Using NAVO when not playing

Change the watch face, use quick settings and main menu shortcuts, and access basic controls before or after your round.

NAVO main interface time screen
Main screen when not playing golf.

When NAVO W1 is not in golf mode, you can still access core tools quickly, including quick settings, history, and round start controls.

Learning these actions first makes on-course navigation faster when you move into golf play mode.
