Nice for golf, not for other activities

I purchased this recently, and have used it for one round. I like the golf features and the battery life. I had previously been using the Vivoactiv 3. My thought was the Approach S44 would replace my older watch, but I learned I have made a mistake. The Approach S44 does not have a heart rate sensor, so it will not be useful for other fitness activities, such as running or sleep monitoring. I did not research properly before making my purchase. I should have chosen the Approach S50 instead.

I bought this watch to replace my S40. A huge improvement! Better graphics, better functionality, and works!

I had an Approach S60 and swapped out for the S44! Best decision ever “easy to navigate and ideal for my needs”!

I had a very old Garmin golf watch and it finally "was done". So I checked out several golf watches, as there are many out there, now. I still bought a new Garmin Approach S44 and I love it! Very easy to get set up and it charges up quickly. Love it.
