I did buy this equipment two month ago, all the features are working fine except by the golf feature. The GPS non have the accuracy I had with the S60 I did have before.

Good golf watch but………

I recently upgraded to the s62 from a very old s6. The larger screen and advanced features make this a great golf watch. Struggling with the time it takes to pick up a satellite though, the s6 was instantly where it’s taken the s62 upwards of 15-20 minutes to connect, not sure why!? Also I’m guessing that this watch wants to compete with let’s say an Apple Watch but is all the extra crap really necessary if your buying it for golf yardage? My pulse ox has never helped me make birdies. As stated before it is a nice watch but the satellite time and all the extras don’t make it a great watch in my opinion.

Have been wearing it now over a year and it has helped me on the golf course. Make the right club choice is a plus with the caddie feature.

LONG LASTING BATTERY

Have used this new Garmin for about a month. I do not wear it all the time, so it is shut down when not in use. BUT, I have played three (3) rounds so far without recharging the battery! With the larger face it is easier to read than the S60 it replaced. Worth the money.

Overall satisfied

My third garmin watch. Overall a great easy to use product which is accurate and helpful
The same problem persists as with the others. On occasion it looses its location and is difficult to get back to the hole being played
Despite that I highly recommend the watch

Nice watch but....

I use the 62 for golf 100% of the time. It is a daily watch as well, typical and exercising (bike).
There are quirks. The GPS for distances are nice.... Front, mid, rear, plays like, and I really like distance from tee shot (as you approach your ball after the tee shot).
The Caddie is a great reinforcement of club selection. However, the editing of clubs and longest drives is a PIA pain n butt.
the GPS after an update was weird, but has settled down now. Also, one time it would not find the satellite and I had to use my backup Golf Buddy.
I love the reviewing of shots on home computer, and the historical data of shots.
The price point is high for the watch IMHO. Apple Watch is adding great golf technology and is maybe better now. I do worry about obsolescence .... Garmin has decent support,
Garmin needs to communicate and respond to major queries .

A little disappointed.

Posted by: Nina1101
I do not like that there is not other activity as a generic activity to use for example like when I am bowling. Also I do not like how you can not add a pre text that you can add your self. My other watches had this feature. I do however love the golf features and that is what I bought it for.
