Which GPS watch ?

[OLgolfer]

I bought and sent back the expensive Garmin S60. The extra features you get like course map and touchscreen are useless and too fiddly to actually be useful.

I have an old garmin front middle back only watch and it does 90% of what I need.

Seems fine I measured it on the yard markers on my course and its pretty bang on,

I would look to get a Garmin s60 second hand or stretch budget to £250 which they can be had for new.. Full map view, detects shots and is a great multi sports watch and everyday use watch... This is what I have gone over to from using a Apple Watch.. And can't fault it, it don't detect little chips and putts, but you can dd that on screen after.. great bit of kit...

Agreed. Garmin S60 for me too. Can’t fault it.

Hi, where are they being sold for £250? Been thinking about getting a S60 for a while

Seller on eBay full.store had white and black at £255 I got one for my dad and mate also purchased.. I got mine for 269 from AG

Think that's the s6 he means not the s60, there is a diffrence between the two

nope the s60 is what I got but price was £255

Has anybody tried the Garmin S10 watch?

Do you have to pay a yearly subscription on Golfbuddy watches ???

I have this - works for my needs - distance to front / back / middle of green
It has the hazards as well but I don't use that

It can be a bit fiddly at first to get the nag of navigation but I soon worked that out

It was a gamble as I was unsure if it would have my course on it - thankfully yes

It's especially useful for me as when I'm playing I can't always remember my metres to yards conversions (and you can set it to either)

PS Thoughts are with you at this anxious time at The SoL

No, not any fees

The new Garmin s40 is also a option..

Thanks for that. I don't need no fancy water pictures. I just need the distance to the F/M/B of the green.

Thanks for the thoughts. My prayers for second are slowly fading.

I’ve been looking at the Garmin S60, but can’t decide if it’s worth the extra for the Premium (ceramic bezel).
If anyone can give their thoughts?

Thanks
