[@joseduartesantos9127]

Good afternoon, my Garmin S 62 does not turn on, a triangle appears on the display. What to do?

[@richdiorio3650]

Thanks. I did watch your virtual caddy video and you say it does take into account the wind when virtual caddy selects my club. Right?

[@haraldfrank8227]

I have this watch two weeks. So much fun on the golf course. But not only on the course, there is also fun on the tennis court and running. That’s my first smart watch and I love it.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome great purchase, congrats

[@Jarnukka]

I have now watched two of your golf watch reviews. I just love your reviews, they really show what the watch can do. You just play way too well to show how it works when you end up in woods ;).

[@dondwyer1366]

I watched all of your video's on the S62 and decided to upgrade from my Approach S6. Unfortunately, the first one I bought from Golf Town I couldn't get to work properly. It found my home course, but wouldn't update the GPS and move automatically from hole to hole. I reset back to factory default and still nothing. Brought it back for a replacement and will try again tomorrow. Love the in-depth video's.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Sorry to hear that, hope your replacement fairs better. It’s an amazing device. Appreciate you watching the videos.

[@supersaiyanyaaj4219]

Thanks, for the review keep it coming. Just got mine S62 Here is what I find it lacking at the moment. 1. Club selection for punch shot when you need to punch out a shot. It will let you input the club but no punch shot offer. 2. There is no re-Tee shot you just get penalize. Once sync through the app it doesn't show your Re-Tee shot it just count as you hit it from the water or wood area. 3. It is not as accurate as the laser finder it off by couple ft. 4. S60 when you press the golf button for a couple second all the golf widget like putter area, flag pin point, wind show up there. They need to bring back the widget shortcut like the S60 into the main golf screen. If you able to figure out please post here. 5. Need WiFi for better connectivity so it don't depend on bluetooth to sync n update. 6. Need shortcut for GPS, Bluetooth for faster on and off switch.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Great feedback

[@davidrowlands8451]

Also what is really cool, is after your 5 rounds your virtual caddie will also take wind speed and direction into account and will suggest the appropriate club AND show you where to aim it is an amazing watch, I highly recommend it :)

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes, I will be showing this feature in an upcoming video. thanks David.

[@janfreitag5017]

​@@LetsPlayThru It would be awesome when you also could show some of the garmin golf app features, after you uploaded a round or two, because I really couldn't find a dedicated video about this.

[@kourt2469]

Question, can you edit the shot data after you play? Like for example can you go edit in chip shots or penalty strokes etc? Or does it just assume you hit the center of the green Everytime you get on the green

[@brucephillips1736]

Another FAB-ulous segment on the S62 - (Marketing 101 -Features, Advantages, and Benefits)! And from none other than the Carrollhood Golf Course - I'd like to get over there and play that course. FYI - there's a Tampa band called Carrollhood; I thought that was funny! But for real, you've pretty muchsold me on the S62 with your videos. Great job!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Carrollhood- nice. Haha

[@Giovanni-zc1lv]

Thanks! Your game looks like mine! Would love to see the wind detection and caddy interaction. The watch said gap but you added a club to wedge. The features are amazing! I have never been a watch guy per say and hate anything on my wrist so I am a laser guy. So i check out the Z!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Giovanni. You can check out the wind feature at 9:50 in the video. Yes, I used to have a gap wedge but I recently removed it from my bag and added a 3 iron. This watch you don't even feel on the wrist. So light and it doesn't get in the way of a swing. Z82 is amazing though too. Just preference.

[@davidrowlands8451]

hi bud I use the s62 and the wind direction and speed is spot on you have to have it paired to your phone by blu tooth and that aint a prob i just leave my phone in the bag :)

[@fabiocontratto8784]

Actually you can touch the yardage numbers and they then change to an adjusted yardage taking the topography of the course into account. For me this is the best feature of that watch, because in Switzerland we have a lot of hilly courses so the air-line distance doesn't help you a lot. Just as an example: Hole 7 at my home course is an up hill hole. 234 meters to the pin, actually playing 265... This is why i got this watch. That is awesome, especially for courses you have not played before. Crucial for example for an uphill dog leg with a bunker at the "knee". only then you know how for far it really is to carry that bunker Also, you can check the current wind and take that into account too. You got to figure it out yourself though, the watch doesn't include the wind into the adjusted yardage numbers but only the slope like mentioned above Also a great feature: The pin pointer. I have played a lot of holes where i could not see the green or the flag stick (from tee shots or approaches). The watch gives you a perfect idea of where to hit so you don't have to walk around like an idiot to figure out the direction to the pin...you know what i mean.

[@ifoundwaldo78]

I thought the virtual caddie took wind into account??

