Garmin Approach S40, Stylish GPS Golf Smartwatch, Lightweight With Touchscreen Display, White/Light Gold
- I bought this watch as a beginner golfer to help me track how far I hit my clubs so I could start learning what club to use for what distance. For that purpose, it is excellent, but it will take several rounds of use for it to collect enough data to give you average distances. Also, if you are a beginner, and suck like most of us, your mishits will throw your averages off. But after a year of use, I find the watch very useful now to measure distance from the flag, and also to check yardages to water hazards and bunkers.A great value add with this watch is the ability to see your stats (drive and approach) on Garmin Connect. That requires you to sync the watch with a laptop, and it is very buggy with the Macbook. I\'ve had to call customer service a few times (a lot in the beginning), and even so, it will still miss entire rounds (as it just did today, and which prompted me to finally write this review). I use a USB to USB-C adapter because the Macbook does not have a USB port. I don\'t know if that is the source of the problem, but it is extremely annoying to lose entire rounds. It doesn\'t happen often -- once every 10 rounds or so -- but when it does, it\'s very frustrating. Apart from that, no complaints.Battery life is great. I can usually do two full 18-hole rounds on one charge. If you leave the phone in a drawer the rest of the time like I do, the battery will last about 10 days or so.
- Christmas gift for my wife. She loves it so far!!
- I have been eyeing GPS devices for golf for at least a year now. Was worried about the size of this watch style on my small wrist but I found it to be comfortable and stylish. (I am 4\'11\".) I would love to wear it for my everyday watch but the battery life is an issue. For the golf course it is so handy to use. I love the feature of moving the pin on the green to get a more accurate distance. Now if my golf game could match the GPS capability. I also love that it keeps your scores and counts your steps. Wish I would have purchased it long ago.
- ok buy
- I liked it when it worked and not when it didn’t. As others have said, charging is terrible. It detaches extremely easily and has to constantly be charged. Now, after a year and one month, it no longer charges at all. Waste of money and I’ll be looking at a different brand to replace this one.
- it takes to long to sync to course. It loses the hole that you are on easily. The yardage works great. Really only using for yardage now. NOTE - it does work well on small wrists.
- I am good at the computer but had difficulty connecting to my phone. Operator error not Garmin\'s fault. I call the support line and immediately connect with Erick. He was so knowledgeable and had patience. He discovered something in my phone that was stopping the connecting. Just great to have a phone number to rely on
- I bought this for my wife. I use Arccos sensors and app. My wife wanted something that would work similarly. The issue is, it doesn\'t do a very good job of picking up your swing. And its hard to use. You have to sit down and spend a lot of time trying to figure it out, and there aren\'t any clear concise instructions or even any how to videos on youtube. So basically your left wasting two or three games of golf on a course you paid for, messing with the thing. Oh and the battery life kinda sucks. The additional features like the things that are supposed to count steps and such are useless, as they don\'t use any actual sensors to determine if your really walking like a pedometer would. Instead they just go by GPS distance, so you take a ride in your car and it says you walked 20k steps...Anyway, though these have a ton of great reviews for being a neat \"gadget\" I don\'t find it to be of any actual value on the golf course. There are a ton of phone apps out there that are way cheaper and do the same thing. Its just not worth the money.
