    Garmin S50 Watch

    I love all of the golf features, but it has so much more than golf. It tracks all of my fitness activities and the blue tooth to my phone gives me all of my notifications right away. Great screen size, and I love how it has the quick release bands so that I can easily change out the bands if I want. Great watch!

    Garmin Approach S50

    Great watch for the price. The golf features are very comprehensive, and the health metrics on the connect app are great too. It feels like a HUGE step up from my Fitbit Sense 2. I was able to figure out how to ise all the features in a day or 2 My one complaint would be the wrist strap is too short to get off my hand without completely undoing it and the velcro is a bit thick, pulling it in and out of the loop takes a fair bit of effort and is tricky with one hand

    GPS and Watch Face are good. Garmin S44

    Only use it for golf, So far, the GPS is giving accurate readings, and the color dial is spiffier than the S10 model it is replacing [working but lost]. I do not use any of the host of smart watch features, nor will I ever, so I can't speak to them. Acutally I have not worn a watch for 50 years, Just while I am on the course.
