Great Features And Simple Usage Design
So far I like the S44 garmin golf watch. Best features are 1) the bright very visible face. I was having problems seeing my phone face in sun before I got the watch 2 Keeping score is easy with a few menu driven questions. It asks did you get par or what it expected for the number of sensed swings. If different it gives a nice +/- option where you just tap the only outside golf button. 3)I have occasionally missed a score but there is a nice scorecard option that is like a touchscreen where you can add or modify a particular hole 4) Never a concern for me but I only use about 20% of charge per round. It is easy to recharge at home. Things that could be better and need improving 1). The S44 will not talk to my ghin app so I have to manually load to the ghin app at home after the round. If I don't get it that day , it is easy to lose the hole by hole data. 2) Sometimes , probably my fault but I am not sure, the S44 is not-in synch with the hole I am playing. Not too hard to get it back but I walk the course in the cooler months and the attempts to fix it could have others waiting for me to hit my ball. Overall very happy with my S44 so far. I have had it a-month or about 16 rounds

I had the approach s3 for 15 years, upgraded to the approach s44 6 months ago. Great product, great company, had a problem with it, they stood by the product and took care of it quickly.

New Model S44 Is Terrific
Just replaced an older model and love the improvements on the S44. Significantly improved battery life, quicker response on set up and connected for texts and email.

Great Replacement For My S60
This has been a great placement for my approach s60 which finally gave out. It is definitely a step up with technology in how it recognizes most of my strokes and prefills the information to accept of easily change, like the extra stroke for a lost ball. I love the bright display and intuitive features.

Good Features, But Glitchy End/save Round Features
I have been using this for 2 weeks. Very frustrating to end and save round. I have lost my scorecard data both times I used the watch.

It’s Ok
As a golf watch it works well. It offers more features than I need but I am happy with it. Unfortunately it has quit working and I have been unable to get it to restart. Just over 30 days in use.

I Hate This Watch
This watch is very difficult to use for me. First of all you have to take your golf glove off every time you want to do anything because it is touch screen. I usually have to push a selection several times to get it to work. I have spent many hours reading the user guide and using AI trying to get it to work correctly. After I finish a round of golf it is almost impossible to get a new round started the next time I play. Nothing is intuitive or user friendly. Very difficult to navigate. Loved my old Garmin.

Colorful Screen!
I bought this watch looking for more hole detail versus my old Garmin golf GPS watch and it does deliver on that aspect. Can be challenging to learn all the features, I am still learning. But accuracy is good and I like the screen.

Great Improvement
I had the S42 golf watch and was looking to upgrade. I am glad I did. This is a better view while playing a round.

Nice
Like the watch that I got for Father’s Day . Works great on the golf course but the instructions were very vague and I’m sure there are still functions that I cannot figure out how to use…booklet that was included with watch is totally useless and the web site is not any better either.
