Sometimes mine jumps to a different hole, sometimes several holes away. It is accurate, however, from anyplace on the course.

Mine has been on the wrong hole before but not often, especially if they were close together, I don't think it was because of a sleeve. I just put where it needs to be. I am very happy with my S3.

The screen is very sensitive, the only way , in my experience, to stop it is to keep the sleeves out of the way. Sorry, but it's the best I've got.

I have had mine pop off only once or twice. Garmin did send out an email to receive a free bad that basically covers the clasp and once I put that on it never came off again. So without the clasp it might come off, but not very often and with it, hasn't come off again.

There are different sizes of garmins. Best I can tell you is I have a Galaxy3 in a otterbox defender case and it fits just fine with a little room to spare.

I think you have to charge each time you use for golf. But I have never thought that I had a problem with it holding a charge. I also have some other friends who use the Garmin and they do the same thing. Charge it before each time you use it for a golf game and it works great.

When you are at, or near, the course you wish to play, chose "play golf" using the bottom left button. After it links to GPS satellite, it will list all of the available courses in that area. I live in Montana and so far, it has had every course even small obscure ones that I thought might not be in it. Make sure you use the usb cable and an internet connected computer to update the watch as soon as you get it. It did take about a 3/4 hour to update it initially after I got it, but worked as advertised after I did this. Great tool to help improve and enhance your golf game.

I had the exact same problem as James. 13 months to the day after I bought the watch the band broke, literally just fell off my arm. Due to an odd design the band cannot be replaced. The entire watch housing has to be replaced which costs about $100 and takes who knows how long. I replaced this watch with a Garmin. I''ve put thousands of running and cycling miles on it and I love it.

Yes, this happened to me. I went to a small executive golf course in SE NH. I guess that some small out the way courses are not included in the 30,000 plus ones on the watch. I think you can add/update the watch by going online

I purchased this for my wife about a year ago after each of us going thru 3 Garmins because they wouldn't take a charge. Not a single issue yet. I also switched out to a Timex (different model) and no issues with charging or corroding on that one either, and it is in year 2 of use. IMHO, they all use the same chipset and software for the GPS, so go with the company that has been making watches for the longest time.

There is a clip on the back of the Golf Buddy. It slides through the openings on the band. Be patient. It won't break.

Sounds like it may be an antenna problem. If it is mounted in side some where you may need an external antenna but I'm no expert. I have asked question on the Garmin site and they have been very helpful.

There is no way to do that on the watch - once you transfer to Garmin Connect, you could see it.

I have read that it is now compatible with with Garmin Connect app if you have the latest Fenix firmware. But I don't have the watch so can't confirm.

Unfortunately it looses signal if there is a tree canopy overhead, and we are not even talking about a thick canopy. On trails surrounded by trees it performs much worse than the Suunto Ambit, or even the Forerunner 610. This is my main issue with this product and the reason i downgraded it to 2 starts (I love the features and especially the Running Dynamics, but a GPS that uses signal is not very helpful...).

I have mine mounted on my bike and the Garmin simply slides off the mount very easily--effortlessly. Perhaps you have something installed backwards.

what is the question? I used the Swami for 2 seasons; it stopped holding a charge. I now use the Golf Logix app for my "Iphone". It works great, it's free with advertising popping up or for a payment of $19.95 the ads are eliminated. I use it only for distances; but it will track anything you could possibly want.

I pause it every time i stop and then hit resume. It will then keep your lap times and count accurate. One thing I've noticed is that you need a good kick on every turn to make sure it registers. I dont even do a flip turn every time but as long as I push and glide a little, it counts. Other than that, this watch is awesome.
