Motorola Motoactv golf

[chip-put]

Afettr receiving the Garmin S1 as a gift, I found myself wanting for additional features. So, off i wnt to the local golf store and bought the Motoactv golf edition. In summary-- its outstanding.

 

The Motoactv is a bit larger-- so theer si a slight adjustment to it on the wrist, btu this takes just a few holes. The color touch screen, ability to keep score, monitor shots, and record club distances makes it far superior to the other wrist based GPS products. Whats great is that when u finish a round, you can download the data wirelessly via your home WiFi network -- which the watch aotomatically recognizes. All you data can then be assessed throught the internet.

 

Even more -- you can moitor many other excercises-- i.e. distance walked duriong your golf round-- making it a more complete product.

 

My only issue is that it takes a few minutes to find staillites and I have lost reception once during a round-- which can be annoying.

 

 

Overall two thumbs up!!

Sounded interesting, so I checked around a bit. Unfortunately, the Motoactv is being discontinued and support will cease in about 6 months. The good news: you can get them cheap. Motorola is selling the golf edition for $199.

Can anyone confirm this news?
I did notice a price drop in the US to 180. In Canada they are still 300.
Does anyone know if there is an issue bringing it north of the border? (I.e. Registration issues/Account issues/Function issues? Similar to products like the Kindle Fire HD?)
