Don’t get me wrong, using just the grips or sensors on their own are still fantastic, but the Apple Watch and Link truly take it to the next level. Pairing it was as easy as it gets. I literally opened up the app that already had my clubs paired, hit “Pair Arccos Link” and within 15 seconds we were good to go. Give the gift of membership to the golfer in your life. The award-winning Arccos app requires an annual membership. Now you can gift a current Arccos member their membership. It’s the smartest gift in golf.

Another improvement with the Link Gen2 is the addition of GORE protective vents. That’s basically a tradename for a bit of environmental proofing intended to keep the stuff you encounter on the golf course (dirt, moisture, that sort of thing) from working its way into the second-generation Link and corroding the electronics. I forgot to charge my device as soon as I got it, so I plugged it into the USB port in my car on the way out to the course – so it only had about 20 minutes to charge, which Iwasn’t sure would be enough to get me through the round. Amidst a few delays, golfers have been waiting a long time for Arccos Link, and I’m very happy to report that it has been well worth the wait. If you have that, then you hardly have anything to worry about with your stats and everything is super seamless. That said for something that seems so simple there was a ton of money and time poured into making the Link a reality. The technical details to make this happen are far beyond what you expect – so with over two years of development, I can’t say I’m surprised by the price.

Arccos Caddie Link – Burning Questions

On the flip side, their Apple Watch app works like a charm – at least for me. It rarely misses a shot, even if the watch is covered by my coat. And, since I already had the Apple Watch, there i no additional cost. (I wish I knew that before buying the Link.) I can’t use it when when I’m wearing a coat. I’m guessing the combination of the Link being covered by my coat and the noise my coat makes when I’m swinging results in too many missed shots. I’ve read similar comments from other users, so I don’t think my situation is unique.

We offer 4 types of single sensors that can be used as either replacement sensors or as additional sensors for clubs you have added to your bag: Yes, as all your shots are now recorded by Arccos Link you will be able to play music on your smart phone or via a Bluetooth speaker.

Set Up & Ease of Use

Arccos Link is compatible with iPhone running iOS14.1 and newer, and Android devices, (Bluetooth, gyroscope & accelerometer required) running Pie 9.0 and newer. Fortunately, it was. On the 17th hole I started getting a little beep every couple of minutes that I assume was it telling me that the battery was getting close to dead. But I made it through the round with no issues. However through all of this progress, and creating what I still think is the very best (and most useful) golf gadget on the market, there was one complaint I still heard over and over and over again: I know it’s nuanced and every golfer will have their own value assigned to those things, but wondering where you’re standing these days on it. There is one other HUGE benefit to Arccos Link that I haven’t mentioned yet: the ability to use Arccos anda bluetooth speaker.
