Review on Garmin Approach S42: Lightweight GPS Golf Smartwatch with Touchscreen, 42k+ Preloaded Courses, Silver Ceramic Bezel, and White Silicone Band - 010-02572-11 by Manni Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight and functional

This watch works very well when worn on a wrist. Right-handed, on the left wrist. This allows detecting the impact of a shot and automating the range tracking function for each shot. The dangers are eliminated from the next shot. It's easy to scroll and see the distance to enter the hazard and the distance to eliminate that hazard. It took me a few minutes to read the instructions, but it was pretty easy to figure out. The touchscreen can be a bit finicky at times. Being able to move the checkbox on the green background is nice, but then again, it's a watch face. So I rode crazy distances a couple of times because I completely lost sight of the flagpole and it got moved over 2 holes! I realized that after a few cases like this. Happy with it so far. Played 6 rounds with no problems.

Pros
  • Battery life: up to 15 hours in GPS mode and up to 10 days in smartwatch mode
Cons
  • Vulgarity
