New S50 Vs My S62

I replaced my Garmin Approach S62 with a new Garmin S50. The screen is brighter, and the "glances" work well...just like my S62. But I have not gotten used to the Golf screens and do not like the screens of the holes as much as my S62. The screens on the S62 resembled the hole Inwas playing...particularly the hazards, like traps and water. The S50 screens appear to show the hazards as small circles or dots. Maybe I am still learning how to use the Golf feature, but I am not there yet.

Love It!

After a few weeks of use, I love my new watch. Golf app is great, changed watch face to a current photo, exercise and sleep notifications are helpful.

Golf Plus!

Perfect combination of golf watch and exercise watch. I like the size of the face for everyday use.

Works fine for me. Does a whole lot more than my Forerunner 35. Golfed with it once and worked fine.

Greaty Gps Watch

Great watch; i turne3d the stats option and to my surprise it counts my strokes and after my round I can see where all of my shots landed. almost like having track my shots without tracking sensors. Great feedback.

All Good Except The Watchband

Good watch display. Semi intuitive design. Very poor watch band. Ordered a new band from a different source and its much easier to use and better designed.

Great Watch For Golf!

I love the watch! It’s a lot easier to use than S60. I like two button/touch features! However very disappointed with the Velcro band! I prefer the band that was on S60 better!! Please change back to the original band!! Especially for the money you spend on this watch, it should have a durable band!!

Most Difficult Garmin I've Ever Had!

Bought this watch a month ago and I having difficulty using it on the course. I wish someone from Garmon would help me out with it

Comfortable Fit

I’ve had just about a month and enjoy wearing it. I only wish instructions were easier to follow and that it was more compatible with Apple as far as connectivity.

Just Wish It Could Check For Afib

It blows away my Approach S20. I wish it could check for AFIB. I still have to wear my Fitbit Sence for heart check

I purchased the S50 about 2 weeks ago. Started the trial and it worked great the first round. Played 5 days later at the same course and could not get the same views on the watch. Disappointed but will try again.
