts measuring and resets the distance. In Scorecard mode, it scrolls to Putts and GIR.

Charging: To charge the watch, first power it off by holding the [POWER] button until the screen goes blank. Then, connect the Charger Pins on the charger to the Charging Ports on the watch by placing the watch in the Charging Dock. Plug the USB cord into a USB port. The watch will power on, and the Battery Icon bars will pulsate to indicate charging. Once charging is complete (typically 2-3 hours), the Battery Icon bars will stop pulsating.

Starting a Round of Golf: From the Time Screen, HOLD the [OK] button to access the Main Menu. PRESS [OK] to select "Play Golf." The device will then begin searching for a satellite signal.

Navigating Play Mode: Once a course is selected, the watch enters Play Mode. PRESS [OK] to toggle between Hazard, Scorecard, and Shot Distance Screens. To exit Play Mode at any time, HOLD [OK].

Accessing Hazard View: From Play Mode, PRESS [OK] to access the Hazard Screen. If no hazards are present, the screen will be blank. Use [UP/DOWN] to scroll through multiple hazards.

Using Shot Distance: If enabled in Settings, PRESS [OK] to access the Shot Distance screen. PRESS [DOWN] to start measuring. The distance will calculate as you move. PRESS [DOWN] again to reset. To exit, PRESS [OK].

Using Scorecard: If enabled in Settings, PRESS [OK] to access the Scorecard. Use [UP/DOWN] to adjust the total strokes for the hole. HOLD [DOWN] to scroll to Putts, then use [UP/DOWN] to adjust. HOLD [DOWN] again to scroll to GIR, then use [UP/DOWN] to select Y/N. To exit, PRESS [OK].
