Got a Garmin watch? You need this
Love, love, love this paired with my S70 watch. I zap the pin one time. I do it from anywhere when I have a free moment. From that time on, no need to pull out the range finder. All distances show up on the watch…no matter where I go. The accuracy, and viewfinder seem to be a commodity now among rangefinders. This z30 finds the pin and locks on quickly. The magic hap...

Approach z30
Could not get it to show distance consistently and could not get it to connect to my garmin watch even though the watch showed connected. I returned it and bought a bushnell.

Great features but not so accurate finding flags
I am on my 3rd Z30, first one had issues finding the flag, second one I lost but was better, Third one I exchange because it was faulty but replacement also has issues finding the flags that are far away 180+ yards

So Good!!
I really appreciate the technology with the garmin devices, they interact seamlessly which makes it easy to use and fun to use on the course. If you have the watch shoot the flag once and you're set!! It makes my playing partners mad I have all of this information at a glance of the watch : )

Great Rangefinder
Love it. Works seamlessly with my Garmin Z70 Approach watch and the Garmin Golf App. Makes golfing a lot more enjoyable with all the information.

Great Rangefinder!!
I purchased Z30 to pair with my Approach S50 watch. The pairing feature was extremely simple. Quick target acquisition, clear screen with bright red numbers. Shows you adjusted distance is enabled with front and back numbers at the same time. When paired with watch you know exactly where the pin is located on the green. Buy it!!!

Great product
Very user friendly range finder. Easy to read display in monocular. I get a lock on the flag pole almost 100% of the time. With owning the S70, the virtual caddie is elevated with arc distance and club recommendation. Magnet is very useful when riding in cart. Although I haven’t used the connection to “find”the Z30… but I could see how useful it would be to locate your ...

Seamless Integration
Bought this about a month ago, love the automatic integration to my Garmin golf watch. If you use a garmin watch this is a no brainer.

Solid Device
Love the feature that tells how far from the front or back of the green the flag is. Provides yardage quick and is accurate. Easy to connect to the app and phone.

Excellent features!
I love the way it seamlessly pair and shair data among my S62, and the phone app.
I can easily and quickly capture the distance and position to the flag that specific day, and is sent to my phone, as well as what comes into play with the arc.
Absolutely love it, and I'm very happy I went with the Z30!

Love it!
Great product. Easy to use and key features are intuitive. Slope, front, back etc. Biggest surprise for me is that it was extremely easy to link to watch. I am not very tech savy and not a fan of gadgets with too many features which just end up making navigation too difficult. Long battery life. No drawbacks in my mind except that for a few times the watch seemed t...

Another amazing Garmin product
I love the integration with my Fenix 8 watch with automatic pin placement on the green graphic. The range finder locks to pin quickly with a nice un-blurred eye viewer. Many of my friends are also adopting the Garmin golf watch+rangefinder combination.

Ok
This is a pretty standard rangefinder. Issue is pairing it with the watch if you have one and if your watch actually works and doesn’t crap out after the one year warranty. Bluetooth connection is slow and spotty. It can get the distance to pin quickly enough but you have to wait awhile and hold the rangefinder fixed on pin for it to show you the front and back distance...

Great especially if you have Garmin approach watch
Very quick to lock on. Being able to connect to the away h to get distance front and back to the green. Also you can choose your landing spot on the green and get that distance after you get the distance.

When combined with the Garmin golf watch, the Garmin golf App, and range finder you have very powerful tools for yardage information.

Accurate and Easy to Lock on the Flag
Excited to use the Z30 to pair flag distance with the Garmin golf GPS. However, I haven't been able to successfully link it to my G30 as internet claims they are compatible.
