“Distance tracking of my shots is the primary reason I use this device. For the most part, I get what I want. But I do have questions about its accuracy at times. For example, the yardage noted on the watch to an upcoming green or hazard is not the same as the distance of my shot when I upload the round to the app to view my shot distances. The difference can be as much as 20%. That calls into question how much I can rely on the device to gauge a shot's distance, as well as how much I can rely on the device to calibrate club distances. Another issue I have is with the app. I find it very difficult and frustrating to add a shot (or penalty) at the desired location on the course map. It usually takes as many as 10 taps to get the screen to accept the addition. Sometimes, I just give up. That brings me to my 3rd issue. As much as I can appreciate the need for capturing shot distances in order to analyze club performances, there's not really a way to separate different usages of certain clubs. For example, I'll use my 9-iron for shots of around 125 yards, but I'll also use it for chip shots around the green. That makes the shot averages quite skewed so I don't get any usable insight into my performance characteristics in those situations. And one final comment is about the accuracy of strokes over or under par for a round. In my particular case the problem comes up when I go two consecutive rounds at my 9-hole course. Par is 32. When I only play 9 holes, the strokes over or under are correct. But when I combine two rounds to play 18, the over/under strokes don't match up with my score. Kind of odd, and it certainly skews the overall performance average.”

“Stylish watch, easy to read and distances are very accurate. Helps with club selection from performance data per club analysis. Swatch sometimes switches to other functions, is scorecard or last club distance, but this may be due to button catching the glove (?). Apart from that excellent watch.”

“I really enjoy my X5. It provides accurate distances and then tracks my shots. I do have to do some manual edit afterwards but that's also good for reviewing my round. Highly recommended.”

“The gps watch is pretty decent but the battery life is not as good as advertised. It'll run out of power on the back nine of my second round. The tags get about 95% of the full shots but virtually none of the short game unless you do the manual putt mode and click at each location. But you need to go to the green then walk to the ball for that to work. Stats are decent, but mainly use the app which is more limited. The approach proximity needs serious rework since layups on par 5s are averaged in. Glad I paid less for a display one. At full price it's not worth it.”

“Likes: It delivers what I want. It gives accurate distances. Battery life is OK. Looks good. Shot data is really interesting and I enjoy that. Support team has always been very responsive and helpful. Excellent value for money. Top marks for all that. Dislikes: getting through menus with the touchscreen is fiddly and more difficult than the buttons on the V3. Scorecard function still not ideal, but I am not so bothered by that as I prefer a card in any event. I have not suffered from the problems reported by many users and since I don’t rely on the scoring functions I am very happy with the watch I prefer it to Golfshot on my Apple Watch”

“I was a very satisfied user of the V3 and was really looking forward to the X5 GPS Watch. The watch looks stylish and is a pleasure to wear off the golf course. As with any new product, there were a few initial difficulties with this watch, but Shot Scope works very hard on the product and responds to issues in a very timely manner. I wouldn't want to be without the watch and the shot tracking is very stable. The dashboard is very good and it is fun to analyze the rounds played in more detail. Anyone who is concerned with stroke gains and statistics on their game will love Shot Scope.”
