REVIEWED! Shot Scope V5 GPS Watch vs X5 Golf Watch

[@MikeEverden-lz8pj]

They have brought out numerous straps for the V5 now

[@fungolfuk]

Yes you’re right. You can now choose to add blue, white and grey! 👍🏌️‍♂️

Looks great

[@johnmcdonnell8538]

Is there a way to manually track shots rather than use the sensors?

[@fungolfuk]

Hi John, you can use the shot scope app for general mapping on the course using GPS but you wont be able to track your shots for post game analysis without the tags. It might be worth looking at the shot scope G5 watch 🏌️‍♂️👍

So is the only difference with x5 the touch screen? If you move the pin position on green view, does it generate a modified front middle back distance along that target line? Or does it only show closest and furthest part of the green?

[@fungolfuk]

Yeah basically the main difference is the touch screen, and the chrome effect on the watch face and buttons. And yes with the pin locator function if you choose a different pin placement it will give you a more accurate distance. Hope this helps. 👍🏌️‍♂️

No x5 has that with firmware update

What about battery life, it’s not great on the v3 enough for two rounds. Also I heard several glitches with the software on the X5

[@fungolfuk]

@guyr7351 battery life was much improved, after my first 18 holes I had 68% remaining (and I was playing with the features a lot too). Definitely better than the V3, and X5 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@guyr7351]

Good to see they use the upgraded tags as well. It also has a much better strap than the V3. I have a small hair band acting as a securing loop to stop the strap coming loose on the V3, the watch display is looking much improved as well. Is it still a custom charging lead rather than a USB connection?
