    I bought this watch as a beginner golfer to help me track how far I hit my clubs so I could start learning what club to use for what distance. For that purpose, it is excellent, but it will take several rounds of use for it to collect enough data to give you average distances. Also, if you are a beginner, and suck like most of us, your mishits will throw your averages off. But after a year of use, I find the watch very useful now to measure distance from the flag, and also to check yardages to water hazards and bunkers.

    A great value add with this watch is the ability to see your stats (drive and approach) on Garmin Connect. That requires you to sync the watch with a laptop, and it is very buggy with the Macbook. I've had to call customer service a few times (a lot in the beginning), and even so, it will still miss entire rounds (as it just did today, and which prompted me to finally write this review). I use a USB to USB-C adapter because the Macbook does not have a USB port. I don't know if that is the source of the problem, but it is extremely annoying to lose entire rounds. It doesn't happen often -- once every 10 rounds or so -- but when it does, it's very frustrating. Apart from that, no complaints.

    Battery life is great. I can usually do two full 18-hole rounds on one charge. If you leave the phone in a drawer the rest of the time like I do, the battery will last about 10 days or so.

    I have been eyeing GPS devices for golf for at least a year now. Was worried about the size of this watch style on my small wrist but I found it to be comfortable and stylish. (I am 4'11".) I would love to wear it for my everyday watch but the battery life is an issue. For the golf course it is so handy to use. I love the feature of moving the pin on the green to get a more accurate distance. Now if my golf game could match the GPS capability. I also love that it keeps your scores and counts your steps. Wish I would have purchased it long ago.
