After hours of poring over reviews and videos, I finally acquired the Garmin S50 smart watch. I have had zero issues during its setup and use. It’s accurate, extremely light, gorgeous and fun to use. In fact, three of my golf buddies have since purchased one for themselves. I’ve only explored 20% of the S50’s capabilities but so far I’m 100% satisfied.

I got this about 3 weeks ago, love it. Still learning all of the features, but the accuracy is great after checking my rangefinder for the first few rounds. In addition, the health monitoring is a fantastic bonus.

This watch easily keeps track of everything I need for golf, as well as my fitness activity. I only need to charge it about once a week which is a huge plus.

great golf watch, velcro band a joke!

updated from Garmin s40. many additional golf features plus health data. Unfortunately the 'Velcro" band is a good idea but apparently sized for a child's wrist. You have to completely pull the end of the band from the loop and try to reinsert through the loop while trying to hold it around your wrist. A simple fix would have been to add 3/4" or 1" length to the band!!

We have several band options available on our website here: http://ms.spr.ly/6428sQWjQ
These will all work with the Approach s40.

Great approach watch for 5 to 10 handicappers

After three rounds of golf, I noticed that I needed a little bit more detail therefore I traded it in for a S 70 which fits my needs. I am a four index looking to get to a three at 72 years old. I needed something that can detail my length of each club. Also the benefit of a caddy.
