Golf Monthly Verdict

You can expect outstanding accuracy from this watch, with all yardages during testing proving to be spot on. The watch is robust and offers very clear and easy-to-understand information. There are a lot of buttons on the watch but after a quick read of the instructions followed by a few holes on the course it isn’t too difficult to operate. It sits in the mid-price range for a GPS watch, and you get accurate information that can be trusted out on any course. The green view helps bring the product to life.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    As you’d expect, all SkyCaddie products offer outstanding accuracy. The data provided is very clear and quick to update. If you want added extras on a watch you will find plenty here when you pay the annual subscription fees to get the most out of it. Score collection that syncs with SkyCaddie stat analysis (iPhone and Android) will give you plenty of extra information.

Reasons to avoid
  • -

    It’s clear, and justified, why the subscription system is in place in the top-end SkyCaddie models, but it’s unlikely those investing in a watch will want to pay annual fees for the added information.
