Great Features

The watch is great with plenty of information while golfing. I only use some of the other apps, but they are also great. The only complaint is the band. The standard band is very difficult to get on.

Nice

I love the watch for golf. Allow a few rounds of golf to get it configured the way you like. There are multiple configuration settings for golf. I noticed the garmin watch does not count steps as aggressively as my Fitbit. Also, the garmin watch will not really count steps at all when lawnmowing because my wrist is not moving. The Fitbit had no problems with this.

Still reviewing the watch Golf course function great Watch band design is terrible good thing I don’t have large wrist and hands Will definitely be looking for a new band

The S50 Is Great

This is a fantastic golf and fitness watch. Outstanding for Golf, which is the main reason I purchased it recently. Wish I had bought it years ago.

Garmin Approach S50

Bought this 3 weeks ago and it is every thing it is advertised.

S50 Review

I love this watch, I had the Approach X40, and it was discontinued. I loved the X40 but the S50 is amazing and still what I need plus more. I'm still in the learning stage with the watch, but loved what I know about it as of now.

My S50

I Bought my S50 about a month ago and Love it. Kind of Pricy But Well Wirth the Money. Great Looking Watch.

Touchy

Easy set at first just for golf. But just today, not showing being charged even though it's on the charger. Overall, very good with distances and display. Wrist band was difficult going on and off(too small for my wrist) but bought another one from amazon.

Still Trying It Out.

I’ve used the Garmin S50 twice so far and I’m still learning. It shows distance but not the course outlay. I’ve read the manual but cannot find anything on how it works. My prior watch was an Approach S62 which was much simpler to use.

Nice Features, Great Looking.

I bought this after my S20 died. The golf functions are better. The HR, steps, and goal settings are great. The silicone rubber band on the S20 was junk. The fabric band on the S50 is a nicer more comfortable band. The Bluetooth and GPS work well with my Samsung android phone.

Cheap Band

Disappointed in band quality very cheap for the cost of this watch

Returned

The band is a cheap velcro strap and the watch itself feels like a toy. I couldn't get it to do anything advertised. Returned it.

Takes Getting Used To.

After 2 weeks the golf portion is still a learning process. Constantly get notices when the watch and phone are not in close proximity. On the plus side, it charges fast and lasts much longer than the previous model.

Its A Great Tool, But Does Require Some Learning..

Really like the tool. Excellent on yardage from the pin, but navigation requires a bit of learning.
