Innovation in golf technology rarely happens by chance. It grows from persistence, curiosity, and a belief that better tools help players make better decisions. That belief shaped the Mileseey GenePro G1 long before it received any recognition. And in 2025, the GenePro G1 was recognized with a Special Mention in the Sports & Fitness category of TIME’s Best Inventions, placing it among a select group of products acknowledged for advancing their industries in meaningful and thoughtful ways.
The GenePro G1 didn’t earn this honor simply because it introduced something new. It earned it because it changes how golfers understand distance, strategy, and confidence on the course. TIME saw that difference—and here’s why their recognition feels genuinely deserved.
Why TIME Recognized the Mileseey GenePro G1
TIME’s Best Inventions list rewards products that bring originality, usefulness, ambition, and real-world impact. The Mileseey GenePro G1 stood out because it challenges long-standing expectations of what a golf rangefinder can be. Instead of choosing between laser precision or GPS mapping, golfers finally get both—merged into a single, intelligent system that adapts to real course conditions.
Originality Through a Hybrid Touchscreen + GPS Design
For years, golfers relied on two separate categories: traditional laser rangefinders for flag accuracy, and GPS devices for course context. The GenePro G1 redefines that divide. With a responsive touchscreen, precise laser measurement, and fully independent GPS course mapping, this touchscreen & GPS rangefinder creates a unified, modern way to read the entire hole.
TIME recognized that the GenePro G1 is not just “new,” but genuinely original in how it reshapes the experience of rangefinding.
Effectiveness Rooted in Real Course Problems
TIME values inventions that solve real-world frustrations, and golf is full of them. Distance isn’t just a number—it’s elevation, temperature, humidity, light conditions, pressure, and angles. The Mileseey GenePro G1 interprets those environmental details with SmartSlope™ elevation logic, Ball-to-Pin™ flag detection, SmartFiltering™ background separation, and multi-signal laser processing that keeps performance fast and accurate.
These elements weren’t built for spec sheets; they were built for real rounds with real stakes.
Ambition to Redefine Precision in Modern Golf
Rather than chasing “bigger numbers,” the GenePro G1 was built around the belief that precision should help golfers think better—not just see better. That ambition guided its hybrid intelligence, interface design, and course logic. TIME recognized this direction as forward-looking and genuinely useful for the sport’s evolution.
Impact That Reaches Beyond Elite Golfers
One reason the GenePro G1 earned TIME’s attention is how accessible it makes smart distance intelligence. You don’t need to be a tour-level player to use it. Everyday golfers can unlock the same clarity, context, and confidence that professionals rely on. TIME considered that broad impact meaningful—and and we agree.
What Makes the Mileseey GenePro G1 Award-Worthy
TIME’s criteria explain why the GenePro G1 was selected, but the deeper reason it earned their respect lies in how it was built. Every detail reflects years of careful thinking, real-course testing, and a Mileseey product philosophy grounded in purpose rather than shortcuts.
A Touchscreen Shaped by Real Golf Use
The touchscreen wasn’t designed in isolation. It was shaped under bright sunlight, with gloved hands, hurried shots, early-morning dew, and wind that makes fingers stiff. Every gesture, vibration, and interface pattern came from observing golfers in real rounds. The result feels natural because it respects how golfers actually play.
Dual Intelligence With a Purpose
The GenePro G1 combines laser precision with GPS awareness because the two belong together. Laser provides precise flag distance. GPS delivers full-hole strategy. Mileseey’s algorithms connect the two into a complete, actionable picture. This unified intelligence is one of the core reasons the G1 feels award-worthy.
Engineering Depth Refined Over Years
Much of the GenePro G1’s reliability lives beneath the surface. It performs consistently in fog, haze, and rain. It maintains measurement logic across different terrains. It separates targets cleanly when backgrounds get busy. These aren’t flashy features—they’re engineering disciplines, and they’re the reason this Mileseey golf rangefinder performs when it matters most.
How the GenePro G1 Went From Kickstarter to Earning a Spot in TIME’s Best Inventions
Before TIME, before recognition, and before any awards, the GenePro G1 was simply an idea the Mileseey Golf team believed deeply in. Earlier this year, when the G1 launched on Kickstarter, the goal wasn’t attention—it was a clear belief that golf should feel clearer, not more complicated.
Through countless prototypes and real on-course testing, the GenePro G1 found its identity. The touchscreen came from the need for quicker interaction under pressure. The hybrid system came from realizing golfers don’t just need precision—they need context. Every part of this Mileseey rangefinder grew from real rounds, real players, and real moments where information needed to feel effortless.
That’s why earning a Special Mention in TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 means so much. It isn’t just recognition of a device—it’s recognition of a journey shaped by community support on Kickstarter and by thoughtful engineering. Mileseey Golf will continue to build rangefinders with the same spirit: listen closely, improve constantly, and bring more clarity to every golfer who trusts our tools.
