Golf Buddy Voice Video...anyone?

[CypressC]

Does anyone have a video demonstrating what the voice on the new GolfBuddy Voce clip-on GPS sounds like? The only videos I can find on YouTube are their TV commercial (which is asinine, as it shows a Scottish caddy popping out of the device and giving the distance... and I'm sure the device sit loaded with a Scotsman or his heavily accented voice)

Mine will be here Tuesday... If I remember I will post if no one replies. Great reviews on Amazon, 5 stars out of nine reviews. Love the fact it can clip to my cap or belt, the voice is the icing on the cake, no matter what it sounds like.

I have the golf buddy voice and in my opinion it sounds pretty good. It certainly doesn't sound too mechanical. One of the better voices that I have heard.

Thanks much -- very close to ordering one, but would really appreciate seeing this before I buy.

I've got one that I've used on 3 different courses since I got it ...overall I think this thing is the slickest thing since sliced bread !!!

Okay, I went ahead and bought this product -- I LOVE IT. The distances were accurate every time, the voice (which sounds kinda like Siri and an iPhone) was loud enough to hear easily but quiet enough that my playing partners couldn't hear it, and the form factor is awesome. I am convinced that every single rangefinder/GPS company will be copying this item in the next few months. I am going to try and shoot a video next week on the course demonstrating how well it works. Once I do, I will post a link to video. I am so glad I got this - GolfBuddy is going to sell a million of them.

interested in the simplicity of it, would also want to hear before buying

Been using one as a demo at work, my advise would be to get the Garmin S1/S3 or a Bushnell, more accurate and alot easier to hold onto i.e. not lose if it falls in the rough etc.

The only fault I find, can't download new course w/windows vista. Company no help, other wise good gps.

I've had it for over a month and I love it. It's truly a little gem. The ladies voice is very clear, no problem there and seeing it is not a problem either. It's very simple to use. I've seen that commercial you're talking about and it's not a Scottish voice in the unit, it's a ladies and very clear and easy to understand. I used it yesterday at my course and a friend of mine pulled up and checked the yardage with his $500 laser range finder and they both said the same thing. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone.

I have window's Vista and had no problem updating a local course. Also had no problem with Daesy at the support for the unit.

I totally agree with you, I love this unit. I had mine checked out against a high dollar laser range finder and it was right on. I love it.
