Many golfers find touchscreens can be a little erratic, especially in the rain or while wearing gloves.
Where the V5 really stands out though is in the post-round shot tracking and the analytics on offer.
Shot Scope offers all of this at a very reasonable single price point.
There is only one color choice (black) and there are no alternative strap color options either.
Its a simple, black design and looks nice on the wrist.
The dust-resistant silicone strap is nice and flexible and sits snugly on the wrist.
In fact, its actually one of the more comfortable golf watches Ive tested.
In terms of construction, the V5 has a 1.2 daylight-readable color display made from hardened mineral glass.
You do have access to excellent shot tracking information if you use the tags that come with this watch.
If youre into that, then this is an excellent feature.
It isnt always the same speed though.
The first time I used it I found it was very quick, probably less than 10 seconds.
Other times it has taken a little longer and on one occasion it was around a full minute.
After that first round, though, it became second nature.
Theres a lot to like about the V5 though.
It was straightforward enough to set up the tags too.
They are pre-marked so theres very little to do other than screw them into the specific club.
Then, in the app, you could make up your bag by adding in your specific clubs.
In terms of the charger, the cable is extremely secure.
Perhaps too secure, as I had to be quite forceful to remove it and that makes me nervous.

Garmin Approach S62
The best golf watch weve tried for maps.
A bit older, but its now also a bit cheaper.
Weather conditions were varied and on one occasion the rain was quite heavy for a time.
