Shot Scope V5 Tutorial: Navigation and Settings Explained

Table of Contents
In this tutorial, I'll explain what every setting found on the Shot Scope V5 golf watch does, and demonstrate how to use the watch both on and off of the golf course. Whether you're new to the V5 or an experienced user, this tutorial will give you full confidence to use your V5 to its full potential both on and off the golf course.

About this shot scope V5 tutorial

This video tutorial will demonstrate how to use the Shot Scope V5 GPS and shot-tracking golf watch. We’ll look at each individual setting for both general watch and golf modes, and I’ll provide my recommendations for the most effective default settings based on my experience using the V5. As well as covering the settings, I’ll also initiate a round of golf on the device and explain how to access and use all of the features found in golf mode.

By the end of the video, you’ll understand what each setting does and have the confidence to use the V5 as both a day-to-day and golf watch.

In this short Shot Scope V5 tutorial, I’m going to take you through all of the key settings that you need to know about if you are using the Shot Scope V5. Now this watch can be used both on and off of the golf course, and I’m going to cover all of the settings that you’ll find on this watch.

We’ll start with the general navigation, then we’ll jump to the key settings you want to know about if you’re using it as an everyday watch. Then I’ll talk through some of the main settings I like to set up before I go to play golf, and then we’ll initiate a round using the GPS and track option found within the watch.

Then what we’ll do is we’ll take a look at all of the settings that you want to make sure you know how to use out on the golf course. Now I’ve timestamped this video; I’ll put those timestamps in the description below so if you want to jump to any specific point then you can use those markers, or you can just sit back and enjoy this whole tutorial.

I’ll be happy to get back to you in the comments area.

General Watch Navigation and Settings

Switching On and Navigation

First of all, let’s talk about the navigation for the Shot Scope V5. Now the watch itself is not a touchscreen device, so it is controlled using these four buttons located on the outside of the watch. To turn the Shot Scope V5 on, all you need to do is press the Select button at the top right, and the device will power up.

You’ll notice there’s also a Back button at the bottom right, a Down button bottom left, and an Up button at the top left. So these are basically the main four buttons you’ll use to navigate this watch.

Enable/Disable Auto-Lock (General Watch)

Now the first thing I want to look at is how to turn off this auto-lock. You’ll see in the bottom left here there is the lock symbol. This means when this watch is used in everyday mode, like it is just now, I need to press that button to unlock it. You’ll see if I try to press the Select button or the Back buttons it does not allow me to access the menus.

You will notice, however, the Up button can be pressed and that allows you to see if you’ve got a Bluetooth connection to the app, if you have taken any steps today using the step counter, and what percentage of battery you have left.

But what I find is to unlock this watch, if you press the bottom left button (Down) it takes you into the unlocked mode, and then you can use the top right button (Select) to visit the main menu. Personally, I prefer to turn the lock off on this device, especially when I’m using as an everyday watch, because it’s not very often I’ll be pressing buttons accidentally and it really doesn’t matter if I do, certainly when I’m not playing golf with the device.

So let’s look at how to turn the lock off. First of all, we’re going to unlock by pressing the bottom left button (Down), then the top right button (Select) to go into this menu. We’re going to press down and we’re going to choose Settings using the Select button. Now I’m going to keep pressing the Down button and I’m going to look for the Lock option. And when we go into Lock, we’re going to choose Lock the Clock Face. Now you’ll notice there’s a clock face and there’s a golf lock. Let’s choose Clock Face and we are going to go down to Disable.

What this means now when we go back to the main screen, the watch will basically no longer have the little lock, so it will not automatically lock after five or so seconds.

View Battery Level and Step Count

What this does mean though is if you want to view your battery life now that you are not locking the watch, then you press the Down button this time and you’ll notice it takes you to this view here. So previously that was the Up button, but when you disable the lock, you use the Down button to view your battery life and your step count.

