GarminApproach S62, Premium Golf GPS Watch, Built-in Virtual Caddie

Nice watch

Shipped it to Argentina and it works just perfectly to the point that it almost replaced the laser usage for most of my shots. Battery life extremely superior to any other smartwatch as it can last over a week despite using it for golf gps.

Muy bueno

I absolutely love my new watch. It's excellent for helping your golf game and good-looking enough to be worn as an everyday watch. It's a little on the pricy side, but it's worth the price.

I’m a 13 handicap and I’ve had this watch for a while now. I’m 25 rounds in with the watch and I also have a nice watch tan to show for it. I honestly don’t know how accurate the distances are on this thing (probably pretty accurate), but it was very humbling to see my driver distances after every round. I love how it tracks every shot and saves it along with your score card for every course you play so that you can refer back to it at any time. I was never really big on data, more of a feel player, but this watch helped me understand and analyze my game from a different perspective. Garmin claims to have over 41,000 courses preloaded on this thing and I must say that I haven’t had any hiccups with any of the courses I’ve played so far, including a few courses in a different country. This is my first “smart watch” and I’m not a super smart watch user but it tracks the basics I need like heart rate and sleep. The interface on this watch is pretty simple but some of the options like workouts, alarm clock, etc. are a bit cumbersome to get to via the “Play Golf” screen. If you need phone controls/notification integration, this watch isn’t the watch for you, I didn’t really need those features, so it didn’t affect my experience much. One thing I do LOVE about the watch though is its battery life! This thing goes daysss before it needs a charge. All in all the watch makes it easy to track and analyze your golf games when you play and easy to tell the time while reminding you of your last round when you’re not.

There is a bit of a learning curve while getting this awesome watch set up. Considering how powerful the S62 is that shouldn't be a surprise. Once I got the local courses installed and actually hit the links things went great. It didn't take very long to locate my course and identify the holes and distances. The display while playing is stellar. I always know the distances from my lie to the front, center, and back of the green. This is great for shot selection.This is not only a superb golf appliance, it's also a great sports watch. There are lots of available faces available, so finding the perfect one just takes a bit of browsing. It also synced up with my phone, so I'm getting messages as I go. Perhaps the best feature of all is the long battery life. I've used several quality digital watches, but this S62 is vastly better. My last watch needed recharging every day, so I ended up swapping between two different watches, just to make sure I had one that was charged. With the S62 I find that I only need to charge the watch about once per week. I appreciate this a great deal.The watch is also capable of club selection suggestions via the Caddy feature. It requires several rounds to build up the necessary database. I am looking forward to reaching that point soon. If only the weather will cooperate. Yes, the watch is highly water resistant too.

This is my 4th Garmin golf watch and it’s the best of them all. I’ve only had it 2 days and played 1 round of golf, I’m in love! The accuracy is amazing, the course I played had gps on the cart and the Garmin was spot on, matching the cart gps almost exact on every hole. I’ve only dipped my toe in the water on the other functionally it offers. It really is a smart watch as well. There are literally hundreds of watch faces that can be downloaded from the connect iq app that show just about anything you want to see. I love being able to glance at the watch and see my heart rate, weather, battery %, steps and of course the date and time and more! I couldn’t be happier, it’s well worth the extra $. And btw, the touchscreen to add score and access the other functions is a breeze. 😀

I recently bought the S62 having previously owned the S40. I was interested in some additional golf functionality in particular the caddie aspect of indicating what club should be used. I have only played four rounds with the watch but it already is providing club selection. I find the accuracy of its distance designation to very good. I also enjoy viewing the entire round on the Garmin app. I haven’t explored all the other golf functionality but plan to in the future. I did learn one thing important - you must complete and save or end or round - I didn’t do this the GPS system kept running and drained the battery as claiming about 24 hours and not knowing why I almost complained.Love this watch!
