Garmin Approach S20

Bought this more based on the Garmin reputation more than the description I thought the price was reasonable. use it mainly for golf. off the instructions I thought it was going to be fiddly to perform the functions but the watch is quite intuitive and I easily kept my score moved the flag and even checked distances to hazards without holding up play. The Bluetooth connection was easy and it uploads to my apple iPhone where you can view your scorecard round after round.

It synced with my fitness pal

I can't yet get it to react to my messages etc but it must be something simple I am missing

I would advise anyone to buy this garmin approach 22 it works for me and does not slow down the pace of play like the hand held units can sometimes do.

Easy to use, easy to wear. All the features I want. This is my second Garmin golf watch. First was an S1. I am impressed at the speed the S20 operates at and the very long battery life. This is a watch you can wear daily if you wish and keep track of your exercise activity (walking). I have only used it once on the golf course so far but very intuitive to work with and accurate. It is easy to get to the golf features of scoring, checking hazard distance, and noting distance of a shot you just hit. It has paired quickly with my I-phone and I can see incoming texts, emails and calls without going back to my phone. A great feature and I especially am impressed with the value.

My Garmin Approach S2 was having trouble holding a charge so that gave me a good excuse to upgrade to the Approach S20. GolfTech's usual low pricing and 2nd day free shipping made the question of where to buy it a non-issue - GolfTech, of course!

The watch itself is a great improvement from the S2. I like the movable flag position to eliminate guess work on the exact yardage. The hazard distances are very handy to make layup decisions. Battery life is much better, even compared to an S2 with a good battery.

The only minor complaint I had was the position of the buttons. I wish they would have followed the S2 style of function-select and "ok" on the left and up/down in the right. Instead, the S20 has up/down on the left and function-select and "ok" on the right. So during my relearning, I'm having to think "what's the opposite of the S2?". At some point the S20 layout will become automatic. It works just as well, it's just the golfer that needs retraining.

All things considered, the Garmin Approach S20 is a great watch at a good price. And GolfTech makes it an even better deal. If you need a GPS watch or need to replace your GPS watch, I recommend you get the S20 (and get it at GolfTech )

This watch is so accurate and I love it keeping score (some soft putts you have to add manually). Takes a small measure of getting use to jumping from one function to another, but it is a minor issue. Works very well in bright sunlight. You will not be disappointed, get it and enjoy!

I find the S20 to be very accurate so far. Have had it for 3 weeks and used it 4 times at 3 different courses. Very happy with it .
