Virtual Caddie on Fenix 7

Has anyone used the virtual caddie yet on the fenix 7? I was thinking of getting an Approach s62, but then I was missing out on some great features the Fenix 7 has regarding fitness and health. I've read that the fenix 7 should have support for virtual caddie with the latest beta update, but I'm wondering how well it works and if there are any differences between this implementation and the implementation on the S62.

  • Yep, I have upgraded to the latest beta and you have to submit 3 scorecards using the watch. Then you get suggested clubs to use on every shot based on your history. Works OK, not sure if it uses the Wind element to adjust what club to suggest though. 

  • Hey Guys - i've just purchased the Fenix 7.  I read it has the wind element and virtual caddy.  I've uploaded 5 scorecards, and I still don't see this feature.  I also can't find the wind feature.  Am i doing something wrong?

  • I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to record 3_ scorecards while using firmware 9.2x or higher (the firmware which introduced virtual caddie).

    Your watch couldn't have had that firmware before yesterday, unless you were participating in the Beta program. Yesterday was the first day they started releasing the firmware with Virtual Caddie to the general public.

    But, full disclosure, I have never used the Golf feature on a Garmin watch before, so I don't totally know how it works.
