S44 watch

The directions are just ok. Nothing to be exited about. Wish they had a quick start with simple instructions on getting up to speed but nope, some MIT grad designed the instruction portion

Very Accurate

I follow the S44 yardages religiously and they always prove accurate. Sometimes difficult to page through various screens, but I'm getting the hang of it.

Size is a factor.

I purchased this and as a woman I thought that the smaller 42mm would be fine. It really is BUT since I have a 47mm Forerunner and Fenix 8, this watch felt very small. I will keep this as it does cover all the golf basics but I have now also purchased the S70 to replace it. I should have known better. There’s no doubt this S50 is great thought and pairs with the R10 well. Good on course info is really what I need.

Love this watch

I've had this Garmin Approach S44 for a month now. I've played up to 7 different courses in 2 different states and had no issues with the watch immediately finding my course. The distances have been spot on. No longer do I need to carry my phone with me to get distances. The watch band is very comfortable and comes in different colors. I would definitely recommend this watch for the price. You can find and pay more for added features but for me it wasn't necessary.
