Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Smartwatch

Not impressed. Screen resolution in really poor. A five year old Apple Watch has better.

I’ve had this model for several years and really love all the features it offers. The virtual caddie is awesome and knowing how far I hit each club really helps with distances. Garmin is a great company, after a few years the sensor cap came off the underside of the watch and when I called Garmin they did not hesitate to offer a replacement at no cost.

Watch won't charge or only some of the time; full overnight charge gets me to 30%! Won;t connect to computer: have to synchronise via app on phone (I have a Vivoactive 5 as my everyday watch)! For the price of this watch I am seriously disappointed. I also have an Approach S60 which also died after 3 years which is why I bought the S62! S60 charges but won't connect to either phone or computer!!!

I bought this watch about a year ago. By asking me to indicate the club I was using, it now suggests the club I should use. Moreover, the yardage for each hole is accurate.

This is a replacement for my s60. Lots of new features. Yardage are more accurate. Easy to use.

Got birthday gift. Played in a tournament and started on hole #10, which seemed to confuse the mechanism

Works great as a GPS watch. The app is pretty weak. You can’t get strokes gained data vs specified handicaps. It sometimes misses shots into the green with no way to add them afterwards. Still have to use a separate app to get more useful data analytics.

My Garmin has stopped syncing with my phone since the update. I am beginning to detest it so much I wanted to throw it away for its non functionality.

I love my S62 and can’t imagine golfing without it. That said, there are a few settings I wish were different. It is possible this is a user error. I love that it learns my club averages and makes smart recommendations. BUT, often within the recommended options, the club I want is not offered. In that instance the distance gets attributed to the wrong club.

Exceptional watch , probably one the best golf watches

Why did a week and a half ago couldn’t be happier very nice watch can’t wait till it starts to tell me what club to use

I got this watch as a gift and it works even better than my S60 I had. The caddie feature works great.

I purchased the upgrade from my S60. The S62 for the most part is non-responsive to touch. I tried a few hard resets and it worked for about a week before it was non-responsive again. I've tried doing multiple hard resets to no avail. Not sure what the issue is with the S62, but I haven't been pleased with this product.

So the watch is very impressive I particularly enjoy the yardage I make on every shot to green. This helps me appreciate what each club can achieve.

Very pleased with features and accuracy. So far durability is excellent.

Very sophisticated watch with good features. However, I gave up, it is way too difficult to use.

I bought this Garmin new thinking it'd be great to use some of the newer features. I previously used a Garmin S10 with no issues at all. Since the day I bought the S62, the GPS does not register/load. I have tried updating the software, and looked at online message boards for ideas, but the GPS takes around 25-60min to register, if at all. This means it won't find golf courses until I'm well and truly into my round, it won't track the GPS for my runs until I'm home again and in the shower, and it won't keep the proper time for my timezone. Completely useless for my needs and doesn't perform in anyway like it is advertised. Consequently I've relegated my S62 to the drawer and have gone back to the old S10. Wouldn't recommend buying the S62.

I bought my Approach S62 recently, and it’s Great !! Lots of great features, haven’t figured them all out yet, but having fun with it !!

Good watch the only thing I don't like is the stat tracking and they never try to improve the programs some thing like the shots some times don't track and messes up the stats

Terrible - constant golf app problems. I got tired of hard resets & lack of dependability.
