Love my Garmin Approach® S42. Use it every time Igogolfing,which is abut once week! I'm a hacker. so don't need to know the exact distance to the green. To know where Ther front and back of the green are the most help. It also great to be able to move the pin on the green. The messaging is useless. It would be great to know the temperature. Love the shot distance measurement!

This is the second Garmin S42 I have had in 3-4 years. Garmin sent me this one to replace one that suddenly stopped being able to connect to GPS. I have had my current watch for about a year and it has been showing a low memory warning and sometimes not uploading my rounds to my Garmin app. Garmin support tried to assist, but after trying all their solutions, I am still getting this warning on my display. Today, mid round, my watch lost the hole layout display and only gave me simple yardage with no front/middle/back yardage to the hole. After the front 9, I tried restarting the watch and it then would not find any courses, displaying a “cannot find courses” error message. I followed the Garmin support instructions to reinstall courses by connecting the watch to Garmin Connect on my PC. It took 4 attempts for this to actually work. I am sceptical that it will work on my next round. I am sure I will still get the low memory warning or will not even load courses. I would be hesitant to purchase another Garmin Golf watch and am considerIng either the Bushnell iON watch or the BUSHNELL Phantom 3 Slope GPS handheld. I don't need the fashionability or the lifestyle features that Garmin is known for but just need a reliable product on the course.

I bought this a few years ago and it worked very well. A few weeks ago the touch screen stopped working. I can no longer change the hole I'm on once I start a round. I tried everything listed on the support web page. I reset the watch to factory defaults and reinstalled software on my phone. Nothing worked. I can not make any adjustments on screens that give show a plus sign to increase a number or a minus sign to decrease a number. It is very frustrating that the watch has failed.

Love the watch and the different available faces. However, I bought it for golf and after 2 months, it would lose battery power after 11 to 13holes. I sent it back to the manufacture, they sent it back and it worked for 18 holes TWICE and then low battery BACK TO NORMAL. I am a single digit golfer and expected more. I'll be looking for something with a proven battery life for 18 holes. .

When it works it is great. Unfortunately it now brings back scores from prior rounds, sometimes 2 or 3 times during the current round. Have done a hard reset, deleted Garmin golf/connect and reinstalled and the problem persists. Only way to resolve is to turn off the Bluetooth connection to my phone.

I've had this device for over a year now. It works about 50% of the time. Screen blanks out, forever to find courses, if at all, just very un-reliable. I'm now to the point I don't even take it to play and have gone back an app on my phone. Too bad, it's great when it works. 2 stars for the effort…

Received as a gift this Christmas. It keeps freezing up while on my wrist and stops working. I have to continue to plug it into the charger to get it to unfeeze. I'm now in MX for a couple months and am unable to return it. Hoping they'll back me up when I return in March!

Still have not received it!!
