I’ve only played 5-6 rounds with my new Garmin S60, but I totally dig it. I love having yardages in my wrist at all times, so I don’t have to pull out my phone or scope every time I need a distance. It also syncs really nice and gives you a great visual overview of your round on your smart phone (Garmin Golf app). I have 58 y/o eyes, so was a little curious how I would read it w/o readers, but it’s fine for me. Couple minor drawbacks: Plenty of juice for one full round. Touch & go on that second round, though. I keep a battery brick in my bag, just in case. Also, you can zoom in a little and check yardage on that bunker or Creek, but it’s a little clunky for that. Not a smoothe pinch in/out for zoom. All in all, definitely a good purchase. BTW, I think you can get pretty much the same yardage functionality with Garmin’s more basic models for a cheaper price, but I was happy to pay more for the upgrade to Approach S60.

I use multiple Garmin golf devices, S62 Golf watch, R10 Launch Monitor and C10 club sensors for in game data collection. There are LOT of opportunities for these product lines to integrate into the Garmin golf app for much better data collection and followup analysis. Other applications such as 18 Birdies and Golf Shot are advancing technology in terms of player performance for game improvement. 1. Strokes gained per round. Garmin Golf doesn't provide that information. It uses averages over 10 rounds. 2. Strokes gained for specific clubs. Garmin Golf bunches shots into Drives, Approach, Chips and Putts instead of strokes gained by club. I would like to know which club or range of clubs I should work on. 3. In round GPS overview using the phone is far far behind the other golf apps. One can't look at distances for possible shots. That information is available on the watch but that can be cumbersome. Additionally, the overlay is a 'cartoon' graphic where other apps use photos with more details. Overall, while I using the multiples Garmin devices where I do like the concept of a centralized app to collect all my data, this application is in need of a complete redesign to keep up with the competitors.

I really like this app. The interface with my garmin watch are good. Not great, but it works. Distances are a bit off and not completely sure which way. And I’m talking about tee distances that I hit my driver. The course distances are solid. But sometimes I hit a drive and it tracks to the ball. I see the number. But when I review my round; I have a different number. Sometimes more. Sometimes less. I don’t really care about that really. My point of having this is to play on the course. It works well for that. Somehow though; I am never asked about my putts as I give my hole score. So at the end of my rounds; I have no putts recorded. Not sure how to fix this. As I get better; it’s kind of important. It also doesn’t ask fairway hits or GIRs. All this should be inputted each hole. And the watch never ask for this to be imputed. Maybe you can help me with this

It may work better if all clubs had the CT 10 accessories. However, I don’t feel you should need them to be able to get semi-accurate shot statistics. For example, I accidentally put that I hit a 3 wood off the tee. When I went in to look at the round, I noticed that I hit the 3 wood button. I updated that to my driver, but it still shows that drive as the average for my 3 wood. I hit the ball nowhere near the average 3 wood totals in the app. I have several clubs like that now, but Garmin uses your last 10 rounds, so it will be on there for awhile. No way to manually update it. I really wanted the help of this functionality to tell me how far that I’m hitting each club. It isn’t valuable with all the skewed data. Since the CT 10’s connect directly. They would probably help with this, but I’m not ready to spend that kind of money until the app gets a bit better tracking.The watch is fantastic and functional. GPS works great and the features are first rate. I will keep uploading to Garmin Golf just in case it gets better in the future, but at the moment this isn’t helpful.
