This golf watch has all the features anyone could possible want for golf. Quite view of the distance front, middle and back. Close up view of the greens and can move the pin for exact yardage. Keeps score by hole and total front and back. /Can set your handicap for net score. Allows you to measure the distance for each club. I love it.

The watch is great for distance and club selection purposes. Especially for those who don't enjoy squinting through binoculars like myself. Only wish the picture of course layout was bigger but then again I wouldn't want that big of a device on my wrist

very skeptical about this one mostly on battery issues, got it as a gift, first time I used it while toggling back and forth after a round of golf with 97% battery life it consumed only 50% which was contrary on what I read and
not bulky and very easy to use,

Fiancé loved it. Good battery life and each distance to green is accurate. We played twice in a week (once in Louisiana and once in Florida) and worked great. Still playing around with it but so far so good. Worth the money if you play often.

Watch is fantastic. Pinpoint yardage and layout. Only downside is battery life which gives you about 6 hours of play time. 18 holes fine but more then that your pushing it.

The watch is a little hard to put on but that's not a flaw because it will stay put during play. The screen technology is a little old but that's so the battery lasts longer and accidental screen touches don't interfere with use so not a big deal. Graphics could also be better but I wouldn't want to sacrifice battery life for that. Overall a good watch but I look forward to future enhancements.

He always wears it even just for the time. The instruction manual was easy to follow and he was using it just in minutes.
The courses listed were all the ones he liked to play.
It was the best Birthday Gift ever.

I have a Garmin running watch - and now this Golf GPS Watch! I love it. The criticisms of the watch I've read on other sites (that the touch-screen isn't like other devices, that the colors are washed out in bright sun, etc.) are meaningless. Every device has a learning curve; every feature is designed to meet someone's needs - and this one works well for me!

While it has a lot of fun and valuable functions I have one big problem. While playing it occasionally switches screens which is a pain. Also, the arrows on the face are teeny tiny and are difficult for me which I am a woman and have small hands so for my husband he couldn't use it at all.

This is a very nice product, I didn't like it because I found it difficult to use, and program. I would have liked to have a easy mode that would automatically find the hole and course. I didn't want to be playing with the watch wile trying to play golf

Works great when on the course......helps me with all of my shots, being a beginner I find it a great help on how to shoot and angle the clubs.
Would advise anyone looking to get sharper on the course to consider buying.

Not sure if defect or bug, but disappointed..

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My watch I bought on this website is either defect or carries original bug that does not adjust time properly. Currently, physical stores do not have inventory, so cannot try another pair or exchange this watch..
I am waiting for the reply from Garmin product service but hasn't received it (arrived and sent email on Monday and now Wed)
Other than this bug or defect, I am happy with the product, but this is second time I got defect or bug on Garmin product (cycling computer), so need to rate 1 star.

Installation of the current timezone map software along with a complete GPS acquisition is required before your Approach S6 will provide the correct time. Please see the following FAQ for more information on satellite acquisition and requirements:
