  • Good watch with a couple of problems.
Color: Gunmetal Ceramic Bezel and Black Silicon... Style: Smartwatch
I ended up returning the watch because of a few problems. First, the good.... It uses very little battery. You can definitely get three rounds of golf in on a single charge (about 25% per round, so a fourth round would push it), and the color screen is great compared to my old Approach S20. There are three problems I have with the watch: 1. For a right-handed player like me, the button on the side is easily pushed by the bending of the wrist during the golf swing, so it puts you in the menu inadvertently. 2. About 3-4 times per round, it won't record a swing, especially a drive. I don't know if it's just my particular watch or this model, but I keep golf stats including driving distance, and I have to guess at it sometimes. 3. There are times when certain hazards won't show up in the hazard list, and it doesn't always show the start and end of each hazard like the S20 did. I've decided I'm going with the S62 which shows the entire hole and seems to be more consistent capturing swings. ... show more

  • Works Well Though Challenging To Set-Up, and Has Some Quirks
Color: Gunmetal Ceramic Bezel and Black Silicon... Style: Smartwatch
I'm a professional caddie, and need a reliable, accurate GPS watch which doesn't go wonky during my loop. Although this is the most accurate of the 4 or 5 Golf GPS watches I've owned, it also has some annoying quirks. Here's my list of Pro and Con attributes of the Garmin Approach S42: Pro: 1. The Approach S42 is by far the most accurate of any GPS watch I've ever used. I've compared yardages to both sprinkler head and laser rangefinder readings, and it's dead on. This is especially helpful when I'm caddying at someplace other than my home course for a USGA tournament or qualifier. During a practice round, I can make notes in my yardage book knowing that the distances are 100% good. 2. I'm able to caddie for 36 consecutive holes and still have plenty of battery charge left. 3. The readout is very visible in every light condition, and the graphics are razor sharp. 4. The watch band is comfortable and fits over shirt, pullover, and rain jacket sleeves. CON: 1. Initial Set-Up was a painful experience. Included instruction manual isn't well-written, and lacks sufficient detail. 2. This watch is NOT good during a rainy golf round, unless set to lock screen all the time. When worn under the sleeve of my rain jacket, the GPS signal is blocked, and it starts defaulting to weird screens, like a close-up of the green when I'm still 200 yards out. Even worse, I have a heck of a time getting the watch to go back to the regular yardages screen. When I wear it outside of my jacket sleeve, the raindrops cause the touchscreen to change randomly. I've had to set the watch to automatically lock during the round, which makes it slow to display yardages to hazards...but that doesn't matter much, as I explain below. 3. I'm not a fan of the way this watch shows distances to hazards, as it includes bunkers, etc, on adjacent fairways which aren't in play. I've stopped using this feature as a result, instead relying on my yardage book and laser sighting, or memory on my home course. 4. I wish that this watch showed the time on the screen during the round. It's a pain to switch screens, when all I need is a quick glance to see how our group's pace of play is going. Plus sometimes when I switch to another screen, it won't go back to the regular yardage screen. 5. The Bluetooth linkage with my computer and mobile phone was erratic, randomly choosing to display text message or email alerts sometimes, and then nothing 5 minutes later. I have noticed improvement after I switched to a higher-end iPhone with a lot more memory and battery capacity. To be honest, this isn't an essential feature for me. Bottom Line: If there was a way to have this GPS watch's amazing accuracy, easily-readable face, and comfortable band without all of the not-so-helpful features, plus display the time during the round, and work effectively in stormy weather, I'd be a happy caddie! (NOTE: I've owned lower-end models of Garmin golf GPS watches, and they've lacked the outstanding accuracy of this model. I'm willing to put up with the quirks, because precise yardages are much more important than anything else to me.) ... show more

  • Pretty good
Color: Silver Ceramic Bezel and White Silicone ... Style: Smartwatch
The battery drains kinda quickly when Bluetooth is connected, I can only get in 2 18 hole games without charging. It's hard to see the face/numbers if it's sunny out. It's stylish & the band is comfortable. I do recommend this nice mid-level golf watch

it gets lost or sometimes drops back a hole and you can get misinformation.

  • LOVE IT!
Color: Gunmetal Ceramic Bezel and Black Silicon... Style: Smartwatch
I absolutely love the watch. Very very happy with the purchase. The battery life is my favorite part about it. It is nice not having to plug it in every single night. The distances are spot on. Only thing I wish was different (maybe you can change it but I canโ€™t figure it out) but I wish you could choose which notifications go to the watch. I love the texts and phone calls but I hate when I get notifications from other apps on it (Facebook, Instagram, etcโ€ฆ). Overall though, the watch meets every expectation as it should!! Itโ€™s also very easy to set up when you get to the course! ... show more
