Phenomenal golf shot tracking and distance info
on February 6, 2024
Posted by: WeekendGolf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this series 5 pro golf watch so I could focus on playing golf and spend less trying to figure out everything else. This watch captures each stroke and position on the course it was taken. This is super helpful when having to play"ready" golf. I can loose track sometimes.
The important thing is to get the watch set up before starting your round which means getting there a few minutes earlier, that's hard enough. Highly recommend this watch especially for people who love playing golf but find it challenging to figure out distances as quickly as people you're playing with. The app on the watch pairs well with the app on the phone which are two completely different things in the way they function. The sad part now is there's a Series 6 which is probably nicer, but I don't really need more.
Watch also looks great for everyday wear and does everything the other versions of this Samsung watch can do!

Overall, I'm very pleased with the watch. I've had it about 5 weeks and I traded in a watch 4. Originally going to get the classic 6. However, reviews were not happy with the battery life, so I looked at the Pro 5 golf edition. The battery is huge and I love it. When I have gone golfing, I would have to switch out my watch 4 for a Garmin golf gps watch. It was showing it's age in the battery so when I saw the pro 5 golf edition, I thought it would be perfect. I am very pleased with the battery life. If I play a round of golf, the battery lasts about 3 days. Without golf, I can go 4 days between charging. A round of golf consumes about 25% of the battery. The software for golf takes some getting used to and it can be glitchy. For instance, it doesn't always register a shot. One par 5 I played, the first 3 shots didn't register. You also, at the turn, have to be vigilant that the watch is recording the inward 9. The app on the phone is really good. It shows an overhead shot of the hole and then where each of your shots landed. Once I get fully used to the watch golf app, I'll really like it.
All other functions of the watch are in line with the previous watch.
Overall, I highly recommend the watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Watch is great, Smart Caddie is unusable.
on January 15, 2023
Posted by: HerbMose
This review covers the Golf Edition.
The watch is very good at several things (phone integration, pulse ox, ECG, etc.) but has some unimportant and some important limitations.
Unimportant:
There's no way to suppress the leading zero in digital watch faces: "6:00pm" instead of "06:00pm";
It doesn't always locate the GPS signal before starting an outdoor activity (although the countdown might lead you to think it does);
Important:
The Smart Caddie app doesn't seem to be able to accommodate tee boxes with more than one position - longer or shorter for people of different abilities.
It should be able to sense where the ball is hit without the golfer marking the position on the watch.
But what makes it unusable is the inability to distinguish between several courses at the same location. Many clubs have more than one golf course at the same location. It seems to start out on one course and switch to another during the round. This makes it unusable, for me at least.

Golf app doesn't work - watch is great

Absolutely LOVE the watch. However, do not buy the golf edition. Paid for the golf edition and not only does the app not work, the app company Samsumg partnered with does not respond to emails to tech support. I am so frustrated.
