Accurate to your game no watch matches every one is slightly different range only by a metre or so
But use your watch to get your club ranges and it’s a good tool battery life is good for more than one game
Wasn’t sure if this would be very helpful to me as I am a relative golf novice. However, decided to give one a try and finding it really helpful to plan which club to use. I certainly think this has improved my game.
Great accuracy, no issues with battery life and very neat on the wrist. Only draw back is it doesn’t connect to the app via Bluetooth.
Best value no gimics straight forward easy to use. Use for golf every day and as an ordinary watch. Appears flimsy at first but has weathered well. This is my second watch bought when I thought the first was broken only to find it was the charging cable that had given up the ghost. Glad to have a spare though. Will go for two rounds or 5 days ordinary use.

I have had this Garmin only a couple of weeks but am very happy with it. It is light on the wrist, appears to be accurate and the battery life adequate for any average golf course.
Not used all functions yet but looks good so fa
Easy to use,good battery life,better than expected.does everything I need it to do for golf.this watch is excellent quality great product at a great price
Very happy with this product. Ease of use and convenience during play. I had to contact the service provider for assistance in setting it up and they were most helpful
The watch takes a bit of getting used to and at times seems to have a mind of its own. Distances seem pretty accurate. All in all though good value for money.
Very comfortable to wear accurate measurements and updates as you move to each hole. Would highly recommend as it is a good price for the item.
Yardage to front, centre and middle of green. Lightweight, easy to use. Once you know your own club yardages, this will improve your game, no more looking for fairway markers etc. Doesn’t interfere with swing. Value for money. Doesn’t have Bluetooth so won’t link direct to the Garmin app, you have to connect the phone to a pc to update your data to Garmin Express.
I purchased this watch after a recommendation from a fellow golfer, it has in the short time I have used it helped my game
Perfectly OK for my daughter she has never complained about the watch instead she appreciate it.
Picks up courses well via GPS. Navigation of device menus whilst on the course is not as intuitive as it might be, unless it’s just me. Got 30 off on Prime Day which made it a better deal than it would otherwise have been. Can only link to your PC via cable; no Bluetooth for connecting the phone app to it so may need to look at higher spec models if that’s important to you.
This was a gift to my wife, who is familiarising herself with its operation. She is very pleased with it so far.
It does change the game of golf. It’s the cheapest on the market, and still works well
Awesome basic golf watch for measuring yards. Nice and basis woulove it to work on phone app but with it the basic one it works on laptop.
I had the S1 originally which was basic but all I needed/wanted only replaced it with S10 as the strap broke. The s10 is just as good probably better as it has distanced to hazards. Battery life is good did 27 holes with loads of life still left. If u want a watch with no faffing around, this is the 1 for you.
Great purchase & cheap at 110 ! – does exactly what it needs to. Has helped me loads with judging shots to the green. Very pleased with this watch.
I bought it to replace a S1 i have had for many happy years, but unfortunately dropped & drove over it.
With the S1 now obsolete, I was looking for the most similar at the best price. The S10 has all & more of the functions of the S1 & I am now getting used to navigating through them. The S10 is certainly lighter than the S1, but I’m a little worried that the strap is certainly flimsy in comparison, & a bit fiddly to adjust.
Prefer the plug in charger on the S10, & the charging time is certainly improved.
I’ve only had it about 4 weeks, so early days, but so far so good.

Don’t need a load of complex features – I just wanted a replacement for my S2 Approach but with better battery life. The unit gives plenty of information on hazards and greens, and for under 100 on a prime deal was fantastic value for money.
As the Approach S10 is an “OLD” product it needed a complete upgrade which requires loading the App on a Laptop to do the download to the Watch which takes quite a bit of time but works ok
It is accurate with a very good battery life. It really helps my club selection, but doesn’t take the shots for me.
Sits on wrist well looks smart relatively easy to use once used a few times.
Has distances to front and back for 99% of bunkers/ditches/water hazards.
Lightweight and sleek looking.
Has been a good purchase at competitive price.
Great watch. Very accurate for distances but I was playing a venue that had 2 courses on it and it was getting mixed up where I was at times. Can’t fault it if your playing a venue with only 1 course
Single figure golfer .I have a laser range finder and always fancied a watch to try .this is low price but does everything you could want .it’s not a touch screen but the buttons are easy to use even with my sausage fingers.battery life is pretty good and the screen is great even in sunlight 8/10
Nice and light to wear, and seems accurate. Battery life much better than my old one – get 3 rounds instead of 1.
There are two main problems with it. It takes ages to locate a satellite; usually it times out and you have to start again, then you can choose the course you want. The other problem is less of an issue but irritating when it happens. Normally, it changes to the next hole OK but if it doesn’t, it is fiddly to change manually. On my old Garmin S2 you just press one of the buttons to change hole; now yo have to press a button to say you want to change hole and only then can you change. The buttons aren’t always responsive.
Great value, as GPS accurate as ones twice the price. To avoid frustration takke time to download and read fully the user guide before you go play golf, then you will understand and navigate the functions better. I will say it again… GREAT VALUE!
eally good and fairly accurate. also a really comfortable watch to wear and also great watch face. And doesn’t laugh at me when if duff the ball!
Work fine and quite accurate distance after I worked how to use the watch
Great price on B-Friday for a good bit of kit. Good accuracy on the course.
Does exactly what you want it to do and more. Great value for money.
Managed to use this before the latest lockdown and i’m very pleased with it on my local course. Wanting to try it on different courses. Appears to work well on local course
Good entry level golf watch. The only criticism is the strap is very thin and quite awkward to get done up properly.
The delivery of the watch was on time, and very securely delivered. Really nice watch, although instructions a bit sparse. I wasted a lot of time trying to access “demo mode” (see image of what appears on the watch – simple enough but kept going to “Start Round” & searching for satellites instead).
I decided to email Garmin Product Support & eventually they confirmed (1) demo mode on my new watch was disabled and (2) demo mode on their watch was disabled too! They didn’t know when or why the demo was disabled, so are investigating. Hopefully, it’ll be sorted soon.

