How to choose under £200
A watch or a handheld?
Watches suit golfers who walk and like everything on the wrist. Handhelds suit golfers who dislike wearing a watch or already own a smartwatch.
GPS or laser?
Under £200, GPS gives the better experience. A good laser starts at about £220 (the Shot Scope PRO L5).
Launch monitor?
At this price, expect practice numbers rather than a full simulator. See cheap launch monitors for the step up.
Before ordering, confirm the exact model, what is in the box, phone requirements, delivery date and returns period. More budgets: the full golf gift guide.
Questions buyers ask
What is the best golf gadget under £200?
The Bushnell iON Elite watch (90/100, about £139) or the Bushnell Phantom 3 handheld (87/100, about £130). Golfers who love practice will enjoy the Shot Scope LM1 (about £199).
Can you get a launch monitor under £200?
Yes. The Shot Scope LM1 (about £199) and GolfBuddy Shot Mate (about £149) give core practice numbers. They are practice tools rather than full simulators.
Is a cheap rangefinder worth it?
A cheap laser without a good lock-on can frustrate. Under £200 we would choose GPS instead, or stretch to about £220 for the Shot Scope PRO L5 if a laser is essential.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order by early December, check the retailer’s last delivery date and ask for a gift receipt so they can swap models.
