HI just bought the S40 and cant wait to try it out on a golf course,watch looks nice and hope it will meet my expectations ,my only problem is with the watch strap its very rubbery and hard to inset in the 2 little rubber bands,I wish there was an extra watch strap easier to use

Hard to use while playing
on April 13, 2022
Posted by: Bob K.
There are some features I like -- particularly how far you have hit each shot. But trying to use that feature while playing is somewhat difficult. In my case, when I go to hit the club I used it often uses the wrong club (clumsy finger?). And then you have to use the app to correct those clubs (assuming you can remember what club you used). Also, just today, the watch kept vibrating telling me my phone was disconnected?? I never connected it so I don't know what is happening. But it was very annoying trying to play with the vibration. In conclusion I feel the watch has not lived up to my expectations.

I bought my s40 2 years ago but it stopped working a week ago. A quick chat with the support team on line and I was sent a brand new replacement without any fuss. The watch is all
You’d ever need on the course and the customer service from Garmin is second to none.

Battery just died within 9 - 10 months
on August 9, 2024
Posted by: Ram Gambia
Dear Garmin
I just bought the Fenix 7 Solar Pro. But my review is about the S40 Approach I bought last year. I received and registered it in February 2023. About 5 months ago my S40 started playing up and the battery just stated dying on me... initially would barely last a round.. and since 2 months ago , not even half an hour!!!
However I did like the Approach, and saw that you had a solar Fenix with much longer batter life offered with many other options and have just picked up this fenix solar 7 pro .. will review it in a few months. GARMIN, PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY 2023 S40 APPROACH??
