Customers Say

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

This golf-focused smartwatch delivers reliable GPS accuracy and detailed course mapping that serious players will appreciate, though the interface takes some getting used to. Its impressive battery life easily handles multiple rounds between charges, while the bright, readable display remains clear even in direct sunlight. The automatic shot detection and comprehensive game analytics provide valuable insights into your playing patterns, though some may find the touch controls challenging with gloves. While it offers basic smart features for everyday wear, its real strength lies in golf functionality. The comfortable, low-profile design works well on the course, despite occasional GPS hiccups and some users finding the band sizing limited. A solid choice for dedicated golfers who prioritize accurate distance measurements and detailed game tracking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great golf watch Best one yet. I have a s60 and s62 (as well as two in the 20’s series) and this one is superior in almost every way. (And a heck of a lot cheaper as well) Out of all the Garmins I’ve owned this one definitely has the longest battery life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Golf Watch with excellent battery life I received the watch as a gift. It meets and exceeds all my requirements by providing a great golf app and a very nice that I can wear on a daily basis. The weather app and fitness capabilities are great tools as well. The battery life so far is exceptional. On the first charge I was able to track 36 holes of golf on two different days and also wear the watch daily for 10 days before I recharged. I still had battery life remaining when I recharge the watch of the first time. Great watch and so far easy to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must buy!! Great watch and easy to work with interface. Would highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from smaller size and great color graphics I had a very old Garmin golf watch and it finally "was done". So I checked out several golf watches, as there are many out there, now. I still bought a new Garmin Approach S44 and I love it! Very easy to get set up and it charges up quickly. Love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to navigate and ideal for my needs I had an Approach S60 and swapped out for the S44! Best decision ever “easy to navigate and ideal for my needs”!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Golf Watch My Garmin S44 is an excellent golf watch. It does all that I wanted and more. Another bonus is how long the battery lasts before recharging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I’m very pleased with my purchase. Really helps me get distances accurately

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome S50 watch! So glad I went this route over Apple. I’ve been wearing it all day and I’ve never been a watch person before, but I forget I have it on. Plan on getting the Garmin Z30 rangefinder to sync it up and only have to use the range finder once a hole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product. I’ve had many watches and this one is great. Does a lot of features beyond golf. I would really recommend going onto YouTube to learn what Garmin product fits your lifestyle. I wanted one that did a lot of fitness and heart health features which this does. The fabric band is okay. I still though prefer the old band style.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great watch (light, thin, and minimal”ist” I really enjoy how light and thin the watch is. Similar to my whoop you almost forget you’re wearing it. With Garmins ecosystem of products this is a great watch to improve my time on the course. Not needing to have my phone with me and find instant ranges is great to disconnect and play 9 holes walking. I do find it cumbersome to take the watch on and off due to the small wristband. This was an easy fix as there are a ton of 3rd part options and I prefer a silicone band for sweat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great I love the watch and step counter but haven't tried golf yet it's still winter. Can't wait until this spring
Date published: 2026-01-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this watch I've had this Garmin Approach S44 for a month now. I've played up to 7 different courses in 2 different states and had no issues with the watch immediately finding my course. The distances have been spot on. No longer do I need to carry my phone with me to get distances. The watch band is very comfortable and comes in different colors. I would definitely recommend this watch for the price. You can find and pay more for added features but for me it wasn't necessary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amaxing watch love it great options for sports Great watch good for golfing and any sports been using it for my swimming and records your every movement amazing great device!
Date published: 2026-01-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Size is a factor. I purchased this and as a woman I thought that the smaller 42mm would be fine. It really is BUT since I have a 47mm Forerunner and Fenix 8, this watch felt very small. I will keep this as it does cover all the golf basics but I have now also purchased the S70 to replace it. I should have known better. There’s no doubt this S50 is great thought and pairs with the R10 well. Good on course info is really what I need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keeps you young! I received for Christmas and still learning my Approach and it’s just great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game Improvement Watch! Got the S44 for Christmas from my wife and have used it everytime I have played since(a considerable amount of games). The watch has a great look and comfortable low profile feel at the perfect size. The features I like the most are the real time distance to flag, easy score keeping, and hole/hazard layout. Forget your range finder, you won't need it. Everytime we have compared distance using my golf buddies very nice range finder, the S44 was exactly on the dot. Makes club selection almost to easy. The scoring is amazing as well, I don't even use the scorecard anymore. Great value, easy to see in full sun, full featured smart watch for golf. Can't go wrong with the S44!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Should have sooner. Received S44 for Christmas. Now no more guessing… any yardage. No more asking the other players… what’s the yardage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features I got it as a Christmas gift and let’s just say, it’s the best ive ever gotten! Don’t even need my range finder or anything, super accurate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great battery life I bought this on the black friday sale. Although I haven't used it for golf yet, I'm in New England so I might get to use it once or twice between now and spring. I think it is easier to use than the S42 and the battery lasts a lot longer. I honestly cant wait for spring.
Date published: 2025-12-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features and looks Good! Got my Approach S44 for my birthday and love it! Love how it looks/feels, and the ease of working through the menu. Has helped with yardage on the course. Will need to play with it a bit more as spring rolls around, but love my Approach S44 so far.
Date published: 2025-12-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features and very easy to use! I am very happy with my Approach S44. It was very easy to use on the first day on my course. I plan on taking to Hawaii when I play some course over there that I am not familiar with. It connects to my iPhone which makes it very convenient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best purchase I've made in a long time. There are so many golf watches out there, and I've had an early Garmin for a long time. Started reading up on these, and just sorta guessed and picked this one. I already want a second for my travel golf bag. It's simply a joy. Makes me smile.
