Works great

I know the yardages are not exact, but this gives a pretty good idea. I’ve had this S42 for a couple of years now with no issues.

Loving my approach S42

I love it! I was a bit apprehensive when I was told the crystal on my approach s 40 couldn’t be repaired. So I ordered the s 42 and am loving the bigger print easier to read.

S42

Takes forever to upload the course. Sometimes I'm 3 holes in before the maps update. I've tried updating maps before I leave and still takes forever to update to the course I'm on.

They don't last long

This is my 3rd S42. The 1st one died and l got a refurbished one free. That died and I got this one (refurbished) for a discounted price.

Horrible!

Received as a gift this Christmas. It keeps freezing up while on my wrist and stops working. I have to continue to plug it into the charger to get it to unfeeze. I'm now in MX for a couple months and am unable to return it. Hoping they'll back me up when I return in March!

Watch is great, Battery life for golf poor.

Love the watch and the different available faces. However, I bought it for golf and after 2 months, it would lose battery power after 11 to 13holes. I sent it back to the manufacture, they sent it back and it worked for 18 holes TWICE and then low battery BACK TO NORMAL. I am a single digit golfer and expected more. I'll be looking for something with a proven battery life for 18 holes. .

Complicated

I am eighty one years old. I find the . the watch does a great job counting the shot and recording. I get confused and end up hitting the wrong button almost every time. I may had changed setting upon first using the watch but the watch and I get into an argument when I just want to record the correct score. You tube goes to fast in showing you how to use the watch and I get confused. Would love a simple instruction sheet on how to record the score or change it if the watch is incorrect.