It finds the golf courses fairly quickly however it sometimes mixes holes up if the are fairly close to each other.
First time I have had one can I say it is very good still learning what it can do me being old takes time to sink in !! But for the price I does exactly what I want it to do & More
The clarity of the screen, measurement options and battery life are the best features. The control buttons continue to confuse me but that might be because I had a much earlier version of the S1.
I also like the fact that the strap can be changed if it breaks- as my S1 did but it was a fixed, unchangeable item.
This is a good golf watch, gives you the accurate yardages to front/middle/back of the greens, hazards and etc. When it starts, it takes a couple of minutes to locate the course, here you go. The battery life gives you three full rounds when it is new and fully charged, then reduces to two in about 4 months. I am happy with its performance.
The only improvement needed for this watch is the watch straps. One watch strap came completely loose in the first 2 months, the watch fell out of my wrist during a golf swing. This was because the glue that holds the watch and the strap became inactive. The same happened to the replacement watch in 6 months. I see that there are two screws on each side of the straps in the 2nd replacement watch, this would hopefully eliminate the glue problem.
Wanted to know the yardage as I approached the green, and this does it well. Keep forgetting how to ‘measure the distance of the shot’ and it’s pressing the top right button. If I had to say anything negative it would be it takes quite a few minutes to ‘locate satellites’, so advise switching it on as soon as you arrive at the Course. Other than that, I love it.
You need to use Garmin Express to download your scorecard and this isn’t available on Chromebook. This doesn’t have bluetooth either, so can’t use Garmin Express on mobile either. Luckily we had an old Windows laptop so did data transfer on that which is annoying as the laptop is so slowww to boot up as it’s old, hence the Chromebook. Garmin did a crafty thing there. Apart from this annoyance the product itself works fine.
Great product and easy to use with the Garmin app also. It is accurate and helps to drill down on your golf game should you be looking to search for your distances for each club. The watch allows message and email notifications. It also tells you who is calling. So operates as a smart watch almost too. Great product.
I like the fact that it gives you a better idea of what club to use for your next shot. I’ve been using this item on a few golf courses and found it very helpful.
The thing I did not like is the strap. It’s so light it takes me quite a few goes to get the end threaded through to do it up. My other Garmin watches were so much easier to put on.
Like most of these type of watches which i only use for golf so often reads a different distance to the green with the other watches my mates use. Not a problem for me as my golf is not that good to worry.
Don’t think that I need all the other Information the watch gives me. For me the simpler the better
this watch will
It is accurate and really helps select the right club for the right distance. At least if you know what your average distance is per club. As an incompetent golfer I know that 100 yards is approximately a 7 club length. That helps select the appropriate club for longer or shorter distances. What I like less is the stroke counting facility. Sometimes I mess up the count on a hole and I haven’t found out yet how to correct it. I now end up with an inaccurate count for the round. Anyway, I think it is an excellent help and should be part of every golfer’s equipme
GPS is a big improvement on my old Skycaddie watch. I believe it is more accurate, lighter on the wrist, improved battery life and very clear and easy to read. In addition the lay up yardages and distance to hazards, very good.
Highly recommended.
Great watch and does a good job. No complaints about the watch, nice lightweight and a clear screen, also battery life is really good.
Only down side is that you can’t sync your rounds directly onto a tablet/phone using the charging cable. To sync you need a laptop/mac, and connect using the cable.
Is more of an inconvenience than an issue, especially if you don’t use a laptop very often!!
Come on Garmin, let’s have an app you can use to sync via the charging cable.
Hopefully someone will tell me I’m wrong, and there is a way of doing it!!
This watch can be quite frustrating when out on the golf course. I play off the ladies’ tees and the watch only moves on to the next hole if it happens to pass the gents’ tee. Otherwise you have to manually move it on which can be a bit fiddly. Often coming up with the “end round” option.
It sometimes takes time to locate the current golf course requiring a few attempts to do so.
Battery lasts for one round (18 holes) and it is best if you leave it on charge until your next round of golf.
For such a low price for a Garmin, GPS golf watch the device performs perfectly.
Easy to read display,
Tells you the distance to hazards, how wide the hazards are and how far to doglegs.
Gives you 100,150,200 layup distances.
Great battery life and feels really comfortable to wear.
It seems to pretty accurate, i play with other golfers who have other more expensive watches and we are always within a yard or 2 of each other.
It’s pretty simple to operate, the App doesn’t give you much apart from a record of your scores, so doesn’t work out handicap or putts per roaound etc
Arrived on time well packaged. Value for money golfers watch. Simple setup and although the buttons are a bit fiddly to begin with, it doesn’t take long to master them. if you require courses, yardages and basic info of the course then I would recommend this.
I like the grey colour that I had chosen and I like the flexibility of the strap which is easy to do up.
Initially I found it tricky to know which buttons to use for which functions but after about 4 games I am now more familiar with what I need to do to find the hazard distances etc. I think it would help greatly if the instructions sent out with the watch were a bit more explicit. I had to use trial and error as this watch replaced my previous Bushnell Neo golf watch and I was used to that system and this new watch is a little different to operate.
Time will tell how impressed I become on this watch as its really too early to tell properly yet.