Change Clock Face

Now you’ll notice here we have this clock face displayed. What I want to do is I want to show you some of the other clock faces that you can choose from. If we press the Select button and then go down to Settings and press Select to go into this menu, you’ll see we have the Clock Face settings.

Now if I press Select here, we can go through using the Up and Down arrows through some of the different clock faces. Now some of them will show an analog time, some of them will show the date, some of them will show an analog time like this, or we’ll have a digital display. And sometimes we can see the date and steps and sometimes we can’t.

Now when you find the display you like, all you need to do is press Select and then go back and you’ve now updated your clock face. So you can change the clock face to suit your preferences when you’re using it as a standard watch.

Change Theme Colour

Another thing you can do is you can also change their theme color. You’ll notice here we have “December” in blue. When we’re using this in golf mode, some of the key data will also be highlighted in that color, so an accent color of blue.

If I want to change that though, all I need to do is go to Select, down to Settings, and I’m going to go up this time to Color. You’ll notice there are five different colors you can choose from. So we use the Up and Down arrows on the left-hand side to cycle through them: we’ve got Blue, Pink, Orange, Green, or Red.

So if I like this orange color, then all I do is press Select, and that will now be the color for this display. So you’ll see here “December” is now accented in the orange color, and that as I said will carry through to golf mode.

Change Time (12/24 Hour Modes)

Now the final setting I want to show you is how to change between 12- or 24-hour time format. You see here we are in 24-hour mode, it’s 14:26. If I press Select and go down to Settings, we’re just going to go up this time and go into Time, and you’ll see here you can change from 24 hours to 12.

This can actually be set up using the app, so when you go through the onboarding process it allows you to choose the time format that you prefer, but you can always change it in the app or on the watch using that method there. So you’ll see we’re now in 12-hour mode.

Golf Mode Default Setup Settings

Okay, so now that we’ve looked at General watch mode settings, let’s take a look at some of the golf settings that you want to make sure you define before you play your round. These are essentially your default settings for golf mode, so every time you go and play it should revert back to these settings here.

I would say this is something you just have to go through the first time you go to use the watch, and then every time you’re playing your round it should remember these settings.

Enable/Disable Auto-Lock (Golf Mode)

The first one I want to look at is how to turn off the lock mode. We’ve just looked at turning off the lock for the general watch mode, but it’s also enabled by default when you’re playing in golf mode.

For the purposes of this tutorial, it’s better for me to disable the lock because it will automatically keep locking every single time I don’t interact with the watch. I prefer on the golf course to also turn the lock off because I don’t generally tend to accidentally press the buttons, but with the lock enabled you have to keep unlocking it every time you want to interact.

So to turn off the golf lock, all we do is press Select, then we go down to Settings, and then from the settings menu we’re going to look for the Lock option. So just like we did before, we’re going to Lock, but this time instead of choosing Clock Face Lock, we’re going to go down to Golf Lock. You’ll see here this one is currently allowing me to enable or disable it. I’m going to choose Disable, and once we’ve confirmed the selection, we now know that when we enter golf mode, we will not have the auto-lock feature active.

Right or Left-Handed Mode

Another setting that is defined when you go through the onboarding process is to choose whether you are a left or right-handed golfer. With the Shot Scope technology, the tags interact with this part of the strap here, the part that doesn’t have the buckle, and this means that you need to make sure you wear the watch on the correct wrist. If you’re a right-handed golfer, it needs to be on your left wrist. If you’re a left-handed golfer, it needs to be on the right wrist. This is one of the mistakes that some golfers make and it leads to the shots not tracking.

Now if you are a right-handed golfer but you’ve accidentally chosen the left-handed setting during the onboarding process, the easiest way to combat that or to correct it is to do so through the settings menu on the watch.

If we go to the Select button and then go down to Settings, I’m going to scroll down and I’m going to look for the Hand L/R option. We want to just make sure that we choose the correct one for us. You’ll see here I am a right-handed golfer so I’m going to choose Right-Handed Golfer, press Select, and then I know as long as I wear this device on my lead wrist, which will be my left wrist, it will track my shots correctly.

