Lots Of Features

Got this 2 weeks ago. I'm still in the learning curve. The watch (?) (actually computer) has a 60 page manual - it does a lot of things. I'm looking forward to learning more about it for health purposes. In the meantime, I'll work on golf.

S50 + Ct1 Sensors

I bought this almost one month ago along with the CT1 sensors. I used them just prior to a golf trip. The watch and the sensors worked quite well. The watch is intuitive and provides exactly what I need and reads well in the broad daylight. The sensors also worked well especially when making it a part of my shot setup routine to tap the sensor to the watch face. Even when I forgot, the watch prompted me to “tap” the club that I just used. I played 36 holes in one day and the watch had plenty of battery. I’m very pleased so far.

Great Watch!

I bought this a couple months ago and needed time before I could review. Overall it is an awesome fitness/golf watch, way better than my Approach S 60 which died after a couple years. Hopefully I will get more longevity out of this one; Still haven't used some features such as green reading as I am an excellent reader and putter, but hope to soon

my previous Garmin golf watch kicked after 7 years. I switched to the S50 and it’s a great all around health monitor and excellent golf companion. it is not a substitute for a hand held laser for exact distance to the hole but for reliable info and to track stats then download to a phone or computer wirelessly, it’s great. I love the product. PS. make sure to wear it on your lead hand to get proper readings

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.

Great Golf And Everyday Watch.

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!!
