So far so good!
on August 22, 2024
Posted by: Debra P
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.

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.

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.

Sweet features
on July 10, 2024
Posted by: Golf dude
When I first bought this couple years back I loved all the features and was pretty awesome as I am a golf nut gadget guy. The only thing I would like to change is that if it goes to sleep it takes awhile to wake up and get a reading. Would be nice to have a simple mode for point and shoot without reloading if you want a quick read. And seriously that is the only negative about this as it’s really cool otherwise. If you’re a gadget guy it’s a must have as golf gamin and tracking shots and the hazards is awesome and worth the money. But I would also recommend a cheap point and shoot one if you play in a hurry or a golf watch I also have the s70 which rocks Garmin rules.

Amazing product!

Very easy to lock onto pins to get accurate distancing. I LOVE the distances to hazards (front and back) - that has changed the way I play! Only thing that is taking a little getting used to is the focusing of the eyepiece. It can be a little finicky with the position of your eye. If you are not looking dead center into the lens, image can be hazy.
