Great features but small

It does what you expect. Yardages are accurate, little bit of learning curve on how to read hazards. It is fragile and easy to scratch up. Would recommend buying the silicone sleeve and screen protector, else it scratches up in your pocket. Wish it had a magnet so it could stick to cart.

Really good, but...

Love the compact size and long battery life. However, don't understand why it doesn't have a continuous display of power capacity. As a result, it occasionally shuts down mid round.

I love it for its simplicity, but after using it I would upgrade to s70 if the price was rolight. If you’re looking for a quick range finder without the hassles of a scope. I’d say this would be an excellent choice

Easy to use

Really like the Garmin
It’s new enough I still half to remind myself to set it up prior to teeing off, but that is easy to do.
I do wish it had slope adjustment like my optical range finder. But it is much easier than the optical.

Not Practical

I used the item twice and found that if the unit were bigger in circumference and had a magnet to attach to the golf cart, it would be more appealing.

Accurate. Much faster than regular rangefinder.

Easy to use. Only time I use a range finder is when there is a group in the fairway

Disappointed

It doesn't show the Red and Gold tees on my home course. The yardage is wrong (comparing to the yardage on my husband's and my garmin watches golf app) and it switched to the next hole before I was finished with the current hole. For the price, I expected it to be better.
