Popular Post STUDque 11,855 Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 TESTERS ANNOUNCED! We've got TEN forum members who are going to see if the SkyCaddie LX5 GPS watch is going to be the best tool for them to hear "Pin high" just a little more often! @AGutierrez7 @ballplayer002003 @JoshAndersonGolf @Josh Ross @knightsofnii @mikeanthony @MDGolfHacker @MrBandit @palvord @TCUFrog Full announcement HERE. There’s some irony when contemplating the market for watches in 2020. Specifically, it’s a situation where the original purpose of the item is no longer a defining selling point. Remember when the primary, if not the only, purpose of a watch was to keep time? Me neither. It’s a reasonable assumption that time is anything but of the essence; golfers are far more interested in all of the golf-related stuff that this piece of wearable technology does. The SkyCaddie LX5 GPS watch is built around the architecture of the SX500, which was named the “Best Handheld GPS” in MyGolfSpy’s annual Most Wanted testing. It offers an abundance of bundled golf technology, and did I mention it also tells time. Ain’t that something? TESTERS WANTED This review opportunity is open to members residing in the United States. If you'd like to be considered, please reply to this thread with the following information: Name and Location Have you ever used a GPS device or watch? Which one(s)?

spf513 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) 1. Shawn Fidler; Kents Store, VA 2. Currently have a Tasco range finder and I can't lock on to any pin or it takes 5 minutes. I also use the 19Hole app for GPS and love that. 3. Mainly the 19Hole app at the moment due to its reliability or prior course knowledge. Thank you!
