### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Garmin S12 GPS watch
*by K***R on 2 July 2026*

Good value for money. Give all basic information required to allow appropriate club section. Switching between modes can be confusing but could be just me as it's my first GPS golf watch. All depends how much detail you require. All images in black and white. Good entry level GPS watch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to Use - Great Value
*by C***X on 30 November 2025*

If you want simplicity i.e. distance to Green then this watch is perfect. It’s a bit fiddly but you can also check distance to Hazards. It also has functions that I never use like number of strokes in round etc but I don’t use this. The dial is uncluttered and easy to read. It was a bargain in the Black Friday Sales. The only reason I give it 4 stars is for the hazard checking.
