Yes, Golf Pad offers Standalone mode. It is supported on GPS-equipped Wear OS watches.



How do I get started? 


1. Update Golf Pad app on both your phone and watch to the latest version available in Google Play. 


2. Ensure you have Golf Pad Premium. Smartwatch sync is a part of Golf Pad Premium upgrade. If you don't have Premium yet, please upgrade to use this featureClick here to learn about all Premium features


3. Make sure location is enabled in watch settings. 


4. Enable the watch's GPS: in the phone app > Golf Pad Preferences > Smartwatch sync, enable "Use watch's GPS location", the watch will use its own GPS.


5. Start a round on the phone. The app will be automatically started on the smartwatch.


6. Finish your round: when you're done, tap Finish round on the phone and the round will be automatically finished on the watch.
