Garmin approach S12 vs S42 vs S62 - What You GET And What You DON’T 

Thank you Average American. I started with the S42 originally, I really like it. The Bushnell Ion Elite does give it a good run for it's money though if people are looking for an alternative (full review coming soon)

sorry to hear that Raj, sound like a painful replacement process 🤦‍♂️

Not pleasant experience despite being a good brand. I hope the replacement watch functions properly as i do not want to go through the same demanding questions as experienced previously.

Thanks Rob 👍

Tricky one. To get the same club tracking data on a decent Apple watch app you’ll have to pay a subscription. If you don’t want to pay any extra, ONLY want yardages to the green and maybe some hazards if you’re lucky, have a half decent Apple Watch that will last more than 6 hours in gps usuals (my series 2 a few years ago couldn’t but my series 6 handles 18 holes no problem) then stick with the Apple Watch. I’ve tested a fair few golf dedicated watches now, and none of them (not even the $1800 Garmin MARQ come close to the everyday usability of an Apple Watch), but dedicated golf watches have far better battery life and golf features that won’t crash your watch….so it’s really about how much you’re comfortable spending on a non-essential item. If it were me, I’d probably start with a free Apple Watch app like golf shot or 19 hole, try the monthly subscription features, and then decide from there. Hope that helps 👍

I agree the S62 is the better watch, but there's a lot of features that many won't need, and at an extra £200ish compared to the S42 (which is often on sale), some will value the saved money one the additional features and hardware of the S62.

@@GolfGuyReviews totally makes sense

I've never found it awkward, as the menu system works well with the touchscreen in this model 👍

@@GolfGuyReviews thanks for the reply!!

Will see if I can pick one up to try 👍

Thanks for watching Moose. I play several rounds with everything I review, I like to think it’s something that stands my channel out compared to others. I probably used this watch for 6 months before I filmed my review. as it was the first golf watch I’d ever bought. Yes the button can occasionally be accidentally pressed by your glove, but it has never been an issue for me, my friends who have also used it, or the hundreds of people who have commented on my review. Perhaps the combination of your body and swing exaggerate the potential for this issue? Equally, all three of these watches have a button in the same place, it’s just other two have more, so I’m not sure why the S42 would be unique here?

I'd like to add I used the S40 for over 2 years and never found this problem! For reference, I wear it on my left wrist, and I am a right handed player
