Review on ⛳ Enhance Your Golf Game with the Garmin Approach S10 Lightweight GPS Golf Watch in Granite Blue by Ben Diesel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bought to replace a second Bushnell Neo XS that broke.

I've owned two Bushnell Neo XS golf watches in the past, on both the plastic glass covering the display fell off after about a year and got lost somewhere on the course. After this happened on the second one I had to buy another golf watch and chose this Garmin S10 watch as the Bushnell quality was definitely an issue. I'm glad I did. This watch is easy to use, very thin and light, and its rectangular shape is much less obtrusive, especially since I'm wearing it on my gloved hand. I think it's better built than the Bushnell I had. I don't need fancy watches only those that show the correct distance to the green and obstacles and have an excellent battery life. I do not use the rating function or the app to upload results to the Garmin website. This clock shows the exact distance and moves to the next hole without error. One thing I noticed at Bushnell is that I forget to start the clock until I finish the first hole. Bushnell had me set the watch to the correct hole, but this Garmin knew where I was right away and didn't need to be set. This leads me to believe that the GPS system is more accurate than other watches. The only downside is that Garmin takes a little longer for the GPS to show up and recognize the course I'm on. However, it's not much more time and I just set it up to start the round a bit earlier than my Bushnell. If you need an accurate, lightweight golf watch,

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
