It has been a blockbuster week in Scotland as The Open – golf’s oldest tournament – returned to St. Andrews for the 150th year. Cameron Smith chased down Rory Mcllroy to take home the Claret Jug for the very first time – and a handsome cash prize - in what turned out to be an exhilarating final round on one of golf’s holiest grounds.

Just as ‘Wimbledon fever’ swept through the nation a fortnight ago, The Open has whetted the appetites of golfers – seasoned and amateur alike – up and down the country. If you’re one of those biting at the bit to book in your next tee time, then this guide to our top three golf watches on the market might just pique your interest.

With a good set of clubs, a couple sleeves of balls, a handful of tees, and a specialist-golf timepiece on your wrist, you’ll be ready for anything the course throws at you.

TAG Heuer Connected Watch Calibre E4 – Golf Edition

Sleek in performance, sleek in design; TAG Heuer takes inspiration from the rich history of the 15th century sport and celebrates it across the entire piece. From the dimpled-golf ball effect of the strap and watch face, to the trademark green - it would be a challenge to find a smartwatch more suited for the golf-fanatics.

Of course, the appeal stretches past the aesthetics, and the TAG Heuer Connected Golf is packed full of special design features to ensure you can be your very best on the course. These include ball marking, swing detection, shot tracking and 3D maps technology. And, at a price point of £2,200.00, TAG Heuer have ensured you’re getting the very best for your money.
