mcoz Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 22 hours ago, GolfSpy STUDque said: 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.

Don Happ Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Don Happ - South Bend, Indiana Have used Garmin Approach S1 and S2 (batteries on both seem to have taken less charge too quickly) Because neither watch holds a charge for full round any longer, I now use iPhone w/Hole 19.

vamosjackets Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Jonathan Rowe - Dublin, Georgia Yes, Android Phone App - SwingU I currently use the SwingU app on my Android phone which tells me distances, keep score, and handicap. I used to use a rangefinder, but found that I didn't play better when I used it so that it was more trouble than it was worth compared to the Phone GPS/SwingU app. A watch would be much better though so that I wouldn't have to keep my phone in my pocket throughout the round.
