Replaces an old Garmin
I bought this to replace my husbands old, unreliable Garmin. He’s used the new one for a couple weeks now, and finds it easy to read and very accurate. Easy to set up and operate.

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.
