Good distance reading. Finding it mostly easy to transfer info to my compute
I like the tags that allow you to record your stats if needed. It’s accurate and easy to use. I understand why the strap is designed the way it is but I’m not a fan because it comes undone too easily.
Brought this on a few recommendations from you tube golfers and I can easily say I am not disappointed. It tracks my clubs great and shows accurate GPS, the stats within the app are amazing and have helped my game no end. You do have to edit a few shots within a round at the end but its nothing complicated. Highly recommend this for any golfer that wants to improve their game.
This watch is brilliant I put the tags into the end of the corresponding club, registered on the app and away I went. The watch picks up the course very quickly, it recognises your club choice quickly and it recognises when you’re on the green quickly. You have to register the number of putts manually by pressing the corresponding button, but that’s it. After you finish your round and pressed the finish round button, the results are ready to view immediately on the app on your phone. After several rounds, It then works out your club distance for each club. It really is a brilliant piece of kit.
The watch is easy to use you don’t need to be a IT consultant.
But the app is a different story. Editing the round I found hard to use. I have had the watch for 4 rounds now and 4 attempts to edited the rounds through the app to a 100% accuracy have failed.
It just wore me down very frustrating.
But I still enjoy using the watch as a GPS and Tags, they do work, not like Golfpad which I had and didn’t work.
Using the Shot Scope delivers a lot of information about your game, however, not all parameters are explained nor how to use them to improve.
As a newcomer to the game if golf the SS has helped me considerably. Recording the length of my shots, particularly my driving has really helped me. Still trying to get my head around recording my putting shots but that’s me rather than the equipment! Overall it’s adding an improvement to my game.
So far I love how easy the product is to use, great value for money. The app is quite basic but has pretty much everything you need to analyse club shot distance, accuracy is surprisingly good.. I wasn’t sure how good this would but very impressed so far. Product works very well on the course but don’t be dissapointed with this not working on a driving range it picks up the club your using but no data, I would not see this as a negative as with range balls and hitting off mats this is not a true reflection on actual shot distances, so in summary the data I have collected so far is pretty accurate. Chipping putting shot accuracy short shots, long shots very happy thanlyou
I have been using for some time now. Easy to use and distances accurate. The hardest bit was forming a habit, by this I mean as a beginner I have quite a few penalities in a round and needed to remember to manually enter them in the watch to ensure that the score was accurate. Also, make sure you wear on the correct wrist so that the watch detects the sensors.
Editing the watch isn’t straight forward and often need to adjust for the putter and not too convinced about the distances when using the same club concurrently.
If you like to see all the stats it’s a great watch and app; if not I’d go for something a bit simpler but generally looking at other watches it’s good value watch.
Very accurate yardages to all greens and hazards. You need to do one practice swing for it to pick up what club you’re using and is extremely reliable at getting it right. If you switch clubs last minute it might occasionally record the wrong one but the vast majority are perfect. You don’t notice it on your wrist at all while playing – super light and comfortable.
The analysis post-round is fantastic. Brilliant at tracking individual club performance, approach success, fairway success, where different parts of your game are compared to other handicaps etc. The stats on both app and web portal are honestly brilliant and very easy to use.
Could not recommend this enough – fantastic big of kit!
superb and easy to use, very very accurate but totally let down with the score function. No way to enter your scores manually, V3 supposedly keeps track, all you do is enter how many puts you took (which takes time as you have to remember to do on each hole) I have used 8 times now and it is not even close with my score, sometimes as much as 10 strokes off. there is a function to enter your shots manually but who remembers every shot they have taken !!! and it is quite complicated doing this even if you do remember.
I would have given 5 stars but the scoring really really let’s it dow
Gives good a good yardage reading to hazards and pin. I like the club distance Stats, that is helping me with club choice already.
Battery excellent with a charge easily coping with 2 rounds and more.
Early days but pleased so far.
After using the watch more than 5 times I’ve actually seen that my average score has started coming down. This is due to seeing more of an average of how far my shots have been going allowing my course management to be alot better! Would highly recommend it too anyone!!
Have been using the v3 for a few months now. Honesty can say I love it. Very easy to use, the battery life lasts a good time to! So good for reviewing your stats post round to. Highly recommend.
Have used this watch a few times now for both tracking and gps. The tracking is very intuitive and is pretty accurate. Given the option on the app to add/remove shots if needs be.
Particularly cool feature is the performance average. This uses some algorithms to remove very short shots such as a punchy 5/7i out of some trees from your averages and give you a more accurate average for each club.
Battery is capable of tracking 2 rounds on one charge. Is quick to charge to full from nearly empty.
I have found the GPS to be very accurate for both the greens and obstacles across the 3 courses that I’ve played with it.
Would recommend this watch to player of any level.
Very pleased with watch, it is easy to use and provides great feedback. Not the easiest to navigate for adding a penalty shot during the round, but early days.
Highly recommend.
Not only is a great distance watch but the club sensors and supporting free app, give you great detail on how your game is doing. You can save all rounds into app and use club, shot, distance, putt analysis to see where you are going right/wrong
Great buy and the sensors are easy to fit and come free with watch
Sure it takes a few minutes to lock onto its GPS location, and Yes, each round needs double-checked and sometimes edited, but it’s worth it. The stats it produces clearly shows which part(s) of your game needs the most attention and practice.
It’s great on-course too – the distances to Front, Middle and Back of the greens; to the Front and To Clear hazards – really helps club selection. And your accumulating stats give you greater insight into how far you actually hit each club and therefore club selection.
After the round, every shot (club and distance) is overlaid on a satellite image of each hole. I love it and can’t recommend it highly enough.
Excellent as a GPS. Shot recording very good of the tee, but seems to miss a few shots around the greens.
I suspect the shot tracking is better suited to low and mid-range handicap players as opposed to high handicapers like myself.
Will update after more rounds if needed. First impressions are good. Very easy to set up. Took a good few goes to pair with my phone on set up, ut pretty smooth after. There a bit of fiddling at times post round then. Good few shots not registered and having to figure out actual pin locations and what to do with lost balls. Distance yardage seemed spot on always, love the detail with the hazards too. Fantastic technology overall. Need to remember to collect the pin and enter the putts, but once I make it habit that’ll be smooth too. Love the amount of post editing possible. I’d like to be able to enter a hole as a picked up ball post round though.
I faffed around deciding whether or not to get the v3 primarily due to reports about how much has to be edited after a round
I have not found this to be the case. The only errors I have picked up seem to in respect of fairway bunkers where accuracy of the gps may not pick-up that one has visited a fairway bunker
The only other problem is operator error when I forget to enter number of putts on the green
So all round very happy. Easy to use/good value/gps finds course quickly/love performance stats

Brilliant. Good post match data once you realise, connect to phone to download info from watch. Edit is by logging into shotscope website on iPad or laptop. Interesting data. Would recommend.
It’s very accurate. Used it on four occasions. The only issue I found was your practice swing it counted it.
But overall it’s learnt me the distance between each club
My first golf piece of kit and love it. Distances are spot on and it’s great to play with. The performance stats are OK, but every single round needs to be amended unfortunately. Still very good though.
Overall though is a great watch looks nice on the wrist highly accurate on course (do give it a few seconds to adjust distance fully when you reach your ball though) picks up clubs and distances well and the app gives a wealth of information to help improve your overall game
Great for seeing stats at the end of your round, takes a bit of time to get used to ie remember the hole out button once putted. I would recommend this to anyone who wants distance accuracy and shot stats.
A slight improvement could be to make the distances to hazards clearer. Although all the information is there it is not always obviously which hazard it is referring to. Also, it can take some time to find the course, so start it up as you walk to the first tee.
As you’d expect with modern technology the GPS function on this watch is faultless – easily locking onto a signal within seconds and automatically updating as you navigate around the course – even if that is side to side !!
If GPS is your thing above all else then I’d plump for the G3 version which does not have tracking built in.
So for the main I’m going to concentrate on the tracking function and outline some of my observations.
Fitting the ‘tags’ to the clubs is a simple process – you the need to use the Shot Scope website or app to ‘marry’ the tags to your specific clubs in the ‘My Bag’ page.
Once at the course, switch on the watch and make sure you highlight the correct course, and off you go.
The watch strap has a built in sensor that ‘pairs with’ the tag, therefore registering the shot and subsequent tracking data – all done automatically.
Once on the green, the watch display automatically changes to the ‘Collect Pin’ function and you tell the watch how much putts you needed to hole out. On finishing your game, you confirm on the watch and then ‘sync’ the data into the Shot Scope app. – then the fun begins!
Editing your round is crucial to record as accurate data as possible – this is the point that may see some users get fed up very quickly – as you need to recall your round in detail in case there has been some errors within the data that the watch recorded – so far I’m OK with it, but it may still be the novelty factor the now.
Some issues I’ve found that you need to be mindful of:-
As mentioned above, the watch automatically pairs with a club when the tag gets close enough to the strap – therefore it may ‘map’ the wrong location for your shot – eg clubs at greenside and registers your putter (therefore thinking your ball is there too).
Accurately recording distances on the green are something also to be mindful of – I now make a point to walking to my ball on the green and registering the putter as the club in use prior to marking ball/lining up my shot.
If you play consecutive shots with the same club – it has no way of knowing that until you edit post round
As an individual you’ll work out the best way round the above issues to best suit.
Having read up on similar products, there appears to be flaws with most on the market at the moment, and at time of writing I’m prepared to persevere with this one
Happy to answer any feedback/comments you may have.
Stay safe everyone and enjoy your golf!
