Strokes Gained are the key stat for knowing what to work on
Easy set up, easy to use. I never wore a watch while playing and this isn't obtrusive at all. The only finicky part about it is accurately reading where you putt from. I played 2 rounds with the putter tag on, but it fell off midway through the second round. I've since played 2 using the Manual Putt feature, where you tap the button at the location of each putt. Just don't forget to hit the button and the Pin Collect button at the hole. Each round has required post-round editing to fix where I putted from, but most of the shots with any clubs are in the right spot. One tip: don't let the strap "read" the club tag until you're at your ball. During the first round I used it the strap read the club tag as I was standing next to the tee box, rather than on it. So during editing it thought I'd hit my tee shots from outside the teeing area. It's just a matter of not letting the tag get near the strap until you're at your ball/on the teebox. I just hold the club in my right hand (watch on the left, I'm a righty).The GPS yardages have been pretty accurate, though I do rely on my rangefinder for an accurate read on how far the flagstick is. I haven't used the hazards feature much as some on my course (water) aren't on there.As for the stats, they're only as good as the accuracy of the shot location. That's why post-round editing is a must, to make sure all shots are recorded accurately.Being able to benchmark your Strokes Gained against various handicap levels is huge (Tour Pro, 0, 5, 10...). This shows you where you're losing strokes against that benchmark and what you need to work on. It's not necessarily hitting a bucket of drivers. It may be approach play or putting. And is it putting inside 10 feet or the 20-30 footers.No subscriptions or added costs once you've bought the watch.If I had it to do over again, I would buy this watch again.

It doesn't have all the golf courses that appeared on the web page.
I am disappointed with this watch because I bought it revising that some of the golf courses in Colombia were mapped, when I got the watch a lot of them were advertised and included in the web page but they weren't available in the app and neither in the dashboard. I have write some many mails to them asking them to map the courses to include them, because that's also a selling promise that in 48 hours they will map the courses and that's a lie, they don't answer, and obviously they don't mapp and don't include the courses. So if you live outside the US or England I don't know if it works for you. I bought the V3.

Awesome, give it a try!
This is a pretty amazing package for an incredible price. The distances have been spot on. The tracking has been almost flawless with very few missed shots.A couple of minor gripes would be battery life and round editing from the mobile app. I doubt the battery would make it through two long rounds. Editing rounds from the mobile app isn't terrible, but the online dashboard blows the app away. Neither issue warrants dropping a star, though.I was previously using the Approach S60 and decided to give this a try and am so happy I did.I'll be sticking with the V3 until the V4 releases. Great job Shot Scope!!!

Very happy with the gps watch
I am very pleased with the shot scope v3. I am still in the learning phase and have a few issues with the method of correcting a round after the fact. The biggest issue has been forgetting to enter the putt on each hole. I am improving (this is a process failure on my part.)I am particularly pleased to see my club performance statistics although I am very humbled by the fact that I do NOT hit as far as I believed!This is a very good product and I believe it is helping me.

Simple
Really simple to use. Sometimes it misses a swing. Probably good to get into habit of swiping the tag past the band as part of a preshot routine. The app is easy to add and edit. Really cool to see where you went around the golf course and tells you how far you hit.

Difficult to use
Shotgun start couldn’t move it to correct tee. Once it caught up to correct tee, it wasn’t the most accurate numbers to FMB of green. Then after the round the analytic were very hard to retrieve. What something simple that works. This wasn’t it!

Great value with terrific data & analytics.
Easy to set up & use. Comfortable to wear. Distances accurate for hazards. Green distances are measured as a direct line for doglegs but don’t affect play as approaches are direct line of site.Will occasionally miss or add a shot but able to edit after a round. Would be helpful to add more detail instructions on how to edit scorecard on dashboard, but very satisfied with product.

Stats!
It’s awesome. I have 5 rounds logged and I love the data provided and formats. The strokes gained analysis it provides is really helpful to dial in area to improve. I especially like the shot tracking dispersion.

Shot Scope V3 - GPS golf watch
I'd like to share my experiences with this watch. I purchased it to try and get real time feedback on my distances and short game. I'm an experienced golfer with a current handicap of 3.As you'd expect with modern technology the GPS function on this watch is faultless - easily locking onto a signal within seconds and automatically updating as you navigate around the course - even if that is side to side !!If GPS is your thing above all else then I'd plump for the G3 version which does not have tracking built in.So for the main I'm going to concentrate on the tracking function and outline some of my observations.Fitting the 'tags' to the clubs is a simple process - you the need to use the Shot Scope website or app to 'marry' the tags to your specific clubs in the 'My Bag' page.Once at the course, switch on the watch and make sure you highlight the correct course, and off you go.The watch strap has a built in sensor that 'pairs with' the tag, therefore registering the shot and subsequent tracking data - all done automatically.Once on the green, the watch display automatically changes to the 'Collect Pin' function and you tell the watch how much putts you needed to hole out. On finishing your game, you confirm on the watch and then 'sync' the data into the Shot Scope app. - then the fun begins!Editing your round is crucial to record as accurate data as possible - this is the point that may see some users get fed up very quickly - as you need to recall your round in detail in case there has been some errors within the data that the watch recorded - so far I'm OK with it, but it may still be the novelty factor the now.Some issues I've found that you need to be mindful of:-As mentioned above, the watch automatically pairs with a club when the tag gets close enough to the strap - therefore it may 'map' the wrong location for your shot - eg clubs at greenside and registers your putter (therefore thinking your ball is there too).Accurately recording distances on the green are something also to be mindful of - I now make a point to walking to my ball on the green and registering the putter as the club in use prior to marking ball/lining up my shot.If you play consecutive shots with the same club - it has no way of knowing that until you edit post roundAs an individual you'll work out the best way round the above issues to best suit.Having read up on similar products, there appears to be flaws with most on the market at the moment, and at time of writing I'm prepared to persevere with this oneHappy to answer any feedback/comments you may have.Stay safe everyone and enjoy your golf!

Great insights into game
I chose this particular watch primarily because it came with the tags to screw into the end of my golf clubs, which makes it great value for money compared with other watch/club tag sets. The yardages to the green and hazards are pretty accurate and it's reasonably quick and easy to log a penalty on the course without holding up play. The customer service (based in Scotland) has been prompt, professional and courteous with a couple of initial queries I had (not related to a problem with the watch). The watch has picked up my local golf course with no trouble (just give it a few minutes to find it before you play) and has worked great, and I can login and edit my round afterwards via their free app or on my laptop and view the statistics eg how many times I missed the fairway and hit right (or left) into the rough, percentage of putts I missed long or short, most accurate club used etc etc. I feel it has given me some helpful insights into my game and what I need to work on.

Accurate with amazing battery life
Excellent distances to front, middle and back of green. The amount of data that is collected is amazing and I am still working through what and how to use this to improve my game. Battery life is easily good enough for 36 holes and the watch is unobtrusive and comfortable to wear.A slight improvement could be to make the distances to hazards clearer. Although all the information is there it is not always obviously which hazard it is referring to. Also, it can take some time to find the course, so start it up as you walk to the first tee.

Best GPS watch on the market
If you like to analyse of all aspects of your game from tee to green this watch is for you. The data it keeps will only help improve your game and reduce your handicap. The tags allow you to know how far you hit the ball from driver to wedge. Once you have got use to its functionality, its easy to use and is so light you dont know you have it on.
