Shot Scope V2 Golf GPS Watch and Performance Tracker

There are genuinely many things to like about this watch, however there are also quite a few things that need some improvement. I think it's important to say I do not have any regrets with my purchase and I certainly don't want this review to put a prospective buyer off, but there are some things any buyer should be aware of.Let's start with the positives. The GPS accuracy on course is fantastic. I do still use this in conjunction with an app that gives me course mapping as satellite images. Sometimes knowing how far the hazards are is not the same as seeing them on the map! ShotScope tallies exactly with my app for yardages which to me is a great endorsement of ShotScope's accuracy.I love the fact that you can include your penalties/drops etc during the round with a simple push of the button and it even starts a timer for you if you need to look for a lost ball. No running over time looking in the rough! I also really like the fact I can sync my round with my phone immediately after I finish.The stats analysis through the dashboard after you sync your rounds is great. Albeit, it does rely on you correcting missed or incorrectly recorded shots - more on that later. However, having the ability to dig into any aspect of your game is great. The fact it records every shot and you're not guessing at what you did means you can really understand which clubs work for you and which don't, as well as making you think about just pulling the driver out every time when it may actually not be your best club!Now, let's look at where there are room for improvements. First, it's very bulky on your wrist, including the strap and buckle, which for me means that in-swing I actually rub against my opposing forearm to the point it gives me a friction burn. I have to wear a sweatband to prevent this. Now I realise this may be a function of my swing and how I grip the club, but I think my grip is pretty conventional and I am often told I have a good swing, so I am not convinced it is anything I am doing wrong.The charging time is pretty poor and battery life is not the best. You might get two 3 hour rounds out of it at a push, but you won't get two four rounds out of it, so if you are on a golfing holiday, remember your charger so you can charge each night.You can't see your score in-round. There's no function to swap to a scorecard view and know how many shots or putts you have taken at a point in the round. You can only see it at the end after you sync and that leads into my next and biggest frustration....Dropped shots from the round! This is my biggest complaint. Everything else I can deal with, but this really irritates me. I have recorded my score on my phone app due to the point I make above about no scorecard view, so I know what I have scored, but so far after 10 rounds, not once after I sync has the watch recorded all of my shots or correctly recorded drops/penalties! So I have to go into the edit round function and cross-reference my phone app to make sure I have all the shots included. This also means I have to remember most of what happened in my round to fill in the blanks. I shouldn't need to do this. The whole point of having the sensors is to get this right and not mean I need to go in and fill in gaps from memory.I can deal with all of this, it's just not ideal. So far I have been willing to accept it because I really do find the stats analysis fantastic and it is that which I ultimately purchased the watch for. As a 21 handicapper I am looking for some details to hep me reduce that number. Anything that gives me better info on where I go wrong is helpful.So, final verdict? No regrets, but I would love to see some software improvements to get better accuracy and stop the dropped shots issue. It's really easy to use, does for the most part what you want, especially on course GPS mapping, but needs some investment in the sensor and tracking detail. That would make me give it 5 stars instead of 4.

Reasonably accurate as GPS.Club distances often don't change for every shot.Putting not record not good at all.Used it roughly weekly for less than three years and now the battery only works for 14 or 15 holes.Can it be replaced.

Ich habe die Uhr gekauft, nach dem ich auf YouTube einen Pro gesehen habe die die benutzt und entsprechend seine Schläge im Rahmen des „Course Management“ Voraus geplant hat. Mir fiel auf, dass er nicht nur zum Grün, sondern auch zu den verschiedenen Hindernissen immer „Front“ and „Back“ yardage in Betracht gezogen hatte und eher aggressiv gewesen ist, in dem er den Schläger nahm mit dem er „garantiert“ länger schlug. Ich habe persönlich immer die Abstände geschätzt und war eher kürzer und bei einem schlechten Schlag war das Hindernis „immer noch im Weg“... da ich auch eine Handy App nutzte konnte ich die Hindernisse zwar sehen aber war nie „mutig“ darüber zu schlagen.Nun ist es anders... ich habe die Uhr am WE bestellt und erhielt sie dank des Prime Vorteils schon nach 2 Tagen. Die Installation der Gratis App war problemlos. Die Uhr startete zwar aber blinkte eindeutig 0% Batterieenergie. Ein USB-Kabel ist mitgeliefert aber ich wollte die Uhr Nicht an den Computer anschließen. Ich habe ein Handy Kabel benutzt um sie auf 20% aufzuladen und fuhr sofort zum Heimplatz. Ich habe 3 Löcher geschlagen und schon nach dem 1 Schlag zeigten sich die Hindernisse eindeutig. Da ich noch Anränger bin dachte ich na ja hindernis bei 140, schaffe ich eh nie und schlug einen geraden Schlag mit meinem längsten eisen. Der Ball landete einige meter vom Hindernis. Danach ging es weiter, ich habe nur noch auf den Griff und Schwung geachtet, habe versucht die Schläge so gerade wie möglich zu schlagen. Die Abstände waren akkurat und daraufhin meine Schlägerwahl ebenso. Ich kenne meine Tragweite gut und muss zugeben, vieles ging früher schief weil ich mich auf meine Schätzung der Abstände verließ, das aber wirklich mangelhaft war, obwohl ich mich an den Anhaltspunkten orientiert hatte.Zuhause betrachtete ich meine Schläge auf der App. Der Platz wird von Google-Map übernommen (Satelliten Bilder) und die Schläger anhand der „Tags“ identifiziert. Leider hatte ich ein Problem, und zwar wenn ich 2 Schläge mit dem selben Schläger hintereinander machte, wurden beide summiert und die Gesamtdistanz als einzigen Schlag angezeigt. Das kann man aber bearbeiten (wenn man sich erinnert welcher es war, manchmal ändert die App den Schläger als „D“ für Driver). Nach dem bearbeiten macht die App aus den Schlag 2 oder 3 gleichmäßigen Abständen. Wichtig für die Statistik, die Schlaglänge wird angezeigt. Ich habe nun eine neue Yardage-Tabelle!!Der Support (ich vermute aus England) ist 1A.Ich kann nicht so gut englisch aber habe meine Frage(n) gestellt. Noch am folgenden Werkstag bekam ich eine E-Mail mit fragen, ob ich daran gedacht habe die Uhr richtig zu tragen und ob ich Probeschwünge machen würde. Zudem sollte ich keinen weiteren Schmuck tragen oder Magnete in der Nähe der Uhr. Denn in dem Fall, kann es sein dass der Schläger nicht erkannt wird. Da ich eher keine Probeschwünge mache, habe ich dann durch Zufall entdeckt, dass runtergreifen (wedgeplay) und nur „waggle“ ohne Probeschwung „mein Problem“ war. Ich habe nicht vor, meine Schlagroutine zu ändern und bin bereit die Schläge dann später auf der App zu bearbeiten.Ich würde jedem Golfer diese Uhr empfehlenIch habe keinen Vergleich zu anderen Uhren, aber zu HandyApps und die Uhr ist definitiv überzeugender. Zudem sind Handys in offiziellen Runden verboten wobei die Uhr erlaubt „sei“.Support erntet auch 5 Sterne!!!! *****Vor dem Kauf schauen, online oder bei Installation der Gratis App vorweg vor dem Kauf (Registrierung per E-Mail und Passwort) ob der Heimatclub in der Liste ist... aber laut Support wäre dies kein Problem, die weben damit, dass sie für den Käufer innerhalb von 3 Tagen die Kursdaten besorgen!!Wie schon zwischen den Zeilen und der Bewertung zu erkennen ist, bin ich mit dem Kauf bestens zufrieden und empfehle das Produkt wärmstens an jeden der sich für diese Art Uhr interessiert!

