Shot Scopes G6 GPS golf watch - distances in view, game under control

Sometimes you simply need clear and reliable information on the golf course to make the next decision. This is exactly where the Shot Scope G6 GPS watch comes into play. It provides golfers with precise distance information and is easy to use. The G6 is part of the range from Shot Scope, a Scottish company founded in Edinburgh in 2014.

Shot Scope has since specialized in using technology to help golfers better navigate and understand their game. The Scots have quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the fields of golf GPS, rangefinders and shot tracking technology. Shot Scope relies on a team of technology experts and passionate golfers - including former professionals and top-class amateurs. They all have a deep understanding of the game and the needs of players. The company's focus is on providing accurate and up-to-date data, which is why, for example, all 36,000 golf course maps worldwide are created and maintained in-house. Free mobile apps and firmware updates without subscription fees underline the customer-oriented approach.

The Shot Scope G6 golf watch

In this context, the G6 fits seamlessly into Shot Scope's product philosophy. It focuses on providing key information for your course strategy, embodying the company's core promise directly on the wrist.

At first glance, the G6's round color display is striking. It utilizes the entire display area - a step up from its predecessor, the G5, which had a square display in a round case. The result: a clear and easy-to-read display. Whether the sun is shining brightly or the sky is overcast, the large digits and the daylight-readable display ensure that you can easily grasp all the information.

Precise distances, clear display

The watch provides you with dynamic distances to the start, center and end of each green. But it can do even more: it also shows you the distances to hazards such as bunkers and water hazards and gives you reference points for layup options and doglegs. This information is worth its weight in gold when it comes to adapting your game strategy. A clever detail is the ability to adjust the position of the flag on the green - giving you even more precise distances to the hole. In addition, the G6 offers hole maps that present you with an aerial view of the hole you are playing.

If a club has undergone a redesign, that's no problem: Shot Scope's mapping team specializes in making quick updates to golf course maps.

After putting, you can record your result directly on the watch thanks to the built-in Scorecard. And to ensure that the G6 also suits you visually, there are various customization options with different colour themes and dial designs. The watch is supplied as "head only", but matching wristbands in different colors are included so that you can quickly find your personal touch.

Fast connection, fast charging

In terms of performance, the G6 impresses with its impressively fast GPS acquisition. The watch captures satellite signals in the shortest possible time. Charging the battery is also quick, so that the G6 is quickly ready for use again. In GPS mode, the battery lasts for two rounds of golf, and even ten days in watch-only mode. Weighing just 42 grams, the G6 is also a real lightweight on the wrist. After the game, the watch provides a summary of your round with the total playing time and your score. Another practical function is the measurement of the last distance you hit to check your shot distances.

The Shot Scope G6 is operated exclusively via buttons, as it is deliberately not a touchscreen model. This can take a little getting used to for some functions, such as adjusting the flag position. The G6 focuses on the essential distance and course information, unlike more complex Shot Scope models that also include comprehensive shot tracking and post-round data analysis. It is a solid golf watch that delivers everything you need from a golf watch as a distance tracker. Above all, it stands out in terms of value for money.
