Thanks for the review Kris. I'm using the SX500 at the moment and I'm wondering if you have noticed any difference in the outdoor screen performance with the SX550? I'm guessing they're basically the same in terms of brightness, color reproduction etc., but it would be good to hear your thoughts.
I haven’t noticed any big difference in brightness or touch sensitivity. I *think* the color reproduction is a little better. It could just be that it’s a bigger display and maybe looks better. But the differences overall from that perspective are pretty negligible.
thanks for the vid...did u order from sky caddie directly because i would like to know if indeed they provided the universal mount for the cart....thanks again.
The mount is sold separately for $35. I'd like it if they would allow you to bundle the two for a small discount. They threw it in my box because I'm a big-time golf guy. Haha (I swear that's a joke.)
Neither one of them have a magnet, but I like where your head's at! Maybe I'll record a video testing it on the older SX500. I wonder if a magnet will damage the electronics inside. I guess there's only one way to find out!
I bought sky caddie sx550 at golftown and used just over one year and now it did not turn on. I called customer service to fix it and the customer service guy gave me a phone number to contact and I called that number but the number does not working. All the options the customer service did not fix the problem. . Customer service is bad and not kind . pricy and once broken after 1 year warranty you have nowhere to go to fix it in Canada . not very helpful during the round (you can used smartphone app to see the each hole for any hazard and check with your rangefinder) . you need to pay membership every year . broken after one year ( I used less than 20 rounds and did even used when raining) You better buy Garmin rangefinder Z30 which gives you front and back green distance.
Instead of talking about what the SX550 is doing you should be showing what you are doing on the screen. I just got a SX550 by UPS toady and am completely lost with it. I've been using the SGX for many years and loved it. This is a totally new contraption and I can't find any instructions for the SX550. This video is no help at all. I'm sure you are having fun doing what you are doing but yu are helping someone who needs help. Thanks for not showing how to use it.
Nice introduction of SX550. Can't wait for full comparison review!
Wish I got a cart mount when I got my SX500. ☹️
Thinking of getting the Sky Caddie LX5 watch or one of the handheld units, which would you recommend?
I’ve tried both and I personally much prefer the handheld unit. 1. I already wear a Fitbit on one wrist and 2. I like the bigger screen.

Does any of them have a magnet to stick to cart or mount?

Wish we would have played three rounds to fully test the battery life…

Hey David, thanks for watching. This video is an unboxing and comparison of features. Nowhere does it say it’s a tutorial.
That's an iPhone 12 pro, not a 10.
It’s true. That’s why I do golf unboxings and not phones. Haha
