“I am coming from an H4, which is provides the same off course data but is not as seamless to use during a round as the watch. I picked up the V5 using a legacy promo that allowed me to purchase at launch for $180. When I bought it, I thought, "No way this is going to be very different from the H4." Boy was I wrong. This watch is much faster to start a round at the course, connect to my phone, and move around the screens during the round. It's easy to glance down and get yardages that are within +/- 1 yard from my rangefinder, to the point that I barely use the rangefinder anymore. The hole map is helpful when I am unfamiliar with the course, and distances to hazards are a nice feature too. I've played 10+ rounds so far and have missed less than 5 full swing shots. The only regular issue from a data collection perspective is missing duffed shots, which is more my problem for having two swings too close in proximity to each other. One comment about the Shot Scope support: I normally play a 9-hole course, where to play 18 you just go around twice. The V5 has had some quirks with how it manages manual scoring for this format and the Shot Scope team has been responsive to my inquiries and creating bugfix tickets or answering my questions. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking to streamline their on course play and also learn about their game through data.”

“I recently replaced my V3 GPS watch with the new V5. I have been using the V3 for quite a few years. Never had a problem except for the charging cable breaking. The new V5 fixed that. No more clip. Now it's a plugin cable. Most of the features are the same, and they added some features that are very useful. Layup to doglegs is something I use a lot. The battery life is better. The V3 would be almost dead after 18 holes. When I get home and put the watch on the charger now, it's at 50% of battery charge. Overall it's a very good upgrade to my old V3.”

“Front middle and back distances alone make club selection depending on the weather and ground conditions so much easier. Layup distances makes it easier to aim for your favourite pitch into the green. Finally, the watch has vastly improved my course management. On completion the data collected is very helpful. I love the watch and know it will improve my game.”

“I am happy with my new V5. I have used it for 4 rounds now, and am still getting used to it and it's many functions. Unfortunately, the standard tee colors/placements in the watch seem to be the back tees. I have yet to see any forward tees available. I suspect this will effect the calculations of distances, etc., but I'm not certain about that aspect.”

“Overall easy set up. Once I got comfortable on how to make some adjustments to my round on the computer I felt a lot better about the product. Still collecting some data from rounds to see the real benefit of the product. Some of the courses I have played only show one tee box as an option. One of the other issues I have had is it takes a while to locate the course when clicking on the GPS + tracking mode. Overall, a solid product and no subscription fees for data is a plus.”
