GPS for the golfer, awsome

Pros: wear it like a watch great for measure distance
Cons: just improve ease of switching menu button and, multiple functions
Model Number: Approach S1
"Nice feature on the course to determine distance of the tee, but difficulty with distance of shot measured and odometer, you have to push the menu button several time to get it to work, and then it continues to count. Otherwise very nice to have."

If you're serious about the game . . .

"then you definitely need to pick up this golf watch. Instead of lugging around the sky caddies that are the size of a smart phone . . . this watch is the ultimate in convience in putting yourself in the right position by selecting the right clubs on any position on the golf course....
this watch automatically saved me 6 to 9 strokes each round.
The only bad thing about this watch is the battery life... probably last a total of 7 hour so don't rely on it for a full 36 rounds!"

Worked like a charm

Model Number: S1
"The Garmin GPS Watch arrived one day before a major golf outing to a course never seen by me. It worked right out of the box and delivered accurate and helpful info re. distances to front, back, and middle. It is much more convenient than a hand-held device and doubles as a watch when not on the course."

Golf GPS

Model Number: Garmin Approach S1 Golf GPS Watch
"Works fine. It is fairly intuitive. Some times I have a little difficulty aligning the contacts with the contacts on the charger, but it is not a big deal. I really like it."

GPS Watch

"Product is exactly as advertised. Gives relatively accurate distances to back, middle and front of green. Very convenient. Just look at the distance shown on wrist. No wasted time."

Accurate, easy to use

Pros: accurate easy to read
Model Number: S! Golf GPS
"Bold print and easy to use menu. Odometer is used for walking, biking, and hiking as well as golf. Quick charge, but need to be careful that the 4 charging terminals are properly connected. Used twice for golf, and have compared watch distances to golf course marked distances--right on. Very quick GPS connect."

Worked great out of the box!

Pros: easier to use than stand alone units.
"This gem worked perfectly. Found my course at once and started giving me my distances. Then it tracks progress with no further adjustment. Large print makes reading it on the course easy. My only problem is/was it will not hit the ball for me!"

Fantastic

"When I purchased this unit I had my reservations about how well it would work and if the courses I play would be loaded. After the first time out I was hooked. We played a little 9 hole course that I didn't know exsisted. This thing had it loaded. Just turn it, wait for satilites to get aquired and that's it. It updates every hole. Fantastic"

Best golf watch ever

It's the best Golf GPS...

"I have been using 2 different kinds of golf GPSs, SkyCaddie and monocular type golf GPS but it's the best. It's so simple to use and no need to download or fee at all. Just go to the course and turn it on after 1st tee shot. It will configure everything. Just walk to the ball and look at it on your wrist. That simple. However, it doesn't tell you exact distance to the pin but only center, back and front so it's perfect for some experienced golfer. I bet you will love it."

Very helpful, easy to use

Pros: easy to use, easy to read
Cons: limited battery life, charger connection
"I have been using one of these since Christmas. It is easy to use, easy to read, lightweight, and the band really stays put on my wrist (the buckle is very secure). It is simple enough that you don't have to mess around with an instruction manual, and because it is with you, you don't forget it and leave it in your bag. My only gripes are that the battery life is a bit short, and the charging attachment is a bit tricky to get an electrical charging connection--it's like a clothespin and you have to line up 4 little pins just so or it won't charge. I have a different Garmin GPS watch that snaps into a foolproof charger, and wonder why they came up with this fiddly design."

Love this GPS/Watch!!!!

Model Number: S1
"I've been using the Approach S1 for three months and love it!!! It's simple to use, provides the basic features I need, doesn't require any course downloads, and doesn't have any annual fees!!!
Just take it out of the box, head for a golf course and it's ready to use!!! And it's a Garmin!!!!
