Great upgrade from the S42 watch.
I just started using the S50 this week. Two rounds in. I use the CT10 shot trackers as well. With the plays like feature and movable pin feature I hardly need to go to my range finder. Loving it so far.

Great Features
The watch meets all my expectations. Great battery life. Also got the Garmin Golf app. I can now select shot position and get green contours on my watch. Like the full hole layout on the watch for hazards and doglegs. Very happy with it so far.

Great features for the price
I bought this a couple weeks ago and I like all the features. I used to have a Apple Watch and a Garmin S20 for golf. Now I have all or most of the features I had with the Apple Watch and I don't have to swap it out for golf. The Golf features are easy to use and the Garmin golf App is a nice feature to review your round.

good watch
i bought this watch to replace my S42, which was a very good watch. 2 buttons was something i had to get used to, but otherwise easy to use.

Love this watch
I bought a S 50 golf watch for my wife for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. We went golfing a week later and it happened to be foggy. I tried using my range finder and it would not give me a distance because of the fog. My wife looked over at me and gave me the yardage from her new watch. That was it. I bought myself a S50 watch and love it also.

Pleased with Garmin S50
I have retina disease which is progressing and makes it difficult for me to use my range finder. The Gramin S50 has been a godsend for me. The color screen is clear and waste for me to see. I know my iron distances very well and the Garmin S50 makes it easy to hit my target. Thank you for a great product.

My S50 Approach Watch
I got this as a birthday gift and I love it. It seems to have all the features and more that a golfer wants. I only wish they would have included a summary guide in the box to remind me of all its possible features. GARMIN support is a big positive here.

First smartwatch
Bought this for two reasons. As I've got older, keeping track of health factors has crept into my daily routines. This watch clicks all the Boxes for that portion. Second is the Golf portion..Seeing I live in NY, I have yet to try this on the course, but am looking forward to trying it out. I'm sure I will not be disappointed.

Love it!
This watch is awesome! I have an Apple Watch that could never make it through a round of golf without the battery dying. This can make it through several, with ease. I originally purchased an S44, but I liked it so much more than my Apple Watch that I wanted a more feature packed Garmin and exchanged for this. I’ve been loving the PlaysLike distances compared to what I’m used to seeing with just normal GPS yardages. The S50 also has no problem getting roughly a week or more between charges. If you’re on the fence, this is the golf watch to buy!

Great Golf GPS
I really enjoy many aspects of the watch for golf. I also wanted it for playing my music when I run. I haven't been able to try that yet, but it seems a bit complicated to get that all set up.

Been very happy with my purchase of the Approach S50. Additional features vs. my old VivoActive. User friendly when playing golf, tracking daily steps or going for a run!

Easy to use, long battery life
This watch easily keeps track of everything I need for golf, as well as my fitness activity. I only need to charge it about once a week which is a huge plus.

Easy, love the accuracy!
I got this about 3 weeks ago, love it. Still learning all of the features, but the accuracy is great after checking my rangefinder for the first few rounds. In addition, the health monitoring is a fantastic bonus.

Perfect golf companion….with fringe benefits!!
After hours of poring over reviews and videos, I finally acquired the Garmin S50 smart watch. I have had zero issues during its setup and use. It’s accurate, extremely light, gorgeous and fun to use. In fact, three of my golf buddies have since purchased one for themselves. I’ve only explored 20% of the S50’s capabilities but so far I’m 100% satisfied.

Two in One!!
I have had an Approach S20 for years and was looking to upgrade. The Approach S50 looked promising with the same basic features as the S20 on a color touch. In addition, it also does the work of my Forerunner 35 by tracking my walking, running and cycling activities. As icing on the cake, they gave me a discount for trading in my Approach S20. I am very satified with this product.

Great for golf and some fitness activities
I count steps daily. Records them easily. So far GPS picks up golf courses quickly and measures relatively accurately.

MY FIRST SMART WATCH & GLAD I PICKED GARMIN S50!
I've always wanted a smart watch, but was unsure if I really needed it. This watch exceeded my expectations. I'm impressed with the golf, health, training, notifications, sleep mode and especially the battery life. Stop overthinking this and just buy this watch. You will not be disappointed!!. It's also sleek and beautiful, comfortable, not bulky
