PLEASE INSERT A BUTTON on the screen TO ADD A MISSED SHOT MANUALLY. Just like Tom Tom has!
Mine has stopped altogether. Tried everything. Cant believe is watch (?) ....software issue surely
Shotdetection of my S60 is very, very, very poor.
90% of my drives and at least 50% of my fairwaywoods and 25% of my ironshots are not detected. Please Garmin, add a manual button to the software. For merely EUR 400,- it is a very expensive watch, but as a Golf-watch it is worthless. If shottracking is not working (and it is not) all the nice golf-features are useless.
S60 Software 7.10 (Sensorversion 6.10) updated yesterday.
that was my exact problem. no solution, so went with bushnell, Manuel shot tracker, I am now satisfied
Garmin logged the issue and, when I sent them a screenshot showing that my Fenix 5x had only detected 4 shots in a round,they agreed to replace it. 2 years old. I pointed out that it must be a hardware problem with the accelerometer
The AutoShot feature is a classic example of software engineers overengineering something based on a misunderstanding of user needs. As a golfer, I want to measure all of my shots so that I can understand how far I hit each club and also to help me find a ball when I hit it in a penalty area. It's not good enough to measure some or even most of these shots. If they can't guarantee 100% accuracy for shot detection with the accelerometer, then they should scrap this feature in favor of a fool proof manual shot measurement trigger, similar to what exists on the S4 and earlier models.
Agreed, auto shot detection is fundamentally flawed at present. Such as shame as my 6 Pro is awesome otherwise. I wish they would look at this and either implement a manual method or compare what they used to have with older models and/or FR945 and at least offer a beta for us to try.
I gave up, sent it back and purchased Bushnell which I am satisfied with
I don’t want to send me back as I love it for everything else. In fact the only issue I have is the shot detection in the golf app. All my running cycling walking hiking skiing gym is great.
I realise golf might not be the highest priority as Garmin has a few issues across the model range to sort out just wish HQ would have a look at it and not just say no one has complained. Which we know isn’t true.
I have the Phoenix 6 Pro and sometimes doesn't even detect my drives. This is unforgivable for a 700 USD gear.
Same here! Got the s62 and it stopped completely! Have not detect a single shot in 2 rounds. 600 usd here in Sweden... lame for that price! It doesn't even know when I hole out and walking to next tee! What is that problem?
In the end, i hard reset everything back to original defualt settings. Unistalled garmin golf and connect. Then started from scratch. Fixed the problem. Didnt lose stats on connect which is something, but you shouldnt have to do that.
