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.

Vodafone V-Kids Watch – Good idea, poor execution

Son loves his new smart watch. Well made, location accuracy not always the best but my iphone xs max is sometimes off too. The general location coupled with voice notification should be enough if we needed to local our son. Worthy purchase if you can buy it on offer like i did. Not to sure it’s worth the full rrp. Setup isn’t straightforward so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. Once the product is all set up it really is a good piece of kit, it takes little time to go through the process with the vodafone sim but it is worth doing. It is easy to voice message and gives me peace of mind with the sos function built in, the games are a good feature to keep the little one entertained. The gps tracking works well with the vodafone signal and no problems so far. Love this, it’s a brilliant well designed product but the battery life is very disappointing. Esta muy bien, yo se lo he comprado a mis hijos y es casi exactoen la posición aunque podrian mejorar la interface e incluso

Motast Smart Watch : Works exactly as you would expect

Bought this watch as a gift for hubby, and it is keeping him very happy. Not only it looks good (and very handsome) on his wrist, the battery life is long enough, he has so far only charged once when it first arrived, and it has been going strong ever since. Have yet to try the other functions, but to be honest, for us, the good look and long battery life is the two most important factors when comes to choosing a watch. Loloverall, very happy with this purchase, highly recommend it. I loved itarrived in brilliant condition and the very next day after i brought it too, arriving in a sturdy solid box making it very secure and safe from any knocks and bruisesi bought this beautiful watch for my husband. He had expensive smart watch before but get broken. I really was thinking i will get chip one now temporarily and late buy different. But now my husband love his watch so much.
