Im new to golf. This watch is a great help to improve my game. Provides me distance and other functions as well as health updates. It integrates with my iPhone easily!

Features and battery life great
Had the watch for a month. I've used the GOLF GPS very accurate distances, I do not GOLF every week so the other strength is the battery (when not using GOLF)

Good not great
I actually started with a Fenix 8 but didn't feel the quality was there for the price. The S70 costs quite a bit less and overall is easier to use. The interface is clean and easy to set up. I see no value in the Garmin Golf App though even when paired with the watch. Having used GolfShot for a year+ having the same data on my Apple Watch and the phone is much better than just using your watch. Still need to get deeper into the features (5 rounds of play to get virtual caddie). Biggest sellin...

All the Bells and Whistles
I had a Garmin Approach S20 for years and it worked well for a golf watch. I was given the opportunity to upgrade to the Garmin S70. At first I thought I didn't need all of the bells and whistles but I was wrong. I enjoy all the data the S70 offers. Some of my favorite features are the plays like distance, the built in caddie and the tempo training for irons and drivers! What would make the S70 better? A different color other than black and a tempo trainer for putting. I'm enjoying all th...

Love all features but sometimes charging is very finicky

Replacement watch
The watch is fantastic. Hope this last longer than the first one. I would recommend the watch to anyone who plays golf

Great Upgrade
I have had the S70 for about 3 weeks now and it is great. Upgraded from the S62. Battery life is a game changer, the graphics are clearer, and the function are wonderful. If you are on the fence about buying it, don't wait.

Great Watch
I have owned this new version for about four weeks and I absolutely love it. I had the older 62 model and appreciate the extra battery and display resolution. This is now my favorite everyday watch. -Sam

There's things I liked better about the S62
I've had the S62 for the past couple of years. There's things that I like about the S70, for sure. But I really don't like the one feature about the S70 (I think the S62 was better). When I've completed a hole, the S62 had you enter the number of strokes, number of putts, and number of penalty strokes. The S70 has added another screen to indicate if I'd hit the fairway or missed to the left or right. I don't like this extra screen on the S70. I own the CT10 sensors so I already get this in...

Some positive and some negative
I like the Find my phone option. Don’t like the scoring process. When I get a text on my phone I don’t on my watch even though the setting is accurate. I prefer my old S62 but they discontinued it.

Looks great...but lacking functionality
I was excited to use this product to track my shots and for the virtual caddie feature. This feature has you create your exact bag of clubs in the app. So when you swing your club, it will ask you what you used and you should be able to select your clubs, versus the default every club that is in there. This function has never worked for me, and has resulted in a number of troubleshooting sessions with support and even a replacement device which is still having the same issues. The issue is that ...

Game Changer!
I bought this watch on a recommendation from a friend (and much better golfer) due to its versatility of not only being a golf oriented watch, but replacing all the smart watch features that my Galaxy watch provided. This thing does that and then some. I have much to learn with all the new golf features, but my first round using it absolutely played a part in my round being as good as it was. I will say if you're a bigger guy like me the standard band is a little short, but the Quickshot 22s Gar...

More usage than just a golf watch
I bought this a month ago and it has taken some time to learn the details with the watch. I have used it on the golf course and learned how to keep score and other aspects of the watch. It just takes time to learn and apply.

Awesome Watch
Had this a few weeks and love it. Coming from an Apple Watch the battery life is unbelievable. Picked up some approach CT10 sensors and now I can see my whole round, how far I hit each shot.
From Garmin
Love it except
Absolutely fun. I got the CT10 to go with it. The only thing that makes absolutely no sense is why you cannot attach a seven Wood it is ridiculous with the technology. I’ve noticed lots of complaints about it to fix this issue.

Works well
This is my 3rd Garmin, replacing my last version, it seems to work well, fairly easy to manage.

Great Watch
Best watch I have had. Great information. Very accurate. Still exploring all of the features, but so far all is great.
From Garmin
Excellent Watch!
Awesome battery life compared most smartwatches on the market. Works very well for Golf and provides good post game summaries. 5 Stars all the way for the analytics and data it provides. 47mm is a nice size, the dial and the red crown, is very attractive! The interface took a bit of getting used to, but friendly nonetheless. Missing some of the regular smartwatch functionalities, such as answering calls, writing text responses etc. So far, had to download 3 apps to make it all work: Connect ...

S70 is worth it
Had my S70 over two years now. Works great and the slope distances are accurate. I also have a Z82 which I use when I can’t tell where the pin is. Plays like distances are a little aggressive.
