![]() ![]() I have noticed also that on several occasions the unit will go blank when attempting to determine the distance to a known hazard. That is very frustrating when trying to get everything ready to tee off. Secondly, this unit takes anywhere from ten to twenty minutes to lock onto a satellite. The slightest wiggle of the cord with make the charger disconnect and break contact. First off, trying to align the charger with the poles on the unit is more of an art than a science. Almost immediately I noticed a couple of things that were not only different but frustrating, to say the least, and after using the unit for several times I have managed to work around them but am still not comfortable with the changes from my first one. I purchased the new version of the ESPY because my old one kept losing power, started to have accuracy problems, and the wrist band was getting ragged. So far the watch has done well and I would buy it again. I am very happy with the quick service and hope the new band lasts a little longer. A quick call to the manufacturer IZZO, and the lady sent me a replacement band in less than a week, no cost. The watch does what I asked for a reasonable price so I can readily recommend it.Īddendum: 8/24/17 After about 10 months the watch band broke.actually the buckle fell off. Overall, I am happy with the watch and the price and not having to manage it. I have not used the scorekeeper and probably won't. ![]() This is pilot error but I do not know what I am doing wrong so I can't correct it. I can get it started but as soon as I go back to another screen, it seems to revert to zero. The reason for the 4 stars is that I have not figured out how to get the odometer to work. Additionally, it has an odometer and scorekeeper as well as shot distance. It has the pin distance from the fairway with front/back/middle, the distances to hazards, front and back which I really like so I can determine if I should lay up or try to go over it, and dogleg distances. So far I have played 3 rounds of 9 holes each and it fits my criteria. I looked at the Garmin S20, S40 and the Callaway GPSy for about $150 on Amazon and settled on it as the easiest to use. My final criteria was reading the manuals to insure the watch would be simple to operate without a steep learning curve. I started my search all over again with new criteria AND the realization I did not want to spend time managing the golf watch and all the modes and statistics.that was another job I did not want. That was all a person of my skill level really wanted, just the basics and at less cost than the Garmins. But it got me thinking, what is it I really want the watch to do? I decided not to spend a lot of money on the bells and whistles of the Garmin and others, but to find a watch that told me the distances to the pin and the hazards. Then I played golf with a friend who had a slim, fit bit type watch tied to his smartphone app, but he had to be within a certain distance for it to work. The reviews mentioned pressing so many buttons to get what you needed and that concerned me. After research, I settled on the Garmin S2, S5, or S6 but they were pricey so I delayed. Based on the Garmin S2 a friend had, I decided to get a golf watch. ![]()
