Very disappointing
I have had Garmin Golf watches for years (S70 now) so I had high hopes for the Approach Z82. 1. It was hard to connect to Garmin Connect (figured it our on day 2), and even when connected, nothing seemed to connect - for example, a YouTuber said that once connected, and after using the Z82 to determine the yardage to the pin, the pin location would show on the S70 watch (instead of being in the center of the green). Didn't happen, ever. Even worse, it's just a pain to use as a mere rangefinder. You have to turn it on and then it cycles through a copyright notice, etc. And then you have to select the mode (play golf, vs just shooting flags on the range). And then it is slow - you lift it to shoot the flag and the screen cycles from dark to light, but even with the proper illumination of the screen, it is a low-resolution screen which looks murky. And finally, several times the distance measured was incorrect.

Awesome Z 82
I love all the features and functions of Z 82. The graphics are awesome coupled with the wind direction feature. Ultimately helped improve my game as it highlights all the features of any specific hole. They added benefit of the extended battery which allows me to get multiple rounds out of one charge is also a win-win.

Great features
Absolutely love this thing on the course gives you exact numbers for everything you need as well as when you use it for an actual rangefinder outside the course the zoom is impeccable and I really like the way the AI works when you used.

A rangefinder with all the bells whistles
It's a great rangefinder but what separates the Z82 is clarity, pre-loaded courses, and the best feature is the find my rangefinder

I call it my E-Caddy
There is not better rangefinder on the market. The Z82 does it all and its a cheat code when you and your buddies play a new course. My only complaint is that it's not magnetic and I am hoping that Garmin improves the digital display so that I can see golf balls on the green from far away. A super clear telescopic lens would put it over the top. The new green reading subscription is nice but should included on Garmin's high-end devices.

This is a good product
I purchased the rangefinder to work on club distance control especially on the Practice Range. I would like the Z82 to connect with my S62 watch along with my smartphone

Wow! Amazing GPS / Rangefinder!
I bought this two weeks ago. I have used it for four rounds. I am still learning more of the features. The total view of the hole, including yardages to the hazards and bunkers and the front, middl,e and back yardages is really helpful. Looking forward to learning and using the integrated app features as well.

Best Laser/GPS Rangefinder on the Market!
The Garmin Approach Z82 is the most accurate laser/GPS range finder on the market. You won't find a more accurate product. I like the way it does everything in one package. If you like technology this is the rangefinder for you!!

Easy to use and reliable quality
Used it at a long 400yd range and it worked quickly and easily. Other models being used faltered in the bright light. I was proud to have it.

Almost great
No cart magnet, difficult to lock on flag, no “caddie” feature (triangulation) Otherwise the best out there! Very light and comfortable to hold

Z82 vs old garmin gps
I have been using the Z82 for about a year now. The battery life on the Z82 is much better than my old gps, twice as many rounds. It is nice to get the distance right to flag, in lieu of front, back and middle. The only complaint I have is on blind shots, I can only get distances without elevation correction that I got on my old garmin gps.

Z28
The product works well and has great distance flag front and back have helped me to hit more greens and regulation. The bad news is the case is awful and keeping score with the device is very difficult. I also have a Garmin golf watch so I use it for keeping score. If you’re looking to keep score, good luck. Please change the case not sure who came up with this idea.

Not What I Expected!
The biggest thing I was surprised by was the Optics. Comparing to my Bushnell and my Garmin Z30 the Optics on the Z28 were very funky. It was hard to focus, and it was almost like looking under water when looking through the Rangefinder. I have the S70 watch so I realized right away that all I really needed was the Garmin Z30 Rangefinder. I was very disappointed in the Z82 to be completely honest. If you have an S70 watch, then just get the Z30 instead and save yourself some money. Having an S70 Watch and Z82 Rangefinder is just duplicating what you already have with the S70 Watch.

Great Rangefinder, Atrocious Case
So far I’ve been pleasantly happy with the rangefinder itself. The problem is truly with the lack of magnet on the rangefinder coupled with one of the worst cases possible. It is extremely inconvenient to use for anyone that wants to keep it safe on the go. I was okay with no magnet going in and knew this ahead of time but when I started using the case, it greatly diminished what a 5* device this would be. It is scuffing/damaging the rangefinder and with minor design changes, could have been an acceptable case. Overall, great rangefinder coupled with one of the worst cases. This is a premium rangefinder that is not being treated as such with the case and is extremely disappointing.

Slow to lock on target
I’ve been getting 5 @18 hole rounds in before it needs charging. The GPS and laser work very well. My only disappointment is I wish it locked on quicker. My Bushnell before it quit working was instant. This one takes 3-4 seconds. Overall very pleased and would purchase again if I needed to.
