  • The S44 is Fantastic
Color: Black Style: S44
***UPDATE JUNE 2025: After four months of using the watch, I've noticed that about one in every five-ish rounds, the S44 watch will randomly reboot in the middle of my round, and I lose all of my shot distance data from the previous holes. Garmin is providing a replacement through the warranty. I will update this review again in a few months if the replacement has the same issue. The S44 is my first golf GPS watch after using just a rangefinder the last few years, and I'll never go back to the rangefinder life. This thing is awesome! I went for the S44 because I'm more of a traditional watch person for day to day life, so I don't need all the extra health-related features. Still, the S44 has a packed amount of golf-specific features. Here are the features that I especially love: -It vibrates to prompt you to select which club you just hit after each shot -After each hole, you can confirm your score for that hole and optionally, you can select if you hit the fairway or left/right, how many putts, and if you had any penalties. You don't have to select that every time, but it helps for being able to see your game stats later -You can easily adjust where the pin is located on the green to get more accurate numbers on the watch -Gives yardages to dogleg holes -Unless you're hitting a 30-footer putt or longer, it doesn't detect your putting swing, but I believe it still approximates where your ball is on the green based on how long you stand in a specific area. So while it won't prompt you to select your putter after you hit a putt, the app will sometimes show you where you were on the green afterwards -I can go through the app after my round to re-live my round hole by hole with the course maps, club selection, and yardage numbers -It's surprisingly lightweight -Does a good job counting steps -The glass screen feels super smooth The watch band is secure and has tons of size options -After one round, the battery only drained about 15%. I have a feeling you could use the S44 for 3 or 4 rounds without needing to recharge Things that could be better: -The fact that Garmin charges a monthly fee to have better course maps and slope is criminal. I know ten bucks a month is not bad, but why charge for that? Why not just include that as an incredible feature built into their watches? They could capture more of the market by not being greedy -I wish I could explore courses in the app before my rounds. Luckily I can just use 18Birdies for this, but it feels like it would be an easy thing to add to the Garmin app too -This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a natural part of the watch: it will vibrate to prompt you to select which club you used even after your practice swings. This feels obvious in hindsight because how would the watch know whether it's your real swing or a practice one. Still, it was a little bit of a mental adjustment to expect the small vibration about 5 seconds after my practice swings too Overall, I love the S44 and I hope it lasts me the next 3 to 5 years at least! Being able to get instant numbers from my watch instead of constantly pulling out the rangefinder has been a game changer. Makes my rounds faster and more strategic. ... show more

  • The problems are fixed. It is now a very good golf watch.
Color: Black Style: S44
UPDATE 07/24/2025: A new version of the System Software for the watch was released about a week ago (version 6.18). It fixed all the issues that I had been having with the watch!! I am upgrading my review to 5 stars and recommending the watch. Kudos to the sofware engineers at Garmin for staying with the problems until solved. It's a shame Garmin released the watch before properly Beta testing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDIT: 07/05/2025 Currently the S44 is a DO NOT BUY. The autoshot feature is not reliable and only works randomly. Without this feature working, you will not be able to track how far you hit your clubs ( Shot Map Function). System Software updat 6.17 was supposed to fix this, but has not. Garmin Rep informs the next System update will, but does not have any idea when. I suspect it is not a software issue, but is instead a poor piece of hardware in the watch. If it is hardware related, it will likely never be corrected. The rep volunteered that the S70 ($700) does not have the issue. If and when the issue is resolved, I will edit this review again with the good news. Until then, do not buy! I like the watch but.... It does almost too much. I replaced my 5 yr old failed S20 with the S44. Different operating method that takes a while to figure out. The manual is only somewhat helpful, it takes intuitive trial and error to fully learn. Youtube is your freind. Otherwise, the watch is a five star. Battery life is nearly as good as the S20, easily get three 18 hole rounds on a charge, and over a week if not golfing. Display is bright enough for a sunny day. The band is an improvement over the S20. EDIT: I think a downgrade to 2 stars or upgrade to 5 stars may be coming. Watch often (always?) drops out of "PLAY GOLF" while playing golf and needs a "Resume" to get back into the round. All data then is lost from before dropping out. Occasionally the gross score will be kept, but gps data is always lost. I've been in contact with customer service and am waiting to see how the issue becomes resolved. (Up to 5* vs down to 2*) ... show more

  • Great watch, horrible band.
Color: Ivory Style: S50
Watch is amazing. Great screen, functionality is nice, yardage is accurate, courses load quickly. Band is terrible, cheap, too short and hard to put on. Makes the watch useless, so plan to order a new band on day 1.

  • love it. doesnt feel like i am wearing it at all but it's invaluable on the course
Color: Slate with Black Band Style: S50
I love this watch. I have a samsung galaxy 8 watch also but i really like having a dedicated golf watch. one button to play with all the courses on the watch w/o having to tether it to my phone is a huge +++. i chose this over the larger s70 and glad i did - it's way better looking and more comfortable - plus you have near feature parity for $100/year subscription - - figure 2.5-3 years i'll have paid the same as the s70 but with a watch i like better.. It does a good job tracking shots. easy to adjust score and count putts. the app is great on the phone to look back and see all your shots and yardages.. really love it and think this or similar watch for golfers is a great game enhancer. ... show more

  • Good value.
Color: Slate with Black Band Style: S50
Watch is accurate, includes most courses (with the exception of The Villages, Florida). Looks good and is fairly easy use. Significantly better than Bushnell, I have had a few which only lasted a season or two.

  • Dumb Charging and Garmin Doesn't Know What Grey Looks Like
Color: Gray Style: S44
Fine as a golf watch. Connects the app fine and works as it should. My main gripes are the proprietary wired charging setup (I wish I had Googled whether you could put one of these on a watch charging pad, which you CANNOT). And Garmin lists this as "grey", which is not even close. It's sort of a light blue color, which looks ridiculous. ... show more
