SkyCaddie LX5, GPS Golf Watch with Touchscreen Display and HD Color CourseView Maps, Black, Small

I've used Skycaddie GPS units for over twenty years...my wife bought me a competitor's GPS a few years ago..used it for few weeks and went back to my Skycaddie.. Last year I bought the SX 500 an outstanding GPS, however a few months ago someone stole it off my pull cart while I was in the pro shop, I immediately contacted Skycaddie and had it turned off.. I debated on getting the LX5, told myself it would be to small, wouldn't be able to read the information, would be difficult to swing with a watch on my wrist and on and on.. I was absolutely wrong, this thing is so accurate, very easy to read, no issues with the size on my swing...I love it...I dire anyone to steal this off my wrist.. I've read a few question the cost, it's part of your game, do you play with a $100.00 driver or wear crap shoes..No you don't.. Buy the damm thing and enjoy, you'll thank me...

Ordered this watch on 27 May, have used it once and was looking forward to using it today for a Father's Day round of golf. I turned it on and it started flashing the logo screen, now it will not stop flashing and I cannot even turn it off. I contacted SkyGolf support through chat and the assistance left quite a bit to be desired. The suggestion he gave me was to hold the top right button for 6-10 seconds to allow the device to reset. This did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue, the watch is still flashing right now. So far this watch is a complete piece of crap. UPDATE 24 Jun 22: Contacted SkyGolf customer service to try and get device replaced. Do yourself a favor and just call them, the chat help is no help at all. The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and since it was a failure within the first 30 days they sent out a replacement which I received today. Will update after a few rounds, if it lasts that long.

Very good golf gps watch, not perfect as a smartwatch. The Lx5 has a bright easy to read face and offers many great golf hole and course information. It's like owning one of skycaddie handheld golf devices but on your wrist. Easy to use and manipulate screens. It paired with the skycaddie 360 app easily. For just golf it may be the most accurate and best one on the market. It counts steps and gives you your average heart rate on a separate screen. It's at this point the Lx5 falls short of being a true smart/fitness watch. Does not offer phone notifications, predefined workouts or most other features offered by garmin or golfbuddy. If your interested in a golf watch that is accurate, easy to use and offers skycaddie accuracy and detail, this one is one you should look at seriously. If you're wanting a golf gps with true smartwatch you may want to look elsewhere. With this in mind I would definitely recommend the Lx5. At $300.00 it's a bit pricey but does come with a prepaid 3 year skycaddie membership. As for build and durability, only time will tell. The case is plastic, the crystal is plastic and the interhangeable band is silicone or rubber. As for battery usage, you can expect to get two full rounds from a full charge.

Works great. High visibility even in the sun. Seems very accurate as well. Sync to their app is very quick especially on Wi-fi. Also looks good if worn as a regular watch if not golfing. Only con to me is being called a "smart watch" , it does not read texts, emails notifications etc...from your phone. Hopefully Skycaddie can do an update to include that

The graphics are beautiful, but using the watch can be complicated and I found it to be slow. I arrived at the course parking lot and turned the power on. Paid my green fees changed my shoes and the watch was sill searching for the course.Went to the practice putting and after about 15 minutes the watch return an error that could not find course. I had to try two more time to find the course. It finally found the course and then 10 minutes late gave me an error message and I had to do the search again. It must have taken 30+ minutes to finally fire the watch up and start playing. During play it worked OK, but changing the hole (not sure how I got off the correct hole), trying to tell time, etc. was no fun. I returned it for a simpler yardage watch with no fancy graphics or other options.

I got this watch for my wife since she is always asking me for yardages. She actually went online and found it. I have to tell that you that I was a little skeptical on buying this watch since I thought that for such a low price it wouldn't work as well as my watch that is double the price. I have to tell you, we went out last week and both had our watches on. Our yardages were very similar and hers gave us so much more information that mine, like how far our shot was to the water and how deep the greens were. I am very impressed with how this watch works and how clear it is to read. I can't tell you too much about battery life since we have played one round but this watch is definitely an excellent watch to get for the average player.

Great GPS golf watch. Not looking to have smartwatch features, just golf, on the wrist? Get this. pulls courses around AZ with zero issues. Big display, brightly colored and easy to use. Loaned it out and buddy was ordering the same day. Legit piece of hardware for average to more serious golfers.

I used the watch for a year and a half just fine (since April 2024). I really don't use the bells and whistles, just the distance from the hole when I can't see the flag for my rangefinder. Yesterday the phone would not connect to a satellite for the GPS, so no course data would load. Today customer service says they discovered a software problem (never said when they discovered it). No time as to when the problem will be fixed. They referred me to their mobile app which has no instructions and which is NOT intuitive. I am not happy. I will update my Review if/when they solve the problem.
