“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”

“My personal experience has been so poor I have gone back to my V3, just because I know I can trust it. The X5 is totally unusable in the wet weather. If you don’t wear it (uncomfortably) high up your arm, the pressure of your glove on the crown button resets the watch. I made a mistake upgrading. It is a very expensive folly.”

“Great watch for distances and stats. Occasionally misses shots but easily corrected when editing score. Watch needs a cover screen if used in rain and tags do work lose easily. Customer service is best I’ve come across.”

“Mostly happy with my watch. Only issue causing problems is the failure to identify the club being used. I always take at least 2 practice swings and hold the handle as recommended but have to hold the tag over the watch to ensure the club is recorded.”

“I played about 85 rounds this year with the X5 Watch. Missed very few shots, mostly when I chunked a chip and re-hit within a few yards. It would treat those like a single shot. It is so nice to see the strokes gained analysis down to each shot. The edit feature on the dashboard is easy to use. A request for another feature on the dashboard would be to have a summary report that would show the number of birdies, pars, etc for a given hole over a period of time. Again, very pleased with the watch in all ways!”

“I have used all the previous versions and am extremely happy with the X5. I have had no technical issues and found the transition to the X5 to be very manageable. Other than the putting on the greens I have found almost no editing has been required. Am enjoying the new features offered by the X5, with the exception only of the Lock function which I found a bit cumbersome and switched off.”

“Good product but like so many others I find it very hard and annoying to connect to a phone. I have had a number of shotscope products and comfortable using them but this is the worst.”
