Yes — your swing is captured on a Garmin, Apple Watch, or Wear OS (Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.) watch, and the Swing Pro phone app reviews and coaches it. No extra sensors, mats, or cameras required.

They work as a pair. The watch app records every swing on your wrist; Swing Pro on your phone is where you review scores, track trends, and get personalized coaching. Install both for the full picture.

Get Swing Pro from the App Store or Google Play, then install the watch app from your watch’s own store. Each store page shows availability for your region and device.

Garmin — 100+ Connect IQ devices (fēnix, Forerunner, Venu, epix, vívoactive and more) — plus Apple Watch and Wear OS 3+ watches like Samsung Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Xiaomi, and many other Android-based watches. The watch pages have the details for each brand.

No. Swing Pro is on both the App Store and Google Play. iPhone pairs with Apple Watch or Garmin; Android pairs with Wear OS (Samsung, Pixel, etc.) or Garmin. Use whichever watch you already wear.

Each session is saved as a regular activity. Sync your watch, open the activity in Garmin Connect, and look under the Charts tab for your shots and tempo. For the full story — per-swing scores, trends, and coaching — open the same session in Swing Pro.

No — and that’s by design: everything is measured from the watch on your wrist, so there’s nothing extra to buy, mount, or pair. Garmin doesn’t open CT10 sensors to third-party apps at all, so a connection there isn’t currently possible.

Finished sessions transfer the next time your watch and phone connect — bring them close and open Swing Pro, and the session usually lands within a minute. On Garmin, keep the watch paired in Garmin Connect Mobile; recent versions of the watch app even sync sessions in the background while your phone stays in your bag.

No, you can leave it in your bag. The watch records the whole session on its own, and everything syncs to Swing Pro the next time your watch and phone reconnect.

Both. It reads your swing motion from the watch — not the ball flight — so it works outdoors at the range, indoors into a net, or in a simulator bay. Anywhere you can take a full swing.

Yes — any full swing counts, driver through wedges, and you can switch clubs whenever you like. Short chips and putts aren’t the target: the app is built around your full swing motion.

Every swing is analyzed from high-rate wrist motion and graded the same way each time, so your tempo, smoothness, and Swing Score stay consistent and comparable session to session. It measures how you swing, not ball speed — so the trend you see is real.

Wear the watch on your lead wrist — the glove hand — that’s the one that matters most. Then give it 2–3 swings: detection calibrates to your motion, and it deliberately ignores movement that doesn’t look like a real swing (that’s what stops a sip from the bottle or a wave from counting). Very slow, very fast, or half swings can fall under that same bar — and if yours are on the softer side, raise the Sensitivity level in the watch app’s settings to lower it. If it keeps happening, update the watch app and your watch’s software — newer firmware often samples the sensors faster.

On Apple Watch and Wear OS the Crown and side button belong to the system, so the app can’t switch them off — but two small adjustments fix it. Rotate the watch so the buttons face your elbow instead of your hand, then flip the screen orientation so it still reads upright (Apple Watch: Settings → General → Watch Orientation; Samsung Galaxy Watch: Settings → General → Orientation — not every watch offers this yet). It also helps to wear the watch a little higher up your forearm, clear of your glove cuff. And don’t worry if a button does get pressed: it won’t end your session — recording continues, and your screen returns the moment you raise your wrist.

A session records like a regular workout, so the drain is comparable to tracking any other activity of the same length — a typical range visit barely dents a charged watch.

A single 0–100 grade that rolls tempo, smoothness, transition, and more into one number — so you can tell at a glance whether a swing was Tour-level or rough, and watch it climb as you practice.

Those need a launch monitor that can see the ball and the club — a watch can only feel how you swing. So instead of guessing ball flight, Swing Pro focuses on the motion itself: tempo, smoothness, transition, and the habits behind your misses. Improve the motion, and the ball flight follows.

Two honest reasons. Some metrics need specific hardware — wrist release and arc consistency rely on a gyroscope sampling at 50 Hz or faster, which a few older watches don’t have. And when the algorithm isn’t confident in a reading, it shows N/A rather than a made-up number.

Personalized feedback built from your own swings: the app analyzes 14 swing metrics, checks them against professional coaching rules, and turns the result into plain-language tips and drills aimed at your weak points. Pairing a Garmin watch also unlocks 30 days of Premium coaching to start you off.

Yes, for the deeper coaching features — but you don’t need one to use the app: recording sessions, reviewing your swings, and your core stats all work without a subscription. Availability, pricing, and terms are shown on each app’s store page — check there for the current details before you decide. Subscriptions are handled by the App Store and Google Play, so you can cancel anytime from your store settings.

Your swing data belongs to you. Sessions are recorded on the watch, reviewed in Swing Pro, and synced to our EU-hosted cloud so they follow you across devices and survive a new phone. We don’t sell data or run ads, and telemetry is anonymous. You can delete your account — and its cloud data — from inside the app. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
