Great features but not so accurate finding flags

I am on my 3rd Z30, first one had issues finding the flag, second one I lost but was better, Third one I exchange because it was faulty but replacement also has issues finding the flags that are far away 180+ yards
Love, love, love this paired with my S70 watch. I zap the pin one time. I do it from anywhere when I have a free moment. From that time on, no need to pull out the range finder. All distances show up on the watch…no matter where I go. The accuracy, and viewfinder seem to be a commodity now among rangefinders. This z30 finds the pin and locks on quickly. The magic happens when you also have the watch. Do both or I’m not sure it’s worth the money. Do both and you’ll love it too
I really appreciate the technology with the garmin devices, they interact seamlessly which makes it easy to use and fun to use on the course. If you have the watch shoot the flag once and you're set!! It makes my playing partners mad I have all of this information at a glance of the watch : )
I purchased Z30 to pair with my Approach S50 watch. The pairing feature was extremely simple. Quick target acquisition, clear screen with bright red numbers. Shows you adjusted distance is enabled with front and back numbers at the same time. When paired with watch you know exactly where the pin is located on the green. Buy it!!!
Very user friendly range finder. Easy to read display in monocular. I get a lock on the flag pole almost 100% of the time. With owning the S70, the virtual caddie is elevated with arc distance and club recommendation. Magnet is very useful when riding in cart. Although I haven’t used the connection to “find”the Z30… but I could see how useful it would be to locate your “last known” location of device. Overall satisfied with product.
