Spending time with the Garmin Approach S62 shows there's plenty of space left for dedicated golf watches – and the benefits on the course were tangible. We wouldn't want to go back to life without it. It delivers plenty of benefits away from golf, too. But at a price.

  You can get similar golfing functionality cheaper

The Garmin Approach S62 GPS Watch is undoubtedly one for the gadget lover who wants the very latest features and the ability to track shots all in one place and use it off the course too. It’s expensive, but is unquestionably one of the most comprehensive, cutting-edge GPS watches around.

  Lots of unique and useful functionality, plus the ability to track shots. Versatile styling and off-course features broadens the appeal.

• -

  Expensive. The hole map graphics look somewhat dated and there were differences in what appeared between the app and watch.

Everything you would need in a golf watch. Plus there's many apps to use for everyday things. I upgraded from the approach s20 and this thing is leaps and bounds better. The customizable watch faces and heart rate monitor are among my favorite features.

• +

  Accurate golf course description and touch screen make planning your way around the course a breeze. The caddy feature is very helpful also.

  No voice to text or temperature sensor

I have a popular smart watch. I first bought this to just play golf, yet I use it as my everyday watch now. You can pair with your phone and get notifications, Etc. It really took me by surprise how much I wear it. Oh yeah... and it is by far the easiest way to gauge distances on the course.

I enjoy having the Approach S62 on my wrist apposed to the belt clip GPS I had. I do find it a bit clumsy entering clubs, at times the Approach S62 seams to want to move on to the next hole. I think it would be nice if I could go back and edit a hole once that happens (i.e. enter club or score).

Very impressed with the features that are included with this watch. It's almost overwhelming! Not only is it great on the course but it is also a great replacement for my Fitbit. I'm not sold on the sensors yet though - they are kind of overkill and probably only appropriate for the most hardcore...

I bought this watch because all the reviews I read said it does everything a Vivo Active type watch does and golf. It does Golf great. Download the manual online. The little book is not helpful. This watch does not do everything in Health Tracking. It does Heart Rate and Pulse Oxygen.

I've used my new S62 twice now, and I love it. I had the S60, which was nice, but this one is such a step forward. My favorite feature is the Virtual Caddy, but the distance to, and beyond, hazards is also terrific. This is the golf watch to ahve.

When I purchased this I wondered if it would be worth the extra money. I am so, so glad I ponied up and got this device. It is very easy to use even for tech illiterate person like my self. I am sure this will help my game.

Garmin s62 is a game changer tells you everything you need to know

This is the most advance model so far in Garmin Golf GPS watch. I find it very easy to use and the bigger screen is so much easier to read when compare to my old Approach S6. The best part is I can change the wrist band colour to match my outfit in a split second.

I have used this for about a month. No previous gps golf device. It’s easy to start and follow. Lots of features. Still learning all of them. Will be handy for years to come.