[@fabiocontratto8784]

@@ifoundwaldo78 it does but the caddy is pretty much useless because as far is i noticed it only takes direct distance. Not adjusted. Also if you had some crappy shots at the beginning training your virtual caddy, then it will recommend false clubs. And, sadly, the adjusted yardages, as well as the normal one, in standard mode does not take wind into account. You have to check on it separately.

[@petegalindez9961]

Great review. I think it uses a microphone to hear the click of the club hitting the ball to activate the sensor that you actually took a shot. Wish the SkyCaddie had the club tracking because the graphics on that one are insane!!! I find having both the laser range finder and the watch are complementary since none of the watches actually tracks the flag (unless you set it on the unit when you get close enough to see it), but gives you the distance to front, middle and back, then use the range finder for the pin distance…

[@badmacbassandbass8118]

Excellent video. Wish all golf apps had videos demonstrating real world use. Great job!

[@mem30075]

Agreed...great golf watch with really useful features. I am also comparing it to a Voice Caddie T9 and they are both very good...although leaning towards the S62 due to its brighter screen and a bit easier navigation.

[@montriond1]

The Garmin manual isn't very clear on using the S62 autoshot feature so thanks for explaining it clearly. After my first round with the watch I've been wondering how to record the distance of a shot into the green as it doesn't automatically detect putts and assumed I would have use the manual 'Add Shot' option. Hadn't noticed that it automatically detects that you've reached the green. Of course the stats become flawed with duffed fairway shots and particularly wedges which aren't always hit 100% but I guess it's useful for logging information on full shot club distances. Good video.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Nice features, I love the color too! Mine was so old that it broke the other day, so I’ll definitely consider this one 👍

[@davidncollins13]

[@Arragato]

This watch is super impressive. I'm happy I got this one for my dad instead of the S42. He isn't the most tech savvy so this ticks off all the checkmarks. Hopefully it gives him a bigger itch to want to get out more

[@Naku-SomewhereYouAreNot]

If I may... it does catch your chip shots, but I'd say probably only 50% of them. But I almost always recognize it when I review the round later and can add those shots in using the phone app or on the website. Also, you mentioned that if you forget to enter the club used before your next swing, it skips it. That's another thing you can go in later and edit the club used on forgotten shots. Another thing I've done is added an extra club I call "CPO" (chip/pitch/other) for shots I don't want assigned to a particular club because I don't want it to count towards the average distance for that club. For instance, my sand wedge, I use more for chips than for full swing and the average distance would probably be less than 20 yards. I also assign flubbed shots (that's the "other") to the CPO club. If I totally hose a shot, I don't need that counting against average for the club, it wouldn't help my game when selecting a club. I love this watch for the statistics it keeps. I know so much more about my game. Knowing the true average distance on my clubs was immensely useful. One thing I didn't know before this watch was that I hit a lot of fairways (kind of hard not to remember bad ones). I'm in the upper 92% (of people that own the watch) on that. Unfortunately, I'm only in the 15% for distance with my driver (about 220 yds on avg). That average would be better if I played downwind more! ;)

[@LetsPlayThru]

That is awesome feedback! I’ve seen the same thing happen with my chips, but maybe not quite as often. Have you found that keeping track of your stats has given you new things to work on? Anything that surprised you?

[@Naku-SomewhereYouAreNot]

@@LetsPlayThru My assumptions about club distance were off before the watch and knowing actual distance really helped me pick the right club. Plus I'm now aware of my club distance gaps. I used to just assume a 10 yard distance gap between all clubs. Awareness helps. Also, it's shown me getting up and down from bunkers is one of my weak spots. But it's giving me an upward trend now because I've worked on that a lot. I work on all of my game, but this helps me to focus on areas that need more attention. One little item on the "course performance" that enlightened me. That feature puts your stats together for all of your rounds on a particular course. I can't find this anymore (software change), but you could see what your best and average score is on every hole. I discovered a hole on my favorite course that I had NEVER gotten a par on. Once I discovered that, you can bet that hole got my full attention ever since. It remains mostly a bogie hole still. But yes, I've par'd it and even birdied it now. It's just damned long and takes a really long second shot even if I hit one of my better drives. I love the ability to go back and review every shot on the computer. I know so much more about my game now after owning this watch a few years. I wish I had it sooner.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thats super cool. Sounds like you are getting the most out of the S62. Well done and hope you continue to enjoy

[@kourt2469]

How do you go about editing shots after the round? I haven't figured that out yet.

[@Naku-SomewhereYouAreNot]

@@kourt2469 using the Garmin Golf app on your phone. Once the round is complete and saved, you can go back and review. Add shots, add clubs you forgot to enter, a number of things.

