Great Features
The watch meets all my expectations. Great battery life. Also got the Garmin Golf app. I can now select shot position and get green contours on my watch. Like the full hole layout on the watch for hazards and doglegs. Very happy with it so far.

Disappointment with the Garmin Approach S50
I hesitated for some time before purchasing the Approach S70, but ultimately decided against it because it seemed to have too many features and was too expensive. Instead, I chose the S50, which I believed offered simpler functionality at a more reasonable price.

However, when I took the S50 out for my first round of golf, I found that the course view was not display...

Great watch for on the course!
I'm happy with the watch on the golf course and as a health tracker. However, I do wish that it had more features for golf training. You'd think a golf watch would have a tempo trainer and keep up with swings in a practice session!

Love it. So comfortable and accurate. What a great way to get yardage without having to deal with a range finder

Great features for the price
I bought this a couple weeks ago and I like all the features. I used to have a Apple Watch and a Garmin S20 for golf. Now I have all or most of the features I had with the Apple Watch and I don't have to swap it out for golf. The Golf features are easy to use and the Garmin golf App is a nice feature to review your round.

good watch
i bought this watch to replace my S42, which was a very good watch. 2 buttons was something i had to get used to, but otherwise easy to use.

Love this watch
I bought a S 50 golf watch for my wife for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. We went golfing a week later and it happened to be foggy. I tried using my range finder and it would not give me a distance because of the fog. My wife looked over at me and gave me the yardage from her new watch. That was it. I bought myself a S50 watch and love it also.

Pleased with Garmin S50
I have retina disease which is progressing and makes it difficult for me to use my range finder. The Gramin S50 has been a godsend for me. The color screen is clear and waste for me to see. I know my iron distances very well and the Garmin S50 makes it easy to hit my target. Thank you for a great product.

My S50 Approach Watch
I got this as a birthday gift and I love it. It seems to have all the features and more that a golfer wants. I only wish they would have included a summary guide in the box to remind me of all its possible features. GARMIN support is a big positive here.

Garmin could do better with the wrist band
I love the S50, but Garmin made the wrist band too short. I have average sized hands and find it very difficult to get the band over my hand. I think Garmin just wants you to spend more money on a new, larger wrist band.

First smartwatch
Bought this for two reasons. As I've got older, keeping track of health factors has crept into my daily routines. This watch clicks all the Boxes for that portion. Second is the Golf portion..Seeing I live in NY, I have yet to try this on the course, but am looking forward to trying it out. I'm sure I will not be disappointed.

Watch is great but...
The watch is great and works well with the CT1 but there are some backend issues that are frustrating.
1. GPS location is about 20-30 feet off (Hawaii) so it make the putter tracking almost useless because my location is never on the green.
2. The Garmin golf app. The more I use it, the more it disappoints. If the app allowed my to move my shot location to the gree...

Love it!
This watch is awesome! I have an Apple Watch that could never make it through a round of golf without the battery dying. This can make it through several, with ease. I originally purchased an S44, but I liked it so much more than my Apple Watch that I wanted a more feature packed Garmin and exchanged for this. I’ve been loving the PlaysLike distances compared to what I’...

Great Golf GPS
I really enjoy many aspects of the watch for golf. I also wanted it for playing my music when I run. I haven't been able to try that yet, but it seems a bit complicated to get that all set up.