Show Club ID

One of the things that you can do to ensure that you have tracked your shot, or at least can confirm you’ve tracked it, is to make sure that the Show Club ID is active. Now in golf mode, once you have played your shot, it should display the tag ID at the top right of the screen, and we’ll see that when we go into golf mode in just a minute.

If you want to make sure that that is visible, then you can ensure you have turned on Show Club ID. You can also turn it off if you don’t want to see this, but personally I prefer to see the club ID just as a way of feedback that I have actually tracked the correct shot.

If we go to the Select menu and then we’re going to go down to Settings, I’m going to scroll down and what we’re looking for here is we’re looking for the club Show Club option. We’re going to go into this one here and it should be on by default, but if for any reason it isn’t, we’ll then choose Enable, and we know when we go into golf mode we will see the club tag ID, and I’ll show you that with a couple of test tags in this video.

Enable/Disable Digital Scorecard

The next option is if you are somebody who wants to have the digital scorecard enabled when you’re playing your round, you can enable it in the settings menu here. If you disable the scorecard option from the settings menu, then when you initiate your round, it will never allow you to record your score using the scorecard or view your score. So if you find when you’re playing you can’t see the scorecard, it’s probably disabled and you’ll need to enable it before you start your round, but you will only have to do this once.

So let’s go to press Select and we’re going to go down to Settings, and then we’re going to look for the Scorecard option. So we’ll keep going down till we find Scoring. Once we go into here, you’ll see you have three options. So the first one is Disable if you don’t want scoring. You can turn it off. Enable means that you can have scoring on, and you’ll notice there’s also Enable and Hide. So that means the score card will work, but you will not see your score to par displayed on the watch. So that’s good if you don’t want to know your score, but you want to at least still have the score card capability.

I’m going to choose Enable though and press Select. But then when I do initiate my round, it will give me the option to turn scoring on or off. But at least this way, because I’ve chosen Enable and not Enable and Hide, I will see my score to par on the display of the watch and I will also be able to make use of the scorecard feature.

Auto/Manual Putting Mode

Now let’s have a look at another setting which is important to define before you play, and that’s the auto or manual putting setting. Now the way that Shot Scope works is it uses these little tags and you screw these into your grips. They go into all of your grips, including your putter. However, if you play with a counterbalanced putter or perhaps a long putter where you anchor it and you can’t have the tag close to the watch, it won’t be able to track your putts.

So what you can do is you can turn on Manual Putting, and this means when you’re on the green you can press a button to drop the location of each putt manually.

Some people suggest online that enabling manual putting is more accurate auto putting, that isn’t actually the truth. It should still detect your auto putts in the same way as it does for manual in terms of GPS location. The manual putting is really just used if you’ve lost your putting tag or you’re not able to have it in a close enough proximity to your watch.

So to enable manual putting, what we do is we go to Select, then we go to Settings, and we’re going to look for the Putting option. So we’ll keep going down and you’ll see Putting is here. Now Auto is the default, but if you need to change to manual, you can change to Manual and press Select. I’m going to leave mine in Auto because I prefer just to automatically track my putts using the standard grip that I have, but that’s how you can turn on manual putting if you want to.

Change Hole Map Background Colour

One other setting I want to show you is how to change your whole map color. I’m just going to quickly jump into the settings here and to the demo, and I’ll go through and I’ll just show you what the whole overview Maps look like. So this is a whole overview map here, and this is a little example of what you can see, and you notice this has a white background.

You can change that white background between White, Black or Green. The way to do that is if you go into the Settings menu and choose Hole Map Color. I’ll just change this example to Black, and then what we’ll do is we’ll jump back into the demo scene as we’re here, and I’ll just quickly show you how it looks.

