NAVO W1 · Watch guide

Read GPS distances

Know which part of the green each distance refers to.

Start hereDuring a round, check that the hole number at the top right matches the hole you are playing.

BackMiddleFront
Read the three large numbers on the left.

Back is the far edge of the green; Middle is the center; Front is the near edge.

“12 / PAR 4” identifies the current hole and its par. Distances use your selected yards or meters.

Choose the distance for your shot

Front helps you judge the distance needed to reach the green. Middle gives a center-of-green reference. Back helps you judge the distance to the far edge.

The middle distance is to the center of the green. For a flag elsewhere on the green, swipe left to open Green View and move the pin.

Check your units and Slope setting

Distances use the yards or meters selected in watch settings. With Slope Mode on, distances account for elevation. Turn Slope off to compare standard GPS distances from the same position to the same target.

If a distance still seems wrong, follow the distance checks.
