Well got this yesterday and tried it out down the range, worked straight out the box with the battery that was provided, locks onto the pin very quickly, usually within 3 seconds,...i found scanning across the pin back and forth to be the quickest/most accuracte way

 

build quality is what i expected for a brand new £115 unit,...nothing like the bushnells ive used, but it does what it says on the tin, small, light, hardy

 

ratings

Cost: 10/10

Build Quality: 6/10

Functionality: 8/10

Aesthetics: 8/10

Accuracy: 9/10

Overall: 8/10

 

if the build quality and aesthetics where better this device could easily keep up with models three times it price, but for what you pay its a damn good bit of kit

Nice, I am considering getting a GPS, but I am not really sure on how often I would use it

i found myself using the gps app on my phone all the time, knowing my exact yardage has really helped my game, the only issues i had with it where

 

1) sometiems dodgy satellite signal

2) phone battery life

3) having to download courses

4) sun glare on the screen

 

witht he rangefinder i shouldnt have any of the above issues,