So we’ve now changed the background to Black, and you’ll see here we now have the black background with the map. So you can change the color that you see around here between black, green, or white, but you can’t change that mid-round, so that’s another one of these settings you’ll need to define before you play, but that will become my default.

Read Tags (Check if tags/strap are working properly)

Now the final thing I want to show you is how you can check if your tags are working correctly or not, and the same for the strap. You don’t want to get to the golf course to find that your tags aren’t working and it can’t track your performance.

So if you want to check them, what you can do is you can go into the Select button and go down to Settings, and there’s a helpful little Read Tag option. So let’s scroll down and find that one, and you’ll see it’s just going to come up here, Tag Read.

So now when I press the Select button, it puts me into this finding tags mode. Now what you have to do here is take one of your Shot Scope tags—in this example I’ve got the Driver tag here—and all I need to do is hover it around the strap here and you’ll see it highlights it as in being found. So this Driver tag has been found.

I’m specifically placing it around this area, I’m not having to touch it, but you’ll notice when I hover over it, this is my 7 iron. So if your tag is worn on the top and you can’t see the lettering here, or if you just want to make sure that the tags are working, then it’s a good idea to use this setting just to make sure that they are still working.

Just remember that with your Shot Scope device, you don’t want to have the tag close to this strap with the buckle, it needs to be the one without the buckle because that’s where the technology is built into. But that’s a handy little tip if you maybe aren’t sure if your tags are working, you can check them using that setting.

Initiating a Round and On-Course Features

Select Golf Mode (GPS+Track/GPS), Course, Tees, and Scoring

Now that we’ve looked at some of the key settings you’ll need to make sure you have set up before you go to the golf course, let’s take a look at how to actually initiate a round when you arrive.

The first thing you’re going to do is press the Select button, and then choose Select again to Play Golf. Now you can either choose GPS and Track (which gives you GPS information and club tracking) or GPS Only. I’m going to choose GPS and Track, which is my usual one, and then press Select.

It will try to locate the connection for GPS to your club. This is based on a $1\text{ km}$ distance, and I’m inside the house right now, so hopefully it’s going to be able to locate the GPS from the house to the golf club, and I’ll be able to show you how to use the watch on the golf course.

You’ll see now we get two options: we get the D-Man Club Small Course and we get D Ferman Golf Club. That’s the main course. So I’m going to select D-Man Golf Club here. This is the main 18-hole course, and I’ll press Select. Then it’s going to ask me from the next screen which tee group we want to use. Do we want to use Yellow, White, or Red? In this case, I’m just going to go for the standard Yellow Tees.

And then because we enabled scoring in the previous part of the video, we can choose whether we want scoring active or not. So I’m going to choose Yes to scoring, and then you’ll see here we get the GPS display for this course.

Overview of Golf Mode Display

I want to make it clear at this moment in time, because of the location to the golf course from our house, we’re actually behind the first green. So the fairway is then behind the green, so some of the GPS distance information and maps may look slightly different how it would be if I was out on the golf course. But I can still take you through all of the key settings that you’ll find on the Shot Scope V5; it’s just that some of the maps and the GPS information may be slightly inaccurate, but it’s always fine on the golf course.

You’ll see here we have the GPS display here. Now let me tell you a little bit more about what we can see on screen:

Hole Numbers: First of all, around the outside of the screen, you’ll see the 18 numbers. Those are basically the indicators for the hole, and it lights up with the color of the theme next to the number. This is Hole number one, as highlighted just here.

Hole/Par Info: You’ll notice it also tells me at the bottom: H1 (Hole One) P4 (Par 4).

Time: You get your time at the very top of the screen so you can always tell what time it is.

Distances: In big writing in the center of the screen, you can see three different numbers here. In the center, in red, this is the center distance to the middle of the green. It’s 320 either yards or meters to that point, and you’ll notice I don’t have the indicator here for the distance, so I don’t know at this moment in time whether that’s meters or yards, but I’m going to show you in this video how to turn on the setting there so you can display the distance measurement on screen. The top number is your distance to the back of the green, and the bottom number is your distance to the front of the green. So Front, Middle, and Back.

