“I upgraded my V3 to the X5 when it came out. Fabulous watch looks and feels great on your wrist. I had a few teething problems for the first 3 or 4 rounds with it as the watch would reset after 4 holes. I expected a few issues at the start as it's all new. I emailed Shotscope and an upgraded firmware was uploaded and it's been fine ever since. Really good GPS, very accurate yardages, love the layup yardage also. It will occasionally fail to pick up a shot but not very often and that is usually when I have a jacket on. The feedback you get from the stats it records are fantastic. Really help to highlight where you need to improve. Would recommend ‍♂️”

“To start with, there were a number of issues with the watch as it was such a new product. Following the latest software update, the watch is now much easier to use. The 3 second hold to unlock the watch is great.”

“The X5 is good as long as it isn't raining. When it's raining it seems to loose the plot, and starts randomly doing actions, like jumping to the next hole, filling in scores for holes you haven't yet played. It also stops taking input so you cannot enter anything. I've had to resort to my V3 if there's a chance of rain. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known it would have this issue. Ignore the ratings below as it wouldn't let me leave what I wanted. Value for money= ok Easy to use= good Performance= ok”

“I have been a ShotScope user for a few years and have been most impressed by the quality of their service. Based in Edinburgh, any time you need to get in touch they reply promptly and helpfully. You connect with a real person and it works SO much better. The X5 is still progressing I sense, but absolutely does all that I need. The stats afterwards are excellent and continuously improving. The user experience with the X5 isn't totally intuitive, but they seem to be improving as they go - probably early stages of development still. Not having a monthly fee is a big plus to me as the end user, but maybe is a challenge to the company long-term (?) - I hope not, as these guys deserve to succeed. Love this product.”

“I know other users have had issues with their new X5 but I’m happy to say I have had no technical issues since I brought it, after recent firmware updates it’s been a pleasure to use, although I must admit that when playing in the rain the touch screen does not work, I have overcome this by putting a screen protector on and so far so good. The side dial os still too sensitive as I wear it on my left wrist and it presses against my glove and sometimes it’s thinks I’m trying to perform a hard reset, if you can stop this then it’ll be 5*’s”

“I found the Shot Scope system really informative since I bought my first Shot Scope back in July 2020. I have used their GPS and Tracking products since then and have always been really impressed until the X5. In my opinion they released the X5 too early, resulting in numerous firmware updates to fix the touch screen, the bezel, relocate the widgets on the screen etc. etc. The watch itself is now a fabulous product except for one glaring issue. When it rains, the touchscreen doesn't work. It hops from screen to screen changing from hole to hole. It interacts with the sleeve of your jacket or jumper and moves from menu to menu which is so frustrating when trying to record shots and keep score. If it was possible, to deactivate the touchscreen while it rained and just use the bexel instead, then this would be great, preventing the rain and garment sleeves interfering with what is such a "quality" product. Also, moving on to new products such as the G5 and Connex before the last one's issues were resolved seems like a greedy move, something for which Shot Scope was not known previously.”
