Great for golf, activity tracking not so much
All the features for golf are great. I was expecting that the watch would automatically track my runs and walks with a map and mileage, but it doesn't do that. Guess I'm going to have to keep my Oura ring for that feature. I think the sleep tracking is more accurate than Oura and I really like the morning summary to get me going in the morning. It's concise and accurate. The weather feature is also accurate. Great for golf but wish it did more to automatically track my other activities.

Good watch/GPS, as long as it works
Purchased for accurate yardages of GPS and the swing tempo for serious practice. Pros: The yardages are good, the graphics are great, the swing tempo functions flawlessly, feature packed with several available read outs. Cons: Have had a situation with the watch blacking out during a round. Shut it down then restarted and surprisingly it returned to the spot last noted. This is an odd, glitchy problem. Only happened once but Garmin should check this abnormality out. The other problem, is Garmin does not seem to respond to suggestions for the watch! On the website forum, several suggestions were noted, some of which are mine, and Garmin does not seem to respond?

Golf yes, hiking okay, Apple: NO
Have had the watch over a year and works fine for golf and is even decent for hiking but starting last winter, “Garmin Connect” has been a nightmare. I use an iPhone and didn’t have complaints until last winter (6+ months after buying the Approach S70). At first the Connect app would intermittently lose the ability to sync with the watch but now it’s a once only option where I have to go through a series of disconnecting and re-pairing. The killer here is that the S70 communicates all the golf data with that app, but not with the Connect app so I lose “workout” & health data!

Great sports watch
I did research to find the best watch to track my golf game and tracking laps during lap swimming and I assure you this is an excellent watch for these activities. I also am very happy with the Garmin Approach S70 tracking others activities like bike riding. I highly recommend the purchase of this watch!

I had an S62 and S70
I moved up from an S62 to the S70 it is a great improvement, I also have the club sensors , this is where the system needs improvement, it would help if as a player I understood how the distance numbers are correlated, why numbers make no sense. It also would help if I could erase all data for one club, most of the time the longest shot shown are an error. To me it looks as if if was progamed by someone who does not play and does not understand how a player would want to use the data in the real world. There also is a S62 page on Facebook where people are always asking for help , someone from Garmin should be monitoring this to help listen to the problems that people experience, when you had the update failure with the club recommendations failing these people know about before you did. The person that checks does not need to expose himself as a garmin person . Put you could get a lot of real world info

Love this watch!
I absolutely love this watch and have used it every time I play golf, as well as every day use. I feel lost without it. The features are great, the resolution is amazing, and I paired it with the Garmin CT10 club trackers. It has dramatically helped my game!

Love this watch!
I've owned this watch for about 2 months now and just love it. I also bought the sensors for my clubs and love them too. The watch and the sensors are both accurate with keeping golf records and the health features of the watch are also very accurate and helpful.
