Review: Battery Life is unbelievable - Bought this for a golf trip to Portugal. Once connected to the app it was good to go. Found time and date automatically through gps, loaded the exact course I was on in seconds and gave accurate yardages. It’s basic but perfect. Bought 3 weeks ago and used for 4 rounds of golf, still has 50% battery!!!
Review: Great piece of kit - Bought this Garmin S12 watch (2022 model) to replace my Sky Caddie which even though it is still very functional, sky are discontinuing it from its satellite therefore I will no longer be able to use it. The Garmin S12 is just as accurate, it is so light you don't even know you are wearing it, easy to use and has great features to boot. It has 40,000 or more more preset courses with no additional fees to pay. Just wish I had done this years ago. This excellent piece of kit is worth every penny compared to the other one I have been using. Don't be afraid to buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good golf watch
*by M***G on 13 November 2025*

Works well on course. Not as detailed as more expensive watches but has great battery life. Biggest irritation is the charging as it does not indicate when reaches full charge.
