I know folks hate “rant” threads, so I won’t go there’s too much, but I wanted to pass on what a miserable experience it has been with my son’s new SkyCaddie SW2 watch. We received it as a gift.
-After one round, it made us register online to continue to use.
-Registration was easy, but SkyGolf wants lots of personal info.:bad:
-They have multiple fee based plans and one free plan that you MUST subscribe to in order to make the watch do anything but tell time.
-You have to add a plan to your cart and checkout...even if it’s the free one.
-After registration, software must be downloaded to a desktop or phone that SYNCS the devices with the SkyGolf mothership. Fair enough.
-Software download was not straightforward, but it appears to work.
-Spent about 45 min with the watch plugged into the computer and it’s won’t recognize the watch. Tried multiple resets and USB ports.
-Unable to sync watch to the mothership...so its a fancy brick right now.
A side note, I use a Golf Buddy Voice 2 and it is ridiculously easy to update, load, and play with. No subscriptions, no personal data, free and fresh updates to thousands of courses. Just easy.
SkyGolf...you get a thumbs down from me.
