Garmin Approach S62 GPS Golf Smartwatch

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.

I brought mine when it originally came out. Shortly after, various functions like sleep tracking and body battery features stopped working. I was also having issues with locating courses. I recently upgraded to the S70...and wish my S62 never acted up. My Instinct went left too with tracking my health updates.

Having problems with the watch. Certain features are not working Will be calling for help

I was unsure of whether I would like the watch, even concerned on how it would feel during play. All of that changed once I got to the course. It really becomes part of you, to the point of not even feeling it, which I attribute to the band. It's awesome being able to see distance to hazards including Front, Middle and Back of the green. In the past with my rangefinder I would only shoot the flag which was not always the best choice. Now I know when to club up to ensure that I make GIR! I'm still adjusting to the features, especially when you play holes out of sequence but that will come in time. Great watch, enjoying the step feature along with heart rate. Temperature and Sunrise and Sunset are also cool. Plus its good looking as an everyday watch. Lastly, the battery has proven to be long lasting.

I am really looking fwd. to the new S70....I hope the new features really help.

i recently bought this watch and am still learning how it functions. The instruction manual isn't completely transparent and on the course I have trouble going back to a previous hole when I forget to score it or need to correct the score. Simply navigating around isn't easy. There doesn't seem to be a button to correct a mistake. The concepts are great and distances fairly accurate according to my Bushnell range finder. I suspect this will be a very good addition to my game when I learn how to use it.

I traded my S60 for the S62. I loved my S60, and the S62 is even better. Nice upgrade. It has everything I need and a lot more!