It’s still early days but so far I am very pleased with the watch itself. I am finding it easy to use and accurate so it helps with my club selection. The only negative is the strap seems flimsy and I’m not sure how long it will las
Easy to charge and shows percentage of battery charged! Sometimes skips holes or sticks at the hole just played but easily enough remedied with a bit of patience!
This is an accurate lightweight golf watch and came up to most of my expectations. However, I have used the S2
and find the control buttons on the S10 not as simple to use.
It does have additional features to the S2 and will take time to become used to it.
Good at what matters – quickly picking up courses and an excellent battery life. Quick to charge too.
A bit fiddly though for navigating through the menu and entering scores.
This a very good product which I have come to expect with a Garmin purchase. Battery life is good, covers 18 holes with life left in unit. Have not tried to use it more than 18 yet. Comfortable strap and very light weight. Distances clearly shown and easy to read,
also finds course you are on quickly. Would recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing.
Is a good addition to my game and very accurate for distance to hazards and greens however 2 minor issues , takes longer than my old S1 to find satellites and also if holes are close together doesn’t update and has to be moved forward manually
I had to upgrade from an older Garmin after the screen died, so was very pleased by the new scrollable hazard list on most holes as the older version did not have this function
This version is not touch screen and I find this better as it doesn’t change whilst your hands are in your pockets on a cold day.
The device is accurate and easy to read at a glance
Very happy with i
The product is used for yardage finding on golf courses. The Garmin S10 more comprehensive than my old Garmin S1, and therefore slightly more complicated to use. I hope the strap lasts as long as the watch on this model, as this was a negative of the S1. Up to now I`m very pleased with the product.
Accurate and haven’t experienced any issues so far but have only used it on my club course so far.Haven’t used the App yet so didn’t score it for that reason.
Good value (on Primeday 90 ish )Very easy and straightforward to use. Accurate and looks nice. No issues with battery aft 18 holes. My only criticism is that it is not compatable with the garmin app as it is an old model, so you have to sync it & download your data via PC/Mac. I use a Mac.
The product does what I bought it for – tells me the distance to the front, middle and back of the green. Sometimes , randomly, it doesn’t show the correct hole.
The button presses could ‘feel’ more solid, however as the product is lightweight by design, I feel this suits the watch.
Only downside is that after two rounds the wear is already showing on the backplate as pictured
Lastly this does not connect to the Garmin golf app, you need an s20 if that’s what you’re after (I was just interested in ‘on the day’ yardage, I’m not hoping for a green jacket in the near future anyway(!)

The product is extremely lightweight , which is great for comfort , but I do wonder about the life of the strap for example ….but this is yet to be known given that I have only had the watch a couple of months . The operation is still a bit of a mystery …..it does not seem to correspond to the instructions , although I have always managed to get what I want by experimentation , so will probably crack it soon !!! Overall in these early days , seems to work well and the battery life is better than previous ones I have owned . So far so good.
So far it has located the courses with ease but on occasion it doesn’t switch onto the next hole, especially if the next Tee is near to the previous Green ? In this instance it can be done manually in a matter of seconds. Battery life is good managing so far to get 2 and a half courses roughly on one charge.
Lightweight watch and fits comfortably. Can be a bit “fiddly” on first using till you get used to the operating buttons on each side but generally easy to use. Picks up the courses quite quickly when switched on. Occasionally changes hole too quickly and you need to manually go back. Distances shown are accurate to within 1 or 2 yds against course markers. Wristband is integrated with the watch face and not replaceable separately. Battery easily lasts two full rounds and use as a standard watch afterwards before recharging. Overall, happy enough with the purchase
Good watch but took some time to use as controls are very different from previous model I owned. Beware that it comes preset in metres! You need to change settings to yards. Have now no problem after a few months use.
The multiple and fiddly button pressing process required when changing golf holes manually is ponderous and should be revised. ( It is not a patch on the equivalent and simple process on my Motocaddy golf trolley system.)
Otherwise, an excellent product.
