It's a great rangefinder but what separates the Z82 is clarity, pre-loaded courses, and the best feature is the find my rangefinder

Absolutely love this thing on the course gives you exact numbers for everything you need as well as when you use it for an actual rangefinder outside the course the zoom is impeccable and I really like the way the AI works when you used.

Awesome Z 82

I love all the features and functions of Z 82. The graphics are awesome coupled with the wind direction feature. Ultimately helped improve my game as it highlights all the features of any specific hole. They added benefit of the extended battery which allows me to get multiple rounds out of one charge is also a win-win.

Very disappointing

I have had Garmin Golf watches for years (S70 now) so I had high hopes for the Approach Z82. 1. It was hard to connect to Garmin Connect (figured it our on day 2), and even when connected, nothing seemed to connect - for example, a YouTuber said that once connected, and after using the Z82 to determine the yardage to the pin, the pin location would show on the S70 watch (instead of being in the center of the green). Didn't happen, ever. Even worse, it's just a pain to use as a mere rangefinder. You have to turn it on and then it cycles through a copyright notice, etc. And then you have to select the mode (play golf, vs just shooting flags on the range). And then it is slow - you lift it to shoot the flag and the screen cycles from dark to light, but even with the proper illumination of the screen, it is a low-resolution screen which looks murky. And finally, several times the distance measured was incorrect.
