Bought one from Golf Buddy. Took it to 3 different golf courses. Searches and searches for a signal. Over an hour, nothing. Finally sent it in to GB for repair. Cost me $14.35 for shipping and insurance. They had it a month but finally got it back. Excitely took it to my regular course then 2 others. NOTHING....same crap. The return receipt said nothing as to what was wrong or what they did to fix it. I sent an email asking what they did and also told them it was still not picking up a signal. No reply. So in my opinion do not waste any money on Golf Buddy GPS watches or any other insturment they make. JUNK and zero customer service!
I have a Garmin. Friends have Garmins. I recommend Garmin to anyone that asks. None of us have had to contact Garmin about our hand held gps or watches. They are all reading the same yardage, side by side, on the courses we play.

You're right. Previous watch was a Garmin and it was great. But was getting old and not charging well but it served me a long time.. Thought I'd try a Golf Buddy....big mistake.
I have both a Garmin GPS and a laser range finder.
Still can't hit the ball worth a sh*t.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Haha.
I have the Garmin watch and really like it. I'm a 9 index and almost never go for the pin, except when my ego takes over, so a measurement to the middle of the green is all I need.
