Have the Z30 and the S62 watch - there was talk of a delay in comunication bewteen the two but I haven't expericned that at all. It's fast, provides the pin location on the watch and the accuracy between the 2 is spot on. It also locates the pin fast and delivers a solid vibration. I'm going to also pair up the CT10 club sensors and considering the RS50 Launch monitor as they are all connected and will dial in club yardages. In short the connectivity and data provided is amazing
I have a Premium Garmin watch and the Garmin Golf app. Synched to both; however, the rangefinder does not connect to the watch, and is constantly disconnecting to Bluetooth. Also if your not n using the app the rangefinder doesn't work. I own the z82 rangefinder and experience the same issues with synching to the app. Great concept if it worked. Will continue to just use my Garmin golf watch. I am very te h savy so not a user error.

Thank you for your review and experience with the Approach Z30. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
I'm on unit number 3, as first two just stopped working. Hit button, and LEDs light up but no distance measurement. They report having made a change in manufacturing so I'm hopeful 3 is a charm. I also don't have much success integrating with my EPIX gen 2, where I shoot and green comes up with front back pin distances... when I shoot partners location and then drive up to my ball :-) it should show same info but does not...worked at first, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

Got this two weeks ago used it first time.. did have some issues with connecting to my garmin s70 watch. Never could warch and Range finder to sync up. Does a great job hitting the flag and using slope. I bought to have synced with my watch.. why I gave it 4 stars.
The Z30 works wonderfully with my S70 watch; however, there is room for improvement in the flag lock feature. I often find myself second-guessing the distance and end up taking multiple shots with this rangefinder.
I've played 5 rounds (so far) with this rangefinder and find it to be extremely accurate. The optics are very bright and clear. It's great to know the distance to the flag as well as the front and back of the green.
I've now played with it 4 times. First 2 times: flawless and awesome. Absolutely incredible! Next 2 times: multiple times I couldn't get it to give me yardage and a handful of times when it did, it didn't sync up the flag distance with the app/watch. Also, I left it once in the middle of the previous fairway - and couldn't get it to tell me where it was!
