    Best golf watch ever. If you've had a garmin watch before you can assign previous rounds the right distance for your clubs and virtual caddie will work fine. Before using it, you should create all of your clubs in the garmin golf app. To use the wind feature you will also need garmin connect app. You will want to turn on stat tracking and club prompt on the settings -> golf menu before you play. I love the stat tracking for fairways, individual clubs, & GIR. Chipping & putting stats require the CT10 sensors. Pin finder is great when playing new golf courses. Battery lasts 4x longer than my Garmin Approach S60. The instructions are bad, so a youtube video or two helps.

    I’ve owned the last three models and this one is by far the best. Reasons: Battery - while others couldn’t last two rounds, I think those one could last four. HR monitor - I sent this to my peloton and use it as my new heart rate monitor, plus it’s great for outdoor workouts, given the GPS function. Screen size - this model has a bigger screen and faster processor, so debility to track targets by touching and moving the screen around is far superior than any of the previous models. I love it.

    Overall I think this is a good not great product. A little complicated/time consuming to use. Once you have the course brought up it assumes you start on #1 if you start on 10 you have to put it in. I do like the watch face. Color showing hole is great. To be honest my old bush Nell HBO x5 was just as good and much easier to use at a third of the price.

    Our son just took up golf and loves it. He doesn’t normally wear a watch but seems to be taking to it. Now he just has to wait for spring to try all the golf features.

    very nice. Would buy again, probably should have purchased earlier. Not just for golf. Use mostly for golf but also use the sleep tracking feature every night

    Well worth the cost. I stepped up from the s20. The s20 is a great basic watch on it's own but the s62 is definitely next level. I'm still learning all it has to offer and I'm already blown away.

    Best Smartwatch for everyday and for Golf

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have this watch just a couple of days and I'm loving it. I also have an apple smartwatch to compare with. They are both good watches but if your main function is to use for everyday wearable watch and at the same time using the golf app I will give Garmin an advantage in terms of feature and most specially when it comes to battery life Garmin have the biggest advantage on that level. Visibility wise Gamin S62 is the better since it's bigger and also it enhances the visibility when sunlight reflect on it. Golf information in my opinion is the best so far and also the function of "my caddie" club suggestions based on your recorded stats and the wind direction info. For now those are my only reviews and I will further give more reviews in the future from other watch functions that S62 offers.

    Over priced and won't last.

    I am done with Garmin products. They seem nice at first but in a few months you won't be able to update or some other issue. Wont connect to my Phone or PC. Every time I buy an overpriced Garmin product it never lasts, I just returned 10k in Garmin marine electronics and switched to Simrad. Done with Garmin and their over priced junk.
