GranBoard 132 Review

Mon avis sur la GranBoard 132

The GranBoard 132 is the target that made me understand why electronic dartboards have a real place in "serious" play. It uses the standard competition board diameter (13.2 inches / 33.5 cm): this is dimensional conformity, not a federation homologation (bodies like the PDC, WDF or BDO only cover steel-tip). In practice, there's no surprise if you're switching from a traditional board: aiming distances stay the same. Add 43 available games and an online world ranking, and you get a board that holds up to competitive use, not just a party toy.

What I particularly like is the built-in LED ring: beyond the visual effect, it helps you follow the game at a glance, especially in the evening. This is clearly not the brand's entry-level board, it targets players who want to improve and measure themselves against others, locally or across the world.

Mon test de la GranBoard 132 sur le pas de tir

On the oche, the standard diameter really changes things compared to more compact boards: segments sit exactly where you expect them, with no need to readjust your reference points. The 20 two-hole segments give good landing tolerance, with consistent feel from one tip to the next.

On variety, the 43 games cover a lot of ground: from classic 301/501 to Cricket, plus more fun formats to mix up your sessions. Playing online against other GranBoard users adds something a traditional board simply can't offer: climbing the world ranking is genuinely motivating and pushes you to train more regularly.

Durabilité de la GranBoard 132

With a score of 8/10, the GranBoard 132 holds up well over time. The structure handles repeated sessions properly, and the two-hole format limits the wear caused by misaligned tips that you can see on some competing models.

As with any electronic board, longevity also depends on maintaining the electronics (sensors, connections), not just the playing surface. Nothing alarming here, but this is a connected board, so it deserves a bit more attention than a traditional bristle board.

Setup and connectivity

Setup is straightforward: standard wall mounting, power via the included AC adapter, then Bluetooth 4.0 pairing with the GranBoard app on your smartphone or tablet (both Android and iOS supported). Once connected, the app handles scoring, game modes, and access to the online ranking.

The Bluetooth 4.0 connection is reliable day to day, and having the app available on both major mobile OSes avoids compatibility headaches. Expect a few minutes for the first setup, just enough time to create an account and get familiar with the menus.

Prix et rapport qualité/prix

The GranBoard 132 generally sits between €250 and €330 depending on the configuration: expect around €250 for the board alone (roughly €269.95 at McDart) and up to €329.95 with the stand. At this price point, you get a board with the standard competition diameter, a full app with 43 games, worldwide online play, and built-in LEDs: a coherent package for anyone who wants an electronic board that can support real progression.

Value for money is good if you plan to regularly use the connected features. If you're only looking for a board for local, app-free play, this budget may feel high compared to more basic electronic boards.

Verdict : faut-il acheter la GranBoard 132 ?

Yes, if you want an electronic board with the standard competition diameter, capable of supporting serious progression, with online play and a genuine catalogue of game modes. The 8.5/10 rating reflects a solid overall package: games (9/10) and connectivity (9/10) are the standout points that justify the purchase.

If the app and Bluetooth don't interest you, or if you're mainly looking for a cheap board for occasional use, other models in the GranBoard range may suit you better. But for a player who wants the standard competition diameter and online competition, the 132 is an excellent choice.
