The Garmin Venu 3 is BETTER and CHEAPER than the Garmin Approach S70 - Here’s Why 

was looking at both of these.........i golf 100 - 150 rounds a year.....ended up getting the s70 and i LOVE it as an everyday watch.....its not golf season anymore but i am excited to use it when it is.....cheers from Canada

This is exactly the review I was looking for thank you!

Good review as alway. I have an ‘old’ Approach S60 and it’s interesting to see how these watches have moved on even over a relatively short time. Battery life has really improved. I play one round with the S60 and I’m down at least 55 to 60% so not getting 2 rounds. I use mine only for golf and really if I’m honest, only front, middle & back. It’s too finicky to pick out hazard yardage and when I try, feels like I’m holding up play. If the new watches work better at this, then it’s a good thing especially if you play lots of new courses. I think that to justify the price of these watches, you need to use the full range of functions (as you do by the sound of things) because if not, it’s a lot of cash for a yardage to the middle of the green. 👍🏻

Darn. The green pinpoint map is the number one feature I use with my s62. That's a deal-breaker for me. I guess I need to save up for the S70

Thanks for this, been looking if I need to upgrade from my Venu 1. From what I can tell the golf app is still the exact same on the Venu 3. So if you want a cheap golf watch with an OLED screen, see if you can pickup a second hand Venu 1.

Nice explanation Kevin. I used to own a s42 garmin watch previously which did not provide a hole view and also the grid system used to give pardages to certain points on the course not very intuiative. My current bushnell ion elite albeit not great for their yardage codes offers hole view. Had this watch improved in this area i would be tempted to make a purchase. .

At 3:40 you show some watch faces that look different from mine that only have a trashcan button (not an edit button). One that stood out to be was at 3:44 with the rocks, mine has a swirl in the background instead. How did you edit those?

Is this watch god for runners? I like the smart watch features or this one over the FR 265.

How do you end golf round on watch, got to 18th and just wanted to keep going had to turn watch off in end

I go this route before…choose venu sq over s60. The major downside, the venue sq failed to connect to satellite whenever i want to play golf. Over 1 year of using it, only once it connected. If you want to play golf, stick to the garmin approach model (S series). You won’t be disappointed.

I believe u have to download good course to play Not as convenient as preloaded.

Hi Kevin , can you get swing tempo on the venu 3 ? Thanks

You can block specific notifications on thr venu 2 so i only have texts, whats app messages and phone calls come thru. Everything els is blocked
