Garmin has added the two missing features from the S62, Virtual Caddie and Wind Speed/Direction. So outside of cost it's a no brainer now!
Great review, Gabe‼️ As a S62 owner, this Epix2 def has a much better screen. One more feature this new watch is lacking is the CADDIE feature on the S62⁉️ It’s the main reason I chose the S62 over other Garmin watches, you would think CADDIE would be included @ $900⁉️
You are spot on Jon. If you want the Caddie the only way to do it is to get into the approach S62 right now. This watch really is not a golf watch which is why they did not include it, but the screen and other next level features I think would work for many - Especially those considering S42 but want a more feature-rich experience
There should be CADDIE as its the most expensive watch with Fenix in 2021-2022 period
I do believe it's now been added?
This is my first smart / fitness / health watch.. EPIX PRO I just ordered this watch in sapphire cause i am an avid golfer.....its was a huge selling point for me,, plus i wanted an everyday smart / health / sports watch all in one...lookin forward to getting it.....great video....cheers from Canada
UPDATE : I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS WATCH....GREAT GOLF WATCH AND EVERYTHING ELSE WATCH.....HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Brilliant snapshot review and glad you're returning to full health Gabe.
I have the S62 and I love it...I also took the plunge on the beautiful Epix 2 as a multi sports watch with golf included...hoping it would have all the features of the S62 so I could recoup some of the money and take the sting out of the Epix price.
Unfortunately the Epix is missing 2 feature that I've found so far, wind speed/
direction and the Caddie assist. I love the Caddie assist and all the options it provides including club selection, particularly whilst calculating wind speed and direction on those challenging windy days here in the UK.
Not sure I can justify keeping both, but the Epix has other features that I require and that OLED touch screen is amazing, bright, vibrant, colourful and clear. The golf features are almost identical, just not sure I can live without the Caddie assist....or am I relying on tech too much? 🤔
To be fair I need all the help I can get playing this game 😅 and I love technology, both watches are amazing but serve different purposes.. just wish one watch had it all, especially at the premium price.
Thanks again Gabe 🙂
That’s def the trade off - virtual Caddie or amazing screen and health tracking. If either had the other, they’d be a perfect watch.
Garmin has added the two missing features from the S62, Virtual Caddie and Wind Speed/Direction. So outside of cost it's a no brainer now!
Thanks for the review! I'm not a big watch guy but seeing this Garmin is making me think twice. I didn't think so much tech can be packed into a watch like that. I'm now really considering it.
Glad I could shed a bit of light on the subject
My favorite feature of my s60 requires the club sensors. Now, when I pull a club out it tells me my average yardage with that club. Very handy. It also auto tracks which club I hit, which lessens the post-hole work.
So this watch can sync with club sensors ?
This is what I had hoped the Samsung Galaxy S3 Smartwatch would be like. Only the app support is horrific on that watch. This watch is amazing, but at $1,000 is out of reach.
Forerunner 955 offers the same golf functions, gives the world golf handicap, and is less than $500
I have this watch with my R10 launch, which is an insane match!
I prefer the fenix and the longer battery life. I also paired the CT10s to the watch and now it's pretty awesome.
Good video .. I got the Garmin s40 and quite pleased with it but when I this video I thought it's time for an update til I saw the price !! Lol guess I'll be staying with the S40 ....
Thanks for the video. I have a Garmin Fenix 7X and it's similar to this. I've only just started playing so couldn't be bothered using the watch to select each club etc after each shot and mess about selecting scores after each hole. I didn't think it was worth all the hassle especially when I'm spending a fair bit of time looking for balls etc. Haha. Might be worth noting that you can just select not to keep score at the start and then can have the 'measure shot' on for the duration of the round. So you still have the map and distances to the green as well as having the measuring shot feature which is all I require at the moment. Understandably the point of the video is to demonstrate what the watch can do, but maybe beneficial to somebody such as myself that you don't have to use all the 'bloatware' just yet.
Do you think this is the better option over the t9?
Great review Gabe. I have a Garmin multi-sport watch myself and use it for Golf. Only trouble is I need reading glasses to read the thing so a hand-held might be my next purchase. You probably already consider this in your reviews but maybe you could consider the text size etc the next time you review a hand-held GPS to help us long-sighted folk.
Great suggestion David. I will say, this screen is absolutely huge and the brightest I’ve ever seen. So as far as legibility this is a home run.
I have the Arccos on my Pings and use the Arccos app. Works well just put the course your are playing way you go. Keeps track of each club for distance during the round.
