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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable and accurate!… Finally got tired of my old watch losing the satellite three quarters of the way through the round and not being able to get it back. I like the features and the ease of operation, especially the recharging process…

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great features I bought this watch ~1 Month ago, it's a life saver! Now that I know the exact distances, I played my two best games of golf. I broke 90 for the first time ever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Garmin S42 Range Finder I bought the Garmin (wrist watch style) S42 range finder at Golf Galaxy several weeks ago. I am starting slowly with it - not scoring or attaching phone / text (which I don't want / need on the course!) - but only using the distance / hazard features. It is working very well. I very much appreciate the convenience of a quick glance at my wrist to know the three distances to the green - even when the flag is over a rise and not yet visible. Very pleased!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Slighty Disappointed I definitely have mixed feeling about my new Garmin Approach S24 golf range finder watch. First off it is a great range finder on the golf course and can provider a golfer with plenty of info. The bad part though is it does need to be paired with you cell phone. I own a Motorola DROID Max. As such if you leave your cell in your cart a walked around 30' away the watch loses its connection and stops working, often resulting in the watch get lost!. I have learned to deal with this by keeping my cell phone in my pocket, ugh. Additionally, I picked and paid extra money for this model Garmin because it is advertised as allowing you check your cell phone apps ie; FB Messing, Gmail, Texts, Weather, etc. Again the Garmin either will not connect to these apps at all, or loses connection even if my cell phone is in my pocket.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from My second refurbished watch This is my second refurbished watch. The first malfunctioned after about 2 months. My current refurbished watch malfunctioned after a number of months-a corrupt file. I was able to restore functionality from reset and reloading and fixing the file. Beware of refurbished watches. Otherwise I never golf without it.
