      if you don’t mind a follow-up question, I have an Apple phone/watch and have already purchased the Golfshot Plus app. It has a watch interface, but the interface doesn’t look as user-friendly as the s62. I also am thinking about your advice regarding leaving the phone in the bag and not fiddling with it during a round.
      Do you think the advantages of the s62 are worth dumping the Golfshot app? I’m happy to write off the app if appropriate. I’m just thinking about the benefits of a watch versus a phone.
      Thanks for your help.

    Thanks, for the review keep it coming.
    Just got mine S62 Here is what I find it lacking at the moment.
    1. Club selection for punch shot when you need to punch out a shot. It will let you input the club but no punch shot offer.
    2. There is no re-Tee shot you just get penalize. Once sync through the app it doesn't show your Re-Tee shot it just count as you hit it from the water or wood area.
    3. It is not as accurate as the laser finder it off by couple ft.
    4. S60 when you press the golf button for a couple second all the golf widget like putter area, flag pin point, wind show up there. They need to bring back the widget shortcut like the S60 into the main golf screen. If you able to figure out please post here.
    5. Need WiFi for better connectivity so it don't depend on bluetooth to sync n update.
    6. Need shortcut for GPS, Bluetooth for faster on and off switch.

    I watched all of your video's on the S62 and decided to upgrade from my Approach S6. Unfortunately, the first one I bought from Golf Town I couldn't get to work properly. It found my home course, but wouldn't update the GPS and move automatically from hole to hole. I reset back to factory default and still nothing. Brought it back for a replacement and will try again tomorrow. Love the in-depth video's.

  • @petegalindez9961
    @petegalindez9961 3 года назад +2

    Great review. I think it uses a microphone to hear the click of the club hitting the ball to activate the sensor that you actually took a shot. Wish the SkyCaddie had the club tracking because the graphics on that one are insane!!! I find having both the laser range finder and the watch are complementary since none of the watches actually tracks the flag (unless you set it on the unit when you get close enough to see it), but gives you the distance to front, middle and back, then use the range finder for the pin distance…

    @fabiocontratto8784 2 года назад +4

    Actually you can touch the yardage numbers and they then change to an adjusted yardage taking the topography of the course into account. For me this is the best feature of that watch, because in Switzerland we have a lot of hilly courses so the air-line distance doesn't help you a lot. Just as an example: Hole 7 at my home course is an up hill hole. 234 meters to the pin, actually playing 265... This is why i got this watch. That is awesome, especially for courses you have not played before. Crucial for example for an uphill dog leg with a bunker at the "knee". only then you know how for far it really is to carry that bunker
    Also, you can check the current wind and take that into account too. You got to figure it out yourself though, the watch doesn't include the wind into the adjusted yardage numbers but only the slope like mentioned above
    Also a great feature: The pin pointer. I have played a lot of holes where i could not see the green or the flag stick (from tee shots or approaches). The watch gives you a perfect idea of where to hit so you don't have to walk around like an idiot to figure out the direction to the pin...you know what i mean.

      @@ifoundwaldo78 it does but the caddy is pretty much useless because as far is i noticed it only takes direct distance. Not adjusted. Also if you had some crappy shots at the beginning training your virtual caddy, then it will recommend false clubs.
      And, sadly, the adjusted yardages, as well as the normal one, in standard mode does not take wind into account. You have to check on it separately.

      Thanks Giovanni. You can check out the wind feature at 9:50 in the video. Yes, I used to have a gap wedge but I recently removed it from my bag and added a 3 iron. This watch you don't even feel on the wrist. So light and it doesn't get in the way of a swing. Z82 is amazing though too. Just preference.

    The Garmin manual isn't very clear on using the S62 autoshot feature so thanks for explaining it clearly. After my first round with the watch I've been wondering how to record the distance of a shot into the green as it doesn't automatically detect putts and assumed I would have use the manual 'Add Shot' option. Hadn't noticed that it automatically detects that you've reached the green. Of course the stats become flawed with duffed fairway shots and particularly wedges which aren't always hit 100% but I guess it's useful for logging information on full shot club distances. Good video.

    Hello many thanks for your advice i may of had it switched off. I have selected it now and will see whT happens during my next round.

Additionally the manual is suggesting that for virtual caddy to work you have to make a significant purchase ov the ct10 connectors. Thank you i will report back after my next round

  • @daddyharry6065
    @daddyharry6065 2 года назад

    2021 - it is essential with any Garmin watch that has a golf feature that you must choose yes to keeping score. This enables the data to be viewed in the Garmin Golf app. I have a Fenix 5x & this provides distance to pins, then sends data to mobile to view afterwards.

  • @TheOak1ey
    @TheOak1ey 3 года назад +1

    Great video. Quick question if you've gotten round to using the virtual caddy. How does it perform in recommending clubs in relation to wind? For example do you find it gets you to club up if the wind is into you, thats the one thing i cant seem to find anywhere.

