Great upgrade!

Purchased the S-44 after years of the S-12 watch. Out of the box you can tell it's an upgrade. The functions are easy to use and the battery life can't be beat.

Pretty easy to use. Screen is easy to see. The touch screen is not very sensitive. Hard to navigate .

More features!

Has more features than the Approach 12 I was using. I like that it sends me messages and notifications from my iPhone. It also shows how many steps I’ve taken. It would be nice to have it provide heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen.

Received for Christmas and have played golf a couple of times and it’s great. The S44 is smart, I still have lots to learn.

Received S44 for Christmas. Now no more guessing… any yardage. No more asking the other players… what’s the yardage.

Game Improvement Watch!

Got the S44 for Christmas from my wife and have used it everytime I have played since(a considerable amount of games). The watch has a great look and comfortable low profile feel at the perfect size. The features I like the most are the real time distance to flag, easy score keeping, and hole/hazard layout. Forget your range finder, you won't need it. Everytime we have compared distance using my golf buddies very nice range finder, the S44 was exactly on the dot. Makes club selection almost to easy. The scoring is amazing as well, I don't even use the scorecard anymore. Great value, easy to see in full sun, full featured smart watch for golf. Can't go wrong with the S44!