Watch would be nice though.
I just got the apple watch and used it with arccos for the first time this weekend. It was a lot nicer than having to rely on my phone. Having the yardages right on your wrist, being able to set the pin location with the watch as you grab your ball from the hole. Still had to use the phone a little bit to get yardages to hazards etc.
Arccos is 200$ a year after buying the sensors, plus you need your phone around all the time…
What a great review. Went right away to your supported site because I've been thinking about upgrading my watch, but $1000, it's more than any latest driver, I'll have to see where it will best help my golf game. But seems like it's probably the best full-featured watch that I've seen including the s62, so will be looking for any sale or deals that might happen in the future! :)
A cheaper alternative that also has a good depth in golf features is the Venu 2+. Also excellent colour touch screen, and while lacking the overhead view of the hole it still can give distances to hazards, tracks shots the same way and scores similarly.
@@johandutoit9324 oh? gotta check that out! thank you for the info!
It's a cool watch but there aint really nothing new to it and that price is 😬
so im gonna keep using my S62 :)
Well I went and did it. Amazon had 31% off on the gen2 so I pulled the trigger on it.
Oh nice! You’re going to love it
In fairness, the S62 has the same features. Body battery, stress monitor, the sleep monitor on this one grades your sleep, which the S62 does not. There’s no virtual caddy on this one? That’s one feature I really like from the S62. As you know, after it knows your averages with clubs over 5+ rounds, it’ll recommend the club to use including with elevation. Your review of the S62 helped convince me to pop on it. Don’t know if I need to necessarily trade “up”, particularly if it’s missing the caddy. Great review though! Lee it coming Gabe, and if you wanted to draw my name for the giveaway from last week, I’d appreciate it! 😂
Virtual Caddie def makes the Garmin S62 the most powerful of the Approach series. I love that watch.
Interesting to note that the Epix doesn’t have the Virtual Caddy. I’ve had the Approach for a week and was thinking of upgrading to the Epix because it has running features the Approach does not. But I’d rather have the caddy, and track my runs without using the courses and navigation….for half the price. Does Garmin not make a watch that has everything?
Great review, Gabe! If I wasn't so invested in my smart watch, Garmin G80, and Across, (too much tech😂) I would definitely considering a this watch.
Yes sounds like you are all teched out for a bit, Frank!
Thank you for another good video. I appreciate your effort on these.
I have S62 and what I hate about S62 is the charging cable. Is it still the same concept? I really wish they start to use magnetic cables like other brands.
Yes it’s the same
Great review do you no if the fenix 7+ has the same golf features thanks
Yes exact same- pretty much everything software wise is identical . Does not have the same AMOLED screen, and does have better battery and solar option though.
Great video thank you. I own a Fenix 6X Solar. Just a quick piece of information for those not familiar with these watches. They are hugely comprehensive. Running, cross country, swimming, cycling, surfing, gym work and so on and so on. It’s incredible. It will generate running routes and guide you in seconds, it will monitor your health in far more detail than other smart watches. It locks onto satellites in seconds, far faster than any other smart watch I’ve used. It is very much the Swiss Army knife of sports watches. It will also store about 8 hours of music onboard as well too. 😂 So yes they are very expensive but for the features they give (and if you are serious about using it) I would say go for it. I am considering upgrading to the Epix just for that amazing touch screen display. 😆 I think if you were only using it for just golf it might be a waste, you need to really be an all out sports person I think.
Thanks for the additional insights Andrew. You are right this is way more powerful than just a golf watch. So many next level features.
Just saw on the Bushnell website they have dropped the prices on their ION EDGE golf watch from $149 to $99. 👀✅
Dang this thing is dope and once again another great review
Yeah it’s given me a lot of insight into my performance and energy. Never thought about how valuable that data really is until now.
I've found that on short chips around the green it doesn't recognise it as a shot. How can that be recorded instead of having to record it as a putt.
My epix doesn’t ask me for a club. Im struggling to operate the smart caddie and put any info into the watch to activate my smart caddie. Any tips?
Great review? Have you ever tested or reviewed the garmin ct10 trackers?
I use a Garmin Venu for my daily wear watch and also for golf. It’s hood, but two areas they need to fix:
1: a better explanation of the stats in Garmin golf
2: a “pin collect” feature similar to ShotScope. When you putt out you press a button on the watch as you collect your ball. This tells the GPS where the hole is, and then you would get some meaningful putting data (NB: I use the CT10 club sensors, which mean you don’t even have to tell the watch which club you hit!)
