so the Neo or the Garmin? does the s1 have the shot distance tracker? or just the s3 and neo

S1 has the shot distance measure. I actually just ordered the Garmin S1. I use a Skycaddie SGX, also. I love the SGX, but wanted a simpler method for my home course. When I play other courses I'll use the SGX as it has all the hazards, doglegs, hole overview, etc.

the 18th green it's off by about 15 yards and that's because they re-built the green 15 yards to the right[/quote]

Be sure to report this to Garmin. I had a similar issue with the tee on #5 and after reporting it to Garmin, they fixed it in the next update. Garmin ships updates like clockwork every three months (which is a big reason why I prefer them versus the smaller players).

If you're considering an S1, I recommend looking at the WR62 instead. It offers more for the money. Longer battery life, better charge connection, cheaper price, limited hazard info, one touch shot measuring.

I've owned both and like both, but prefer the WR62 for the reasons above

I have the Garmin S1 after having a Sky caddie for years. I always wear a watch so moving to the Garmin was easy. No more annual fees. Gives front,middle & back, it has regular watch function and , also has a function to mark & measure shots. It also has gps function to measure the actual distance you walk. So it can be used off the course as well. Does not have lay up or hazard distances like the sky caddie. Overall I'm glad I made the switch. It has almost paid for itself since I am no longer paying sky caddie fees.

so which watch includes layup yardage? I am in the market for one and would like layup yardage as well as distance to the green. front back and middle of the green are fine for me, I dont need to have the ability to move the pin. I was looking at the garmin and bushnell. I have never heard of the wr62, but it sounds like its worth a look too.
