## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does the battery last? What percentage of battery is left after a round?**
A: I have got about 40 rounds in with the watch. After a full charge I have about 60-65 % still left using GPS and tracking shots and scoring etc...each round. Without GPS (golf) and using it as just a watch, I could probably go a week.

**Q: I love the look of this watch. I'm not a golfer. Can I delete the golf apps on the watch?**
A: It's a golf watch so my guess is they are built into the watch. Just don't use them. The balance of the watch will work fine.

**Q: What is the length of the warranty?**
A: Garmin outdoor products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the original date of purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Golf Watch -
*by B***E on October 1, 2023*

This is a great mid-level option for a great golf watch. I've tried a few other watches and devices that proved to be of limited value or were just to cumbersome and intrusive to use during play. The S42 strikes a nice balance. Here are some responses to the negative reviews that I read and some thoughts...-Screen brightness. I'm not sure why some have an issue is here, it seems fine to me. Keep in mind that Garmin uses a transflective screen rather than an OLED/AMOLED screens of other devices. The transflective screen provides better visibility in direct harsh sun than other screens found on watches or tablets. It also does not require a backlight (but it has one to be readable unless in darkness). The downside is that resolution isn't as good as your Apple watch.... but we're keeping golf score and tracking distances, not watching 4k movies... so it is more than adequate. Also note that when you interact with the device, the backlight comes on briefly to help with visibility. The backlight then turns off very quickly in the factory setting... you can change this duration in the settings so that the backlight stays on longer... if you have an issue, just adjust the duration setting.-Acquiring satellites. My watch seemed to acquire satellites quickly (2-3 minutes) if kept open to the sky for just a few minutes. (it should be obvious, but do this outside!) It took even less time to acquire satellites on the second use. Pro-Tip: Set your watch up at home and get familiar with the functions, let it locate satellites in your area... there are some great videos and the manual is very straightforward. Don't wait til you get to the course to crack open the box with 10 minutes to your tee time!-Easy to use/ Easy to understand the UI. It is VERY simple to use. Very! The manual is simple and easy as is the device. As I said, just spend a few minutes playing with it before you get to the course... it's very intuitive. Even without the manual, it's pretty easy to figure things out. You will, however, get a better understanding of all the features if you watch some videos and read the manual.-Score keeping was really good, fast easy and you can track some stats and it will even do some club/shot tracking. I've used tons of devices for score from phone apps and watches, this one is one of the fastest and easiest even when tracking stats (# of putts, penalties, etc) It's nice to be able to play a round without pulling your phone out.-Club Shot tracking - This worked great. Really good even without the CT10 sensors. Just go into the app before hand and list the clubs in your bag. It picked up all my shots very well with the understandable exception of putts and light chips. You can review your shot history on a course map in the app and even make adjustments after play.-Accuracy - It was spot on. I read some other reviews that listed this as a problem. It was spot on for me all day.It's a price-point device... not the most feature rich but not barebones either. I think it strikes a great balance between providing some data and scoring and keeping it simple and fast to use without becoming a distraction out on the course.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Golf Watch for Ladies!
*by A***I on January 23, 2025*

I absolutely love this attractive and useful watch! I had the previous S40 model and it finally died (stopped charging) after a few years. This one is more feminine looking and is exactly what I need on the golf course. It's very accurate in yardage. Don't hesitate in purchasing if you are a lady golfer ;)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Just Your Ordinary Smart Watch
*by J***E on June 12, 2024*

Purchased the White with silver. It's very sharp looking and has so many smart functions. It did take me charging and downloading to Garmin Connect to get the watch fully functional but once I did I realized how great of a watch it is. I did a lot of research and reviewing, even bought another Garmin watch to only return it because it didn't have all the functions I needed to make it an all in one watch that I was looking for. I play a lot of golf in Florida and in Michigan for the summers so I needed something that was sturdy, reliable and having all the other Smart watch functions to make this a one stop watch I can leave on for everything I need it for. I have a friend who literally wears two smart watches while playing golf, how silly is that. I am very pleased with my decision. Thank you Garmin!!!
