    Perfect Golf Watch

    This golf watch is light so that you don’t know you’re wearing it and very accurate with distance. The only issue is that you need to learn which buttons to push to get to the information you are looking for.

    Bought this and does everything that I need. Tells me how far am I from the pin. Love this and never had to use my rangefinder after purchasing this. There fancier models thar calculate your handicap and things. You can check what golf courses they have in their website before purchasing, surpised that all of the courses that I play in are there

    The Garmin Approach S12 Smartwatch

    The Garmin Approach S12 Smartwatch was very easy to set up and connect to my mobile device. I've used it twice at two different golf courses that I usually play and both courses were in the program. It always knew where I was and gave me front, middle, and back pin placement. It's nice to have all that information right on my wrist. Now if it could only help me with my swing.

    Solid little watch. I'm not good enough to actually have it lower my scores. But it's good to know how far I need to hit assuming I knew what I was doing. Usually +/-2 yards vs my buddies scope.

    I'm new to golf and have loved my Garmin S12. It's basic and does what it's supposed to do. I looked at the more expensive watched and seems to have too many unnecessary features.