Club Tag ID: At the top right here, this will show your club tag. If I take my tag—let’s go for the 7 iron in this example—hover it near the strap, and you notice it displays the club tag ID there as a 7 iron. This we showed earlier in the video where we set up the Show Club Tag ID, and that’s a really important one if you want just that bit of confirmation that the last club you used was correctly tagged.

Score to Par: On the left-hand side of the screen, next to the Up button, you can see ‘E’. That’s your scorecard, and that is your score to par. So because we enabled scoring and we’ve not used the hide option, we can see our cumulative score to par displayed up there.

Hazard Menu: In the bottom left, you’ve got a hazard symbol. That’s how you can get into the hazard menu for your round.

Hazard Menu (Hazards, Hole Overview Maps, Layups, Green Map)

Let’s press the bottom left button (Down) first of all to go into the hazard menu. You’ll see here we can see the information for some bunkers on the hole we’re playing.

Navigating Hazards: You can use the Up button or Down button to move through the bunkers. Basically, the bottom will always display the bunkers that are closest, and then as you press Up, you can get to those that are furthest away. The side of screen that you see the icon on—so these are on the right-hand side—this means that the bunker is on the right-hand side of the fairway or of the green. The hashed line through the bunker that you see there indicates that that is a greenside bunker, and the other bunkers that don’t have the hash through it are fairway bunkers.

Distances: The two numbers that you see (I’m just keeping pressing Up and Down so that it doesn’t go back to the home screen)—the bottom number next to the bunker is to reach the bunker and the top number is to carry it. Now obviously these GPS numbers are slightly out because as I said we’re in the house, that bunker isn’t just going to be $2\text{ yards}$ deep, but we get that information there. If you’re playing a hole which has a water hazard, then you’ll see the water hazard displayed with a water icon instead of the bunker. That’s the hazard menu there for bunkers and for water hazards.

Hole Overview Map: If you press the top right button (Select) when you’re in this menu, it then changes to the map view. The map here isn’t displayed perfectly because as I said I’m in my house, but this number here is to the center of the green. Then you can use the Up and Down buttons to move the marker here. So you can basically, if this was displaying the whole lengthwise, we could go down and use this to find a specific point on the fairway, and then we know how many yards we have to hit to reach that. Let’s say, for example, here there was a water, like a burn, I could move up to about 237, and I would know I’d be able to clear it. You’ll see the background color here is black because we set that earlier in this video.

Layup Information: If we press Select here, we can see layup information for $100\text{ yard}$, $150$, and $200\text{ yard}$, and it will basically tell you to leave yourself $100\text{ yards}$, that’s how far you have to hit it. If we have other information such as $150$ and $200$, they’ll also be displayed in here. On top of that, it will also show you dog leg information if the hole you’re playing has a dog leg.

Green View (Pin Placement): We’ll go back into the Hazard menu just now and let’s press Select and we’ll have a look at what else we get here. The final thing we can see here is your Green View, and you can basically use the Up or Down buttons to move the pin around. You’ll notice if I move up to this point of the green, it goes down to the bottom, and then if we go from the bottom, we can return back to the top. Then all we do is press Select, and that will log that as the new center point of the green, and the middle distance here will update. So we know that to the middle of the screen is $323\text{ yards}$ and to the back is $325$ in this example because that pin is pretty close to the back of the green. So that’s your pin value and that’s the back of the green if we moved it to the front of the green, then the center value here would update if we move the pin right the way down.

Digital Scorecard

Let’s now look at how we can get to our scorecard. When you complete a hole using the Shot Scope V5, it will ask you to enter the number of putts you’ve taken and your score for the hole, and what will happen is that information will be added to a digital scorecard if you have enabled scoring.

