GarminGarmin Approach S12, Easy-to-Use GPS Golf Watch, 42k+ Preloaded Courses, Black, 010-02472-00

I'm very happy with this golf watch which i got for $150. The battery life is amazing. See the picture and see how much battery is left after 2 full rounds. The menus take a little to getting used to, I'm not one for keeping score on the watch. But the screens that show you layups and hazards are accurate if a little confusing at first.

The watch is fantastic. I had a Tag Heuer golf watch. It was so complicated and time consuming to get a distance. This watch is perfect. Bigger number display and is always changing with your movement through the hole

Garmin golf watch does the job. I'm only disappointed that by changing from my old watch (approach-garmin) to this one, it no longer tracks my shot locations. It did that for no extra cost with the old watch.I would have to buy the CT10 golf club accessories for a lot more money to get those shots registered. So I'm losing statistics like average drive distances. I understand why Garmin went this way, since players can get a lot more detail about all their club distances. I could pay significantly more for the CT10s but I'm not going to do that. Thus the drop off of one star for this watch.Just on the merits of this watch, I like the functionality of it as it matches with what I had before in the Approach S20. Very similar functionality. Distances to hazards is a big plus, along with distances to layup (e.g. 120 yards to get to the 150 yard marker). Keeps score, along with number of putts and whether or not you hit the fairway. Band durability seems solid.In short, if you're looking for a golf watch that helps you play a round without taking the time to mess with a rangefinder, I highly recommend this Garmin watch. Just don't expect to have shot locations without the CT10s, otherwise you'll be disappointed.

Just received my Garmin. I have had 2 others. The last one lasted 5 years. I am hoping for the same results with this new one. I am anxious to use this one.

After a month, the primary button stopped working, rendering the product useless.This was disappointing, so I called GARMIN customer service. They told me how to reset the software ( easy) and now it works perfectly. It’s a good golf watch. The distances are consistent with my $500 laser rangefinder.

Watch does everything I need. Battery so far is awesome. 3 full rounds and still at 75%. Very happy with my purchase.

Clean and simple. Easy to operate. Easy to read display. Bare bones but everything I need.

The watch came quickly and worked perfectly. The approach S12 is a great product.
