Optics were not as good as expected. Takes a while to hit the flag. Gives a ton of information but takes a while to get everything. Can slow down the round if you are using all of the information. Also had problems with it disconnecting from my phone through the round. Feel like for how much it is the speed and quality of the optics would be better.

Bad screen quality

Great GPS tech. Extremely poor screen quality. Display is grainy, blurry and jitters even after adjusting for my eyesight.

So far so good!
on August 22, 2024

I have used this for three different courses that I had never played before and so far, so good! I love the 2D GPS image of the hole, distance to the 200, 150, and 100 yard markets, and location and distances to hazards. Very, very helpful when playing new courses. The only slight issue I've had is sometimes I must hit a wrong button and I seem to get stuck in a menu option without being able to return to my round. I just have to let it go to sleep and then wake it up later. It might be due to my newness, but that's the only negative. I do wish they would have a print-out of menu functions...might make it easier to learn. All in all, great product and I'm glad I bought it.

Great product,

I have owned the Z82 for a month now, it works fantastic. Accurate and always ready. My only knock is that it won’t pair to my S70 Garmin watch. That causes me to start a round on both devices. Other than that it works great.

disappointed

This is a top-of-the-line Garmin, but it does not have the one feature that the Z30 has. Even though this would just be a software update. 5 stars plus if the watch updates the pin like the Z30

Exactly what I was looking for

The combo of a laser to check pin distances and GPS to see where that is relative to front/middle/back of the green is the holy grail of approach decision making. This unit does exactly what I expected it to which is perfect.

Been lifelong garmin supporter and first time having issues with one of their products. But this thing is a piece of trash. Lag is way too slow and scope is awful compared to any other average rangefinder I've used. I liked having some of the features and keeping score on it to save in app but ended up using my old rangefinder more on course as couldn't stand having to wait for it to load each time using it. Save your money.
