Garmin Approach S62 - walk through of how you would use the golf watch on the course! 

thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the tip! Snow came so season is over, will have to try it next year. Enjoy the watch!

Thanks! When try to nip the sand I hit it thin and fire it over the green....are you taking a full or half type swing?

NYC Entrepreneur 1) plays like, tap the yardages on the left and you’ll see it switch to arrows pointing up or down. 2). You can customize your clubs and label in the golf app under more, club performance. 3) compass, you’ll need to download a widget. Unless you meant PinPointer or Wind, that will be in your golf menu. Thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a try! I’m eyeing new wedges now...

Love it, one for each hand 👍 🤣

Thanks!! 🤣.

Andrew Ferguson 👍. The plays like feature doesn’t take wind into account. The virtual caddie does though

Usually not, and if it does prompt me I don’t select a club. When I check in my after game review it doesn’t show; plus, you can also delete the shot from the app. Good question though, I will review the CT10 soon, let’s see how it handles that.

Thanks for the tip!

Hi Andrew! 1) yes, you can edit your shots in the Golf app after to “remove” the club used for that shot. Shot will still show, but it won’t associate it with a club, so won’t skew your club distance stats 2) you could count the total strokes, including penalty strokes (just like you would on a scorecard). On the 4th screen, you would then say how many penalties you took (as if you were tracking penalties on a scorecard). Hope that helps!

Hi Chris, I think the steps do misread and especially distance. It would be neat if the watch could distinguish walking course and when you’re riding

I’m probably 150 rounds in and I still love it! 😁

Hi, the strokes are inclusive of the putts

Hey Ryan, from your main watch screen, press the middle button then go to settings. Then within Golf Settings you can customize what you want enabled for your round. hope that helps!

Yes you can either retired your clubs or delete them

Hi Nick, not that I know of. That’s right, sometimes it does misread or no-read. Sometimes I have a good shot and I want to record it, so I go into the shot menu and add shot

Hi, it still does miss shots. I would hope the premium I pay has increased accuracy though!

Hi Rob, thanks for the tip! My bunker game has been improving! 🥳

@@JitzKing you’ve used this tip?? Awesome

Hi, it should ask you at the beginning of each round if you want to track your shots. Then after each shot, it should prompt you for which club you swung. Pro tip, if it's not registering your shot, you may need to change the setting on which wrist the watch it's on. It should be on your lead wrist

Doesn’t seem to work well when it’s on the other wrist or if you don’t have the wrist setting correct

Thanks Dann for the feedback!

Hi Jarold, yes that's right, you need to wear it on your left wrist. Has to be on the leading hand

Answered below - repeated here: You can do it from the Garmin Golf app > more > Club Performance > +

Phil Reaume Thanks! I’ll give it a try 👍

@@JitzKing agreed with Phil on the hard swing but open the club face if the pin is close so you don't accidentally go over the green like you feared in your video.

Yes

Hi Thomas, you need the Garmin ConnectIQ app where you can customize your watch face, as well as download other widgets. Enjoy!

The CT10 sensors aren’t necessary. They just automate it so that you don’t need to select the club you hit on the watch, after each strike. I only put the sensor on my putter and chips around the green.

Hi Adam, once the watch syncs with the Golf app you should see the course you played, the scorecard and replay the round hole by hole. Did you get it to work?

Thanks Jmac1313! You’ll have to wear it on the lead arm, so right wrist. Although I haven’t tried on my left...

Thanks for the info. I have a fenix 5 and love it but think the touch screen will make navigation much better and easier to keep up with club data.

EK Also have a SkyTrak but have E6 Connect instead of TGC19. LMK if you ever get E6C. We have a great discord group for it!

Jmac1313 I wish I had got E6, I tried the demo and I like the gameplay vs TGC

EK It has been really fun. Online has been fun and we just finished a 6 week beta league where we ended up with handicaps too.

The watch has trouble with most chips and all putts, it can’t detect it. So best way is to add the CT10 sensors. But, on the watch you can just enter how many putts you took if you don’t care much for location of green

That’s odd another viewer just mentioned the same issue. Wherever you walk ok the course, the distance should be updating and giving you live numbers.

Thanks! Do you have scoring setting turned on in the golf settings?

EK Hi, I do, however I use 3 CT10 sensors but have these on my putter, 54 and 48. Not sure what this has to do with fairway dispersion though. Thanks

Ricky Stacey yeah the CT10 shouldn’t affect it. Try going into the scorecard and entering a score for a hole. It should ask for the fairway hit during that sequence. If I remember it goes score, putts, penalties, fairway.

It does! Works better than a phone

Hi, I only use the club sensors on my wedges and putter. I manually tell the watch which club I just hit with

scott cross the watch (and some other tweaks) have gotten me to an 18 handi! Working on getting it down

Watch feels great for me, perfect size I think. Also not heavy like when I had the Fenix 3.

​@@JitzKing​If you dont mind me asking .. What is your wrist size (circumference)? It works on you so if mine are similar in size ..

Waterproof to 50 Meters under water

Hi David! If you enter your shots and score on your watch it will automatically sync to you phone. The virtual caddie will adjust with the changes to your yardages over time. You’ll see your club stats in the app

@@JitzKing Thank you. I was hoping after I played the 5 rounds, I didn't have to upload the scorecard anymore lol. Another thing, for chipping/pitch shots, do you select the club for that or just X out of that since it's a lesser distance?

