The 30-second verdict

The H50 gives the handheld GPS category a much-needed current product from a priority brand. Its large colour touchscreen is aimed at golfers who want to see the hole rather than rely only on simple front, middle and back distances.

Buy it if

  • You prefer a dedicated handheld to wearing a GPS watch.
  • You value a visual hole map and touchscreen interface.
  • You want a current Shot Scope GPS product.

Avoid it if

  • You want distances instantly available on your wrist.
  • You only need simple yardages and want the lowest possible price.
  • You want launch-monitor functionality built into your handheld.

Where it fits

The H50 is the current Shot Scope handheld option in our portfolio. Golfers wanting a watch should compare the Shot Scope V5/X5 or Garmin S44/S50/S70. Those wanting a premium Garmin handheld can compare the Approach G82 if that hybrid GPS/launch-monitor proposition suits their needs.

Our recommendation

Choose the H50 when a large visual GPS screen is more useful to you than the convenience of a watch. It earns its place because it fills a distinct buying role rather than simply adding another overlapping GPS model.
