What Garmin watch to go with?

bulldoggolf · March 16, 2016

I'm in the market for a watch. I have narrowed it down to two choices the garmin S6 or the S20. I'm not sure i need all the bells and whistles the s6 offers but I am willing to pay for it if it's that much better then the s20. I do like the idea of the shot tracker, but if the shot tracker on s20 is just ok and it's just better to get a shot tracker device I.e Game Golf.

Few initial reactions to the S20 here: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1290586-garmin-s20-gps-watch/page__pid__13210644__st__180#entry13210644

I currently use Game Golf and I would be shocked if the AutoShot feature (when bugs are worked out) comes anywhere near Game Golf.

AutoShot will obviously not be able to detect the actual club used and the screen is never going to be comparable to an iPhone screen with the Game Golf app. With those two exceptions, there is no reason why a device like the S20, should not be able to offer similar functionality as Game Golf.

I guess you're right. I look forward to trying both this weekend (or whenever the AutoShot bugs are worked out).

At least for me, I wont' be using the S20 AutoShot as a primary club distance measure.
