Yes, if you have a GPS-equipped Apple Watch, you can use it without an iPhone! Just start the round on the phone, wait until the phone and the watch connect, and put the iPhone away. With the watch app you'll see rangefinder distances to the back, center and front of the green, hole par and handicap index. Learn more here: Apple Watch user guide


To start using your Apple Watch in standalone mode, follow the steps below:


1. Download the same latest version of the 15th Club on your phone and on the watch and make sure that the watch is connected in the app (you can check it by opening the menu in the upper right corner).



2. Select the course you're playing on, start the round on the phone and wait until the app starts the round on the watch.


3. Start playing!