Does this show the distance to different hazards? That’s one of the biggest reasons I want a GPS device
Picked up a (in my mailbox tomorrow..) Garmin epix 2 sapphire for 821 dollars, lowest price in Sweden!🇸🇪 Cant wait to test it on the course coming weekend!🏌️
Great review btw!👍👍
Congrats 🍾 hope you enjoy it
@@LetsPlayThru Thanks, I hope so to! 😉
I have the watch and suddenly stop showing the hole layout next to distances. Only see the distances in a larger font. How can I go back to the default view?
The setting is “big numbers” - just need to turn it back off
Love your videos. Which golf watch do you daily?
I have the Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. I’ve been setting up my golf features and have input all of my clubs into my bag on the app. How do I set up the app to ask me what club I used after each shot?
What’s the difference between it showing you your total after hitting vs selecting measure shot? It seems to measure it automatically? Does it store the info in the app so you have avg distances for each club?
have you had a chance to compare the Epix 2 with the Quatix 7 sapphire? I prefer the look of the Q7 and on paper they are comparable in the golfing arena, but would like your views please.
I haven’t tried that one, but I will say there is a new watch coming out next week. Keep an eye out for that one.
Can I assume it has every features of s62 including club sensors ?
Great review! Does the Garmin software track up and downs and greens in regulation? Also, is the Epix screen as good as or better than the sky caddie?
Yes there are very good stats in the app. Screen way better than SkyCaddie.
Hi! Thanks for great video reviews of the garmin watches! I live in Sweden an Im looking for a golf watch and this watch and the s62 are a bit too expensive. Im thinking abort geting the s42 or the s60. The are almost att the same price. Which one would you prefer?
Of those two I like the S42 personally.
@@LetsPlayThru i went to the store to check the watch out. I must be honest that i did not like the screen at all of the approach watches. Ive looked around a bit on garmins site and found that the garmin venu 2 has the exact same screen as the epix. It also supports the golf app. However, i cant find a video where anyone has tested the golf features of the venu 2. Do you have any experience of the venu 2 watch?
Love the Castlerock jumper !!
I’ll be there in July, I’m stoked
Great video review. Nice watch.
There is a comment in the Garmin website that says. 41,000 preloaded courses in the USA. Are they really loaded or do you have to select the course on Garmin connect and then sync to your Epix watch? Would like to know.
Hi have you reviewed the Garmin marq golfer if so do you think that is better ? Thanks and great video by the way
Not yet, but I really want to
Well I.just pulled the trigger and bought one 765 quid Stirling in UK.. had my first round today and not good.. it picked up 2 shots from 16 holes that's right two shots the entire round.. also didn't move to next tee when I f8nished the hole .. my s40 from 7 years ago is miles miles better .. I might give it another go maybe its defective watch?. The only positives are nice screen quick satellites and.wind feature.was nice
Make sure it’s on your lead wrist
I'm.right handed its on my left wrist , I'm waiting to hear back from garmin, you said yourself it didn't pick up as many shots as the s62 but you didn't stipulate how many misses. Maybe I'm better with s62 Will see what garmin says , i love the oled screen the battery and the fitness features and now has virtual Caddie and wind info which I absolutely love as my course has a lot of trees and wind swirls
I have a fénix 5s and I love it. Sadly, wearing any jewelry while playing any sport makes me crazy. It’s distracting to the point that I’m concentrating on the feeling of the watch on my wrist rather than concentrating on my swing.
Hi. great review, is the cristal sapphire?
thanks.
I’m almost positive it is but it’s best to check the specs to be sure
Great review.
I hope it gives distances better than the Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar Titanium. The golf app distances are so off compared to golf dedicated watches and range finders. I can't even trust my Fenix 6x, I have to take out the range finder ..I find the garmin 6x 15 to 20 yards off most of the time compared to other watches and range finders.
I know this comment is a couple of months old.... but make sure you have your distance settings in Yards and not meters.... Yes i fell foul of this and have also helped at least 4 others who had the same gripe.
Had the Garmin S62 golf watch and ended up selling it after one season. The thing I didnt love was that it was not accurate with regard to distances to the flag. It was more like “front, center or middle” distances vs my laser which is deadly accurate. I think this is true with most of these watches. Fun to look at and super clean graphics, but too much variability on distances.
Well yes, of course the distances to the pin will change because the pin's change. No watch is going to be able to give you an exact to every pin because it's a literal variable.
Awesome review! Does it still have the smart caddy like the s62?
