Having taken up golf again after a 20 year gap, I have watched the benefits of my friends using it, I'm still in the process of using it to its capabilities. So far after 2 rounds it has surprised me that I am actually performing pretty well using the stats and showed me that my putting is holding me back. It has definitely shown that its a helpful tool.

A little disappointed in this new version as I expected more from it. Despite the great features it does possess it's the simple things that disappoint. I have that two of the greens on my course are ten yards out of position and despite swinging hard to register the club I often find that while keeping score, the score it tries to register can be anything up to three shots out. I will persist to see if things improve but at this moment I have to admit that I am disappointed

So from the outset, I love this watch, no question. However I’m still getting used to it and the app to get the best out of it. Probably three reasons why 4* - It takes so long to find the satellite you have to remember almost when you arrive at the course to prepare it. Secondly, I find the app and desktop a little fiddly especially as there are usually issues with recording every shot, that I hope will come. Finally, I still find myself wearing my Garmin, mainly because of my virtual caddy and the display is much better.

I have used my V6 for about 8 rounds by now and love it over Arcos, which I tried and sent back as it performed miserably and was not going to pay for a subscription! I think the first thing is that the brightness of the v5 could be improved upon as I would never wear this watch during the day or after playing golf. It needs to be brighter, but in the sunlight, it works well while playing golf. Every round I am missing some shots and have to go in and make corrections. I carry a score card with me and record my clubs used on each hole so that I can straighten things out on my computer. I am not certain if this is due to my mistakes and not checking if each club used is on the watch before I hit or not, so I am not blaming the watch, just yet. I am improving on my use of the device, but my biggest problem is if I end up taking a penalty stroke, I do not try to add this during the round, but wait until after and for some reason, then I have a scorecard issue on the watch. If I look down to see where I stand to par, I see an !, which means the score on the watch is screwed up somehow and I have to manually go back and try to correct things. That is becoming a very bad and consistent issue. (I know, don't lose or hit a ball in an unplayable lie). What I do like is the hazzard distance and the green view on the watch. I bought this to track my stats and after I do much editing, I am getting what I wanted (data), but I am having to work for it. Once again, this could be me and my getting use to using the instrument, but on the other hand, it could be the watch and I will reserve my overall opinion, until later. I actually thought of buyine a demo X5 for a brighter view of the watch and the ability to touch over buttons. However, that seems like duplication and I need to perfect what I have before moving on.

Having used a handheld GPS for several years, I was surprised at how much better the V5 was. It has improved my game with its accurate information and helps with my visualisation of the shots needed on any hole. A game improver for sure as well as being a decent looking watch.
