Issues on Samsung Galaxy watch 3

[Amit Bhakta]

Can you help me diagnose the following issues with the app and on the watch?

1. The locations keeps going on and off. It constantly is searching for location even though the apps has correct permissions.

2. If i don't select the shot on the tee box and then later go to add it, it will automatically choose the very back teem box even though before the round, I selected blues.

3. Battery drains way too fast. Goes from 100% to 15% if not worse by end of the round.

4. The yardages to the flag are incorrect. I have measured the flag with my rangefinder and compared to the watch many times throughout the day and it is often off by 15 to 20 yards. Even adjusting for slight movements in the flags it should not be this bad.

Hi,

For point 4.

I believe the samsung watch 3 uses the gps from the cell phone for measuring distance. 

Try keeping your phone on you. If it is in your golf bag, it could be measuring the distance to the pin from the golf bag. 

Golfpad also gives the distance to the front, middle and back of the green, not the actual flag position. It may be out by quite a way, especially if the green is large. 

Regards

Kevin

Hi

You can configure to use either watch or phone GPS. It does not impact on accuracy assuming you have the phone on your pocket or close to watch. 

Have you checked the units? It's about 10% difference between yards and meters.

Also in my experience, some of the course mappings have inaccuracies...

Also make sure if you are going to use the yardage on the watch, you have to turn off Bluetooth otherwise it will default to the yardage on the phone.
