Absolutely GREAT video. I have the S62 (giving it to a friend) and I just received the S70. I'm very excited and this watch. I mainly will use it for golf, but I 'll also use it for cycling running/walking. - Subscribed 🙂

@davidolevsky6623 Жыл бұрын

I have smaller wrists so the 42mm version would work better. It looks like the 42mm has less resolution and the gps is different from the 47 mm. Combine that with no black version of the 42mm and the price is still $650 USD. you have to wonder if it works nearly as well as the 47mm.

@davidmaxfieldgolf Жыл бұрын

I couldn’t imagine that it would work with less performance but good work on the research I didn’t know that about the resolution. I guess with a smaller screen it doesn’t need the same resolution to produce the same results

Hi, please let me know about Garmin golf app. is free? It is a purchasable app, it seems. if I download it and pair the phone, what charges apply? It appears this app is mandatory , for using the S7?!

None, there’s no subscription required but you can pay a small subscription fee and get the green reading maps etc

I've read so many great reviews but in every case they got it loaned or for free to test....I think anyone would love anything free.. What if you paid? I can get the s62 for $485 Canadian or s70 for $935. . That's a huge disparity almost double is the s70 really worth double?

@NoPlayJack Жыл бұрын

I returned my S70. During a golf round it was very nice, but after that it's pretty useless. Not worth the money IMO. The Garmin Golf app is absolutely terrible. Basically useless outside of being a digital scorecard. The post-round analytics is not helpful at all.

@davidmaxfieldgolf Жыл бұрын

Sorry you feel that way. I’d have to disagree though. The Garmin golf app is very good and the level of detail that it gives is fantastic. Then if you get the CT10 sensors it gets even better

@NoPlayJack Жыл бұрын

@@davidmaxfieldgolf Besides club distances, what data are you getting from the Garmin Golf app to help you improve your play? The CT10 sensors only automate the part where you tell Garmin which club you hit, it doesn't improve the functionality at all.

@davidmaxfieldgolf Жыл бұрын

@@NoPlayJack I think you may have a bit of a miss understanding with what they CT10's do. Yes they automatically track every shot but thats a very small part of what they do. they also track your approach stats, putting stats and so much more. So if you move the pin on the watch to the back of the green and you hit your approach on the green but 40 feet away, the ct10's will be able to tell you that your proximity to hole is constantly that far away. It's fantastic. also youll get drive stats, average to par scores, you vs others in your same handicap and like a billion more features from the app. It's really incredible.

@NoPlayJack Жыл бұрын

@@davidmaxfieldgolf Mate, I know the putting data is better with the sensors, but for the most part all the sensors do is make it more convenient because they automatically tell your app which club you hit. The watch senses any hit that takes place which gives you most of the same data you just said. It knows where a strike occurred because of the GPS. The sensors on the clubs don't do any of that, it just communicates to the watch/app which club made the strike. The data provided by Garmin in the app is so rudimentary compared to the advanced analytics provided by apps like Arccos or even The Grint. Have you looked at the data provided by other apps? Garmin's app is very bad in comparison.

@rudyruiz9521 5 ай бұрын

Agree with both of you, new to golf and from my perspective the more data and the easier to use. I think when I know what I'm doing the 62 would be fine. Until then I need everything I can get.
