Considerations Before Purchase While the launch monitor function is strong, it does not deliver full spin-rate or launch-angle analytics like high-end simulators. It is a handheld device (not wearable or wrist-based). If you prefer smart-watch integration or continuous wearable metrics, you might complement it with a golf GPS watch. For tournament play, you’ll want to disable features like PlaysLike distance if required by local rules.
