Garmin Approach S42 GPS Golf Smartwatch (Ceramic Bezel and Black Silicone Band) SKU: 010-02572-10

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great watch! Purchased a month ago and it has been great so far! Yardages are more accurate than I am and it finds them quickly. I really appreciate the shot tracking and analytics. My only request for the future would be a desktop editor that allows for easier shot editing and deleting rounds from the watch itself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features I bought this watch 2 weeks and have already used it to play 5 rounds of golf. I found the watch very helpful in assessing the distance I get in my drives and other clubs that I use. I also find the stats of the rounds I played very helpful.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too soon to tell First one I bought only lasted two weeks before the battery would not fully charge. On my second one for one week. So far so good. Had a S10 before and liked it but it did not even last one year before the battery failed. Hope to have better luck

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Accurate I have used it for 3 years. I have found it accurate. I would give it 5 stars if it had a better connection for charging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase I’ve had the opportunity to use this on the course a few times. So far it’s been great although I’m still learning about all the features. It has some non-golf bells and whistles I really don’t need but I appreciate the battery life. My old GPS watch (non Garmin) was down to about 20% after 18 holes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features Bought this to replace my S40 watch. The watch works great. Long battery life. Easy to connect to your smart phone and Garmin app. Accuray is good. I find the accuracy is related to the course. Easy to see display even with sunglasses on. Considering purchasing the TC-10 adapters for my clubs since this watch works with them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Hard to find the great features Bought this several weeks ago and still have to carry around the little instruction book to wind my way through all the nuanced ways to get to the great features.
