Garmin G6 - first impressions

[skywaterbanjo]

I have just finished my second round with the Garmin G6 after using a Skycaddie SGX for 4 years (since they first came out).  My first impressions:

- the screen is smaller and a bit harder to read

- I like the touch screen a lot

- It is easier to find intermediate distances using the touch screen vs. the joystick

- It is smaller (good and bad)

- The scorecard feature is much weaker than the SGX, especially for tracking and downloading stats.  Skycaddie has done a great job of adapting Oobgolf to its website for stat tracking and analysis

- I like not having a subscription

- Accuracy seems to be comparable between the two units.

I'll probably end up selling the SGX.  Just received it back from the factory refurbished.

Thanks for the review. I thought about Getting one but since I have an iPhone i just paid the 9.99 for golflogix and see how that goes. So far it looks like I gonna get a garmin s1 approach and call it a day. Use the iPhone off tne tee then just look at my watch for approach shots. If I need the app I still have it
