#Callaway gpsy charger how to

We’re not entirely sure how to obtain course updates on the GPSync – there is a link for an “Update Tool” on the Callaway support web site, but after downloading the file, it wouldn’t open for us, providing an error message informing us that it was a Windows file. The Callaway GPSync comes with the entire course library pre-loaded on the device.(This is not unique to the GPSync – it is the case with almost every watch we test) No wall charger is provided, so unless you already have one, the only way to charge the Callaway GPSync is by plugging the USB cable into your computer.If you find the sweet spot, you can snap the watch firmly into place, but it takes some practice.

The charging clip does not fit particularly snugly, and early on, we frequently thought we had it loosely attached to the GPSync and it was not (and thus was not charging).

Scoring on the watch is nice, but the statistics that can be tracked are a bit limited, and there’s no aggregation of data (either on the mobile app or on a web site) to show how you’re progressing over time.Īfter the demise of the Callaway uPro line of devices (which we liked a lot), we were hoping that this new release would represent a resurgence of the chevron brand, but the GPSync, while a functional device, never really excites in any way, and is pricy relative to what you get. The GPSync will tell you that there’s a hazard that is 194 yards to reach and 210 yards to carry, but it doesn’t indicate which side of the fairway the hazard is on, and if there are multiple hazards on the same side, good luck guessing which one the GPSync is identifying. The availability of hazard information is nice, although it’s often difficult to determine which hazards are actually being presented. IZZO has apparently discontinued its own line of Swami watches in order to avoid cannibalizing sales of the GPSync.
