Hey all! So I am a golfer and currently have the Apple Watch SE for golf rounds. I wear the AWU for everyday use. The AWU is just o heavy for me to golf with. I’m hoping the bigger screen and thin design of the Apple Watch 10 will be perfect for golf. So what are you guys wearing to golf??

For the past two years I've been wearing the AW8 with a Sport Loop band for golf. After this Friday I'll be wearing an AWU2 with a Trail Loop band. The difference in weight is only 22 grams, I doubt I'll even notice it when swinging.

Have you played golf with the AWU2, yet? Curious how it went, thinking it’s more the size than the weight.

With the SSAW7, I wear it with the crown to the left, otherwise I sometimes get crown presses on my follow through.

Yes, I've played 9 rounds with the AWU2. I don't notice the weight any more than I did the AW8, but I do have some occasional inadvertent crown presses, which is a minor annoyance. I've adjusted by folding the cuff of my golf glove under (that's what seems to hit it the most), and wearing the watch a little higher on my wrist. It has cut down on them, but it still happens once in a while. I'm going to try a watch case on it to see if it makes any difference by protecting the crown a little more.

One of my regular golf partners has been using an AWU1 for quite a while longer, he had the same issues and he now wears his with the crown to the left. I'd rather deal with the occasional crown presses than do that, I just don't like the crown to the left. Hopefully the case will solve the problem, but if not I'll just deal with it - it's not that big of a deal to me.