Thanks for the tips Karan! That’s actually what I’ve been working on over the summer and I’ve improved my distance and accuracy :) but wish I saw your tip sooner because it took me a while to figure out hah. Looking forward to hearing you out driving your husband 😉

Hi Paul, I believe some of other Garmin watches can keep track of which club you swing and distance. The S62 just has significantly more features 😉

That’s really odd, I haven’t experienced that. Did it only happen the one time or is frequent? If frequent, I’d contact Garmin

Hey0mcfly, I’ve noticed also that the plays like doesn’t always “drastically” change when visually I think it does. Particularity Par 3s, my friends will laser we come up with the same distance. Haven’t tested enough to conclude, I’m waiting to play at a hole where it’s extremely downhill and see. When you were expecting 10 yard increase, where did your ball end up landing?

EK well I decided to go with the rangefinder yardage and found that distance correct, something I’ve also now noticed is the yardage calculations after I take a shot on course seem short, but then when I get home and look at my shots they have adjusted and gained a few more yards. I’m wondering whether a reset might be in order

hey0mcfly interesting! Definitely won’t be as accurate as a range finder. I don’t think a reset will help because it’s all the same course data in the database. Also, factor in some tolerance with the GPS signal. My friend can stand next to me with the same watch, and we could be 1-2y different

EK but this is an amazing watch and the battery life is sensational I just hope that it’s perhaps just the courses I played

You will need to launch the Golf app on your phone which sends the wind data to your watch.

Never mind. Found it in the settings on the phone, not under golf menu...

@@jmac13131 where exactly - struggling to get the automatic shot detection working

Barry D Be sure you are wearing on your left wrist if you are a RH golfer.

Thanks Troy! My bunker game has been improving! The steeper strike does help!

Stay safe!

Hi Tony, I’m the opposite of you. Natural right, swing lefty. As per Garmin, you need to wear the watch on your lead wrist to register your shots properly

@@JitzKing I actually bought the watch in August and I do wear it on my left wrist while golfing. No issues, love this watch.

Found it! www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-7681996C-530F-4C69-80C4-3CD20D82746C/EN-US/Approach_S62_OM_EN-US.pdf

I downloaded mine from the Garmin Webb. site

Hey Wes thanks for the comments. I absolutely love this watch. Notifications for txts or whatsapp come through great. I found more issues with my Apple Watch tbh. But, flip side, don’t expect it to compete with smart watch features like Apple with different applications you can install. But, having used this watch, I don’t miss those apps. Only thing I miss is being able to have calls through the watch. GPS is also fantastic for other outdoor activities. Thanks for the swing tip! I’ve caught Danny and many others and throughout the season I’ve made corrections to my swing, especially the tip you just suggested. I finally picked up a driver and you can imagine, with my open face, I was slicing everything, hard! It’s been a blessing to get the driver because I now have the feel to keep the face square/closed and am now launching straight bullets! Still striving for more distance so something to work on during the off season. Also, I’m plan to share my golf journey over the course of this season with various tweaks that I have personally made. I’ve gone from shooting 100 to a PB of 80! So stay tuned and would appreciate your continued feedback and support!

@@JitzKing Look forward to your journey on RU-vid. I am in the same boat. My personal best is a 80 as well but sadly that was about 2012 had some back surgery in 2014 and then developed some nasty swing habits, and was struggling to break 100 again. Very frustrating. So I have been practicing, watching Danny Maude and I am starting to get a reliable strong swing back (finally hitting the center of the clubface instead of towards the toe.) Just ordered my Garmin S62 today thanks to your videos. I researched all and almost purchased the Skycaddie LX5 but hated that you have to press the button to view screen, that and I think the battery life is subpar. Again thanks for your videos, and I am going to subscribe to follow your journey. I may create some videos as well since I am staring to play more.

Jonathon Torres you have a really good eye for detail. I didn’t notice until you mentioned it. In the pictures it has repeating diagonal lines. The band I have is flat with a line running vertically down the middle. I guess this is what you’re referring to?

@@JitzKing YES! I'm looking at all other reviews and even the box advertisment and they all have the repeating diagonal lines with the Garmin logo. The feel between the two is night and day. Did you buy yours from Amazon? Im wondering if that has something to do with it.

Jonathon Torres bought mine from Golftown. Are you in Canada? Wonder if it’s a Canadian version?

I entered it into the Garmin app as a “club” name

the only thing that works for me on the watch is the message notifications provided the watch doesn't disconnect from my iPhone (as it does often).

You can add it from your garmin golf app

@@charanjitdful i see on the Garmin forum many people have problems with their watch. Ive spent about 10 -12 hours trying different ways with the software, syncing and so on to get it working like this video. Played a few rounds and all it does is show distance and often freezes. no course lay out, a couple times a round it may ask me to put my club i hit in, but i have no idea which hit the watch is referring to because 99% of the time it doesn't ask. A ton of $ to spend for a watch that has never worked for me even for 1 round.

Sounds like your watch is defective. You should call Garmin or maybe do a complete reset of the watch. My golf buddies all have the watch and haven’t had the issues you describe. Good luck!

@@JitzKing i returned it. Too many problems. Spent many hours trying to sort it out. Tons of info on the wide array of problems many have in the Garmin forum.

Ah that’s too bad. Happy golfing!

Yes after each swing when you get to your ball, it will log each shot if you have club tracking on

It’s a hot one! Hope you get your hands on one soon

@@JitzKing being delivered today

You can find the saved scores on your phone using the Garmin Golf app

I picked up a lower bounce wedge and I’m having an easier time getting out, thanks!

Hi Jonas, you can use the Garmin Connect IQ app to change the watch face 🙌
