how to use swami golf watch

First- make sure you update software by hooking it to an internet connected computer. The first time I did this it did take a while to update it (about an hour). Then just follow the user guide. When you first get to the course, (parking lot is when I turn the watch to the golf function by holding down the left bottom button). After it finds all nearby courses, select the one you are at. It will automatically start at hole one. It will give you distance to center, front and back of green. As you progress through your shots, and as you get closer to the green it will give you your yardage, After you reach the green, it will automatically advance to the next hole. This is the main function I use as I keep my score on a scorecard. It will give you options for driving distance and also will keep an individual score. I found more detailed instuctions, other than what came with the watch, on the Izzo golf website. This is a great tool, and once you figure out the ins and outs of using it, it will enhance your play. I have forgotten to bring it on a couple of rounds (left it on charger) and I really missed it those times I played. (One charge will generally get you through two 4 hour rounds of golf while in GPS mode). Good luck!

I did not have to update the watch, it was ready when I received it. Turn on top left button(hold it until it comes on), it will give the time in a short while. Hold left bottom until play golf shows up, hit button again shortly, it will locate the satellite(takes awhile). It will show ready, hit button again and it will bring up your course, hit again and it will bring up #l. Change holes by moving the right buttons up or down.

Make sure the Watch is oriented correctly when placing onto the charger. I had the same problem at first before realizing I had the Watch upside down when trying to "clamp" the charger over it. Even so, as others have mentioned, the charger does require a bit of "force" to shut it properly. Once done correctly, the display will clearly indicate it's charging (btw - I just got the new Swami Watch. The charging process is MUCH easier on the new one. Doesn't involve this "clamping" process and requires no force whatsoever. IZZO must have been listening).

There is an instruction sheet with the watch. We returned the 1st on because it did not work properly. They replaced it and sent another. The 2nd one did not last very so we went another route. I was not worth the hazzle to have them replace again.

You need to put your index fingertip of the opposite hand in the metal around the watch. You hold it there for maybe 1 to 2 seconds and it gives you a reading. The metal has a sensor to read the heart beats.

You do not need to download maps or golfcourses. Just register your watch on line.

The watch is preloaded with almost every course in the US. I don't think you should have to upload courses. I only had one course I had to update because they redid the layout of the back nine. I went to Igolf and I got an error message but played with the connection and got it to work.

First, turn it on using the furthest button to the left. When the "Play Golf/Options" captions come up, hit the "OK/Shot button (second from right). The unit will then start to acquire a satellite, and should bring you up a list of nearby courses. Use the arrow buttons (the up and down buttons in the middle) to move the cursor to the course you want to select, then hit the OK/Shot button again. It should bring you to the course. Use the arrow buttons to move up/down to the hole you need.

Roy,Since I live and play in Pennsylvania I would not b able to answer that question. I would suggest that you call IZZO and speak with a man names Matt there he is very helpful and will definitely be able to answer your question. Just as a side note I am very pleased with the watch and its overall function and capabilities with the yardage while on the courses here that I play.Look on the web for IZZO and call the 800 number there. IFfyou get someone other than Matt I would suggest that you speak directly with him.Hope this helps.

It is my husbands Swami and he thinks you can keep score but isn't sure as he keeps score on gold scorning cards. He likes for distance and it is accurate.

This charger has a 4 pin clamp that makes a good positive contact to the watch. The charge is good for one round of golf. The watch band which can be replaced if it ever fails is also a nice feature.

The watch will sense what stroke you are using. It recommends that you do not change strokes during the lap. You can change at the end of the lap. It will detect regular patterns that conform to FrontCrawl, BreastStroke, BackStroke or Butterfly strokes. It does not tell you which stroke you are using, though.
