Garmin Approach S60, Premium GPS Golf Watch with Touchscreen Display and Full Color CourseView Mapping, Black w/ Silicone Band
- Very accurate, easy to see while golfing. Still working on being able to use all its features.
- One of the reasons I bought the S60 was the watch feature. I wear it all the time. It\'s bigger than most watches, but not heavy. Battery life is good.It comes with 15 pages of instructions if that tells you anything. Of course the Golf features is the main reason I bought it. Takes some getting used to, but the basic yardage, scoring and changing course views is pretty easy-to-use. I have used the timer, alarm, pedometer, stop watch and find them useful. Only real issue is connecting to Garmin Connect App. It\'s probably operator error. If you are looking for more than a GPS..you should like the S60.
- Worked fine for about 2 years, now will not last more than 9 holes even on an executive course.Unfortunately my window to return has expired. Garmin offer a refurbished for a few of course.
- This replaces my old gamin that the strap broke.Old watch the strap was not able to be replaced.That is why I purchased this one.This model is a bit more complicated. I liked the simplicity of my last watch but didn’t want to have the strap break again.I would prefer a simple watch that shows yardage and that the strap can be replaced. But that does not exist.
- Is the s62 better? Probably. But if this is still 260, it is absolutely the best gadget for a golfer to have on their wrist.The bad? Here goes. It’s not winning any beauty contests. To keep it light it’s hard plastic. The battery isn’t that great, I only wear it golfing and I keep it plugged in with it’s proprietary cable. In gps golf mode it will drain 20% doing 9 holes. It has missed a swing here or there. You can only edit what club you used later in app and that is not fun, but doable. I had one issue where it drained itself one night after I unlplugged it and once it didn’t want to turn on. Searching for gps satellites takes a long time to do. For some reason you need two apps on your phoneBut for a second, pretend you thought, yes, but it’s 260 bucks. And you bought it. You plug it in to charge, it takes forever to turn on, you link it your phone, you set up your clubs, and you watch a YouTube video on what settings to turn on in the golf app.You go play. You walk up to the tee, you quickly move the flag using your touchscreen and you are almost if not as accurate as guy using rangefinder. You choose your club and after swinging touch the watch to tell it what club you used. Every club but putting. And you do your his for every club. At the end of your match, it syncs with your phone and you have beautiful full color pictures of every hole and how you hit. It starts tracking your handicap. It tracks your club distances (and you can access this from your phone). Your scorecards, all on your phone for forever. You can go back and look at pictures. Screenshots to text your friends. No guessing what your 160 yard club is.If you golf a lot, you should own one of these. Period.
- I have had this same watch for a couple years now and love it so, I got this one for my husband to replace his old one. I like that the yardage is real feel, it shows what each hole looks like in color, gives distance to hazards and keeps score among other functions This watch is easy to use which is important for my husband. The only issue I have found with it is the battery life especially on an overcast day. The battery will last for a 5-5 1/2 hour game but don\'t forget to take it out of golf mode when you are done or the battery will die quickly
- I am hereby retracting my original review, altho leaving it\'s text below as a reminder to be honest and humble. While I was originally very disappointed with this watch, half of that disappointment was easily fixed after receiving quick support from Garmin. And over the course of the years since, I\'ve used this watch and found that its functionality, while occasionally a bit finicky, is probably what the company promised and thankfully quite useful on the golf course. As I may have noted before, I think Garmin is a fine company and have actually bought their lower priced model as gifts for friends 5 times, but to show you the extent to which i am retracting my original review, if I had to replace my watch, i would very likely just purchase the same model again. So, go ahead and buy this watch.Original review:Do not buy this watch.I\'ve owned this watch for over a year now and have been thinking about writing a review which a) warns consumers not to buy this watch but b) consider buying the Garmin S20, but the performanc of this watch warrants a strict Don\'t Buy review. When I was originally considering buying a golf watch, I presumed I just needed a yardage measurement function, but the marketing verbiage described a watch which could do all sorts of interesting things, perfect for the avid golfer who wants more apps and statistics to measure progress. But two problems exist: first, some of the functionality - for example, swing speed measurement - isnt included in the actual watch and requires either other purchases or other apps which sounded way too complicated to bother with (and I generally like gadgets). BUT THE UNFORGIVABLE THING is that the watch just isnt reliable. I have played 4 rounds this year, and in the first round at the Presidio in San Francisco, the watch just stopped working at the 5th hole. No matter how many times I tried to advance the function, or restart the golf mode, or even turn the watch off and on, it just kept stuck at the 5th hole. And then 2 weeks ago, I was playing in New Jersey, and the golf functionality wouldnt even turn on, again after turning the watch off and on and actually rebooting the watch MULTIPLE TIMES. So, I spent several hundred dollars on a watch which just cant give me the simple distance to the green when i need it. This is completely unacceptable.Before my first round of the year I was prepared to write a review saying \"dont buy the S60 but think about the S20\" because I had bought the S20 for 2 golfing friends over the holidays and they both seemed happy with it after their first round. But the performance this year is so bad, I think it would be wrong to suggest to golfers that any Garmin golf watch is a safe purchase.
