The only complaints are1. Back light doesn’t turn on automatically like my Garmin Vivoactive 4 did.2. Screen isn’t bright like a iWatch.

Got this as a treat for myself do an upcoming golf trip. Tested it at a local course and when the trip came and we got to the first of 3 courses, we couldn’t get it to load the courses. Needed a reboot but we didn’t have a computer with us and you couldn’t do it on our phone Disappointed but amHopeful the reboot will resolve the issue. Timing is everything I guess. 4 18 hole rounds I would have loved to be able to use it and the sensors I bought. Maybe next time

This is a great golf watch. I golf every day and it only took a few rounds to figure it out. The band is very flexible and wraps around your wrist nicely. I love the shot feature that detects and measures every shot. I turned off the club prompt which asks which club you hit because its not necessary unless you are uploading stats. Plan to wear the watch on your lead wrist if you want the shot detection to work. The scoring feature is also easy to use! Be aware that you cannot swipe the watch for features if you use your hand that has a glove on. The screen gets brighter in the sun and the only reason you would need the backlight is if you want to see what time it is in the dark. The watch is very thin and can be used as an everyday watch. I would buy it again!

Came in different packaging, otherwise indistinguishable from new. Powered up fine, charged to 100% quickly. Activated, found satellites and paired to Garmin app without issue. Works well on course. Good product, equally good $ savings.

I had difficulty syncing with the Garmin app, and constantly receive “Memory is full” alerts on the watch. I finally was able to sync last night and got a “Memory is full” alert this morning. Maybe that explains why battery life is so short, about three days.While it keeps time accurately, I haven’t used it on a golf course yet.

I bought this watch for my wife, who is a golfer, she had been wanting one. I took the time to research several brands, makes and models. After a few discussions with fellow golf’s who have a similar if not identical watch I made the purchase. It is so easy to use and my wife is very happy with the easy functionality. Now I have set my eyes on a new one for myself!!