This one does not. That is the one thing missing from it.
@@LetsPlayThru Ah dam i really like that feature on the S62... i could do without the green info as thats on my phone. Especially since this watch pairs with the CT10 club sensors there shouldnt be any reason for it not to
@@LetsPlayThru Do the other golf related features work just like the s62? ie auto hole advance? how does it work with the garmin golf app?
Im thinking of upgrading to epix 2, since it has golf app on it. But can i activate walking app during golf simultanuously?
Cause right now, im using g80 to track distances and instinct for walking app.
So Gabe, one question I haven't seen in the comments yet is, what percentage of battery have you seen depleted from a typical 18 hole round?
Not very much. I would say about 20% maximum
@@LetsPlayThru thanks a bunch!
I just got my Epix Gen 2 and played my first round of golf with it this morning. However, mine didn’t show a graphical layout of the fairway like Play Thru’s does. Is there a setting I need to turn on so that it defaults to the graphical depiction? I can go into the golf settings and choose “Hazards,” but that’s not the same as his. Help?
Okay, I figured it out. In the golf app settings, I had “Big Numbers” set to ON. Big numbers apparently doesn’t mean, like, quadruple bogey or more. LOL Turned it OFF and all is great!!
I see the PXG was in use. How are you finding it? Is it officially your new gamer ?
Good catch! That was actually my first full round using it. I shot 79 and it wasn’t the driver that got me into any trouble 😆
No virtual caddy on the epix? I would be sold if it had that
When does the prgr video come out?
Update! The latest software update that just came out adds virtual caddie and wind speed/direction. So, now it can do everything the S62 can do and has a beautiful OLED screen. It really is the best golf watch.
could you disclose where you got this info? thanks.
i found it finally, software version 9.14/9.15 states that both "Added Golf Virtual Caddie support" and "Added Golf wind speed and direction support". Thanks for initial info.😉
What if you're playing with other people and you don't go directly to your own ball after you hit a shot? Does this thing know it's not your ball?
That shouldn’t matter. It only records a shot during the swing. So as long as you don’t hit their ball it won’t matter.
How's the battery life compared to the S62?
Pretty similar I’d say
Looks good.
Thanks for this awesome review... Looks like I'll be purchasing this if you can answer me one question... Like the S60 and s62 does it allow you to touch anywhere on The fairway to get a distance or do you have to use the side buttons ?
It’s all touch just like S62, but faster
Dose it do meters
Yes
I'll give that a miss its £1000 in the UK. Way tooo much for me.
It's a thousand dollar watch, it better be amazing!
the price of a good set of clubs!
Review the Fenix 7 for golf
You’ll see that video in about 3 weeks
@@LetsPlayThru Great, looking forward to it. I currently have the Fenix 6 Pro but think the 7 would be much easier to use with the touch screen!
@@LetsPlayThru The Fenix 7 video coming soon? Looking forward to it!
@@kierandugdale511 Literally working on it as we speak. Should be up Sunday 🤞
That's a $1000 dollar golf watch! Ouch! My wallet needs an aspirin or two.
that one is expensive as hell
Looks like it can turn a 3:45 round into a 5 hour round. Too much info on this thing.
Nice but no way I'm paying $1000 for a golf smart watch.
I had the s60 and was going to get the s62.
Good thing the s60 did was , as you play more and more, it builds up a history of how far you hit each club, so after a drive and it gives you a yardage left, it will suggest what irons to hit , like a virtual caddy so no need to scroll through all clubs, just press on club or adjust club up or down from its suggestion if it uphill or down hill, into or wind assisted.
One tip, when setting up your golf clubs on garmin , add a club you don't use, for example a 2 iron. Choose this for small chips onto green or out of trouble..
This will keep small chips from bringing down your average yards for each club you use in your bag.
That is one of my biggest frustrations with my Venu2. I didn’t realise they had feature disparity like that across the range and while I am more than satisfied with it, it irks me that those features are locked away for me. What Irks me the MOST, is I can tell that the watch keeps track of yardages based on the club selection screen once you take the shot. If i took a shot from 170yds away from the green, that club selection screen will roll to my 170yd club. (Didn’t in this video, which I think is because he hasn’t tracked enough shots yet, not because the Epix2 doesn’t do it). Also still shows you club averages in the app.
is s60 better than s62?
Gabe..….first of all, I am happy that you seem to be fully recovered. Your videos are some of the best on TH-cam. Very informative and relevant. In addition to Garmin, I would love to see a video on how to maximize the Apple watch as a golf watch……if you are looking at future projects!
