ABOUT THIS VIDEO The first is the Garmin Approach S60. This is probably the most advanced golf-specific watch. The S60 will show you the distance to any point on the course, has the Plays Like feature, PinPointer, and a few more non-golf fitness tracking. The second is the Fenix 5 golf watch. This is a multi-sport watch that&#039;s designed for people who do outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, and swimming. It&#039;s an expensive watch and isn&#039;t the most comfortable because it&#039;s big and bulky and heavy-duty. The third is the Vivoactive 3. This is identical to the Fenix in terms of golf features and is better in my opinion because it&#039;s smaller, lighter, and more compact. It&#039;s also much less money. The last one is the Apple Watch. This is a watch that can download 3rd party golf apps to give you the distance to the green and also hazards and doglegs. It&#039;s high quality like most Apple products and the watch is fairly good for golf. Overall, if you want a golf-specific watch that has the most features we&#039;d recommend the Garmin S60. If you want a multi-sport watch we&#039;d recommend the Garmin Vivoactive 3. Share this video: https:\/\/youtu.be\/INF0yOUIH40 Welcome to Out Of Bounds Golf. My name is Jon and I&#039;m just an average golfer making videos on the internet. What you&#039;ll see here are videos on different golf products and we&#039;ll be trying to figure out what works the best for the average hacker. We&#039;ll be doing product reviews, comparisons between two similar products, the best gear for different types of players, and maybe we&#039;ll just play a round of golf. I&#039;ve been playing golf on and off for a number of years now but have become a lot more consistent over the past couple of seasons. Not long ago I was shooting somewhere around 100 and playing &quot;out of bounds&quot; golf way too often. I&#039;ve consistently broken 90 now and am working on breaking the 80 mark. My best round to date was 84 on a par 72 and my best 9 holes were 4 over.
