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.

Motorola Moto 360 Sport Smartwatch – – Five Stars

The moto 360 sport is my first smart watch which i have used daily for two weeks. I had pre ordered with amazon and had a great deal with the usual high standard of posting. My main reasoning for getting this was to be able to run and listen to music without a need of a phone. As noted by another review, when i first went running the music skipped continually and the gps distance was out by nearly a km. Not the best start for my wants. Conversely, during this time i found the weight and look if he watch more and more appealing. Some of the gimmicks such as heart rate,messages,emails,what’s app and steps app being shown was beneficial. The strongest benefit being the ingenuis idea of when charging the phone it becames a sidebed clock. Unknowingly i had began to rely on the watch day to day when i had only purchased it for weekly running. After 10 days i began to have an intermittent message stating moto body had to be stopped. I was entranced by the thought of being able to tell my wa...
