The sports performance and technology industry is undoubtedly an exciting and rapidly growing field. Allied Market Research predicts
- the global sports watches market size was valued at $25.6 billion in 2021, and
- is projected to reach $54.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021 to 2031.
I can also see a growing demand for contextualized insights among athletes (including golfers). Usually, I am not crazy about the golf performance statistics of my game, just about the end results.
However, I could not resist Shot Scope’s V3 golf watch in 2020. Since then I am ready to learn more about my game.
It helped me to improve my game at my favorite golf clubs and learn how to play these golf courses. I don’t know which was less accurate, my watch or the golf course signage, but the difference was minimal.
What motivated me to use it more is the effortless usage.
I also learned that the classic golf rangefinders are not comfortable for me. Wearables – such as golf GPS watches – became quickly popular since they are very personal. I would not go into the importance and trend of personalization here.
That is why the innovations of the new Shot Scope X5 GPS watch are interesting and important to me.
