Excellent video, speaking clearly, straight to the point, no wasted footage. Well done.

Love your positive attitude on the course... I have had the S40 for a few years now and still really like it. This seems like a nice upgrade though if you want a bit more data.

Stunning piece of next level tech with the S70. Worth every penny if you are looking to improve your game. I waited 3+ years for this AMOLED screen. Now I just have to get 5 rounds in 3 days .... 😂 So the Caddy can kick in! Thanks Gabe for another great video!

Thank you. As an owner I learned a couple of tricks I wasn’t aware of. Still super happy with the watch. My Apple Watch has been collecting dust since got this.

I bought this watch it is amazing. The other stuff for sleep and recovery works well too.

I bought my S70 a couple of weeks ago and love it. Your videos are terrific and I appreciate the time and effort you put in to deliver quality content. I'm trying to find more info on some of the more obscure golf features of the S70 - like setting custom targets. I'll poke around with the watch on the course to see if I can figure it out. I switched from the Apple Watch / Arccos universe to Garmin. It is quite a bit different - but I am loving having the nice course layout on the watch face.

Think l have said to you before, Gabe, I'm amazed at the amount of golfers here in Scotland who do not have a watch or rangefinder. Having either really does help you save shots on course. Great video again 👍.

This is a great video showing all the various aspects. Well done sir and great vibe (not too serious). Thank you

Good video, just ordered an S70 today. I have a Bushnell Ion Elite, which was very good, I only used it for a few rounds in the Fall, its now up for sale on ebay. I need the health & fitness features and combined with a Golf GPS, the S70 is a no brainer. I'm getting the best of both worlds so to speak. I like this Virtual Caddie feature, I'll see how it goes, may not need to get the CT sensors. Many years ago i had ARCOSS when it first came out back when you had to keep your iphone in your pocket. SMH.

It is a shame that the app for the shots tracked and rounds played is so basic/bad compared to Shot Scope or Arccos.

I never paid attention to the caddy on the epix. Last round I had medium length par 3 and it was telling me to hit a 5 iron and where to aim. I thought it was crazy but realized we were into wind, so gave it a shot. Hit the green pin high. Might be a convert now

The Garmin s70 is looking like a must have!!!

I have the s70 and am a bit disappointed in some of the features. It seems like the plays like distance doesn’t account for front or back pins so you still have to make an adjustment for that. I also took this watch on a golf trip and on 2 of the 3 courses I played the yardages were way off, like 80-100 yards off based on what the gps map in the cart was showing me so watch was pretty useless.
I made sure the courses were downloaded and the software was updated and I even restarted it and changed tee boxes. Thankfully I had a rangefinder but I expect a lot more from this watch.
The screen is great as is the battery life and the plethora of smart watch and health tracking features are great. I’ll give is few more rounds but I may go back to the s62 which is great.

Just purchased it and can’t wait to use it.

I ended up ordering the EPIX PRO GEN 2 in 47mm sapphire today...it has all the same golf stats as the Approach s70 i found out...hope i made the right choice...lol....thx again for your review

[Bishopg]

Awesome. I didn't know how to use the features. Thanks

[markzinda]

So, the more you play, the greater the accuracy. Hope you’ll continue to use it over the Summer and then do a follow-up report.

[DanielWaun]

I want an S70 so bad, but i just got the Arccos system so I'll stick with it this year and look to the watch perhaps next year or if it goes on a big sale around black Friday or something.

[patrickpham]

One of my biggest gripes is I can't mark shots as OB or into hazard where I have to take a drop, and deleting/reallocating shots on the fly.

It's a pretty simple function and yet somehow Garmin can't or won't implement it

[kevinjeffery]

Well presented I have the S62, would love to upgrade to the S70
