Vivoactive 5 Golf GPS Wrong

dsc123 6 months ago

I had a VA3 that I used for golf all the time and it was great. I just got a VA5 and in the two rounds I’ve played, the distances are off by 10-15 yards compared to my Arccoss app or range finder. It’s been long and it’s been short, always by 10-15 yards. Anyone have a fix for this? Do I just have a bad unit?

It doesn’t post as an activity, either.

I am having the same issue with my vivoactive 5 watch and it is anywhere from 16 to 25 yards short compared with other devices as well as verifying multiple ways with even having a different GPS app on my phone that is always extremely close to the actual yardage. I have reached out to support on the issue and waiting on a reply and hopefully a resolution.

I feel silly saying this, but mine was set to meters.
