Golf shot tracking

Iant.. 1 month ago

Shot tracking still isn't working,unless you restart the watch after starting the round of golf.

I have reported this in both beta and on here but because Garmin can't answer the question they lock the topic so you can't comment on it.

I am having the same issue. I upgraded from an Epix gen 2 that worked well. The new Fenix (Purchased at Christmas 2024) was working until about 2 -3 weeks ago mid-late May 2025, and now the shot tracking…

I’m having the same issue with s44.
do you have update on the fixing also for it?

I doubt the s44 is the same firmware as the Fenix 8,could be a different issue.Might be best to look on the s44 forum.

I played my first round since the update yesterday. Started round and wouldn't the course so restarted and all was working as it should but not sure if this was just working like the previous temp fix or it has actually been fixed.

It hasn't been fixed,I played yesterday and had to do the restart.

Not good at all. £1000+ watch. Everything was working perfectly fine. Should be a straight forward fix you'd imagine.

Updated to 15.32. Did not execute a restart and wanted to try playing straight away. Auto shot did not work. Will try the annoying restart work around prior to next round and see how that goes...

I downloaded 15.32 and still have issues. I played all last week in Wisconsin - Top courses. I had to restart the watch every time for the autoshot function to work. Hoping (Hope is not a strategy) Garmin will get this fixed so the $1,200 investment proves to have been worth it.

It is getting more and more frustrating, I paid a lot of money for the watch and my friend who bought the cheaper model is having no problems. garmin when can we expect a fix to this?

This is absolutely unacceptable. Why would a serious company not fix this problem immediately? Even if this still works with other models - If you cannot fix your top model, there is a general problem with your company. I am quite well connected and will now spread the word. Garmin products are seriously compromized if things stay as they are, and they cannot be recommended.
