Iam wondering how compatable is this watch/gps with apple computer. I worked trying to down load a sky caddy gps with no luck, sent it back.

The watch is preloaded with many courses. I have only used the watch/GPS for 2 months. To date I have not had a reason to download any more courses (the watch has had all of the courses I have played).

I sent that watch back and decided to use an iPhone golf app instead. Sorry I can't help you.

So far, I haven't used my computer to do anything except to recharge the WR67 battery with a USB port. I've played 6 courses, and all were pre-loaded.

This watch will not work properly, with all the functions you want such as text messages with any iPhone. I think Apple is not allowing a true app for this watch to work completely on the iOS system since they are unleashing the Apple Watch in two days.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

I've only used the PC to keep archives of my runs. Otherwise the watch can function pretty independently from a PC. I do not think it works with a MAC....at least nto yet

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

Thanks N. Search YouTube for "Wonderland Garmin 405" that is what really peaked my interest.Ok, I was able to find the watch at City Sports. I love it and it finds satellites in about 30 seconds or so.I connected it via Garmin Connect fairly easily (using my Dell D620 Laptop and Windows XP), but I can't find how I can export the GPX files anywhere?

Sorry not sure if you meant your unit is not recognized by your watch or?? . I have a Garmin 310XT and it recognized it right away.

Big time thanks!!!!! TTS worked. I changed voice to Brittish English and didn't chose the TTS. It was my mistake. I will have to contack Garmin about the error message. Thanks again!!!!!!

I apologize if this is an ***obvious*** point, but I have found that there is dramatically better performance in finding satellites if you turn on your watch and leave it on the ground/on a rock/on a post that is in relatively clear view of the sky while you stretch or get ready to run/ride. Rather than turn on the watch and put it on, I suggest to all users to try this simple trick. You will have a much better experience using the watch (mine is a 305).

I don't know. What I can tell you is it takes forever to get the GPS (over 5 min ) I use the watch less and less.

Yes, there are no problems using that Garmin model with the Mac OS. No problems with the functionality of registration , updating software, etc. We are running 10.9.3 on a 3.5 GHz Intel iMac

I have used the SkyCaddie GPS golf Watch in the U.S.(Texas) and in Mexico. It worked very well in both countries. Even in a remote golf course in Mexico and I was able to obtain the GPS signal. If you do not receive the GPS signal, there is a problem wiith your watch.

Yes it will work, however I recommend.not to buy it.I sent I back to the seller. Too short of battery life. Within 5 hours, the battery was almost dead.No enough apps. I recommend waiting for apple watch or even samsung which will be compatible soon.

Hi Laurie-I have a Garmin 405cx watch and it works great. You pair it in the same manner as you would pair a foot pod or heart rate monitor.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I never got it working. After an hour on the phone with Garmin they recommended that I return it, which I did. I went back to Polar.

Hi, the tracker has a proprietary charging hood that connects via USB which works fine with my MacBook Pro (this also charges the watch). I can also sync the Basis iOS app on my iPhone using Bluetooth, although it may sometimes drop out, it is usually fine after a few attempts. The connection is not always 100%, but it a little patience goes a long way. :)

Tom and Aaron are correct. Great unit that comes as a complete kit and works very well with any iOS device or a PC. I get about 1 meter accuracy with it compared to the 65 meter accuracy I get with the built in iPad GPS.
