Garmin Approach S12, Easy-to-Use GPS Golf Watch, 42k+ Preloaded Courses, Black, 010-02472-00

I’ve been golfing a long time. I don’t know why I never had one of these gps golf watches? It’s rare I would say “it’s a game changer” for things. But I gotta say after researching golf watches and come upon this one in particular I’m sold. To the S12 now, I’m not a stranger to electronic devices we all have them. However on a golf course while playing it needs to be: easy to use and navigate through functions, easy to read in rainy or sunny conditions with a lot of glare, accuracy is key also looks and feels good wearing it along with tough durability. Definitely all of these things and more. I played my first 18 (pouring rain first 4 holes) with it after getting accustomed to the functions and being familiar enough to actually use it. I was thrilled with the performance and ease of use. Funny I only somewhat generally knew how far I was hitting each club.. now I know for sure. Big help cutting scores just that alone. On only two holes I noticed it didn’t move to next.. so I manually kicked over to next hole pretty easily. On another that was close to last green as well.. just walked over to tee box and it flipped automatically easy peezy. If that’s a negative thing I’ll take that all day every day no problems here. All in all I’m super happy with the S12 from seller to fast delivery to actual accuracy and simplicity of use it’s been a very good purchase. Hopefully I get even better at using it’s functions and that it holds up for a long time. In closing you can spend a lot more on a gps golf watch for sure. So far this seems to be well worth the money. I can pretty much guarantee you won’t have to ask anyone for yardages again. It does enough and well enough in my book not to be a major distraction and balances high tech and useful features to up your game and joy of playing golf.

Love this watch. Super easy to learn how to use. I have only used it for one round so far but it’s comfortable to wear and yardages are accurate. The battery stays charged super long as well. For a basic golf watch it’s perfect.

I've wanted a GPS golf watch for a long time. I settled on this one for three reasons. First, two guys I regularly play with have one and both love theirs. Secondly, my golf game doesn’t require a more expensive model that provides an endless list of detailed information. Third, the watch finally came back on sale for $50 off. It seems to periodically. I’ve used it twice. Here's my reaction so far: Liked: * Rather than hoping that someone in my foursome will have a GPS, now I can just glance down at my wrist. So convenient. * I like the multiple-face display configurations. I have mine set so the numbers showing the distance to the middle of the green are extra large, which makes the number I care about easy to see, even in bright sunlight. * Super comfortable. Normally, I hate wearing watches but this one is ultra-lightweight and didn’t bother me a bit. * I’m no techie but downloading the app and pairing the watch to my I phone 13 was a breeze. * This watch provides far more information than my golf game requires but it’s nice to know it’s there if I start getting better. * No complaints about battery life. I still had plenty of power left after two rounds. Didn’t like: * On several holes during my first round, my watch had trouble finding the next hole. Even my cart-mate, who has the same watch, couldn't figure out why. His watch found every hole without any problem. That was frustrating. But during my second round (at a different course), it performed flawlessly. In fact, during that round, the golf cart had a GPS screen. I compared the distance on my watch with the cart GPS and found they were very close every time. * It took longer than I expected for the watch to locate and load the course, but I don’t consider that a major issue. * There is definitely a learning curve. I read the instructions at home but it's challenging to practice using it unless you're actually at a course with the course downloaded.

My husband said this is a wonderful golf watch and has everything he needs on the course without any extraneous information.

This has replaced a Bulova golf watch that I used for at least 10 years but suddenly quit working. It has more features. Most of which? I won't use. It's a very good basic golf watch. First thing I noticed is that the battery life in this watch is amazing. It lasts multiple rounds. Fairly easy to set up. It advances as it should hole to hole. Yardage is accurate. Very comfortable to wear, super light.

This is my third Garmin watch. It replaced my S20 which finally physically broke in the area which holds the band. Although this does nothing but keep time and give me the GPS info on the course, it’s all I need. I have Garmin CT10 sensors on each of my 14 clubs and they work well with the watch. The watch and sensors, paired with the Garmin app, have really helped me to hit more greens and hone in to the performance of each of my golf clubs. That has meant better overall scores for me. FYI, I’m 68 years old with a 13 handicap.

I'm pleased with this GPS watch. I had to replace my S20 after several years, as it would no longer charge. This S12 does everything I want; distances to the front, center, back of the green. I think it provides distances to hazards also, but I haven't figured out how to access this. No extra stuff; no steps, no fitness, just distances, which, by the way, measure up with the more expensive GPS watches that my partners have; seems accurate. The battery life is amazing. I've played 3 rounds over the 3 weeks I've had the watch and I still show about 40 percent charge. I'm pleased that I went with this basic GPS watch

Love this thing. Years ago I had a Sky Caddie. Then I got tired of spending $60 per year for the subscription especially when more and more of my golfing buddies were getting range finders and watches that cost nothing and worked just as well. This thing is great! Intuitive to use and navigate and can just be worn as a timepiece when you're off the links! Worth the investment.
