“With all the functions, I just wish it was simpler to move around the watch. The V3 was much easier otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.”

“I'm just trying to get used to using this watch having had 2 other gps watches including a Shot Scope G3. This version is complicated and might yeild some valuable information but requires more involvement than actually playing golf. The jury is still out.”

“I just upgraded from a V3 to the new V5 and although I was extremely happy with the V3, the V5 is just plain over the top. The new features in the new V5 such as second generation tags that fit much better in the grips, color display with hole view, and the speed of acquiring satellites is amazing. This just can’t be beat.”

“Nothing wrong with my v3 just figured why not upgrade?! The v5 gps is way more accurate! Step counter during the round is a new very cool feature! Only used for 3 rounds so far but all is good! Changing the hole is proving to be my only issue! Manually change that is! Got it done but I almost took the watch off and chucked it in the lake! But 5 minutes of …ucking around and was able to change the hole! Changing holes manually on the v3 easy peasy! V5 not so much! Still it’s the best out there! Shot scope rulz!”

“I find it extremely helpful on the course. I feel much more comfortable in selecting a club for each of my shots. Relying on it has certainly helped my game.”

“I’ve played about 7 rounds with my V5. It finds the course and starts tracking. The biggest issue I have with the watch is that it misses almost a shot a hole on average. Almost always misses my wedges. I put the club in my left hand right by the watch and do a couple practice swings (new habit to help get the watch to read the sensor). I find that little wedges are not enough of a swing for it to track that shot. This means that after every round I have to go off memory to fix and add these shots. It’s time consuming and a tad frustrating. I thought it would work much better out of the box. My other issue is that it constantly goes to the putting pin collect option if I walk near the green, no option to go back to the tracking screen and let me track a chip around the edge/fringe. I’m hoping a firmware update is in the works for these issues. Once these are fixed, it would be worth getting.”

“A friend recommended Shot Scope and because my Garmin was no longer receiving technical support (to update my existing watch I would need to download the latest app, only to find out that my watch was not compatible to the new app!) I dived in and purchased the V5. It's a nice product but I have struggled getting my data to download to the app. I've watched a couple of YouTube clips which have proven very helpful, not enamoured with the Shot Scope manual. Perhaps you can develop a video covering setting up, data collection and downloading the information to the app. Overall I have a great gps watch but I want to get as much out of this excellent product.”
