finally someone actually reviewing the usage of the watch
Thanks for watching 🙏
I love my s62
The features are great and the tracking app is good too not to mention the phenomenal battery life
Great overview- had my S62 for a year and learned a ton
Thanks David, glad it helped 👍👍
Enjoyed the review. I have had my watch for about 8 months now and love it. As I watch various reviews, I pick up new tips. This one, I picked up the “plays as” feature. Will try it next time on the course. The new feature I am starting to use a lot in the U.S. is the wallet feature. I leave my wallet in the vehicle and pay for the round with the watch. I am also using it when I am out and about. My wallet is on my wrist and it makes it much easier than pulling out my wallet and getting out a credit card and then putting it all back away.
Thanks Rich, glad it helped you get more from your watch. I’m less keen on the pay feature here in the uk as the majority of mainstream banks aren’t part of it
Most helpful review for a new user!
Great to hear, thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe 👍
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks Mike 🙏
This was absolutely wonderful! Thank you I was not aware of all the features on my S62. Thank you very much
Thanks you 🙏
Quality Pal, just got the watch for Xmas so all that info has helped me out
All the best 👍
Awesome, I’m sure you’ll love the watch !
That's very helpful review
Thanks for watching 🙏
Superbe vidéo d’explication
🙏🙏🙏
Nice overview. Just picked one up a few weeks back & am still learning about all the features. Most of the reviews only cover main features.
Thanks Smokey, it was a last minute video idea, so glad it was helpful 👍
Great review!
Thanks Daryl!
Very good review, thank you so much.
🙏🙏🙏
Great review.
Thanks Richard
I’m about to start my second year with the S62 and I have no complaints. Such a great watch and it looks good on and off the course. I have a brown leather band for the nights out on the town
Nice idea with the brown leather strap 👍
How is that battery life?
@@logantic amazing. In golf mode it’ll last 4-5 rounds on one charge. Just in watch mode it lasts a couple weeks. Recharges fast as well
Never knew the switch holes scroll thing thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Yep...it's a good one...covers all of the golf features that you would need. Good battery life too. Although the app could use a bit more features on performance play.
Great review! Very in-depth. Still deciding between this or a Samsung watch with your typical golf app
Thanks so much Golf Icons 👍 that’s a tricky decision. If you’ve already got the smart watch, I’d probably try that first and see how you get on, before shelling out for the S62.
I have about 7 games on my S62, and it’s Phenomenal!
Go for Garmin, I have the Samsung too and the differences are pretty evident
Easy to follow review, thanks for the posting. Have had this watch for 6 months now and it’s a great tool for improving my golf and a great watch for day to day use.
Thanks so much for watching 👍 glad you’re getting on great with it
Very helpful! After my first weekend using it I love it. I was trying to figure out how to tell the watch I hit a club when it doesn’t recognize. For example, when I hit lightly with my lob wedge it doesn’t always capture that I just hit the ball. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks 🙏 no way to enter it manually at the time if it didn’t register , will have to add the shot in the app after. If you notice maybe make an aggressive practice swing?
Great video mate just got an S62 golfing in about an hour for the first time with the watch so this was extremely helpful.
Great stuff, play well 👍
i was plan to buy s62 but... I bought epic gen2.
Much better screen.. I love it...^^
Great call, if I wanted to use the watch off course too, that’s what I’d go for (if budget allowed) 👍
Very good and very helpfull,casn you tell me why my putting stats are not working,and dont seem to register.
If it’s not asking you to enter your putts at the end of the hoe you need to turn stat tracking on in the setting.
Thanks for the reply.All my stat tracking is on,and it askes me for how many putts i have had .

I have a regular Garmin watch with the golf app which does not have all the features but does the basics the same. I initially loved it but as I started playing more courses, I realized the maps can be incomplete, depending on the course. It sometimes doesn't register the location of hazards. Have you noticed that? I ended up using my GolfShot App on my phone which is much more complete.
Thanks for watching. I’ve only noticed it once, the watch was missing some bunkers and a pond. But to be fair to the Garmin watch, the same hazards were also missing on other brand’s gps units too, so I’m guessing they must using some of the same data 🤷♂️ generally though, I’ve not had a problem.
I am looking into buying either a s62 garmin watch or a Fenix 6 sapphire as they are on sale too right now
Sorry just seen this, so not sure if you’ve bought already. Personally, I’d go with the S62, or if your budget can stretch, maybe see how much you can get an Epix 2 for instead
How do you change the date try
What are the 2 numbers indicated in the "steps" section?
I’ve gone from a Tom Tom golf gps watch which lasted years, to aimbuddy and I can’t stand it. So now looking at this one, but one feature I always found really useful of the TomTom was the layup feature. It would show distances to leave a 75/100/150 yds shot. Does this have the same type of feature ?
Yes if I remember correctly it does. Pretty sure I show it in the on course review - WHAT OTHERS AREN'T TELLING YOU! Garmin approach S62 Golf Watch Review