To get to your scorecard, you can either go through the Select menu or you can press the Up button, and that will load your scorecard here. You’ll see you’ve got Scorecard or Penalties. Let’s first of all go into Scorecard by pressing Select, and because I haven’t played any holes, I’m just going to manually add some.

Let’s go to Hole one, we’ll press Select. We’ll say we took $3\text{ putts}$ here, and because it’s a par four, it’s going to assume in this case that we made a par. So it’s going to think we drove to the green and then $3\text{ putted}$ for the par. In this case, I’m going to say I made a $5$. Let’s go down using the Down button to the next hole, and I’m going to add in $4\text{ putts}$ on this one, and you’ll see it thinks that we’ve made a $5$, so double bogey on this par three. We’ll go down and do two more holes. So we’ll just make $2\text{ putts}$ on this one for par, and we’ll do one more so we’ve got some data here. Let’s make this $2\text{ putts}$ but we’ve actually on this par 4 made a $9$.

Now if we go back out of the scorecard to the screen, you’ll see on home screen we can now see that we are 8 over par. So we can see that information about our score to par as we play. If we go back into the scorecard here and press Select, we can go up and down to any score. Let’s say on that hole we didn’t actually make a 9, I’d entered the wrong information, we can go down and we can adjust that using the Down or Up arrows here for the number of shots, mark it with Select, and then you’ll notice my score to par is now 5 over, which is hopefully a little more like it.

The other way to get into the scoring menu is to go to Select and then go down using the Down button and Scorecard, and that allows you to access your scorecard from here.

Penalty Menu

You may have noticed when I went into the Up menu we had Add Penalty. If we go down and choose Add Penalty whilst you’re playing, you can add in certain types of penalties. So whether you have lost a ball, you’ve hit a provisional, you’ve dropped a ball, you can use these penalty features here whilst you play using the watch.

Now I have a separate tutorial covering all of these which I’ll link to in the card above in the description below, so I’m not going to add these in just now, I’m not going to demonstrate them, you can watch the other video. But personally, I prefer to actually add these when I’m editing my round afterwards, and I’ve got other editing tutorials which again I’ll put a link to in the description below and card above, and they’ll show you how to add penalty shots and whatnot during the editing process. But for now, let’s just close this down and let’s look at a couple of the other options.

Last Shot Mode

The first one that we look at next is your Last Shot. If you press the Select button (which is where the 7 iron tag is), you notice the first menu option is Last Shot. If I press Select here, it will show you how many yards or meters it has been since your last shot.

So basically, once you hit your shot and walk to your new location, it will track that distance and display it in here, and this is useful if you want to see how far you’ve hit your last drive or one of your last shots. If you use GPS Only mode, then you can manually do this. So you can basically press the button, it starts tracking it, and then when you get to your new location, you’ll be able to see how far you’ve hit it. But the Last Shot mode when you’re using GPS and Track will automatically track your shot, and it will display on screen here, and then it will clear it when you make your next shot.

Manually Changing Hole

Now when you reach the end of a hole and you enter your number of putts and you enter your score, the device should automatically move to the next hole. If you don’t enter anything there, when you walk to the next tee it will move for you automatically as well. However, you can manually move between holes.

Let’s say for example we’re now on the third hole and it hasn’t moved me, I can press Select and then I can go down to Change Hole, press Select, and I can move to in this case the third hole, and then you’ll see it now updates Hole number three, and it shows me Hole number three around the outside here.

Pause Tracking

Now at this point, we might want to maybe hit two golf balls or we might want to practice our chipping on the tee, and I don’t want these shots to be tracked. So what I can do is I can actually pause my tracking.

To pause your tracking, all you do is press Select, and then you’re going to go down and you’re going to look for Pause Track. When you press Select here, it looks like it’s paused, but you need to press Select again to actually pause tracking, and now you’ll see the pause symbol appears here.

