I bought the SGx last summer, but I didn't open it until march, when my SG2 subscription expired. Out of the box, it was a bit difficult to get going. I was trying to update it, and it froze on me, and I had to call customer service.. they were able to do it through remote access (that makes me nervous to give them access to my computer, but the process was much simpler to have them do it) in about 60 min. Once it was updated, everything works great. All of the previous reviewer's concerns, I haven't seen at all... It works reliably, quickly... it took me a while to figure out how to access the advanced features (have to download the course from online, which requires subscription)... but once I figured that out, it's now a piece of cake. The mark feature is reliable, but I always forget to use it... the scorecard feature is great... and it can track putts and fairways.. then when you upload the sgx, it uploads the rounds and keeps your stats.. very easy to use. and I like to use it to keep score, so I don't fixate on my score while playing... battery life is about 10-12 hours.. I've played 4 3-4 hour rounds on one charge. Overall I am pleased.. knocked the rating down for updating problems. » Close
