“I like the fact that the watch comes with the tags. Sometimes it does miss the tags so you have to look at the watch to make sure it corresponds with the club you're about to or have just hit. It doesn't like the rain. The touchscreen all but shuts down if there's any sort of moisture on it. The sensitivity of the touchscreen has got better with the latest update to the firmware. I've found the yardages to be pretty much spot on with other devices. The battery could be better. Can easily get 1 round out of it but you'll be surprised at how much battery life just disappears when using it as a normal watch. Very rare that I don't have to charge it every day. I think that because it comes with the tags is the major usp over other watches. It can be a pain to upload and edit/sign off your rounds on the dashboard and that's when you find out how many shots it's missed during the round. I've often gone home knowing I was 7 over but Shotsscope has me down for a 64. Once you put the scorecard onto the dashboard you can see all your shots but if that feature was 'live' they would have a real winner.”

“Having had a very good experience with the V3 watch, when the X5 was offered at an introductory price with extra features, it was hard to turn down. Initially I had inexperience user problems, ie swiping was inconsistent and the crown dial took some getting used to. The only major problem I had was the watch going back to the clock face during a round, this was sorted due to a couple of firmware updates, the latest update 2.1.58 made using the watch on the course much easier. Having used the watch for some 60 rounds now, I'm more than happy with it, the watch and app system evaluate my game to a high degree. One gripe I have with the watch, is it doesn't function well when exposed to rain. Maybe a future firmware upgrade will solve this.”

“I have progressed through the three versions of the Shot Scope watches and this has proved to be a great advancement over the previous watch. I've not had any issues with the watch and have been very pleased with the watch and the support I have received from Shot Scope. They have issued improvements that have added functionality and improved the use of the ways of accessing the different modules the watch offers.”

“Having previously owned both a V2 & a V3 I wasn't sure what could improve. The screen size, overall design, build quality, touch-screen, Dogleg distance, improved tracking, new strap, the recent addition of counting shots for scoring have all done the business. I'm very happy with my X5.”

“This watch does everything you could ever want. I've had all the Shotscope watches and this one is the cream of the crop. I think in general Shotscope is the best way to track your stats and improve your game, and every iteration has been a solid improvement from the previous one. I really like some of the new features, especially the lay-up yardages, and distance to hazards. My only complaint would be that some of the added functionality with the touchscreen has made some actions cumbersome. Unlocking the touchscreen is never as easy as it should be, and when my course sends me off on the back first it's a bit tedious to switch to hole 10. Now and then I miss the simplicity of the older versions, but I'm also impressed by Shotscope addressing some of these little things already. I assume the next iteration will be even better.”

“Had my x5 for a few months now. Had one issue with the screen freezing but ran the battery down & re charged it, had no problems since. Great watch for the money”

“I am surprised that I've been asked to write a review of the X5 as my original purchase has been replaced three times due, in my opinion, to the product coming to market before it was ready. I have been a Shot Scope user since 2018 and generally loved the V1 and V2, the X5 however, has had, and continues to have, it's share of problems. I still like it and would recommend it to any golfer who wants to study their game and make improvements. When the teething issues have been sorted out it will be a great help to any golfer wanting to improve.”

“The GPS is very good, but at times the tag read doesn't work with certain clubs. . This makes tracking inaccurate”
