Bought the S50 to replace my vivo hr. Love the Garmin watch, wouldn't want any other fitness watch. It is great.

An upgrade from a Garmin S20, easy to use, great display, tracks steps and mileage, keeps score the HOLE nine yards. Garmin makes this golf watch almost as much fun as the game itself. Love it!

Easy to use and great features.

I upgraded from the approach 12 to the S50. I used my S50 for the first time. It is easy to use and very accurate. One of the best features is that very shot distance is measured automatically. Moving the pin on the green and checking the distance to a bunker or dog leg is easily done on the touch screen.

I just started using the S50 this week. Two rounds in. I use the CT10 shot trackers as well. With the plays like feature and movable pin feature I hardly need to go to my range finder. Loving it so far.

Great watch for on the course!

I'm happy with the watch on the golf course and as a health tracker. However, I do wish that it had more features for golf training. You'd think a golf watch would have a tempo trainer and keep up with swings in a practice session!

The watch meets all my expectations. Great battery life. Also got the Garmin Golf app. I can now select shot position and get green contours on my watch. Like the full hole layout on the watch for hazards and doglegs. Very happy with it so far.

Love it. So comfortable and accurate. What a great way to get yardage without having to deal with a range finder
