(Cincinnati, OH) – August 16, 2016 – Precision Pro Golf’s new GPS GOLF BAND is the future of distance. It is the thinnest, lightest, most comfortable GPS wearable available and has caught the attention of independent reviewers from three of the largest golf platforms around, Golf Digest Stix, GolfWRX.com and Hacker’s Paradise, just to mention a few.
On August 3rd, Golf Digest Stix featured the GPS Golf Band, Mike Stachura of Golf Digest wrote: “Not all golfers want to wear a GPS watch to play golf, especially if they don’t wear a watch in the first place. One alternative available in the GPS watch landscape is the Precision Pro GPS Band. Weighing just 1.2 ounces or well less than half of traditional golf GPS watches, the less bulky Precision Pro GPS Band brings GPS course information for some 35,000 preloaded courses.”

Evan Bartley of GolfWRX.com had this to say in his review of Precision Pro’s GPS Golf Band, “I recently had the opportunity to test the Precision Pro GPS Golf Band, although I normally don’t use GPS-style rangefinders on the course. I usually prefer to use a laser rangefinder, because it gives precise distances to targets I choose rather than specific targets already chosen for me. However, the features on this band proved very useful and provided distances that were right on par with a laser rangefinder. The band is also very compact and light enough (about 1 oz.) so that it didn’t interfere with my swing.”
James Miles of Hacker’s Paradise was impressed with the speed of the setup and the ease of use of the GPS Band and wrote, “The general setup is simple and streamlined thanks to the easy-to-navigate menu and 3-button system, this includes all the standard time/date options as well as an auto-on timer function. When at the course, after selecting play golf from the menu the band consistently synced up impressively fast during the review, much faster than the other two watch units it was compared against.”
The featherweight and glove friendly design ensures not to interfere with your swing. The streamlined interface with Auto Hole Recognition and out of the box usability ensures ease of use for any golfer.
