SHOT SCOPE X5 GPS WATCH REVIEW
The Shot Scope X5 is a revolutionary golf watch that flawlessly integrates shot tracking and GPS information into its design. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Shot Scope V3, this watch improves off-course appeal while maintaining its acclaimed shot-tracking capabilities. The second-generation lightweight tracking tags provide precise and accurate performance data, offering a glimpse into the future of golf technology.
Setting up the watch is straightforward, with the only task being screwing the tracking tags into your golf clubs. The watch must be worn on your lead arm and be within 10cm of the tracking tags to accurately record shots. Depending on whether you’re using GPS or GPS+Track, the X5 takes about 20 seconds to locate your course.
To encompass the multitude of features this watch provides would require an almost infinite amount of time. Its extensive functionality caters to the needs of golfers, making it imperative to focus on the key aspects considered when selecting a golf GPS watch in this review.
The main display features useful information such as the club used for each shot, distances to the front, middle, and back of the course, hole number, par, and your current score. Other features include shot distance measurement, hazard distances, a map of the green with the ability to move the pin position, doglegs and layup distances, and the ability to add penalty shots.
While the touchscreen navigation is generally functional, it can be less responsive than expected. However, the screen is crystal clear and easy to read in any lighting condition. You can transfer data to the Shot Scope app for detailed performance statistics.
Despite some minor issues, the Shot Scope X5 offers excellent value for money. It serves as an everyday sports watch and comes in seven different colors. Due to its versatility and performance, it is a worthy choice for our 2023 Editor’s Choice selection.