[@ausdoug974]

if you don’t mind a follow-up question, I have an Apple phone/watch and have already purchased the Golfshot Plus app. It has a watch interface, but the interface doesn’t look as user-friendly as the s62. I also am thinking about your advice regarding leaving the phone in the bag and not fiddling with it during a round. Do you think the advantages of the s62 are worth dumping the Golfshot app? I’m happy to write off the app if appropriate. I’m just thinking about the benefits of a watch versus a phone. Thanks for your help.

[@LetsPlayThru]

AusDoug for me the Garmin is a very different experience from most apps- much more intuitive, seamless & ultimately more powerful. The battery on this is incredible and I don’t need the phone which I love.

[@ausdoug974]

Lets Play Thru Golf Travel Show brilliant. Thank you. I’ll buy it

[@DouglasB65]

I wear my watch on my right wrist because I am predominantly left handed other than playing golf. The club prompt does not come up because Garmin support said I should be wearing this watch on my leading wrist for better detection. This should be able to detect a swing regardless of which wrist you have it on. Hopefully there will be a software update for this. Great review and I really like the watch, but the marketing for this watch should have been more transparent especially for the price tag.

Nice Watch! I like all the features this has. Love that the watch tracks your distance and asks what club you used without having to push or scroll on anything. How long did it take to locate the satellites?

[@LetsPlayThru]

It took approx 2-3 min this time. With these things I always recommend locating them right when you get to the course or during warm-up. You don’t want to be standing on the 1st tee waiting. Yes it’s super convenient that it just “knows” when you swing.

To my knowledge, yes. The caddy should account for wind if you have wind enabled (which means you need the phone nearby).

Great review. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 which has the shot detection feature (but doesn't allow you to assign clubs). 90% of the time it picks up a real shot, but 10% of the time it either doesn't detect a real shot, or it counts one of my practice swings as a shot. Is there a way to "discard" a practice shot on the watch, or to manually set that a shot was taken if the watch missed it?

[@LetsPlayThru]

I believe that if you swing again it will re-register. But I would have to test that. I don’t think there’s a way to throw out a swing on the watch, but possibly in the app.

Hello! Once you play the 5 rounds to activate the Virtual Caddy, do I need to constantly upload the scorecards forever? i.e. I just started so I'm sure my yardage will get "better", but I don't want to do the scoring on my watch and phone after I activate it. Can I just use the club prompt feature to upgrade my yardages? Thanks again.

[@sumimasn]

after taking a shot and inputting the club u hit, can u set the watch so u don't have to put in the # of putts and the fairway drive and so on to save time? i rather not spend the time to put all that stuff in between holes. thanks

[@LetsPlayThru]

You don't have to keep track of stats if you don't want to, but from experience it's very quick and worthwhile for the data the app can tell you about your golf game and where it can be improved.

[@sumimasn]

Great. Would u happen to know how I turn them off? I was so excited to try my s62 I bought a couple days ago and yesterday on the course, I couldn’t figure it out. After I got my distance on the first hole and took my firs shot, it stayed on the same distance screen and didn’t ask me to put my club in. I played the entire round with the screen that shows distances. I ended up using my the free app on my iPhone for the entire round like I did before I bought the s62. So disappointing. I’m hoping if I learn how to turn that other stuff off, that it was ask me for my club after I hit in my next round and I can start using my watch. I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but I guess I’m not. BTW. The software is updated via my Mac in case u were wondering. Thank you so much for your help! Love to be able to play golf at your level some day..

Thanks. I am buying this right now

Awesome, hope it serves you well!

[@meredyddosborne6490]

You mention that you love high end watches. I was wondering why you haven't done a review of the Garmin Marq Golfer?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Great question, I have been desperately trying to. Apparently that one is only sold thru jewelry stores and boutiques. So my regular channels don’t have access to it unfortunately.

[@waltrogers8529]

I purchase the S62. I only play 9 holes because I am old. Since using the watch I have played about 10, 9 hole rounds. I still don't have the virtual caddy working, not sure if it will without playing 5, 18 hole rounds. My biggest concern is that after using the drive it doesn't show at the top, the distance I hit the driver. Do I have to have the virtual caddy working before it will show this? Any feedback will be appreciated.

[@ryanmalone1]

Great video. Thanks!

[@Mrl-dg5oo]

I’m looking into getting the S62 and I’m wondering how well it does tracking where the approach shots land if your next shot is a putt. Do you have to manually log that shot to be accurate or should I get a CT10 for my putter and it will work seamlessly? Thabks

[@LetsPlayThru]

Two great questions. The s62 doesn’t automatically log where the shot lands onto the green. My best guess is it approximates it based on distance to the flag. I do wonder myself how that plays into club distance averages, I’ll have to research that. As for putts, it simply asks how many you took and that is a manual entry once you are on the green.