Also, glad to see you are a man of your word and still using the PXG driver. Do you feel that it is more forgiving than your SIM?
Finally, I would love to see you review the Callaway Rogue ST Max driver and how it compares to your PXG and the SIM. It looks like the Rogue is an incredibly forgiving driver.
Keep up the great work and thanks for the information that you provide!!!
That’s a great suggestion Jeffrey. I’ll try to do one soon. I’m not sure if it’s more forgiving. I’d still give that edge to the SIM2 I think. But it’s not far off. Rogue def coming soon as well.
I bought this watch based on your recommendation. A couple of comments. You bought the higher priced model and for golf, I think this is overkill with one caveat. I own the Garmin Approach S60. One of my biggest gripes with the S60 is how long it takes to find satellites. The only reason why a golfer would need the Sapphire version of this watch is if you are especially prone to scratching watches or if the multi satellite mode on the Sapphire is significantly faster at picking up satellites. Have not tested my watch to see if it is slower picking up satellites than the Sapphire model in the video, but would be surprised if there was a difference. Can’t see why a watch would take longer to pick up one satellite as opposed to multiple ones, but we will see.
The other major gripe about the S60 is the low resolution screen. It just isn’t very good. I put up with it because the battery life was really good compared to my other watch, the Samsung Galaxy watch, which lasts maybe 2 day with average use and is hardly a golf watch. The Epix is expensive, but it appears to do everything. Great screen, great battery life , fitness tracker and golf watch. You just pay for getting all this in one watch.
$1000 Fitness/Golf watch, yeah Right! Lol
Epix Gen2 is just much faster and the screen looks amazing but the price is almost higher than my handicap.
After 2 years I discovered my S60 has most of the golf features you mentioned. It even comes with the same gripes and criticisms you have about it missing shots. It even uploads my stats to my phone.
Even if I had the money, I still cannot logically justify the upgrade in my head. I surely wouldn't complain if I got it as a present though.
Venu2+ is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Epix2
Does the venu 2 + have the same golf features as the epix?
Nice review and showing of the features, Gabe. Looks quite a bit thinner and with a larger face than my Garmin Forerunner (use it for other sport tracking). If only I could feel comfortable golfing with a watch on, I could start to rationalize getting one.
I never thought I could play golf with a watch on to be honest. But with these super light Garmins, even though the face is huge, I don’t feel a thing.
Maybe I am missing something here, but there wasn't one feature mentioned in this video that my S62 can't do...plus a few that the S62 can do that this watch can't do.....
Hi what are those features that the s62 can do that the epix can’t do?
Exact same features for golf with far better display
Would love to see you try the Venu 2 plus. I think you can load course instead of having them all preloaded.
I agree
This is not the best GOLF watch. It's $1000. The $500 Garmin s62 is the best GOLF watch.
I use the VivoActive 4. It has the golf app on it. It's not as extensive in functions as the one you reviewed but I really like it. Maybe you could do a comparison. It has all body battery and stress levels on the Vivo 4. You should give it a try for the money. Great review as always.
Thank you for the suggestion Dave, I will definitely check it out
$900+? Knowing my exact distance is not exactly my problem in Golf game. 😜
Does a bit more than that, but I totally understand the hesitation at the price point this sits in
HI, friend I've just come to see Garmin Epix Gen 2 Review, nice sharing.
I don’t see the value difference between the S62 and this watch. Especially with this one that coat $1k. That’s crazy for a watch.
Pay $1k for a watch that is not a golf watch to use for golf or buy Garmin watch that "is" for golf for $169? I choose the later!
Great review, Gabe. I would seriously consider getting this if I hadn't just purchased the latest Samsung Watch 4. Always something new, shinny and exciting being released!!
Congrats John, that’s a great one too
Does the Samsung watch 4 have a golf feature? How are you finding it? Love garmin and samsung products
@@Unknown1234_9 There are apps that you can download that work with it. Golfshot GPS is one of them and has a free version.
Hi! How is the battery life of the samsung watch 4 when golfing?
Incredible review, thank you!
I did not like the screen on the S62 but this one looks great. Will have to check it out - thanks!
It is a 10x improvement - it’s that good
So is the OLED screen the main improvement here over the S62?
@@LetsPlayThru I'm out in Windermere, I should swing out your way one day.
@@FengWilliam the AMOLED screen is def one big improvement, but I’d say the health & fitness tracking features are next level too. If you play any other sports like skiing, running, swimming, etc. you will have some other amazing features too.
