Garmin Approach S60 : Great hold aid

Looks great – can’t wait to use it.

The best golf watch on the market, but expensive and battery life not great.

Watch on golf course good, however satellite seemed to disappear for a while. Software on scoring for pc needs a lot of refinement as impossible to edit scores after syncing.

Prefer using scope in the end. Glad i did not pay full price.

It’s very accurate, i like the scoring and scorecard upload features. However it causes an itchy rash on my wrsit. Think it is a nickel rash – there must be a decent amount of nickel in the type of stainless steel used. Oh for a hypoallergenic wrist strap. Have stopped wearing it daily (it’s a nice looking wristwatch) and only use it now for golf worn over a sweatband. If you just want the gps functionality and not the other bells and whistles, maybe the s40 is better value.

A great aid to my golf and also looks great with multi coloured straps available to match any outfit i happens to be wearing.

Great product, easy to use and really gives you a good idea of your game and how you play.

My son loves this watch which we bought him as a gift.

  • Purchase process good. Operation could be better especially on software.

  • This watch is better than I thought it would be

  • Glad I did not pay full price

I use both as a golfwatch and ordinary. Nice that you can change watchface so easy.

Bought a fenix 5s from amazon – loved the watch but couldn’t get the garmin connect software on the phone to connect to the watch, so sent if back (i’ve posted a review on the fenix 5s review page). As a regular golfer i bought the s60 instead and so far it has worked very well. It works fine although the bluetooth connection is lost more often than it should be, although that is only a problem if you want regular notifications (i find them a pain). It seems to sync ok whenever i connect. The golf app is brilliant – better than anything i’ve seen before and i’ve not really scratched the surface on what it can do yet. I’ve used it for running and cycling and it works just as well as my garmin vivoactive hr. It looks really good – i’m using it as my regular watch now. Very expensive though probably worth it. Hopes it keeps working ok as garmin has a bit of a reputation with dodgy software updates. Amazon service excellent as always.

This watch is better than i thought it would be. Not only does it give me a great advantage knowing the distance i need to hit my next shot in golf but as a versatile training aid for my triathlons. (swim, cycle and running logs).

Having primarily purchased the watch for golf and running, i have found myself wearing it day to day. Apart from being stylish, it can be used as a smart watch to a point. Receiving texts and phone calls etc. As a golf watch, it is as good as you will get anywhere on the market. Yardage’s for anywhere on the golf course are spot on and easy to identify. You also enter putts and fairways hit. A couple of downsides to the watch are that you can not pull overall data over different rounds such as average drives, fairways hit, or missed to what side. Also, and this is the main reason i was attracted to the purchase, the auto shot tracker could definitely do with tweaking. Tracking driving distance is generally spot on but as the watch doesn’t track where you are in the green for approach shots or sometimes doesn’t pick up chip shots, it can be hard to get the distance irons are going, which is a big downside. The golf app on the phone could do with some renewing as the course maps are pretty dated.

YONMIG Smart Watch : Excellent easy to set up

Very nice smart watch that connected to my ios 13 iphone 8 with no problems, easily displays txt messages and incoming calls, love howlong the strap is, as most smart watches have a very short strap this is definitely made for the bigger wrist screen is bright and touch is responsive. Seems well made and strong, has many faces to choose from inc an analog watch face, watch takes about 1 to 2 hrs to charge buts lasts 4 to 7 days depending on how much your using it for calls and txts , great watch love it . The smart watch arrived quickly (was ordered via prime) and was neatly packaged in a little box. The watch must be charged before use in order to activate it – i was a bit confused about how the charger worked, but once i got there, it was easy. It’s like a magnet at the back of the watch, and the charger sticks – which was quite interesting and was easier than faffing around with a charger port in such a small devicei’ve used many fitness trackers in the past, notably fitbits (which...

INIUPO Kids Smartwatch : A++++++

My 6 year old son loves this watch. Charging and adding music is so simple. The battery holds its charge brilliantly for days. The option to add 10 contacts is great as well. The strap is very soft and comfortable to wear. I bought the gifgaf 2g sim card and it works perfectly. Nought for my son and he absolutely like it. The strap is soft and the screen is very clear. Battery life is good but he keeps fiddling with watch so it drains the battery a bit early. Apart from that, happy with the purchase.