    • @LetsPlayThru

      To my knowledge, yes. The caddy should account for wind if you have wind enabled (which means you need the phone nearby).

  • @MO-ss7qt
    @MO-ss7qt 3 года назад +4

    If I may... it does catch your chip shots, but I'd say probably only 50% of them. But I almost always recognize it when I review the round later and can add those shots in using the phone app or on the website. Also, you mentioned that if you forget to enter the club used before your next swing, it skips it. That's another thing you can go in later and edit the club used on forgotten shots. Another thing I've done is added an extra club I call "CPO" (chip/pitch/other) for shots I don't want assigned to a particular club because I don't want it to count towards the average distance for that club. For instance, my sand wedge, I use more for chips than for full swing and the average distance would probably be less than 20 yards. I also assign flubbed shots (that's the "other") to the CPO club. If I totally hose a shot, I don't need that counting against average for the club, it wouldn't help my game when selecting a club. I love this watch for the statistics it keeps. I know so much more about my game. Knowing the true average distance on my clubs was immensely useful. One thing I didn't know before this watch was that I hit a lot of fairways (kind of hard not to remember bad ones). I'm in the upper 92% (of people that own the watch) on that. Unfortunately, I'm only in the 15% for distance with my driver (about 220 yds on avg). That average would be better if I played downwind more! ;)

    • @LetsPlayThru
      @LetsPlayThru  3 года назад

      That is awesome feedback! I’ve seen the same thing happen with my chips, but maybe not quite as often. Have you found that keeping track of your stats has given you new things to work on? Anything that surprised you?

    • @MO-ss7qt
      @MO-ss7qt 3 года назад +2

      @@LetsPlayThru My assumptions about club distance were off before the watch and knowing actual distance really helped me pick the right club. Plus I'm now aware of my club distance gaps. I used to just assume a 10 yard distance gap between all clubs. Awareness helps. Also, it's shown me getting up and down from bunkers is one of my weak spots. But it's giving me an upward trend now because I've worked on that a lot. I work on all of my game, but this helps me to focus on areas that need more attention. One little item on the "course performance" that enlightened me. That feature puts your stats together for all of your rounds on a particular course. I can't find this anymore (software change), but you could see what your best and average score is on every hole. I discovered a hole on my favorite course that I had NEVER gotten a par on. Once I discovered that, you can bet that hole got my full attention ever since. It remains mostly a bogie hole still. But yes, I've par'd it and even birdied it now. It's just damned long and takes a really long second shot even if I hit one of my better drives. I love the ability to go back and review every shot on the computer. I know so much more about my game now after owning this watch a few years. I wish I had it sooner.

    I wear my watch on my right wrist because I am predominantly left handed other than playing golf. The club prompt does not come up because Garmin support said I should be wearing this watch on my leading wrist for better detection. This should be able to detect a swing regardless of which wrist you have it on. Hopefully there will be a software update for this. Great review and I really like the watch, but the marketing for this watch should have been more transparent especially for the price tag.

      It took approx 2-3 min this time. With these things I always recommend locating them right when you get to the course or during warm-up. You don’t want to be standing on the 1st tee waiting.
      Yes it’s super convenient that it just “knows” when you swing.

    Hello! Once you play the 5 rounds to activate the Virtual Caddy, do I need to constantly upload the scorecards forever? i.e. I just started so I'm sure my yardage will get "better", but I don't want to do the scoring on my watch and phone after I activate it. Can I just use the club prompt feature to upgrade my yardages? Thanks again.

    I’m looking into getting the S62 and I’m
    wondering how well it does tracking where the approach shots land if your next shot is a putt.
    Do you have to manually log that shot to be accurate or should I get a CT10 for my putter and it will work seamlessly?
    Thabks

    • @LetsPlayThru
      @LetsPlayThru  3 года назад +1

      Two great questions. The s62 doesn’t automatically log where the shot lands onto the green. My best guess is it approximates it based on distance to the flag. I do wonder myself how that plays into club distance averages, I’ll have to research that. As for putts, it simply asks how many you took and that is a manual entry once you are on the green.

    Great review.
    I have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 which has the shot detection feature (but doesn't allow you to assign clubs). 90% of the time it picks up a real shot, but 10% of the time it either doesn't detect a real shot, or it counts one of my practice swings as a shot. Is there a way to "discard" a practice shot on the watch, or to manually set that a shot was taken if the watch missed it?

    • @LetsPlayThru
      @LetsPlayThru  4 года назад

      I believe that if you swing again it will re-register. But I would have to test that. I don’t think there’s a way to throw out a swing on the watch, but possibly in the app.

I still don't have the virtual caddy working, not sure if it will without playing 5, 18 hole rounds. My biggest concern is that after using the drive it doesn't show at the top, the distance I hit the driver. Do I have to have the virtual caddy working before it will show this?
