Garmin Approach S5

 

Clear scoring. Easy to use.

Would prefer if you could change any mistakes after downloading onto a computer. You have to check individual holes prior to downloading, otherwise you are stuck with what you have put in, even if by mistake.

Light and compact, clear display and everything you need to play the hole.

Takes a while to learn how to operate. Hole graphics very basic.

Garmin Approach S5

 

Works as a GPS on a golf course.

Firmware issue. Alarm function doesn't work and unknown notifications will not clear down. Contacted garm in support, unable to help at this time. I feel cheated to be passed off a faulty product for almost £300.
