Our view
The G6 punches above its price by including full hole maps — a feature most GPS watches reserve for premium tiers. At £179 you get hazard distances, layup points, doglegs and complete hole overview that competitors charge significantly more for. The honest limitations are the lower resolution display and the absence of shot tracking. If you want Strokes Gained data and performance analytics, step up to the V5 at £199 which adds shot tracking for £20 more and is better value overall. The G6 makes most sense for golfers who specifically want GPS-only simplicity.
Pros
- Full hole maps at entry price — most competitors at £179 offer only F/M/B distances
- No subscription fees for full GPS functionality
- Lightest Shot Scope watch at 42g — comfortable for full round wear
- Simple button navigation — straightforward for golfers who find touchscreens fiddly
- 48-hour course edit turnaround is class-leading
- Upgrade path clear — V5 or X5 Track add shot tracking later
Cons
- No shot tracking — GPS only
- Lowest resolution display in the Shot Scope range at 176x176
- 4-day watch battery requires charging mid-week if worn daily
- ABS plastic case — less premium than ceramic bezel on X5 range
- No health monitoring or smartwatch features
- No Strokes Gained or advanced statistics without shot tracking

Suits golfers who find the V5 and X5 more complex than they need, and those who prefer simple button navigation over touchscreen.
