Arccos - the pioneer of big data and Artificial Intelligence for golf - has today unveiled a new Arccos for Apple Watch app update highlighted by UX enhancements that provides golfers with the ability to start an Arccos Caddie round on the world\u2019s #1 selling smart watch without ever touching their iPhone.<\/p>\n

The preferred shot-tracking hardware for almost 20% of Arccos members, Apple Watch also allows Arccos Caddie\u00a0 members to view A.I. Rangefinder distances, receive personalized club recommendations, add penalty strokes, see shot history and holes scores, and make any necessary edits.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a product standpoint, we have completely re-developed the Arccos Caddie app for Apple Watch architecture from the ground up,\u201d said Dave LeDonne, Arccos\u2019 Vice President of Product. \u201cWith well over half a million rounds played by Arccos members on Apple Watch last year alone, this redesign makes the experience dramatically better,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Additional app functionality includes the ability for players to mark the hole locations on the green with a simple click of a button on the watch device when standing directly next to the pin. This provides more accurate short game and putting insights along with highlighting areas for player improvement via the powerful Strokes Gained analytics insights.<\/p>\n

To access the new experience \u2013 which is optimized for Apple Watch Series 5 and newer \u2013 members simply open the Arccos Caddie app for Apple Watch, confirm the course and tees being played and press start round. The app then syncs with the smart sensors in the grip of each club to pinpoint exactly when and where a shot has been played.<\/p>\n
