Pros:
Very light weight.
Accuracy seems consistent with range finder, and it's much easier to get distance by looking at your wrist.
Able to get lay-up distances, and distances to hazards.
Relatively inexpensive.
Good contrast in bright daylight, easy to read.
Stroke entry works well.
Cons:
Fairway and hazard visualization is not as good as the expensive color models.
Too many steps to "measure shot" or "change hole position"
Battery life is as claimed, but it is too short and requires recharge too often.
More steps than one would like to get distances to front and back of hazards.
Other:
Like any GPS watch, it doesn't actually know distance to the hole. My solution is, when in range of the green for the range finder, to compare the "Center of Green" from the watch to an actual range finder "distance to pin", and use the difference for other future shots at pin.
To replace the original band, I recommend:

It is inexpensive, lightweight, and much easier to put on or remove.
Overall, an excellent compromise between weight, cost, and functionality
Best thing is it just gives you an accurate shot yardage eiyout breaking the bank.
Recommend looking at this one for sure.
I set the numbers to the larger format and they are super easy to see at a glance. The face is easy to read in bright sunlight. I really like this so far. I will update if needed.