I have a Garmin Approach s60 and a s62 watches has the Garmin Approach watches have any value to upgrade???
If you’re happy with the S62 and not in desperate need for the better screen on the s70x probably not worth the upgrade. But if you want the latest version with the incremental upgrades plus the massively improved screen, then it might be worth the upgrade 👍
I was looking at buying this watch for golf. Does it also have the ability to track the quality of your sleep like Apple Watches can.
Yes I believe it does, but it is a pretty bulky watch, so you’ll need to be happy wearing it to bed every night to get the benefit
Can i view past activities thru this device.. a history or somethin like that
Yeah I believe you can, there should be a widget showing your last activity. If you click into that an scroll you should get a list. Not sure how far it goes back though, so you may have to view them on the app instead
Hi, Someone know how to include a new hybrid in the list?
You add the club in the Garmin Golf app under ‘My Bag’
Thanks!. Quick Q: Manually update date ? GPS isn’t updating.. 😢
Sorry, I don’t have the watch anymore, but I’m pretty sure there is an option for manual time in the main watch settings (not the golf settings)
This is a great review and has helped me alot with a potential purchase. The watch seems clunky and not really intuitive at all. IT seems as though you would spend minutes after every shot inputting data into it and just end up holding you up and slowing you down whilst playing.
Not so sure anymore if i want this now.
Thanks Phil, you might want to check out my full review here - ruclips.net/video/fOpSHBBxgOk/видео.html
You don't have to utilise the club tracking data after every shot, it's pretty easy to turn it off in the menu. In terms of usability, you can look at it from two perspectives - with touch screen and 5 buttons, it's pretty easy to navigate the menus and options once you get used to it....but with so much packed into the watch, there's a lot to get in your way if you're not comfortable using it. If you're not bothered about smart caddy, pin pointer and off-course GPS capabilities and health monitoring for non-golf activities then I'd recommend dropping down to the Garmin S42, or maybe even the entry level S12 - I've got full reviews on both :)
I have a very old.s42.and it struggles to pick up shots especially with driver does it work.any better with s62?. That's without the sensors
I’ve had the s62 for over a year and it picks up 99% of your shots
Can’t say I’ve had that problem, but my s42 is only a year old, so I’m afraid I can’t really comment. However, the S62 does have far more sensors in it, so I would t be surprised if the s62 was more accurate and responsive in detecting when you’ve taken your shot
@@gunsbartone is it confused between the real shot and when you take a practice swing?
I don’t have the numbers on the top of the watch so I can see how far I hit the ball, how do I get that feature to appear?
I’ll see if it can find a menu setting next time I use the watch
@@GolfGuyReviews I did find the reason why, I only had big numbers activated, after deactivate this function, the virtual caddie appear.
Does the action button get pressed by accident when performing a swing?
I didn’t find it to be an issue. It may have happened occasionally, but I have skinny wrists so the watch is pretty big on me
@@GolfGuyReviews thank you! Lastly, what happens when that button gets pressed within a round(swing)?
How to turn on GPS in this S62, when i click to the feature such as running or walking
I'm sorry, I no longer have the watch
The gesture always on is not working on my s62. It does not turn on when I move my wrist toward my face to look at it
Sorry to hear that, maybe your watch needs to be reset?
Actually pretty good job... only thing is u could have gone out and played a hole with it to see everything working real time.... was thinking about upgrading to the S70 but maybe not, we'll see... S70 was just on a deal for the larger face for $550.... but thats still $150 more than I paid just now for my S62, even though the S70 screen looks amazing........
Thanks. You can see me using the watch in real time in my full review 👍
Is there a way to factor reset the watch
Should be a factory reset in the main settings menu - somewhere near the bottom usually
Where can I find the full review? Thanks

CT10s are a pain, I took them out, as long as the battery error is not connected and blocks you, I will not use them. FIX needed is to notify once and go away for that round. I'm not changing batteries on the course, also it really should be able to tell you which clubs are not registering. wasted money on CT10 until they change the programming.
Is there an annual or monthly charge for service?
Only if you want to unlock the green undulation information
need to show how to disable club sensors from Garmin approach 62. I'm tired of the sensor's batteries issues. Garmin 62 unusable now
I no longer have this watch I’m afraid
I HAVE A GARMIN APPROACH S62 WATCH APP DO i need??
Just the Garmin golf and Gamin connect apps
Is it waterproof
Up to 50m according to the manual
It was the symbol for NUMBER before it was called a HASHTAG sign.
Thanks, but what I think I was getting at was that I realised they are showing the hole number in two places on the same screen (the number symbol and the 1-18 marker around the outside)
I have a Garmin golf watch. Never has worked. Thought I bought the best but it’s the worst
Oh no, sorry to hear you’re not getting on with it.
Can't imagine dropping this kind of money on a watch doing the exact thing a 10.00$ app can do..
To be fair it does a lot more than any $10 app…but I get your point and for many golfers you’re not wrong
En français svp

Une démo et un texte simple
Much too big on the arm, no go……! Buy the 42!
For some, absolutely, a bit too big for me
Schade auf deutsch wäre sehr toll, da die Uhr sehr schwer zu verstehen ist.
Es tut mir leid, aber die Übersetzung ergab für mich keinen Sinn. Kannst du bitte umformulieren?
Sadly I bought one. It’s very difficult to understand and use. Get something more simple.
Sorry to hear you're not getting on with it. Hopefully this video will help others. I've produced full reviews on the Garmin S42 and S12 also.
much too big!
On my skinny wrist, yes. But not for others with bigger wrists 👍
It's rubbish.
Fair enough
you should talk slowly to make it easier to follow.
I got this watch..very disappointed with the color of the screen.. poor quality. Is good for golf, and that about it.. don't waste money buying this.
The screen is very basic looking compared to more modern OLED watches
