5.0 out of 5 stars simple April 26, 2012

By mike

Color Name:White| Size Name:OS|Amazon Verified Purchase

This GPS is simple to use, fairly accurate, well within my ability, and it's right there on your wrist. I just played a round with a guy with a laser range finder and I was within a yard of what he was seeing. He had to take his range finder in and out of the case and it took a few seconds to determine the distance. While he was getting his range finder out I would tell him the distance. He asked a few questions and by the fourth hole he said he has to buy one. Love it, recommend it, keep it simple.

3.0 out of 5 stars BUY THE BLACK ONE January 23, 2012

By american ann

Color Name:White| Size Name:OS|Amazon Verified Purchase

I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO GET THE GARMIN WATCH RANGE FINDER IN CALIFORNIA AND ENGLAND.

THE FIRST WAS THE BLACK ONE AND I LOVED IT. I HAD TO BUY A SECOND ONE FOR ENGLAND AS NOT LOADED WITH EUROPEAN GOLF COURSES.

I FOUND VERY EASY TO OPERATE, ALTHOUGH YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WHEN CHARGING THAT THE WATCH HAS TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND THAT YOU ATTACH THE LITTLE PRONGS TO
THE CHARGER AND THEN MAKE SURE THE GARMIN NAME AND THE BATTERY SIGN COME UP BEFORE WALKING OFF. NO PROBLEM WHEN YOU DO THIS.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW WHITE ONE, IT IS SLIGHTLY REDESIGNED. THE MENU BUTTON SITS FLUSH WITH THE WATCH AND THEREFORE MORE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. ALTERNATIVELY, THE BLACK WATCH BUTTON STICKS UP A LITTLE, MAKING EASE OF OPERATION.

I AM RETURNING THE WHITE FOR A BLACK ONE, AS I SOLD MY BLACK TO A FRIEND.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CONCEPT. JUST GET THE BLACK ONE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ladies Garmin Watch March 30, 2012

By love golf

Color Name:White|Size Name:OS

The item was shipped safely in it's original box with instructions for use and with charger. Very easy to use. Once charged, using the easy to use charger, the Garmin can be used for more than two 18 holes of golf. Golf courses load automatically into the GPS. You don't need to pay an annual feel or upload the courses by computer programs like the Skye Caddy GPS. When checking the distance for your next shot, you don't have to carry anything extra, the device is already on your wrist. It is very accurate. It looks good. My girlfriends are so impressed with the convenience that they will be ordering their own Ladies Garmin Watches. You will be very happy with this device.