S62 has the virtual caddie though, so that’s the one compromise folks will have to make.
I cannot see the reason to pay $300-400 more for the Epix when it has essentially the same golf features of the S62. The S62 also has all of the health features that you discussed that are on the Epix. It is the best health features of any watch. My brother bought the iWatch for the heart monitoring features which are also on the S62. I love your reviews but I think that the Epix review is a little overhyped. I am happy with the S62 which I have had for 10 months.
The S62 doesn’t have the same depth when it comes to other activities. Eg. You can select strength training and with the Epix2 you can follow an existing workout or just let it detect what exercise you’re doing, it will automatically detect your reps, it can even show you how to do the exercises if you follow an existing workout. Same with running for eg, the epix has super in depth running features, including finding routes for you etc. The S62 has basic tracking on some activities like running, but nowhere near the depth of features over such a breadth of activities as the Epix2.
As a Golf Only watch, the Epix2 or Fenix Series watches are over built for most people. Also, they don't have Golf Tempo, Wind Speed and Caddie. However, that's not the point. Gabe was pointing out that his Epix2 watch was great for golf (not perfect). For people like me, the Epix/Fenix series watches offer many more things I use (and many I don't). Thus the cost.....Besides Golf (I Play, but not well), Features S62 can't do for me - Open Water Swims, Pool Swim (No Pace, Stroke, Laps, Drills, etc.), Indoor Bike (No Smart Trainer Connectivity), Outdoor Bike (No Power Meter, Pre-Course Map, MTB, etc.), Power Boat/Sail (everything missing, Charts, Waypoints, Navigation, etc), Hiking Trails (No Topo Maps, Backtrack, Altitude, etc.), Diving (Free/Scuba - 5ATM vs 10ATM) and Sapphire Glass vs Gorilla. I had a Fenix 3 and scratched the hell out of the glass. My last Fenix 5X had Sapphire and held up great.
To get most of these features (while still missing quite a few) you'd have to buy the S62 $500 + Instinct $350 = $850
Garmin s62 terrible watch , wasted £470.
How did you get the watch to ask you which club you hit after your shot? I have an epix and was excited to use it today but I didn’t get that screen to pop up?
You'll just need to turn on stat tracking in the settings. It's just a toggle switch.
I think the S62 is 2 years old now? Are you aware of a new top of line golf watch coming from Garmin this year?
I don’t think so, not this spring or summer anyway
FFS...Get a manicure and use some moisterizer on those hands. Great watch, picked one up myself and awaiting the CT10's. Upgraded from a Shot Scope H4, which is a terrific product.
Maye a stupid question. I bought the Fenix 7 but when I play golf it does not ask me what clubs to hit.
If I go to golf, settings I can select many things but can't find a spot to activate/turn on clubtracking. Is this a difference in Epix and Fenix?
Watch looks really nice and I've been looking for a new one to replace my old Fitbit with a new model that has some golf features as well. How is the battery life on this on and off the course, how long can it go between charges? I've owned a few smart watches and most drain battery life with usage like this.
When it asks me what club I hit after detecting a shot, all of the options are “Unknown club”. do you know how to fix this? is it because i don’t have ct10 sensors?
Nice new toy. But for $1,000? No thanks. Not enough difference to justify such an expenditure.
It’s def not for everyone. You are right.
Looks great. But the price ($899-$1,099) is almost double Garmin's top-of-the-line golf-specific watch, the Garmin S62 ($480). Hard for me to justify spending that much money when I'm already quite pleased with the S62.
If you’re only looking at it for golf I’d agree, 100%. I use it for all my sports and it’s also a no brained if you cycle, gym, swim, run, ski etc etc. Its the best watch I’ve had
Another informative review Gabe,does it have virtual caddie like s62 suggesting club?
That is one thing it does not have. So if you need the virtual caddie the S62 is definitely the way to go right now.
@@LetsPlayThru thanks for getting back to me
@@LetsPlayThru Maybe a stupid question but why then does it ask what club you hit?
@@jbh199 So it can keep track of your distances. If you use the Garmin Golf app, it will give you some detailed feedback on where are your strengths and weaknesses lay.
@@LetsPlayThru Understood, thanks again
Good video review ❤ but I have to say your golf etiquette could improve a bit...
Great video bro, love the hat and my Gramin watch!! I’m still using the Garmin vivoactive 3 and after seeing this video it’s time to update my watch.
Thank you man, these things get better and better every year
