MDGolfHacker 7,022 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 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.

JoshAndersonGolf 2,711 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 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.

AGutierrez7 149 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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. 1 Quote Most Recent Testing: GS53 3 Wood In my 2019 X-Cart Bag : M3 10.5* (TENSEI Blue 6R) GS53 3W 14* CLK 2017 4H 22* M6 Irons 4-PW (KBS MAX 85g Stiff Steel Shafts, Std Length & Lie) AW, SW: Forged Satin 48*, 54* LW: SM6 60* Infinite Putter Michigan Ave 34" Blue Current Tech: NX7 Rangefinder LX5 GPS Smartwatch Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Ross 666 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Bringing this review back up to the top for people to see now that we're getting into golf season. Our winter season was the worst for golf that I can remember. I usually get to play all winter for the most part but I think I only got out for 45 holes max. Things are looking good now though and I can't wait to get back on the course with my LX5! I'm still wearing it as my everyday watch and have no complaints! There was one hole recently that it randomly was giving a blatantly wrong yardage but the guy I was playing with said that hole had changed recently so I guess it just hadn't been updated. If anybody is stumbling across this thread for the first time, be sure sure to check it out as it is packed with good info on this watch! Ask any questions and we'll be glad to help! 3 Quote Driver: EXS 220 9.5° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 60 6.0 3 Wood: SpeedZone 14.5° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 70 6.0 3 Hybrid: 2017 CLK 19° Fujikura Speeder Evolution HB Stiff 4 Hybrid: 2020 CLK 22° Mitsubishi Tensei Blue Stiff Irons: JPX 921 Forged 5-9, JPX 921 Tour PW Project X LZ 6.0 Blackout Edition Wedges: Edison Forged 49°, 53°, 57° Putter: L.A.B.

palvord 3,606 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just a little addition to my thoughts on the watch. I had not used the watch since my last round of golf in October. I charged the watch and powered it on today and had to reset the date and time. I didn't have to do that any other time the battery died after multiple rounds, so perhaps the long hibernation was a reset of everything. Not the worst thing in the world to deal with, but a minor annoyance if you are pulling out the watch to play a round of golf and haven't had the time to make sure everything is up and running. 3 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Aldila Synergy Blue 50 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: TP5x Rangefinder: LX5 Watch Link to post Share on other sites
MDGolfHacker 7,022 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I've actually worn my watch on and off through this past year whenever I went out. It's stylish enough and I did have a couple people come up to me and ask me about it so of course I told him about my golf spy and about the watch itself.
