Golf Rangefinder vs GPS Watch: Which Is Better for Golfers?
Golf Rangefinder vs GPS Watch: Which Is Better for Golfers? Discover why laser rangefinders like the Hanmatek GR1200 outperform GPS watches in precision (±1 yard accuracy to any target, including flags and hazards) and versatility (works on any course, no satellite needed), per MyGolfSpy tests showing lasers lock pins directly while GPS estimates front/middle/back (3-5 yard variance). GPS watches win on hands-free convenience but lag in speed and hilly terrain without slope tech. The GR1200 shines with 1200-yard range, 6.5x magnification, flag-lock vibration, toggleable slope compensation (tournament-legal), and rechargeable battery—at just $95. Ideal for serious golfers shaving strokes.
