Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Smartwatch

Easy navigation superb on a golf course and great for health record tracking

I was unsure of whether I would like the watch, even concerned on how it would feel during play. All of that changed once I got to the course. It really becomes part of you, to the point of not even feeling it, which I attribute to the band. It's awesome being able to see distance to hazards including Front, Middle and Back of the green. In the past with my rangefinder I would only shoot the flag which was not always the best choice. Now I know when to club up to ensure that I make GIR! I'm still adjusting to the features, especially when you play holes out of sequence but that will come in time. Great watch, enjoying the step feature along with heart rate. Temperature and Sunrise and Sunset are also cool. Plus its good looking as an everyday watch. Lastly, the battery has proven to be long lasting.

I am really looking fwd. to the new S70....I hope the new features really help.

i recently bought this watch and am still learning how it functions. The instruction manual isn't completely transparent and on the course I have trouble going back to a previous hole when I forget to score it or need to correct the score. Simply navigating around isn't easy. There doesn't seem to be a button to correct a mistake. The concepts are great and distances fairly accurate according to my Bushnell range finder. I suspect this will be a very good addition to my game when I learn how to use it.

I traded my S60 for the S62. I loved my S60, and the S62 is even better. Nice upgrade. It has everything I need and a lot more!

I've had this watch for several years now. The distances are always accurate and the course diagrams are very true to life

Love the watch. What a great upgrade from the S60 this has been.

I’ve owned it for a couple of years and the watch has become part of my required equipment. I’ve come to rely on it every round.

Love my S62 for golf, however, it seems to only collect my sleep data “when it darn well feels like it”. Very frustrating

This is my second S62. I enjoy the watch's features. It does a good job of balancing golf focused with other daily and activity features. When my watch face cracked straight across, I utilized the refurb trade in. Since receiving the watch, I am struggling to update the software. I think the watch from a watch aspect (robustness of watch, robustness of watch software running locally -on the watch, usability, etc.) are all really high, but the software updating platform is not as user friendly. I have iPhones and an iPad, some Chromebook, and a work PC that is locked for security purposes, which is a common situation, and there are no options to update the out of box preloaded software. The help solution is to find someone else to use their PC, which is not a very customer friendly option.

I have the S62 and the Z30 range finder - they work great together although pin location is not always 100% accurate - can't wait to pair with the club CT10 sensors (on order)

Bought month ago. Still does great working conditions.

I like the ability to track my shot distance. I like the idea of tracking distance to a spot on the course but I find it very hard to arrow in on a particular spot. It occasionally jumps to a hole other than the one I am playing. That probably happens about once per round. I usually syncs automatically with my iPhone or iPad except when it doesn't. When it doesn't it takes a lost of screwing around to get it to sync.

I bought this as both a golf watch and a workout watch. The golf aspects are great. However, using it on a treadmill, the distance travel is inaccurate. I have used the calibration feature to set the miles while using on treadmill as well as resetting the watch to factory specs. Neither has resulted in accurate distance while on treadmill

I received this watch 3 years ago as a gift and up until a week ago it was great. Then the touch screen stopped working. I attempted fixes that were on the Garmin sire, but nothing worked. So now I have a golf watch which can tell time but is useless for it's intended purpose. Quite a disappointment.

First S62 I bought, I sent it back, it quit working, it locked up, Garmin was good about replacing it even though it was about 4 weeks past the warranty. The replacement I got was a refurbished one, it is very slow to find golf courses, sometimes it doesn't find them at all, sometimes I'm on the second or third hole and it hasn't found the course yet. And it doesn't give correct yardage sometimes, it's pretty slow when looking at the yardage it's still changing the numbers or calculating, most of the time it gives the right yardage but sometimes it can be as much as 40 yds. off, my son bought the same exact watch as me and his works great, we go by his yardage and not mine sometimes, and his S62 finds the same courses that we play while mine is still trying to locate the course two holes later. I wish I could give it a better review than this.

Received my Garmin for Christmas but didn't get to use it until mid-January. Compared to my Shotscope, the satellite connection seemed faster and more accurate (based on golf cart GPS). However, the watch functions were more difficult to use. Perhaps because accessing the features are new to me. I do like seeing the entire hole laid out in color with distances to hazards. This is my 3rd distance finding device.

This watch is the best smartwatch I've ever owned. Loving all of its features. Can't wait to try it out on the course.

Xmas gift. Downloaded app, called help line, no solid answer. The watch is syncing to my phone. I am getting email/ text message notifications to watch. Gotta stop it. How to fix?
