Works Great So Far

Have used the R10 exclusively indoors so I haven't really had a chance to compare its performance with an outside driving range session. It does appear to be more accurate using the Awesome Golf App vs the Garmin Golf app. I get more consistent results with fewer times that the app didn't record any data. But again, I haven't used it on the range to judge accuracy.

I've owned three launch monitors to date, and the Garmin R10 provides the most parameters for the money. It's reliable and easy to use and worth every penny. Battery life is long enough for three sessions at the range, and the device provides useful and accurate data. A+ rating.

I bought it about a month ago and it was exactly what I hoped that it would be. Plug and play with the right amount of game improving software and fun games.

Bought this for my son to use and it seems to be very inconsistent when it comes to the accuracy of the yardage being recorded. Using it on measured Driving range it can be off as much as 20 yards or more. Have done all the tricks, re-calibrated, ensured distance from device to teeoff spot is accurate, checked for software/firmware updates etc. Just doesn't seem to be all that accurate.

I love having the ability to play virtual in the winter time that is a huge plus. My unit seems to miss pretty often below 60 yards or so as well as when driving. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but the missing of shots (not just accuracy but not reading at all) leaves more to be desired. Great value

I bought this a month ago and have mixed reviews. The garmin app it comes with does not give accurate readings. I would flush a 6 iron and it would say it went as far as my 8 iron, sometimes shorter. There are other apps with simulator software like awesome golf that work very well, but require an expensive subscription. Doesn’t make sense why the garmin app can’t be as accurate as the other ones.
