Review: Why haven’t I ever had one? - I’ve been golfing a long time. I don’t know why I never had one of these gps golf watches? It’s rare I would say “it’s a game changer” for things. But I gotta say after researching golf watches and come upon this one in particular I’m sold. To the S12 now, I’m not a stranger to electronic devices we all have them. However on a golf course while playing it needs to be: easy to use and navigate through functions, easy to read in rainy or sunny conditions with a lot of glare, accuracy is key also looks and feels good wearing it along with tough durability. Definitely all of these things and more. I played my first 18 (pouring rain first 4 holes) with it after getting accustomed to the functions and being familiar enough to actually use it. I was thrilled with the performance and ease of use. Funny I only somewhat generally knew how far I was hitting each club.. now I know for sure. Big help cutting scores just that alone. On only two holes I noticed it didn’t move to next.. so I manually kicked over to next hole pretty easily. On another that was close to last green as well.. just walked over to tee box and it flipped automatically easy peezy. If that’s a negative thing I’ll take that all day every day no problems here. All in all I’m super happy with the S12 from seller to fast delivery to actual accuracy and simplicity of use it’s been a very good purchase. Hopefully I get even better at using it’s functions and that it holds up for a long time. In closing you can spend a lot more on a gps golf watch for sure. So far this seems to be well worth the money. I can pretty much guarantee you won’t have to ask anyone for yardages again. It does enough and well enough in my book not to be a major distraction and balances high tech and useful features to up your game and joy of playing golf.
Review: Accurate and comfortable - This has replaced a Bulova golf watch that I used for at least 10 years but suddenly quit working. It has more features. Most of which? I won't use. It's a very good basic golf watch. First thing I noticed is that the battery life in this watch is amazing. It lasts multiple rounds. Fairly easy to set up. It advances as it should hole to hole. Yardage is accurate. Very comfortable to wear, super light.
