    Purchased this specifically for golfing. Trying to get it uploaded with courses is very difficult. Once the first course was loaded I can’t get it to upload others

    I have only worn this watch two times for a total wear time of about 5 hours. I really like the watch; however, after removing it from the charger, the cradle that holds the charging cable onto the watch broke and now I can't charge the watch at all unless I continuously hold the cable onto the watch.
