2020 Official Member Review: SkyCaddie LX5 Watch

[MDGolfHacker 7,012]

All,

 I also wanted to mention that with your LX-5 purchase, you also get a years subscription to Golf Magazine.  If you already have a subscription, it adds to it so it extends your subscription.  You can also decline the subscription and get $15 back in terms of a rebate.

How many of us will be playing winter golf and be able to use this watch all winter?  I know I will probably get a couple of rounds in between now and March, but no more than 10.

I'll keep on using the watch until snow is on the ground

Lucky enough to live in a state that has bearable golf weather year round

My golf season is over, but I'll be using the watch next season.

I never stop playing! Definitely getting some golf use all through the winter.

I haven't golfed in a couple months, I've worn the watch here and there.  Since it's been sitting for some time now, now is the time to charge it back up and see what it's got since its hibernation

Should work just fine!

Droppin' a little update in here about how I am getting on with the LX5. I have been trying to figure out ways to use it without having to actually wear it (face is thick so looks real silly on me LOL). I tried attaching to the golf cart wheel which seemed to work really well, and I noticed that the watch's battery did not drain as much as it usually does. The only downside is that I did not use the watch as much as I normally would if I was wearing it. I was wearing my Apple Watch for basic FCB yardages and utilizing the LX5 for certain carry numbers on a few holes. Here is what the setup looked like in the golf cart.

 

I will more than likely continue to utilize the watch this way instead of wearing it. I will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Love that course! I still wear the LX-5 when I go out which is rare these days with Covid.
