@Gazz73 Год назад

Hey. Thanks for this! I’ve had this watch for about 2 months and had no idea what it was capable of.

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Glad I could help, the watch has served me well for over a year 👍👍

@ht6501 Год назад

Great review. Got one and love it. I don't need to have the brightness up when on the course I can see it just fine. 👍🏻⛳

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Thanks Heath. Yeah I found the screen to be very readily, so turning it down will increase the battery life 👍

@gonzonight1226 2 месяца назад

Can you do a video how to update courses on the S42?

@Woody54321 Месяц назад

Very helpful! Thank you Golf Guy

@GolfGuyReviews Месяц назад

Thanks Neil, much appreciated 👍👍

@Woody54321 Год назад

Terrific review - since I added the BIG letter view, the face looks a bit different from the first part of your video. Terrific watch for golf. Thank you

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Thanks Neil, really appreciate it 👍

How to reset back to club distance in my beg history?

@WiscoBowHNTR 11 месяцев назад

I just got this. Really like it so far. Only thing I don’t like is that the backlight does not turn on when you rotate your wrist nor is there a setting to make it so that happens.

@GolfGuyReviews 11 месяцев назад

Just checked mine, your right, the only option is to either have the backlight on all the time, or off.

@sarahhammond6162 6 месяцев назад

Hi - thanks for this tutorial. When scoring do I include putts in number of strokes ie 5 or do I log is 3 strokes and 2 putts. Thx

@GolfGuyReviews 6 месяцев назад

Include the putts in your score 👍 thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe 👍

@RajKumar-zm4ll Год назад

Thank's Kevin this has helped alot as i have this watch. Incidently i am have difficulty locating the description box which contains your affiliated links. Where are they located?

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Thanks Raj, glad it helped! Under the title of the video there should be ‘more’ which you can click, and that will bring out the full description box which contains the links 👍

@RajKumar-zm4ll Год назад

Thank's Kevin it works. Not always that clued up on computer related skills.

@thefishnmusician9667 Год назад

Can you do the activity to track your distance walked at the same time you are playing golf in golf mode of the watch

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Yes I believe you can, so long as you have set up the Garmin connect app, it then asks permission to write the data to the iPhone health app….although I’ve only tested it with an iPhone.

@thefishnmusician9667 Год назад

Does the choice of not being able to be specific with the t box mens or ladies only does that affect your distances and overall accuracy?

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Thanks for watching. No it doesn’t effect accuracy, it will just update some holes if they are a pr 3 on red tees compared to a par 4 on yellows

@bryanlloyd6924 Год назад

Looking to upgrade from a Vivo Active 4. Would you recommend this or the S62? I probably play 25-30 rounds per season

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Thanks for watching and commenting Bryan. I've not tried the Vivo active 4 so I can't give any context there I'm afraid. But I have used both the S42 and S62 extensively. I think it'll come down to four questions. 1. Do you need/want the off course data tracking (GPS, heart rate and blood O2 for both exercise, sleep and general health tracking) 2. Do you want the extra golf features of the S62 (smart caddy, pin pointer etc) 3. Do you want the nicer materials of the S62 (ceramic bezel, thicker strap)? 4. Do you want a thinner profile like the S42 or a bigger one like the S62. I hope that helps :)

You can chose which apps you get notifications from on the phone app. I have it set to Phone and Messages.

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

I’ve just checked, and on my iPhone 12 I don’t have the options to choose which apps I see notifications for. I’ve seen the same menu screen on an android phone and it looks very different

@ChristerGilbert Год назад

@@GolfGuyReviews that explains it! I use an android phone.

@jimmys7985 7 месяцев назад

Do you know if this tracks anything for working out and sleep? I saw it tracks distance but wasn’t sure

@GolfGuyReviews 7 месяцев назад

No it does track either of those I’m afraid

@einstu 2 месяца назад

A bit too basic. Missing for me is how to best use the shot distance. It automatically starts from the last swing apparently so in general is wrong if you do practice swings. Or, how to use the club stats.

@WinstonWolfrider 8 месяцев назад

Can anyone confirm if you can use this watch to track shots on the driving range, to add to stats so you have distance records etc? Maybe link them to the app somehow to track practice?

@GolfGuyReviews 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. No you can’t do that with this watch, or any Garmin gps watch currently. You can only do something similar with the R10 launch monitor, and maybe the Garmin G80, although I’ve not tried the G80 so I’m not 100% sure

@ciccitotaro7186 2 месяца назад

i want to know how can i put in automatic holes change thanks

@GolfGuyReviews 20 дней назад

I think it's in the settings no?

@kamlooney9579 Год назад

How do you find a course if it doesn't show up on the course you are playing?

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

I'm afraid I don't know, I've never had that problem.

@kierontaney1021 6 месяцев назад

Would you recommend the s42 or the bushnell ion elite? Narrowed down my search to these two but can't decide which one!

@GolfGuyReviews 6 месяцев назад

Tough choice. Personally, I’d go with the S42 as I prefer the way it sits on my wrist, it’s a much slimmer watch. Depends what you value more - Bushnell has the full course map, where as the Garmin has better shot tracking and is slimmer

@kierontaney1021 6 месяцев назад

@GolfGuyReviews excellent thanks very much for your help. Really appreciated!

@dianel8530 Месяц назад

My watch only gives black, blue and white tees. Is there any way to load gold and red? My device doesn’t give me the men’s vs women’s tee option.

@GolfGuyReviews Месяц назад

You Might need to update the course data from the Garmin Golf app?

@captjewels6997 Год назад

my watch is frozen on "this setting will reduce battery life". nothing will happen when depressing the dial button, help?

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

Just googled, apparently you can reset the watch by holding the button for 30 seconds?

@genevievebouche9097 9 месяцев назад

merci de faire une version en français

@careypahel2385 Месяц назад

Will this watch change holes automatically?

@jcflyer9418 Месяц назад

yes

@GolfGuyReviews Месяц назад

Yes 👍

@theurbanistas6066 2 месяца назад

How does it look when you have a doglegged hole?

@GolfGuyReviews Месяц назад

Will show a yardage to dog legs on the hazard screen

@VanDeIce Год назад

I'm sure like most things you would get used to it.........but at first view it doesn't feel/look a very intuitive layout.

@GolfGuyReviews Год назад

I guess that comes with being a touch screen and only having one button, but aside from having to get used to the hazard layout, I’ve got on with it fine really 👍👍
