It shows you an overhead view of the hole you\u2019re on and tracks some pretty cool stats which you can see on the app. It has a bunch of courses already programmed in (not sure the exact amount) but all the courses I normally go to were on it. It also has handicap scoring, so you can track your performance more effectively. Sure, it\u2019s one of the more expensive GPS units on the market, but the benefits are worth it if you\u2019re able to afford it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s all the info you were looking for then great.

You can see how far you hit each club and you can track your round right on the watch itself (not other peoples though). It\u2019ll automatically track putts per round, fairways\/greens in regulation, and left vs right shots. You can see all that info on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has some pretty cool training apps to help your game. Tempotraining&nbsp;will help find the right tempo for your swing. Swingstrength will help you compare good swings to bad ones. Then, all you have to do is set your&nbsp;good swing and the GPS will tell you how you compare. Pretty cool if you ask me\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting it up was pretty easy. All you had to do was charge it on your computer, turn it on, select your language, input your driver distance, what hand you shoot, and then create your Garmin account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garmin claims the watch has over 38,000 courses already programmed in (who knows if it\u2019s true) and new ones are always&nbsp;being added. Pretty much all the courses I normally go to were on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s good and all, but how did it perform\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did The GPS Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s a watch, the screen is pretty small and can be a bit tricky getting used to it. After a couple of rounds, it wasn\u2019t a problem though. It seemed to be well built (for the time we\u2019ve had it) and would be something that\u2019ll last a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of accuracy, we found it to be accurate to about +\/- 4 yards on average, which was completely fine for me. It showed distances to greens, bunkers, water, creeks, and you could even manually input 5 targets on each hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, there\u2019s really nothing else you\u2019d want a GPS to do. It did the job it was made to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s It Best For\/Not For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d say this GPS would be perfect for anyone who golfs a lot and would put the thing to good use. It\u2019s a fairly expensive device and you\u2019d probably only benefit from it if it\u2019s used a lot (or if you have the money to burn). If you\u2019re out there a couple of times per year, go with a cheaper model. If you want a top-notch device, I\u2019d recommend the S6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It comes with an overhead hole view so you can see everything.<\/li><li>It\u2019ll track a bunch of stats that can help your game.<\/li><li>It has a lot of courses programmed in.<\/li><li>It comes with handicap scoring.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>At the time of this post, you can\u2019t view your score on the watch (only on the app).<\/li><li>It\u2019s more expensive than some other GPS watches.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Performance score: 10<\/li><li>Price score: 7<\/li><li>Durability score: 9<\/li><li><strong>Personal score: 8.5<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I really liked the S6 GPS and would recommend it. It\u2019s not the cheapest thing out there but if you plan on using it a lot I think it\u2019d benefit your game quite a bit. <a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00L4ECX5G?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check the price on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B00L4ECX5G\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Garmin Approach S6 Dark\"><strong>Check the price on Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was accurate enough for me and the stats it provided were really useful.
