Great watch very accurate

I bought the watch a couple weeks ago and is very easy to use and doesn't require much effort. I do think it's helping my game. Also like the health features. I had an Apple Watch and I like this much better.

Complicated

I bought this watch about a month ago and have worn or used it on several occasions.
This watch is too complicated with more features I can use.

The Watch delivers

I’ve had the watch for a month. It does everything I had hoped for. Some of the golf features are not really intuitive and it has a learning curve.
Overall, it’s been a good purchase

I bought this a month ago and love it! Exactly what I was looking for. Great for running, even better for golf! I’d purchase this again.

Crashes during round all the time
on June 5, 2025
Posted by: Piyapong
S50 crashes during golf round every time, several times actually in one round. The map shots/distance also cannot be saved. I ended up able to save the map shots only 1-2 holes per round. I did update the watch until there is no update available and also update maps with Gamin shop assistant, and reset / factory reset the watch as well. It still crashed during my last golf round two days ago.

The smart stuff doesn't help very much. Would have been better off getting a simpler model that just tells front, middle, back, or get the s70. This model requires a subscription to get the green slopes that I wanted. It came with a cheap wristband and charging cable. On the plus side the Garmin support was good. They sent me a better wrist band and charging cable that had a standard USB connection for free.

very accurate and easy to use

comfortable, easy to use and seems pretty accurate. Doesn't get affected with rain or fog like a distance meter.
Only issue is the band is very small. I have larger hands and it is a struggle to slide the band over my hand. The band is comfortable but needs to be 1/2" bigger
