“Bought this when it came out, as an addition to the 2 V3s I already own. Very high quality look. The initial firmware required an impossible (for me) complete turn of the crown to unlock the screen so I made the default screen unlocked. Unfortunately, this resulted in the screen responding to all sorts of random inputs, many of which I didn't think I initiated. This caused numerous annoyances. The recent firmware update allows me to have the screen unlocked and use a long press to unlock it, which is much more user friendly. The active score keeping function is nifty.”

“I previously had the V3 and upgraded. Initially the X5 had some issues but were quickly remedied with firmware update. If I forget to take the watch to golf I usually have a bad round as the front and back of tee distances are fantastic and accurate. Excellent watch, I cannot fault.”

“I love what the watch is capable of performing however there are too many times when the clubs tag is not picked up by the watch which leads to having to guess as to where the shot should be placed which creates inaccuracy in club distances. Another issue is that as soon as you step on the green the watch goes right to number of putts prior to putting. This makes it impossible for me to determine if my putter has been recognized.”

“The X5 has some great features and I really like being able to track my club distances, but I’ve been disappointed in the reliability. I’m on my 3rd watch as the first two stopped working after a couple of months. Shotscope has been great at replacing them.”

“Shot tracking is flaky at best. When wet, just a little damp, it goes haywire. No amount of prodding on the watch face corrects it. The GPS gets it wrong if 2 holes cross over, or are parallel to one another, with the watch switching holes. The crown bezel is way too hypersensitive and often alters the display from what I want, just by the act of swinging the club. The editing software is clunky, not intuitive and awkward to use. This watch is really not great value for money.”

“Wearing a watch on the lead wrist makes automatic shot detection flawless - that's the only reason to prefer this over the H4, which you have to manually bring the sensor in range (read touch) of the unit. The other good thing is that the standard view distance to the front, middle, back is clear and simple. Everything else requires some interaction and the UI just gets in the way, so I don't bother anymore. Also, when scoring, the watch often moves on to the next hole, when I'm still putting, which is irksome, but I've learned to ignore it, record my score on paper and figure it all out back home.”

“When this product is working well it would be 5 stars however my X5 is currently missing approx 12 shots a round, at one point it didn’t miss any ( May be due to the recent firmware update?)”
