Our view
The Ringer occupies an interesting niche — too small to be a traditional handheld, not worn on the wrist. The music remote integration with Player+ makes it a natural companion to that speaker. Shot tracking at £129 is good value. The £49/year subscription after the free trial is the main consideration — factor that into the total cost of ownership.
Pros
- Most compact GPS display available — slips in a pocket
- Shot tracking included at £129
- Music remote integration with Player+ is a clever ecosystem feature
- 10+ hours battery covers multiple rounds
- Magnetic mount works on cart or bag
- 1-year Analytics package free — better than PlayerGo's 6 months
Cons
- No audio — GPS display only, requires phone or Player+ for sound
- Advanced Analytics costs £49/year after trial
- App-dependent for course data
- No slope or wind adjustment
- Less proven than dedicated GPS watch brands
