“I bought the watch when it was first released. Worked flawlessly until the last firmware upgrade which appears to have caused issues with the watch's ability to read the club tags. I have done hard reboots on multiple occasions and this does not appear to rectify the issue. Club was intermittent but not even if I place the tag directly against either the watch face or on the watch band the tags are not read. All settings within settings are set to allow/display tag info. This was not an issue with previous firmware.”

“I had the V3 and loved it, I like the upgraded features of the X5 and in particular support team confirmed that it will have full hole view in near future (it was meant to arrive at the end of summer 2023...still waiting). GPS is very accurate (compared with a range finder side by side on course), it is simple to use and the app is fantastic giving great stats The bad points are in the rain it is not very usable, the touch screen can't handle it. Plenty of times I'm in the middle of the green and it won't go into putts count screen, still has me at X yards are from green. I really think once the kinks are worked out and hole view is available this is a fantastic value product. If you compare it for another GPS watch for the same price I don't think you can get close it what shot scope offer overall Bluetooth connectivity is very intermittent, I often find myself restarting the app and watch before it pairs”

“If you are looking for a GPS watch that tracks your stats at the same time this is all you need. I have found GPS on course to be quite accurate, courses are easy to find and with new features constantly being rolled out you just cant go wrong with the X5. Stat tracking is not only eye opening but is rather fun to go look at after your round or your game as whole.”

“Watch delivers on distances to hazards & club performances, to a degree. I find initialisation at start of round to be long winded. The step count function does not work when pushing a trolley. Fine when carrying. End of round & exiting the programme is difficult, if not signing off immediately.”

“I have had several versions of the Shotscope GPS tracking watch systems. The X5 is an improvement in most respects on the earlier iterations. The additional information presented on hazards, the ability to set pin location, and better pick up of golf shots are all helpful improvements. The downside with the touchscreen is that when it is raining it can be difficult to use as the rain affects the interface. An ability to turn off the touch screen would be helpful. The tracking of clubs seems better than previous iterations. I have used it for a full season and over 150 rounds and it has performed very well. I did have a problem with the first version and it was promptly replaced. The support and technical service at shotscope is phenomenal! They respond quickly and make changes quickly as well. I still have friends with Garmin's waiting for course updates a year later.”

“Lots of features and easy to use however it regularly takes 5+ minutes to locate satellites when my previous watch never took longer than 30 seconds”
