I don’t speak english fluently, so could you translate in french. Thank you

S42

First golf watch. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I am pleased. Battery last for at least 2 rounds. And accuracy to the pin ie spot on.

Good Features but Not Intuitive

This watch is basically accurate and has a lot of nice features to allow you to track your game, club yardage, electronic scorecards, accurate course yardage. But it is a cumbersome implementation at times. For example, I’ve not been able to figure out how to correct the club selected after a shot if you accidentally select the wrong club, which is very easy to do. Moving from one screen to the next is okay, but getting back to the “tee shot” screen is an exercise in patience and trial a...

Lightweight and accurate!!

I have used this on multiple courses and it has been super accurate! It is lighter in weight than my other garmin watches. Battery lasts throughout the entire round and well after! Clear screen! Highly recommend for golfers!

Easy to use

I'm able to track my shots and see what areas i need Improvement on!

GPS stopped working after 10 months

GPS stopped working after 10 months. Sent cack for warranty work.

As advertised!

Works great, does everything I need it to do. Easy to figure out. I’m happy!

Difficult to Use

I've been using this for a couple weeks now and still have not figured out all of the features. With only one button, find it difficult to scroll through and consistently find same screens.

Great watch.

I bought the A 42 a yr ago n it's a great watch for golf and all ur activities including sleep. Just wish Garmin would update the info of my golf coarse. Sent n a updated Seascape Golf Links, KH, NC score card a month ago, no update that I'm aware of.

Overall good product!

Good for golf and other smaller features. You can't type text messages or speak into it like an apple watch so you'll need to understand it's a stylish golf watch that has some of those features. It gets notifications connected through your phone which is nice. It can't track workouts but does count steps. For the price, it's a pretty good deal.

Still learning differences between S20 and S42

There is only one button on the S42 and 4 buttons on the S20.

very accurate

I use this along with a laser for accurate shots.. they are within a yard or 2 of each other.. great watch touch screen easier to use than my fenix 5 for golf

Perfect!!!

This is my 2nd S42. My first one crashed after a year or so, but Garmin replaced it at no charge. Great for golf and reporting steps to health insurance. I highly recommend the S42 and Garmin!

Waiting to Golf

Been a great a watch. Waiting to play golf. Live in the central US and have been covered up with snow

Nice Watch

I purchased the watch about a month ago and have only had the chance to use it twice before the snow hit! But it worked flawlessly the two rounds I got to use it.

Love my Garmin 42S watch!

I got it for Christmas and am thoroughly enjoying all the info it provides for me while golfing. One of my favorite features is that it gives me the distance of each shot, this is so beneficial for helping me know what club to use.

Owners Manual instructions are easy to follow.

Just got, haven’t played golf with it, but it appears to be a very helpful device!

A little more expensive, Glad I purchased

I was ready to buy the lower end model, but treated myself to the S42 and thus far glad I did. I like the scorecard feature, shot tracking feature. Let's me track putts. Id purchase again.

Intuitive use

I just recieved as an early Christmas gift.. I have not golfed yet, but I am very comfortable wearing this watch and it has many useful connections to my phone.
