Very cheap to the feel. Field of view very small compared to Bushnell. You have to rerange each distance to get front middle back readings for the watch to pick it up would have thought once flag is acquired the watch would be able to calculate flag from there. Will try a few more rounds to wotk out bugs. But so far would rather use my bushnell.
This is a really useful tool. I had a rangefinder that did almost everything the Z30 does, including plays-like distance (really important to me since my home course has about 1000 feet of elevation change). But the Z30 is even better because you can shoot the pin once on a hole and it will send the right distance (and plays-like distance) to my watch wherever I go the rest of the hole without reshooting it. It also places the flag correctly located on the green so my watch can show me that. This saves a lot of time and effort of continuing to shoot the distance for every shot. Great tool!
Aligns perfectly with a Garmin S70! Exact distance to the inch! Has a stabilization factor to it.(my hands shake) locks on quickly and easily. If you’ve got a newer Garmin watch- this is the rangefiyou want.
I replaced my Z30 this week. It is very accurate and helpful with my golf game. I enjoy the added benefit of connecting to my Garmin watch to provide information on my wrist. I look forward to improvements in the Golf app software to improve accuracy in capturing strokes and also in added analytical capabilities.
Great rangefinder with new options. You can change the brightness level in the device, and it syncs up quickly with my Garmin S44 watch. Only thing I would comment on is sometimes the GPS maps don’t align with the course by a couple yards. So you will shoot a front pin, but the rangefinder will show that the pin is at the front edge of the green when it’s actually a couple steps into the green. Maybe some minor gps calibration on the map side will help.
