Suunto G6 Golf Watch

We've blogged about the sports-friendly computerized watches from Suunto before. Now they have a PGA golfer, Davis Love III as a celebrity spokesperson for their Suunto G6 watch which is aimed at golfers. Love tested a pre-release unit in January and found that its functions, which monitor tempo, rhythm, backswing length and more, helped him improve his swing. The G6 has sensors called accelerometers that record over 200 measurements each second. The little computer then breaks the swing down into it's individual components. The watch also can help keep score during games and record game statistics. It sells for $399. Something tells me a lot of golfing dads will be getting these for Father's Day this year.