What this means is even if you have a tag near the strap, it will not actually track that as a shot, and this is a really good thing to do if you’ve arrived at the golf course early and you may be doing some putting or chipping on the practice screen and you don’t want it to track those shots, but you’ve initiated your round. You can pause it, practice until you head to the first tee, and then when you’re ready to resume, all you do is press the Select button at the top right, and you need to make sure you press Select again to Resume, and now any shots that you make using your tags will be tracked from this point onwards.

Viewing Battery Level

Now the V5 can last two full rounds, certainly during my testing from a full charge. But whilst you’re playing, if you want to just check your battery level, all you need to do is press Select, and then you’re going to go down and you’re going to look for the Battery option, which is here. Press Select, and that will let you see what your battery level is at. So you get the percentage and you also get a little indicator icon there. So it doesn’t display on the clock face whilst you’re playing—it only does that in general watch mode—but you can go into the Battery menu from the main menu to look at your battery level.

Switching Units of Measurement

Now we’ve been looking at the data here, but we’re not quite sure if we’re in meters or yards. It will base us on what you selected in the app when you went through the onboarding process. However, if you are not entirely sure, or you’ve chosen the wrong unit of measurement, during your round you can press Select, and then you can go down and what we’re looking for in here is the Units menu.

If we press Select here, you’ll see we have two options: we have Distance and Show Icon. Let’s go to Distance, and you can see we are currently in meters. So I’m going to change this to Yards and press Select.

But what I like to do is I like to go back into this menu and I like to turn Show Icon on, and then I choose Enable. So although it adds another little element to the screen, I can now quite clearly see here I am in yards: $265\text{ yards}$. Whereas before, I couldn’t quite tell if it was yards or meters, and it turns out I was in meters, which can have quite a big impact on my performance if I’m basing on yards but in fact we’re playing meters when when you’re using.

Ending Your Round

Your V5 generally what will happen is when you get to the 18th hole and you pot out it will ask you to enter the number of pots and your score for that hole at that point it will then allow you to end your round if you’re playing nine holes on a nine-hole course it will come up and do the same thing at that point and it will give you the option to continue playing maybe another nine holes if you want to. If we’re ending the round early though we need to press the select button and then go up to End Round and at this point here we’ve got the choice to either end our round right now or go down to resume the round so maybe I’ve decided actually I’m going to keep playing I can choose resume round and we can carry on. If we want to end the round at this point though we press select and then we’re going to go into End Round. You’ll notice here though it tells me how many minutes we’ve been playing for that’s one way that you can check your round time.

The other way you can do that just before we do end our round is you can go down and there is an option that lives within here that allows you to see your round time so if we choose select there we can see the round time in here but it also displays it as you just saw there when you go to end your round. So anyway at this point let’s click on the end round button using select and we can see our score so we can see I took 20 strokes I have managed zero steps which obviously wouldn’t happen on the golf course but I’m sitting here still and the round was $15\text{ minutes}$ and $17\text{ seconds}$. All we need to do now is press back and that round has now been tracked on our watch.

Viewing Round History

The final part of the process is we need to connect the watch to the app and synchronize our rounds. We can then go and perform some edits if you want to see if you’ve got any rounds stored on your watch that haven’t yet been transferred across. If you press the select button and then go up to History you’re able to see in here all of the rounds are living on the watch and need to be moved across. Once they move across to your account using the mobile app they will be cleared from your history on this device.

Switching the V5 Off

To finish up with if you want to turn your shot scope V5 off all you need to do is press the select button and then you’re going to go up to Shut Down press select and then confirm by pressing the select button again on the yes menu and that will turn your shot scope V5 off. The great thing about the V5 is when you take off of your wrist it will turn off automatically as long as it stays after about 30 minutes to save that battery from here. Next time you want to use it all you need to do to turn on is press the select button and it will boot back up. So that’s my full overview of how to navigate and use the short scope V5 and we’ve looked at all of the key settings there for General watch mode and for golf mode.
