I’ve been considering upgrading my golf game with a GPS watch and the Garmin Approach S60 has caught my eye. I’ve heard great things about its features, but I’d love to get some detailed feedback from those who have actually used it on the course.

Key Features to Discuss:

  • Distance Measurement: How accurate is it in measuring yardage to the greens and hazards?
  • Course Information: Does it have a comprehensive database of courses?
  • Performance Feedback: What insights can it provide during gameplay?
  • Battery Life: How long does it last on a typical round?
  • Durability: Is it built to withstand the wear and tear of regular golfing?

I’m particularly interested in how it compares to other models on the market. If you’ve played with the S60, could you share your thoughts? Are there any drawbacks or things to be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I’ve read some mixed things about the price—it is on the higher side. But for features like accurate course mapping and fitness tracking, it might be worth it. Anyone else think it’s too expensive?