[@davidpolaski2079]

Enjoyed! Makes me want to get one.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Appreciate that

[@kawasaki9167]

Once you reached the green, the watch ask for score input. Do we need to finish putting first before input the score? Or input the count before putting in the score?

[@LetsPlayThru]

You’ll want to Putt out first then you can tell it the score, how many putts, fairway and hazards if any.

Kawa Saki my pleasure thanks for checking it out

[@kawasaki9167]

Lets Play Thru Golf Travel Show It was your review that led me to get the S62. And there is no other review that shows the "How to enter" the score except yours. So it's my pleasure indeed sir

[@ikeokorocha9797]

Following your review, I have bought the s62 and played once with it. I entered the club details with the shots but after play, it seems the club details have not been saved. What have I done wrong? Many thanks for your response. Great reviews though!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Make sure you turn on stat tracking. Others have said that out-of-the-box this option is not enabled. Once you do it should save all of your data. Let me know how it goes.

[@ikeokorocha9797]

That's great, now working. Thanks but I believe also required proper syncing to garmin golf. What is the function of the 'tournament mode'? Is it required for routine use and should it be turned on?

[@LetsPlayThru]

@@ikeokorocha9797 tournament mode simply removes some features like adjusting for slope and wind. Best to leave it on unless you’re going on Tour. ;)

Great review thanks!

My pleasure. Thank you for checking it out.

[@adamkenny1984]

Cheers mate. Does this also track your activity, meaning like it would if you selected a hike, walk or run whilst using the watch for the golf features? (So you can see things like the map, distance walked, etc)

[@LetsPlayThru]

It def tracks steps and runs, yes

[@adamkenny1984]

@@LetsPlayThru thanks. I mean will it track your "walk" or "golf" activity while your golfing and using the golf/shot features at the same time?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes although I don’t think it will necessarily map it. But will include it in the day’s totals

[@Chessgolfer]

Nice Swing!!! Pretty awesome Review!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks 🙏

[@ForetoFourGolf]

Oh and I’m glad I’m not the only one that falls into the trap of getting the perfect yardage then ignoring the wind 🙈

[@LetsPlayThru]

It only took me 3 shots to realize it, lol

[@ForetoFourGolf]

Lets Play Thru Golf Travel Show I have a video coming out in a few weeks where it took me 6 holes to work it out!

[@Durianshake]

Just bought my S62 last week... It's already my 3rd round.. why I couldn't see something prompting me what club I used everytime I smash inspite turning on the club prompt? No automatic recognition of clubs I used. I just manually input the club everytime thru "last shot".... I know virtual caddie will start after 5 rounds...

[@LetsPlayThru]

you have to make sure that stat tracking is turned on in settings

[@simonhudson8739]

Hi, i bought one of these recently, do you know why the watch doesnt display the hole view once connected to the first tee ? All I'm seeing is the 3 distances ? Thanks

[@LetsPlayThru]

To be honest I’m not 100% sure but I’ve got to imagine it’s just a setting. Have you gone through the menus?

[@Big-three492]

Do you use the wind feature?

[@LuisGonzalez-nr7zd]

Great video!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Luis

[@robertshields6214]

You mentioned wind numerous times. Curious why you didn't use the feature that factors in wind?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Just didn’t occur to me as the wind was higher up. On the 2nd hole I show that feature.

[@robertshields6214]

@@LetsPlayThru I just upgraded from S60 but haven't played with it yet. It was my understanding the feature will factor in the wind and show you adjusted yardage. I believe you just showed the ability to view wind speed and direction. I may be mistaken but that's what I got from the instructions.

[@GolfPlayed]

very interested in this feature

[@GolfPlayed]

would be the reason I would upgrade from my s60

Good afternoon, my Garmin S 62 does not turn on, a triangle appears on the display. What to do?

[@SAPAAMP]

You say that it will play music? Does it mean that I can connect to my spotify account and listen to music on wireless earbuds while running without my android phone being near? :) want to get a running + golf watch :) Cheers for a good video :)

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks for checking out the video. Unfortunately you would need to have your phone nearby to play music. It is not built into the watch. It just plays from Bluetooth.

What does the app look like? does it show you the shots on the course app? how does the data look?

I have looked at other KZbin videos on the S62, and they showed slope distances, is this something that you have to pay extra for? Plus which watch do you like better the S62 or Voice Caddie t9? Thanks

Yes, it does have slope. It's included out of the box.