I received the shot scope V2 from my wife for Christmas. I used it a couple days later and it worked great. I had a terrible day and it very successfully kept up with chasing my ball around the course. I had to fix one shot where the GPS location was off for the tee off (Easily done using my laptop online). I also had to add one shot for a penalty that I forgot to mark using the watch during play. It did a great job documenting my shots including my putts. The pin collect feature worked awesome and was very easy to use.Positives: Accurate, Easy to use on the course, Very Accurate GPS with great documentation of the greens locations, Excellent overhead view of course with shot marking of the rounds following upload of the data, No batteries required in the sensors, The sensors were easy to install.Cons: The side buttons on the watch can be accidentally pushed by your glove or jacket during play. The only side effect of this was that the hole advanced one way or the other and I had to put it back on the correct hole prior to the next shot. This correction only took a brief second and did not affect the recording of shots.Other thoughts: Sure the watch is big (Smaller than diving watches) but it's only meant to be worn while playing golf. The fact that I don't have to pull out my phone to use the system is great. I can leave my phone in the cart or car even with this system. I played a 3.5 hour round and the watch battery was at 65% when I was done. The watch GPS was very accurate and I like that the distance to the green is so accurately maintained by shot scope. The GPS seemed more accurate for the greens than my Garmin was. The watch takes 4 or 5 hours to charge the first time, my watch arrived totally dead. I charged it following the round and it still shows fully charged 4 days later if I turn the watch on (This is expected but I saw a review that said it drained while off, I'm not seeing that). This system seems much better than than other systems that use your phone for the data and required the sensors to have batteries. My putter has a weighted grip so I had to snip off the threads on the sensor and glue it to my putter. I used hot glue for this and it seems very secure.I added a picture of it next to my Garmin Vivoactive HR that I used to use for golf yardages. It is definitely bigger but not so much that it's a bother during golf. Remember it's not meant to be worn as an everyday watch (although an update for that might be coming). It's an awesome piece of tech. Well worth the investment especially for a tech geek like myself.Update 24 July 2019. I've played over 30 rounds now using the watch. It's still awesome. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. Battery life if fine. I would feel naked golfing without it. The mapping of course sand traps and other hazards is great. They recently added an "Explore" tab on the website when navigated to via a computer. It allows you to "Join" courses where your data is compared to and you can see other's data for that course that have also joined it. It automatically tracks longest drive on par 5s and other stats. Add a little fun factor to the system. This system cannot be beat. If you are thinking of buying a shot tracker or even just a golf GPS watch, this is the one for you. I've received nothing from the company for this review by the way, I just love their product this much.

I bought this watch to replace a sky caddie that I used for 7 years was very interested in the features that it offered but thought at the time if I didn’t use them it was still a good price for gps watch. Practiced with it over the winter months had a couple of teething problems but turned out to be user error, did contact support at got results within 24 hours. I was never a golfer to take plenty of practice swings( maybe that’s why I struggle) and I am right handed but have always wore a watch on my right hand so wasn’t sure it would work for me but after feeling uncomfortable putting it on it was no problem, read a few reviews about practice swings well like I said it’s one practice swing and I’m away and 99% after I have always had the club chosen on the rounds section where the stats are saved, The putting recordings are as good as the way I record them user error again as even now I forget to mark the pin ,however the information of how many putts taken is correct.I really like it as a product why would I want to go back to skycaddie they say they are best but have used then together and gps wise no difference.I would also say even if you were not into collecting all of your performances I think it is great that when I choose to change my driver with the extra sensors provided you could take 2 clubs out on the course and get not only see how the ball fly you get real time performance to see if that extra outlay on a new club is worth it.
