    Good golf watch

    Overall, I have been pleased with the watch. Pretty accurate on the course, but battery can drain quickly. Some of the features are too difficult to use on the course, but good for general distance to front, back and middle. Other good features including step count. Also, like that it does not need its own internet like apple watch.

    Better than past watches

    This is an improvement, but it is still not that easy for an older gentleman to use. It is very accurate, once you get to the right screen. The hole views are not worth much and moving the pin is great, but you don't know where to move it. I like that it knows when I am playing golf, counts my steps, can give me the temperature, etc. It is better than any app I could put on my Apple watch, but it still is not great.

    Great golf watch with plenty of game assisting tools. I especially like the scorecard feature which gives a hole by hole analysis including clubs used and distance carried by each club. I’m giving only 4 stars because I thought the instructions were very poor. I was able to learn more about the features on YouTube.

    I used the old black and white Garmin S4 watch for several years. the new garmin S60 is a 100% better, faster, accurate pictures and yardage numbers of the greens and fairways. screen is sensitive to your touch, and bright. Great improvement on the course data and stats.

    Takes some tome to learn. A bit confusing especially when on the golf course. Rear metal piece came off after a week. Pairs perfectly easily with phone.

    Not only do I enjoy this on the golf course, it has truly proven it's usefulness as a daily watch for work or play. It is extremely accurate on the golf course. I have compared it to laser range finders many times and I am never more than a yard off for distance. The touchscreen is welcome when needing to get a distance to a hazard or boundary. I wear it daily to keep track of my steps, calories, messages, calls, calendar, and so on...

    I will trying this product for golf but and fitness, On golf all the fancy features like the vectors pin locations are not good enough, basically you can't decide how to play a hole just with the hole vector, is to basic and a lack of detail. For fitness does not count the calories even if is connected with the heart rate monitor. I call Garmin and they told me that for some reason don't measure the calories when connected with the heart rate monitor, as they claim. Any other watch can give you all the info that you need to play.

    This watch was a great addition. While it didn’t fix my slice or hitting my irons fat :-), but jokes apart, this watch Really helped me gauge my game and use the right clubs for every shot. In addition the pin placement feature does wonders to ensuring right club is picked for the clutch shot. Highly recommended.

    This is the one golf watch for every aspect of your game. From the tempo app to the on course use. Besides being the best volf watch i have ever used, it is a great smart watch. The only thing missing is a built in heart rate monitor.

    Not all that great

    It has nice features with the touch screen but that is difficult to get it to fit on the watch face to be able to get to the spot you would like to touch to get the distance to. Like the fact that unlike the S20 it will not stop and think I hit a shot if i stop on the way to my shot to allow a member of my group to hit. Is easy to read but now the bad Horrible and I mean horrible battery life. The claim of ten hours in GPS mode is no where near accurate. I play fast and can play 18 in three hours walking but the watch is at 50% charge when done. So much for 10 hours in battery life. The advanced features are not convenient to get to when playing. The buttons on the side while it is nice they are large they often times brush against my glove or my pocket when I reach in to get my ball out to start a hole and send the watch to different screens. Very Very slow connecting to the GPS can take over five minutes. It will not stay connected to my phone to update to the Connect app. The only way to update is to log into the app and sync. It would auto update at first but has ceased to do that. Has tremendous ideas but not worth what I spent on it. Kept trying to get to work and took to long doing that and passed the return time at Best Buy or it would be returned.

    I live in the Detroit area. I purchased this watch at the start of winter season and it's to cold and snowy to golf. So far the watch feels light on my wrist and counts my steps and tracks my sleep. I'll rate it again after playing a few rounds. Avg ratings at this time only because I have it played a round of golf with it.

    This was a great watch. I had to try it out. I'm old fashion, but all my friends use golf watches. Everything is in color. I can use it for other things besides golf.
