Shot Scope V2 Smart GPS Golf Watch

[CamDeen 22]

Is anyone using the Shot Scope V2 Smart GPS Golf Watch while playing? (or when they were playing?) What are your thoughts?

There's a thread here mate: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/34723-arccos-versus-shotscope-v2/

I'm using the Shot Scope V2 and quite like it but am really looking forward to getting the V3 with the improvements that they've made.

Hi Cam -

Been a user since V1. If you're the type who doesn't like wearing a watch while playing, there's nothing about the V2 that will change your mind. It doesn't bother me any, but it might be a deal breaker for some. I've seen the new V3 - much sleeker and nicer looking than V2. Shot Scope says it's actually a wee bit smaller/lighter than an Apple Watch, if that puts it into some perspective for you. 

I'm a fan of the way it tracks your shots without you having to do much of anything - no tagging, no phone, just play golf. You may have to do a little post round editing every once in a while, but it is what it is. The stats are presented simply, without being overwhelming. My favorite part of it, however, is the ability to save bucket list rounds - kind of virtual souvenirs, if you will.

 

 

 

It functions very well as a GPS watch, and the shot tracking and stats are both first rate. And they've priced it nicely.  It's not perfect, but for what it is and what it does, it's a nice balance. I don't think it should be compared to ARCCOS, even though they sorta kinda do similar things. I don't like that much phone interaction when I play, and battery life is always a concern (prefer and hand-help GPS, like the Sky Caddie). 

There are better GPS watches that cost quite a bit more, but when you combine the shot tracking and stats - if that's what you're after - it's a great value and does what it claims.

@CamDeen --

There's another really good discussion of the ShotScope V2 at...

 

It turned into a long topic, so a lot to read, but there is a LOT of good info in there on the product along with people's experiences with it while playing .. take a look!

 

[CamDeen 22]

Such great insight into the product, I really appreciate it @GolfSpy Barbajo @cksurfdude and @MattF. I didn't even realize there was a V3 coming out. Might hold off and wait for it. I really like all the feedback it provides for the golfer to analyze.

Here is the link discussing V3

According to SS, they are on schedule for delivery end of May (that was before the huge COVID19 outbreak, so who knows now)
I'm a V1 user, skipped V2 and have preordered V3.

What I really like about SS is how they took our feedback from V1, improved V2 and then took more feedback from V2 and (hopefullly) made V3 better...

Their customer service is top notch... all my inquiries, corrections, requests have been answered within 1 hour.

Right on, with more research I pulled the trigger last night on a V2 and performance tracking system (free). Cant wait for it to show up and put into use!! Thank for all the helpful insights everyone!

Okay, so been using the SS V2 for a month with no real issues. Then, this weekend I turn it on set it up and play collecting the pins, then ending the round .. when I got home I can’t sync the watch because there is no round to sync.

WTH?

Anybody have any suggestions?

That's weird. Have you contacted their customer service, they're pretty good at responding to questions.

Agree, customer service is outstanding.  Good product, easy to use and logs lots of stats, just wish they were a little more actionable.

- I have the V2 and have been using it for about 2 years now. If you are stat tracker then this is a great device. if all you want is GPS and distances there are probably better devices out there for you. But I am an engineer and love how this gives data that is trendable so you can track your performance improvement. Looking forward to the V3 as I have pre-ordered it.

I like how you threw in an image of your round at St. Andrews. To make everyone jealous xP

Yes customer service is awesome. My first unit came with a cracked screen and it was replaced immediately.
