Swami Kiss Handheld Golf GPS Rangefinder

instruction aren't the best but i could figure it out. i've compared it to readings from more expensive gps and range finders. always within a yard of each other

Works great easy to use great quality

The Swami Kiss is accurate. I compared its distance readings with my friends' GPS watches and golf scopes, and found the Swami readings to be accurate. The screen is easy to read. The controls are easy and quick. It charges quickly, and gives you at least 2 rounds on a charge.I do have one little gripe .... after using it for 3 rounds, I found that occasionally it didn't read the hole I was on, and gave me distance on an adjacent hole. This could have been due to the fact that on the course I played, the greens and tee boxes are very close to each other. So I'm awarding 4 stars now, and will see how it performs on other courses, for a possible revision to 5 stars.

I'm on my second unit, after returning the first one. The price is right, but I'm thinking you get what you pay for in this case. The first one, on SOME courses, would freeze up and crash when you tried to look at hazard distances. The screen would just go blank and it would restart. The second one shows the hazard distance (which I don't think is correct) and then crashes and restarts. Out of the courses in my area, this only seems to happen on two, but unfortunately one of those is my home course, where hazard distances are particularly useful. I did update the firmware and the courses, but that didn't fix the issue. I called customer support, and they told me to update it. They said if that didn't work, I could get a replacement. As I said above, the replacement was pretty much as bad as the first one. My suspicion is that they have a problem with some courses in their course database. Some testing on their part would fix the problem.I'm currently debating on whether I want to return the second one and spend more on a different unit. This one does seem to give good yardage distances and I like the form factor and the price, but it's buggy and that's why I gave it one star.

Have used this for a few weeks with no problems. Battery life is good and lasts for about three to four rounds before needing charging.

Easy to use and worked fine for a few weeks, then got stuck on Play.

Good display; paired with satellites quickly. Won’t advance to next hole and display froze. Tried powering off and restarting. Will try again at a different course but seems like a waste of money. Weak magnet also.

Accurate. Best especially for the money
